In this research, we investigated the effect of preparation conditions (MPD contact time, TMC reaction time, and addition of an amine salt) on the FO performance in terms of water flux and salt flux. The results showed that increasing MPD contact time resulted in a significant increase in the water flux and salt flux. However, increasing TMC reaction time caused a decline in both the water flux and the salt flux.

Providing potable drinkable water from saline or heavily polluted water using renewable energy has been further explored. Solar desalination, an eco-friendly, readily accessible and affordable technology. We have shown that there is a direct relationship and huge dependency of solar still daily distillate yield on the solar radiation intensity and the temperature difference between the condensing inner glass cover and the water. Hope of drinkable water for all through solar powered technology.

Our work investigates the settling behaviour of natural granules applied in drinking water treatment plants. We show that these natural granules have a tendency to show a considerably large deviation in terms of their settling velocity; this is contrary to what many velocity prediction models assume. In the current work we present and discuss the factors which contribute to the observed deviation in drag and settling velocity. It connects full-scale operations and research.

This study is to prepare a cellulose paper was impregnated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for the purpose of water purification (Disinfection (removal of several types of bacteria) and filtration). Sliver nanoparticles used in this work exhibit a broad size distribution with highly reactive facets. AgNPs paper provided rapid and effective bactericidal activity as the bacterially contamination.

This study analysed the impact of an extreme weather event, water quality deterioration and a growing drinking water demand on the sustainability of drinking water supply in the Netherlands. The results of the case studies were compared to sustainability issues for drinking water supply that are experienced worldwide. This resulted in a set of sustainability characteristics, describing drinking water supply on a local scale in terms of hydrological, technical and socio-economic characteristics.
