The last decade has seen a worldwide increase in the use of alternative energy sources, especially renewable (RE), including its application desalination. In past many experimental and pilot investigations were presented which allowed costs effectiveness such integrated solutions to be estimated. present review describes experience related solar thermal technologies (solar collector concentrated power technologies), electricity (photovoltaic concentrator photovoltaics), wind, hydroelectric...
Today (year 2020), the globally recognized problem of arsenic (As) contamination water resources and other environments at toxic levels has been reported in all 20 Latin American countries. The present review indicates that As is prevalent 200 areas across these Arsenic naturally released into environment mobilized from geogenic sources comprising: (i) volcanic rocks emissions, latter being transported over thousands kilometers source, (ii) metallic mineral deposits, which get exposed to...
The agricultural sector, which is highly dependent on water, urged to build improved water management practices and explore available options match supply demand because of the scarcity risks a sustainable productive agri-food chain. Geothermal an energy source used generate electricity and/or heat. After harnessing its energy, remaining can be as for irrigation following treatment high ionic content. fields are mostly located in rural areas where activities exist. This would good decrease...
Arsenic (As) is one of the most prolific natural contaminants in water resources, and hence, it has been recognized as an emerging global problem. exposure through food exports imports, such As-contaminated rice cereal-based baby food, a potential risk worldwide. However, ensuring As-safe drinking for globe still not stated explicitly right neither United Nations' Universal Declaration Human Rights 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) nor UNESCO priorities. Despite these omissions,...
Lead, similar to other heavy metals and abiotic factors, causes many unfavorable changes at the subcellular molecular levels in plant cells. An increased level of superoxide anion Pisum sativum root cells treated with 1 mM Pb(NO3)2 evidenced oxidative stress conditions. We found activities enzymatic components antioxidative system (catalase dismutase) cytosol, mitochondrial peroxisomal fractions isolated from grown modified Hoagland medium presence lead ions (0.5 or mM). Two isoenzyme forms...
Waters located at greater depths usually exhibit high mineral content, which necessitates the use of closed systems, i.e. re-injecting them into formation after recovering heat. This significantly reduces investment efficiency owing to need drill absorption wells and perform anti-corrosion anti-clogging procedures. In this paper, possibilities for efficient utilisation cooled geothermal waters are considered, particularly with respect open or mixed water installations. Where desalination...
The housing sector, especially with respect to energy generation provide heating and domestic hot water, has been identified, after transport, as contributing the most air pollution occurrence of low emissions in Poland. In particular, this applies areas where there is a lack gas networks. This paper presents results calculations relating emission atmospheric pollutants (TSP—total suspended particles particulate matter PM10 PM2.5, SOx—sulphur dioxide, NOx—nitrogen CO—carbon monoxide) from...
The aim of the study was to compare two reference methods for determination boron in water samples and further assess impact method preparation analysis on results obtained. Samples were collected during different desalination processes, ultrafiltration double reverse osmosis system, connected series. From each point, prepared four ways: first filtered (through a membrane filter 0.45 μm) acidified (using 1 mL ultrapure nitric acid 100 samples) (FA), second unfiltered not (UFNA), third but...
The article presents an assessment of the potential for using low temperature geothermal water from C-PIG-1 well (Małopolskie Voivodship, southern Poland) electricity generation, as first stage in a cascade system. is characterised by 82 °C and maximum flow rate 51.22 kg/s. Geothermal currently only utilised recreation purposes swimming pools. In such locations, with to use renewable energy energetic purposes, possibility comprehensive management waters extracted should be considered both...
The integration of renewable energy generation with water treatment techniques, based on geothermal and resources, represents a new interesting research direction. This paper presents model study aimed at evaluating the twofold utilisation potential: as an resource necessary for desalination process source wastewater used in process. key objective this work is to critically evaluate feasibility integrating electricity technological processes membrane techniques solely basis potential...
