Resource-efficient pre-treatment with partial desalination approach using graphene-MXene coated cellulose filters for desalination plants

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: FESEM with EDS to assess morphology and elemental composition. Among GO and MXene, GO-coated filters performed better, achieving a satisfactory pretreatment and a 17.7% reduction in salinity without any external energy input. The salt rejection is mainly attributed to adsorption and electrostatic interactions between the coated materials and dissolved ions in seawater.
