Thermodynamic model for a reversible desalination cycle using polyelectrolyte hydrogels
(Corresponding) Rud O., Košovan P.
Topic:
Desalination
We propose a novel desalination scheme which employs the hydrogels as a tool to draw salt ions from a brine with low salinity to a brine with high salinity. As a driving force we use the fact that the volume of polyelectrolyte gel does depend on the surrounding salinity. While the salinity...Read more
Water desalination using polyelectrolyte hydrogel. Gibbs ensemble modeling
(Corresponding) Rud O., Laktionov M., Nova L.
Topic:
Desalination
Polyelectrolyte hydrogels possess the remarkable ability to efficiently absorb large volumes of water through an osmotic membrane by exerting swelling pressure. Conversely, the insoluble cross-linked structure of the gel allows for dewatering when triggered by external stimuli such as temperature...Read more
