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

Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) and forward osmosis (FO) have been proposed to
integrate with seawater reverse osmosis (RO) in order to reduce the overall energy …

The giant and sustainable salinity gradient energy broadly occurs when mixing solution
sources with different concentrations can be potentially harvested through the intensively …

Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) is an emerging technology to harvest the renewable
salinity-gradient energy. However, its performance can be significantly limited by severe …

Desalination can meet increasing water demands, but results in high energy consumption
and the discharge of highly concentrated brine. Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) can serve …
