The DESOLINATION project made a remarkable impact at this year’s EuroMembrane Conference, a leading international event in membrane science and technology. Held in 2024, the conference brought together experts from around the world to share insights and explore the latest advancements in membrane technologies, particularly for water treatment and desalination applications.
We are proud to highlight that Aylin Kınık, from the Membrane Materials and Processes research group at Eindhoven University of Technology, represented the DESOLINATION project with an impressive poster presentation. Her research, conducted with professors Zandrie Borneman and Kitty Nijmeijer, explored the “Impact of Pluronic as Draw Solution on LbL-Membranes in Forward Osmosis (FO),” offering new perspectives on how these solutions can enhance membrane efficiency in desalination technologies. This cutting-edge work has sparked significant interest, contributing valuable insights into the future of sustainable water treatment.
The event provided an excellent platform for the DESOLINATION project to share these advancements with a global audience, further solidifying its role in shaping the future of membrane technologies. The breakthroughs presented at EuroMembrane 2024 showcase the project’s commitment to addressing critical challenges in water scarcity and sustainable desalination.
In addition, our project partner Tekniker (represented by Mailen Argaiz, see picture) presented their innovative research on thin-film composite membranes developed with electrospun nanofibers and graphene oxide (GO). Their findings demonstrated notable improvements in water flux (Jw) and salt rejection (Js)—key performance indicators for making forward osmosis membranes more effective in desalination processes.
Thank you to everyone who connected with us during the event and engaged with our research. Stay tuned for more innovations from the DESOLINATION team as we continue to push the boundaries of membrane science for a more water-secure world!
