Critical role of preferential adsorption of water in boron removal. To gain further insights into the role of such adsorption competition in boron removal, we study a series of model membranes based on the NPG−OH structure with a pore of 7.26 Å in diameter but with different magnitudes of atomic partial charges assigned to −OH groups.
The efficiency of boron removal by the membranes in RO processes depends on the solution's pH [5]. At a pH lower than 7, boron compounds exist mainly in an uncharged form, namely, boric acid. The fact that boric acid is neutral (uncharged) results from the relatively small size of boric acid moieties (no hydration shells) compared to the ...
Various sorbents are applied for boron removal from saline water such as modified chelating resins, activated carbons, fly ashes, and natural materials [71], [72]. Up to now, chelating resins are the most effective sorbents used to eliminate boron at low concentrations. These resins contain ligands with three or more hydroxyl groups in the …
