Seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination facilities produce freshwater and, at the
same time, discharge hypersaline brine that often includes various chemical additives such …

Many coral reefs are found in arid and semi-arid regions that often face severe water scarcity
and depend on seawater desalination for freshwater supply. Alongside freshwater …

Freshwater scarcity, driven by population growth and climate change, is increasingly
mitigated by seawater desalination, globally. As an energy-intensive process, desalination is …

The impact of desalination brine on the marine environment is a global concern. Regarding
this, salinity is generally accepted as the major environmental factor in desalination …

Seawater desalination is one of the most feasible technologies for producing fresh water to
address the water scarcity scenario worldwide. However, environmental concerns about the …

Unlike the case for inorganic phosphate (Pi), removing organic phosphorus (Po) is more
challenging. Conventional methods for removing Po involve a two-step route, where Po is …

Antiscalants are used in seawater desalination facilities and are typically discharged with
the brine back into the coastal environment. We investigated the impact of two commonly …

Estimates of primary productivity have traditionally disregarded dark inorganic carbon
fixation by marine microorganisms. Currently, only limited data are available from different …

abstract With the expansion of seawater desalination, the impact of desalination brine on the
marine environment attracts increasingly concerning globally. Salinity is generally accepted …
