A concise tutorial review of reverse osmosis and electrodialysis

P. M. Biesheuvel, S. Porada, L. Wang +3

Reverse osmosis (RO) and electrodialysis (ED) are the two most important membrane technologies for water desalination and treatment. Their modes of operation and transport mechanis…

Electrochemical removal of amphoteric ions

Amit N. Shocron, Eric N. Guyes, P. Maarten Biesheuvel +3

Several harmful or valuable ionic species present in sea, brackish and wastewaters are amphoteric, and thus their properties depend on the local water pH. Effective removal of thes…

Analysis of ionic conductance of carbon nanotubes

P. M. Biesheuvel, M. Z. Bazant

We use space-charge (SC) theory (also called the capillary pore model) to describe the ionic conductance, , of charged carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Based on the reversible adsorptio…
