New Paper in Journal of Membrane Science. Working together with @TheElimelechLab, we contributed to understanding monovalent/divalent ion selectivity in #electrodialysis. authors.elsevier.com/c/1kUWA…

Two interesting findings: (1) Current density affects selectivity beyond concentration polarization. (2) CP layers are not as sharp as thought before.

1 year passed. We are stillin pain
⚠️ Trigger Warning ⚠️ Watch if you dare. The full story of October 7th, as was filmed by Hamas-ISIS terrorists along with the Palestinian mob that helped them. A lot of attempts to deny and distort history are taking place, we will not let it happen. The truth will win. Please share. @BrightmindC

Our new @Chem_Eng_J paper is online. It continues our work on nitrogen recovery from pharmaceutical wastewater. This time we integrated additional separation technology facilitating desalination and chemicals recycling. Free to read for 50 days: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jbVg…

New paper in @DesalinationJ , We modified cation exchange membranes to make them monovalent ion-selective, unlocking more sustainable brackish water #desalination. We focused on synthesis practicality and membrane stability. Free to read for 50 days: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

I looking forward for fruitful discussions on water technology with our Israeli colleagues
Happy to take part of the 50th anniversary of the German-Israli cooperation in water technology with @CV_Vogel1 , @NirWaterLab , @benyoav

She's finally home
245 days. It has been 245 days since Noa hugged her father and her mother who is terminally ill. It has been 245 days since she was dancing with her friends at the Nova festival. For 245 days, Noa was held captive by Hamas terrorists who only seek to cause pain and suffering. Today, Hamas’ torment of Noa came to an end as she was reunited with her loved ones.

עזרו לנו להציל את מכון וולקני ואת המחקר החקלאי בישראל. מחקרים של שנים וידע שנצבר עלולים להיעלם. הקשרים של ישראל עם העולם החקלאי ימחקו, ולא יהיה שום משמעות לעמל שהשקענו במחקר. שתפו את הפוסט והצטרפו למאבק 💪

So many applications were suggested for membranes that reject divalent ions but let monovalent ions pass, but what about the opposite? In this new study with @TheElimelechLab we show that divalent-selective electrodialysis can be useful.
Everyone talks about monovalent-selective ion exchange membranes, but this new study explores the practical potential of divalent-selective electrodialysis in brackish water desalination. Read more in ES&T Letters: go.acs.org/7Db @NirWaterLab @TheElimelechLab

Conventional cation exchange membranes are inherently divalent-selective, but only at a low current density. Cheaper or more selective membranes can unlock the potential of divalent selectivity, enabling interesting ion-separation applications and creative process design.

1/ On October 7, Hezbollah initiated a war against Israel. There is no Israeli 'occupation' of Lebanon, as Israel completely withdrew in 2000. Hezbollah's attack, which predates any criticism of Israel's aerial assaults in Gaza, appears to be a coordinated effort with Hamas,
