This underscores the importance of optimising and integrating these thermal-based desalination technologies with sustainable energy systems to utilize their waste heat and enhance the performance of these plants effectively. This research aimed to optimize and address the environmental challenges of MED-TVC desalination plants in areas with insufficient sunlight, unstable weather conditions, and limited economic resources. To this end, a model of an electric heater for generating thermal energy coupled with an optimized MED-TVC desalination plant was proposed. The MED-TVC section was optimized by incorporating an additional ejector in the final stage of MED-TVC demonstrating an increase of over 11 % in evacuating non-condensable gases from the last effect and increasing the product water by up to 14.89 %. Regarding the design of the electric heating elements used in electric heaters, the use of one-plus-two U-tubes with helical baffles was more efficient than multi-layer U-tubes with segmental baffles as improved the pressure loss of the thermal fluid by 25 % and increased the heat transfer coefficient of the heating elements to 18 %. The power section was also equipped with an off-grid system to provide the necessary power for the equipment of the proposed model. In the economic analysis of employing a parabolic trough solar collector and electric heaters, not only were the direct costs of the electric heaters almost equal to just 40 % of the direct costs of the parabolic trough solar collector approach but also the required thermal fluid was 50 % of the solar case.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23714,"journal":{"name":"Water Resources and Industry","volume":"32 ","pages":"Article 100262"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212371724000246/pdfft?md5=e9c0ed75367a19c9f5a16ec1b38af55c&pid=1-s2.0-S2212371724000246-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141582980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The structure and surface of STEA were characterized by elemental C, H, N, and Cl analysis, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, <sup>13</sup>C solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, specific surface area and pore size distribution determination, and point of zero charge measurement.

For batch adsorption, the best dose and agitation speed were 0.2 g L<sup>−1</sup> and 50 rpm, respectively. STEA effectively removed RGY over a wide range of pH (2.00–10.00).

This paper examines challenges related to environmental regulation of brine management in the Arab Gulf countries using the example of Qatar. It analyzes the brine challenge through infrastructure planning policies and stakeholders’ perceptions. The brine issue has been identified as a major environmental concern that requires action through discharge infrastructure, brine management technologies, and regulatory approaches based on quality thresholds and monitoring systems. Although there is a high level of agreement on the solvability of the brine issue, there are limitations with regard to the high reliance on desalination rendered through large-scale infrastructure. These limitations necessitate complementary water supply infrastructure for storage or the development of other sources through water reuse and storage. While water security considerations require prioritization of protection and supply continuity through desalination, incremental change through a stepwise dual approach of brine management and regulation is still possible.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23714,"journal":{"name":"Water Resources and Industry","volume":"32 ","pages":"Article 100259"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212371724000210/pdfft?md5=9562ad58471df59c64d6b03c2fcfea57&pid=1-s2.0-S2212371724000210-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141325739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
