An assessment of reverse electrodialysis for application to small-scale aquatic systems
Reverse electrodialysis (RED) is a means by which to produce electrical power through the flow of Na+ and Cl- ions from seawater to fresh water across ion selective membranes. While current research has largely focused on utilizing RED for large-scale commercial power, this thesis explores the …

System level design enhancements for cost effective renewable power generation by reverse electrodialysis
Studies of the future competitiveness of reverse electrodialysis (RED) with other energy technologies show that the projected levelized cost of electricity realized through current stack designs is prohibitively high. Despite these high projected costs, RED maintains other advantages - namely, the …

Improving bio-electricity production and waste stabilization in Microbial Fuel Cells
… MFCs is integration with other processes such as reverse electrodialysis to increase MFC’s cell potential or e.g. desalination. In this study a MFC was integrated with supported liquid membrane technology (SLM) for the first time, for the removal of metal ions of wastewater. A three chamber …

Membrane Processes for Sustainable Energy Applications
… the two streams. Membrane processes such as Reverse Electrodialysis (RED) and Pressure Retarded Osmosis (PRO) can be used to produce electricity using salinity gradients. The less-developed alternative of RED was chosen in this work.</p><p>We demonstrate the optimization of power output using …

Entrance effects on solution transport through nanoporous membranes
Solution transport across nanoporous membranes occurs in many different biologically and industrially relevant processes such as filtration of waste by the kidneys and desalination of seawater. The same theoretical framework can be used to understand both of these processes, as well as many others. …
