Membrane fouling is an intrinsic problem of membrane technology which affects process performance and causes a substantial rise of the operating costs. This becomes central in seawater desalination processes. This study ...
[EN] Fouling accumulated on reverse osmosis (RO) membranes during operation is one of the main problems affecting seawater desalination processes. This phenomenon causes a deterioration of the permselective properties of ...
[EN] A general procedure for developing stable solar absorptive coatings at both high temperature and a high solar radiation concentration is presented. In order to generally improve thermal efficiency, a coating with high ...
