Abstract

Demonstrates the feasibility of hydrogel sorbents for implementation in adsorption processes as single-use media. Also demonstrates the performance of hydrogel sorbents in minimizing ion-exchange brine or membrane concentrate. Evaluates the feasibility of using micro-sized hydrogels as coagulants.
