Discover how membrane-based water treatment and desalination systems powered by renewable energy can maximize efficiency and address water scarcity

Water Treatment and Desalination provides a comprehensive understanding of the entire water treatment and desalination process, from membrane materials to system optimization and practical applications. This book shows how integrating renewable energy such as solar, wind, wave, geothermal, and bioenergy minimizes operational costs of water desalination over time, describes how to select, model, and design membrane-based desalination systems coupled with renewable energy, and demonstrates how to optimize efficiency and address global water scarcity challenges.

This book explores: - The increasing demand for freshwater resources worldwide and the environmental impact of conventional desalination methods
- Various aspects related to membrane technologies, including different materials, fabrication techniques, and characterizations for membrane treatment and desalination
- Emerging desalination techniques powered by waste heat and the recovery of minerals from seawater using membrane crystallization
- Membrane processes such as reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration (NF), and ultrafiltration (UF)

Water Treatment and Desalination is an essential reference for researchers, professionals, and advanced students in the fields of chemical engineering, environmental engineering, and water treatment. It can also be used for academic studies, research purposes, and as a reference guide for industry professionals.
