Description
This project developed new strategies to facilitate reuse of water from the coal seam gas (CSG) industry. Both chemical coagulation and electrocoagulation were examined for their ability to protect downstream reverse osmosis (RO) desalination systems from detrimental fouling and scaling. Electrocoagulation in particular was highly effective at removing dissolved silicates, alkaline earth ions and suspended solids; thus RO operation was expected to be improved. In addition the purification of resultant brine was demonstrated, thus potentially enabling the recovery of salt as a product. It was recommended to scale-up electrocoagulation testing to pilot plant.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
