Synopsis

Seawater desalination, with its multiple processes as reverse osmosis, distillation, electrodialysis is presented as a solution for the green and sustainable development, given its economic, production and environmental protection, seawater desalination should be based to be a viable solution as an energy-saving and efficient separation technology. Electrocoagulation (EC) is already known as an effective process for removing organic pollutants, and is an attractive method for producing drinking water. It can be advantageous, in many respects, to use this technology as a means of pre-treatment with membrane processes. At present, various pressure-driven membrane separation technologies such as ultrafiltration (UF), reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration (NF) have been successfully applied in the field of water treatment. This work. Is based on coupled electrocoagulation and nanofiltration to explore the possibility of reducing energy consumption by lowering trans-membrane pressure, while at the same time ensuring lasting and constant membrane permeability to reduce the phenomenon of membrane clogging in water desalination.
