TL;DR: In this paper, a new concept of ideal RO process is introduced for a more appropriate assessment of energy efficiency of water desalination, in which all the extra energy above the thermodynamic minimum is spent to maintain the required permeate flux.

TL;DR: The CC-DF process was not sufficient to mitigate biofouling but the UF membrane was effective in mitigating bioFouling on the RO membrane surfaces, which was presumably due to the residual coagulants and aluminum-humic substance complexes.

TL;DR: In this article, a self-supporting bucky-papers (BPs) made of hydroxyl-functionalized entangled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was used for reverse osmosis (RO) and osmotic distillation (OD) membranes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of silica fouling of reverse osmosis membranes in the presence of minute amounts of various inorganic cations such as iron, manganese, nickel and barium that are present in industrial and mineral processing wastewaters was investigated.
