Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The main objective of this Special Issue is to bring together research on membrane processes applied to seawater. The first application obviously concerns the desalination of seawater intended for drinking water purposes, but this Special Issue aims to include broader seawater purification applications such as the cultivation of marine microalgae, the extraction of compounds of interest from seawater or the protection of the marine environment. The removal of micro- and nanoplastics, algal blooms, viruses, pathogens and emerging pollutants such as PFAS using membrane processes are also covered topics. Naturally, subjects ranging from the study of membrane fouling to the development of industrial units in these conditions of high salt concentration will also be considered.
