Energy saving technologies of advanced membranes for water desalination

Abstract

Actuation of fluid flow in nanochannels by surface and volume acoustic wave (SAW, VAW) propagation were studied. Increase of infiltration rate of fluid flow through porous media, fabrication of Labs-on-a-Chip (LOC), fast analysis of environmental pollution in field conditions using micro- or even nanoscopic amount of samples, in pumping gases and liquids through the channels with diameters as small as 1-10 nm and 1-10 цш were addressed.
