One book dealing with the fundamentals of thermal and membrane
desalination systems and discussing their economical as well as
environmental aspects. With a growing population, climate change
and greater water demand, desalination has increasingly become a
part of the solution to regional water scarcity - seawater
desalination capacity has roughly doubled in the past ten years.
Desalination has also begun to receive more attention in academia,
with research focusing on improving energy efficiency and system
robustness and lowering capital costs. With this book, an
introduction is given to the basics and fundamentals of
desalination systems. Both, thermal and membrane desalination
systems, are covered and discussed in view of energy, exergy,
economic and environmental aspects. In the beginning, Introduction
to Desalination: Systems, Processes and Environmental Impacts
describes multi effect evaporation, vapor compression and
multi-stage flashing. Further chapters deal with common
membrane-based separations like reverse osmosis and membrane
filtration, forward osmosis, diffusion dialysis and pervaporation
as well as thermo-osmosis, electrodialysis and electrodeionization.
Subsequently, hybrid systems are discussed, and the economic
analysis of such systems and their environmental impact are
highlighted. Each chapter contains theoretical and practical
examples and concludes with questions and problems for self-study.
* Needed: Desalination has become a part of the solution to
regional water scarcity and an introductory book in this field is
urgently needed. * Balanced Approach: Presents the fundamentals of
thermal and membrane desalination systems. * Learning Material:
Each chapter includes exercises for self-study and Instructors can
find teaching material online. Introduction to Desalination:
Systems, Processes and Environmental Impacts is an important
resource for master's students in engineering sciences, lecturers
in chemical and mechanical engineering, engineers, environmental
chemists, as well as process engineers, engineering scientists in
industry, and environmental consultants.
