It is a large-scale renewable resource that can be harvested and converted to electricity. Efficient extraction of this energy is not straightforward, however. \u003ci\u003eSustainable Energy from Salinity Gradients\u003c\/i\u003e provides a comprehensive review of resources, technologies and applications in this area of fast-growing interest.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Key technologies covered include pressure retarded osmosis, reverse electrodialysis and accumulator mixing. Environmental and economic aspects are also considered, together with the possible synergies between desalination and salinity gradient energy technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eSustainable Energy from Salinity Gradients\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential text for R\u0026amp;D professionals in the energy \u0026amp; water industry interested in salinity gradient power and researchers in academia from post-graduate level upwards.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor more than ten years the Editors have been sharing substantial research activities in the fields of renewable energy and desalination, successfully participating to a number of European Union research projects and contributing to the relevant scientific literature with more than 100 papers and 2 books on Desalination technologies and their coupling with Renewable Energy. They are intensely working in the field of Salinity Gradient Power, carrying out research with specific focus o.n open-loop and closed-loop reverse electrodialysis and pressure retarded osmosis. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea Cipollina\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0081003129\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780081003121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Woodhead Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/08\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Andrea Cipollina","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013698531583,"sku":"9780081003121","price":215.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dbc45e33-0c6b-4729-a100-ad2a7a32e620.jpg?v=1767744213","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sustainable-energy-from-salinity-gradients-andrea-cipollina-9780081003121","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
