  • Various merchandises have appeared in recent markets of mineral water, beverage, food and cosmetics etc. These are almost manufactured by adding raw seawater, desalinated water, brine or salt from Deep Ocean Water(DOW), and it intimated desalination and mineral extraction are key techniques for DOW business. This study aims to verify the functional performance of mineral-controlled water produced by the basic methods which were proposed by authors for industrial purposes. This water revealed the possibility of the radical scavenging effects and moisturizing capability.

  • The purpose of this paper is to study the influence of geometry parameter on the ejector performance. The CFD results were verified with available experimental data. Flow field analysis was also carried out in this study. Variation on the geometry parameter was made by varying the angle of converging duct those are $0.5^{\circ}$, $2.0^{\circ}$ and $3.5^{\circ}$. The converging duct with an angle of $0.5^{\circ}$ gives the highest value of entrainment ratio that is 0.941. Furthermore, from this study it can be concluded that the entrainment ratio decreases with respect to the increase of angle of convergence duct.

  • The present study deals with a numerical simulation for the transport phenomena in three configurations of Membrane Distillation (Air Gap, Direct Contact and Sweeping Gas Membrane Distillation) usually used for desalination in order to make an objective comparison between them under the same operating conditions. The models are based on the conservation equations for the mass, momentum, energy and species within the feed saline and cooling solutions as well as on the mass and energy balances on the membrane sides. The theoretical model was validated with available data and was found in good agreement. DCMD configuration provided the highest pure water production while SGMD shows the highest thermal efficiency. Process parameters' impact on each configuration are also presented and discussed.

  • Surface modification is very efficient and scalable approach to achieve improved membrane performance. We treated Reverse Osmosis Thin Film Composite (TFC RO) membrane with various concentrations of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), a hydrophilic polymer after activation with sodium hypochlorite. This treatment resulted in an increment of the water flux by 43% and the salt rejection by 2.36% for the 3000 mg/l PEG-treated membrane. Further, these PEG-treated membranes were exposed to a mixture of 3000 mg/l PEG and 1000 mg/l sodium hypochlorite for 1 hour. Further modification of this membrane by PEG and sodium hypochlorite mixture increased the water permeance up to 133% when compared with the virgin TFC RO membrane. We characterized the treated membranes to understand the changes in wettability by contact angle analysis, changes in surface morphology and roughness by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) analysis.

  • Although membrane distillation (MD) has great promise for desalination of saline water sources, it is crucial to improve its thermal efficiency to reduce the operating cost. Accordingly, this study intended to examine the thermal energy efficiency of MD modules in a pilot scale system. Two different modules of hollow fiber membranes were compared in direct contact MD mode. One of them was made of polypropylene with the effective membrane area of $2.6m^2$ and the other was made of polyvinylidene fluoride with the effective membrane area of $7.6m^2$. The influence of operation parameters, including the temperatures of feed and distillate, feed flow rate, and distillate flow rate on the flux, recovery, and performance ratio (PR), was investigated. Results showed that the two MD membranes showed different flux and PR values even under similar conditions. Moreover, both flow rate and temperature difference between feed and distillate significantly affect the PR values. These results suggest that the operating conditions for MD should be determined by considering the module properties.
