Abstract: A sea water harvesting process includes the steps of collecting sea water, filtering the sea water, passing the filtered sea water through a high-pressure reverse osmosis membrane to separate the sea water into de-salinated water and concentrated sea water, delivering the concentrated sea water to an evaporator, heating the concentrated sea water in the evaporator under vacuum to produce calcium sulphate, sea salt and a super-concentrated sea water. Downstream of the evaporator the super-concentrated sea water is heated to produce a concentrated mineral liquor containing sea minerals in a concentration of about 42%.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for desalination of salt water based on an engineered acoustic field that causes constructive and destructive interference at pre-computed spatial positions. The engineered acoustic field can cause high-pressure and low-pressure regions where desalination membranes are located. The induced pressure from the acoustic field can force pure water through the membranes leaving ionic and dissolved molecular species behind.

Abstract: A membrane seawater desalination pressurization and energy recovery integrated method. Piston rods of single-rod piston-type seawater cylinders are connected with single-rod piston-type hydraulic cylinders to form two or more than two working combined bodies which operate alternately. In a process that the hydraulic cylinders drive the seawater cylinders to move back and forth, one piston cavity of a seawater cylinder sucks high pressure condensed brine in the process of moving forward and drains the high pressure condensed brine in the returning process; and the other piston cavity of the seawater cylinder sucks raw seawater in the returning process, pressurizes the raw seawater in the process of moving forward and continuously and stably outputs the pressurized high pressure raw seawater to a reverse osmosis membrane module. Meanwhile, a membrane seawater desalination pressurization and energy recovery integrated device is further disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the preparation of novel antibiofouling Thin Film Composite (TFC) Reverse Osmosis (RO) membranes on porous polysulfone (PSf) support of thickness 30-40 micron. TFC-RO membranes were prepared by interfacial polymerization between neat m-phenylenediamine (MPD) in water and pyridine tricarboxylic acid chloride (PTC) or a mixture containing PTC and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) in mixture of hexane+dichloromethane. The best results in terms of flux, NaCl rejection and antibiofouling property were obtained with 2:3-1:1 weight ratio of PTC to TMC. The present invention also relates to the preparation of antibiofouling TFC membranes by the interfacial polymerization between mixture of melamine+MPD and TMC. The best results in terms of antibiofouling property, NaCl rejection and flux were obtained with 1:1 weight ratio of MPD to melamine.
