Recent developments in pressure retarded osmosis for desalination and power generation

Muhammad Tawalbeh et al.

Summary: Mixing streams of different salinities releases Gibbs free energy that can be converted to electricity through pressure retarded osmosis (PRO). However, technical issues such as water transport in membranes, membrane material, fouling, process efficiency, and techno-economic viability pose challenges to its implementation. Process parameters directly impact the efficiency and power density of PRO, and improvements in PRO membranes are crucial for maximizing its potential benefits.

Energy Lost in a Hydrogel Osmotic Engine Due to a Pressure Drop

Tri Quang Bui et al.

Summary: The use of hydrogels to harvest salinity gradient energy has attracted interest, with polyelectrolyte hydrogels showing cyclic swelling/deswelling when in contact with freshwater and seawater. Research on the swelling/deswelling process of hydrogels revealed that epsilon has the largest effect on energy loss, with high pressure drops leading to significant energy loss. Developing hydrogel systems that deform less in their swollen state is essential for improving energy efficiencies in osmotic engines.
