Evaluation of Ceramics Adsorption Filter as a Pretreatment for Seawater Reverse-Osmosis Desalination

Seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) is the most energy-efficient process for desalination to produce drinking water from seawater. However, its sustainability is still challenged by membrane fouling. Appropriate feed water quality is one of the crucial prerequisites for SWRO operation. In the current st...
