DESALINATION AND WATER TREATMENT, cilt.5, ss.167-171, 2009 (SCI İndekslerine Giren Dergi)
The most widely used desalination method used in order to produce potable water from seawater is reverse osmosis (RO). In this study, desalination tests were performed at a seashore of Urla Bay, Izmir, Turkey. The tests were carried out at different pressures (55-62 bar) using a single RO module at different feed seawater temperatures (10-15 degrees C). Variables Such as pH, conductivity, TDS, salinity, turbidity, relative rejection of some ions (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, HCO3-) and B levels in permeates collected were measured.
