The synergy between osmotically assisted reverse osmosis (OARO) and the use of thermo-responsive draw solutions for energy efficient, zero-liquid discharge desalination

Abstract:

Conventional zero-liquid discharge (ZLD) processes alleviate environmental concerns associated with brine discharge, but are not widely applied, due to their high cost and significant energy consumption. However, new and promising ZLD technologies, such as those integrated with osmotically assisted reverse osmosis (OARO), may be technically and economically more favourable than existing technologies. In this study, a numerical comparison between an FO and an OARO integrated ZLD process is pe...
