The World Scientific Reference of Water Science cover

Volume 3 presents chapters contributed by leaders in water desalination that describe both existing and new developments in desalination approaches, new materials, selectivity, water treatment chemicals, energy consumption and production, in addition to environmental considerations of desalination. The book provides a balanced and updated discussions and references pertaining to selective separations, expanded theoretical principles of membrane distillation, electrodialysis, and pressure retarded osmosis, in addition to applications in water reuse and irrigation, pilot studies, new membrane materials, and stimuli responsive membranes.
