<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nGrowing population, changing climate and increasing urbanisation require increasing freshwater supply and the sustainable water usage for industries and agriculture is of top priority. One of the most viable solutions is to tap from the seawater and wastewater. Membrane technologies have been established as the golden standard for desalination to address the global deficit for clean water. However, it is still expensive, which is one of the main obstacles for prevalent adoption of membranes.<\/em><\/p>\nInnovation is key to reduce the energy consumption and the total cost. This can be advanced by developing high performance reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membranes, robust module and process design, as well as other novel desalination technologies. We have seen promise in breaking the permselectivity trade-off using state-of-the-art nanomaterials. Biomimetic single ion channel and artificial water channel have shown exciting results in bench tests. The Sixth International Conference on Membrane Desalination 2023 (MEMDES 2023) is the dedicated forum to disseminate the cutting-edge research and development in this regard.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/em><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.elsevier.com\/events\/conferences\/desalination-using-membrane” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”More information about the event” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_post_nav in_same_term=”on” prev_text=”Previous event” next_text=”Next event” _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” title_font=”|600|||||||” title_text_color=”#5a9eae” title_font_size=”18px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_post_nav][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/desolination.eu\/news\/” button_text=”Back to all news” _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” button_bg_color=”#000000″ button_icon=”8||divi||400″ button_icon_placement=”left” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Join the DESOLINATION project partners at the 6th International Conference on Desalination using Membrane Technology in Sitges (Spain) from 19th to 22nd November 2023 to discuss the latest developments in desalination using membrane technology!Three of our project partners Nadin Al-Jariry, Jonas Hedlund from the Department of Chemical Engineering at Lule\u00e5 University of Technology, Muhammad Suleman from Lund University, and Irena Petrini\u0107, Ross D. Jansen-van Vuuren, Thomas Luxbacher, and Hermina\u00a0Buk\u0161ek from the University of Maribor, had the opportunity to present our project to leading academic researchers, scientists and engineers from the membrane desalination sector and associated industries, as well as to representatives of governmental organizations, international agencies and aid organizations. The Univeristy of Maribor presented ‘Thermo-responsive Polyalkylene Glycol-based draw solutions for forward osmosis in seawater desalination’ as a poster contribution.\u00a0 Together with Lund University, they also gave an oral presentation focusing on ‘Modeling forward osmosis-membrane distillation hybrid process for seawater desalination: flux prediction and process optimization’ co-prepared by Suleman Muhammad, Al-Rudainy Basel, Petrini\u0107\u00a0Irena, and Frank Lipnizki.Presentation extracted from the event website Growing population, changing climate and increasing urbanisation require increasing freshwater supply and the sustainable water usage for industries and agriculture is of top priority.
