Journal ArticleDOI
A Critical Review of the Risks to Water Resources from Unconventional Shale Gas Development and Hydraulic Fracturing in the United States
Avner Vengosh,Robert B. Jackson,Robert B. Jackson,Nathaniel R. Warner,Thomas H. Darrah,Andrew J. Kondash +5 more
TL;DR: Analysis of published data reveals evidence for stray gas contamination, surface water impacts in areas of intensive shale gas development, and the accumulation of radium isotopes in some disposal and spill sites.

Desalination and reuse of high-salinity shale gas produced water: drivers, technologies, and future directions
Devin L. Shaffer,Laura H. Arias Chavez,Moshe Ben-Sasson,Santiago Romero-Vargas Castrillón,Ngai Yin Yip,Menachem Elimelech +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that desalination for reuse of produced water is technically feasible and can be economically relevant, however, because produced water management is primarily an economic decision, expanding desalinated for reuse is dependent on process and material improvements to reduce capital and operating costs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging desalination technologies for water treatment: a critical review.
TL;DR: Among the thermal-based technologies, membrane distillation and adsorption desalination show the most promise for enhanced performance with the availability of a waste heat source, along with a comparison of performance, water quality and energy consumption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Membrane fouling in osmotically driven membrane processes: A review
TL;DR: A comprehensive review on membrane fouling in ODMPs with a focus on the elaboration of the factors and mechanisms governing the fouling behavior is provided in this paper, where a general osmotic-resistance filtration model is presented to assist in the interpretation of the intrinsic interrelationships among those fouling factors and mechanism.

Forward osmosis: Principles, applications, and recent developments
TL;DR: In this paper, the state-of-the-art of the physical principles and applications of forward osmosis as well as their strengths and limitations are presented, along with a review of the current state of the art.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel ammonia-carbon dioxide forward (direct) osmosis desalination process
TL;DR: In this paper, a forward (direct) osmosis (FO) desalination process is presented, which uses an ammonium bicarbonate draw solution to extract water from a saline feed water across a semi-permeable polymeric membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluorescence analysis of dissolved organic matter in natural, waste and polluted waters—a review
TL;DR: A review of the use of fluorescence spectroscopic techniques to measure the intrinsic fluorescence of organic matter and the application of fluorescent DOM analysis in marine waters, freshwaters and wastewaters can be found in this paper.

Organic fouling of forward osmosis membranes: Fouling reversibility and cleaning without chemical reagents
Baoxia Mi,Menachem Elimelech +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used alginate as a model organic foulant to examine forward osmosis (FO) membrane fouling and cleaning behavior with the ultimate goal of determining the underlying FO fouling/cleaning mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Desalination by ammonia–carbon dioxide forward osmosis: Influence of draw and feed solution concentrations on process performance
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a commercially available forward direct osmosis (FO) membrane and found that the experimental water fluxes were far lower than those anticipated based on available bulk osmotic pressure difference and membrane pure water permeability data.
