About This Special Issue
Nowadays, Water faced a high shortage. SO, the scientists should find solution for this vital problem. Hence, seawater desalination is becoming a crucial intervention for mitigating water shortage in numerous middle east countries. Desalination technology is associated with nemours technological challenges that should be resolved to maintain plant sustainability and performance. For instance, seawater hardness is recognized as a challenge for recent large scale desalination plants. Numerous technologies including chemical treatment, adsorption and membrane filtration are some of the options for hardness removal and recovery of Ca++ and Mg++. So, the development and application of a new polymeric hydrogel exhibiting electrically tunable characteristics. The promising features of this novel hydrogel are elucidated in the removal and recovery of hardness causing elements in simulated seawater and brines. Moreover, the effect of some polymeric additives also will enhance the selectivity. It is concluded that using hydrogel is initially qualified for upstream seawater softening.

    Abstract: Using nickel oxide and ferric oxide materials, and ceramsite as carrier, the catalysts have been prepared by impregnation method including single-component and multi-component catalysts. The single-component and multi-component catalysts were used to study the COD removal performance of pharmaceutical secondary effluent respectively. First, the fac... Show More
