Use of Composite Materials in the Desalination Process
The vast majority of the Earth’s surface is covered by saltwater and people living on the remaining land need fresh water to sustain life. But, as our readers are well aware, more than 1 billion people lack reliable access to fresh water and that count is only expected to grow. Remarkably, almost 60 percent of the world’s population lives less than 60 km from a seacoast. Desalinated ...

Present and future activities of nuclear desalination in Japan
Seawater desalination plants have been installed at several nuclear power plants in Japan in order to satisfy the regulations for nuclear plant installation. This has been done where there is a limited source of water due to the geological conditions. These desalination plants are being operated to ensure supplemental water by using thermal or electrical energy from the nuclear power plant. The ...

Prospects of nuclear desalination and highlights of related IAEA activities
Currently, several IAEA Member States have shown interest in using nuclear energy for seawater desalination, not only because recent studies have demonstrated that nuclear desalination is feasible, but also because it is economical and has already been demonstrated in several countries. Therefore, this paper will provide a highlight on seawater desalination using nuclear energy as a potential for ...

Impact of elevated Ca2+/Mg2+ concentrations of reverse osmosis membrane desalinated seawater on the stability of water pipe materials
Hardness and alkalinity are known factors influencing the chemical stability of desalinated water. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of Ca2+ and Mg2+ on corrosion and/or scale formation on the surface of different water distribution pipe materials under tropical conditions. The corrosion rates of ductile iron, cast iron and cement-lined ductile iron coupons were ...

Effects of drinking desalinated seawater on cell viability and proliferation
Desalination of seawater is becoming an important means to address the increasing scarcity of freshwater resources in the world. Seawater has been used as drinking water in the health, food, and medical fields and various beneficial effects have been suggested, although not confirmed. Given the presence of 63 minerals and trace elements in drinking desalinated seawater (63 DSW), we evaluated ...

Seawater desalination and serum magnesium concentrations in Israel
With increasing shortage of fresh water globally, more countries are consuming desalinated seawater (DSW). In Israel >50% of drinking water is now derived from DSW. Desalination removes magnesium, and hypomagnesaemia has been associated with increased cardiac morbidity and mortality. Presently the impact of consuming DSW on body magnesium status has not been established. We quantified ...

Utilizing available `coldness` from Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) regasification process for seawater desalination
Abstract With the increasing use of natural gas, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is becoming more extensively used to ease the storage and transport of gas. The process of returning the natural gas to its gaseous state (regasification) prior to distribution to the gas pipeline absorbs large quantities of heat and therefore provides a readily available and inexpensive source of "coldness" at low ...

Prospects of nuclear desalination in Morocco
In the last few years, Morocco has faced a continuous series of dry seasons, which has put a great stress on its limited water resources. Hence, for some time now Morocco has been considering desalinating seawater to supply fresh water to some areas. In the early 1980's, due to limited energy resources, Morocco was obliged to consider other alternatives to meet its energy demands. A feasibility ...

Innovative seawater intake for reverse osmosis desalination plants
Seawater desalination plants typically consist of four major unit operations: seawater intake, pretreatment, Reverse Osmosis (RO) stage, and posttreatment and brine discharge. The best way is to go through vertical beach wells, but the increase of the production capacity of the plants built in recent years makes open intake the only solution. These open ocean intakes draw seawater through the ...

Water reuse in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – status, prospects and research needs
Saudi Arabia is one of the driest countries in the world. While desalination plants currently installed in the country represent 30% of the world's desalination capacity, seawater desalination alone will not be able to provide sufficient supplies to meet the increasing freshwater demand. However, with only 9% of the total municipal wastewater generated currently being ...

Monitoring of brine discharges from seawater desalination plants in the Mediterranean
Desalination of seawater has become an important and growing industry due to the water shortage in some Mediterranean countries. This activity may result in environmental impacts, mainly generated by the discharge into the sea of the concentrate (brine) produced. Data regarding the dispersion of these hypersaline effluents, and about their effects in the marine ecosystem, are very scarce. The ...

Optimum thermal coupling system for co-generation nuclear desalination plants
Owing to the small number of established nuclear desalination plants worldwide, there is a lack of technical data and not enough practical experience in the field of coupling systems. Therefore, in this study different coupling technologies concerning co-generation systems for linking nuclear power reactors to large thermal seawater desalination units (MED and MSF) are reviewed and optimised. ...
