Growing requirements of freshwater and unsustainable nature of fossil fuels are driving the
interest in using renewable energy for desalination applications. Due to their less energy …

Combining two solutions of different composition releases the Gibbs free energy of mixing.
By using engineered processes to control the mixing, chemical energy stored in salinity …

Given increasing regional water scarcity and that almost half of the world's population lives
within 100 km of an ocean, seawater represents a virtually infinite water resource. However …

The enormous potential of harvesting energy from salinity gradients has been discussed for
decades, and pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) is being increasingly investigated as a …

This review focuses on the present status of forward osmosis (FO) niches in two main areas:
seawater desalination and wastewater reuse. Specific applications for desalination and …

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 …

The rapid increases in global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions have
stimulated the exploration of renewable energy sources as alternative fuels. Osmotic …

Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) and reverse electrodialysis (RED) are emerging
membrane-based technologies that can convert chemical energy in salinity gradients to …

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 …

The ever-growing global energy crisis has been pushing industries to lean towards
renewable resources as an alternative for power generation. Recent research is focusing …
