Nitrogen compounds removal from brackish water by electrodialysis at fixed electric potential and dynamic current density operations.

Nitrogen (N) compounds can occur in water resources from natural and anthropogenic activities. It is ideal that these contaminants be removed before water consumption. As water quality has been affected by increased salinity and pH variation, more advanced and robust technologies such as electrodialysis (ED) can be considered for simultaneous desalination and pollutant removal.

Partial Desalination of Saline Groundwater: Comparison of Nanofiltration, Reverse Osmosis and Membrane Capacitive Deionisation.

Saline groundwater (SGW) is an alternative water resource. However, the concentration of sodium, chloride, sulphate, and nitrate in SGW usually exceeds the recommended guideline values for drinking water and irrigation. In this study, the partial desalination performance of three different concentrated SGWs were examined by pressure-driven membrane desalination technologies: nanofiltration (NF), brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO), and seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO); in addition to one electrochemical-driven desalination technology: membrane capacitive deionisation (MCDI).
