Global energy consumption has been highly dependent on fossil fuels which cause severe
climate change and, therefore, the exploration of new technologies to produce effective …

Pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) has been widely investigated as a source of clean
energy. Several configurations and hybrid processes have been suggested and deeply …

Abstract Pressure Retarded Osmosis (PRO) has attracted worldwide attention with respect to
its salinity gradient energy production potential, and low energy desalination applications …

Pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) is a method for converting salinity gradients to power by
allowing water to flow through a semi-permeable membrane against an applied hydraulic …

For the first time, one novel closed-loop pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) process promoted
by an effective hydroacid complex draw solution has been demonstrated for harvesting the …

An excessive amount of renewable energy could be possibly produced when solutions of
dissimilar salinities are combined simultaneously in a semipermeable membrane. The …

When two streams of different salinities are mixed, Gibbs free energy of mixing is released.
This energy can be harvested and further converted to electric energy through pressure …

Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) has gained attention due to its use as a salinity gradient
energy-generating membrane process. This process can convert difference in salinity …

Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) is a novel membrane process to produce energy. PRO
has the potential to convert the osmotic pressure difference between fresh water (ie river …

The feasibility of pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) for power generation was evaluated with
consideration of the energy inputs and losses in the process. The effects of the concentration …
