Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Oxygen
  • Polymer

His primary scientific interests are in Membrane, Chemical engineering, Forward osmosis, Fouling and Reverse osmosis. Menachem Elimelech interconnects Water treatment and Chromatography in the investigation of issues within Membrane. He combines subjects such as Wastewater, Water scarcity and Environmental chemistry with his study of Water treatment.

His Wastewater research focuses on subjects like Water supply, which are linked to Brackish water, Environmental protection and Sanitation. His Chemical engineering research includes elements of Nanotechnology, Organic chemistry, Adsorption and Thin-film composite membrane. His Forward osmosis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Concentration polarization, Environmental engineering, Desalination, Osmotic pressure and Osmosis.

His most cited work include:

  • Science and technology for water purification in the coming decades (4918 citations)
  • Science and technology for water purification in the coming decades (4918 citations)
  • The Future of Seawater Desalination: Energy, Technology, and the Environment (3000 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Menachem Elimelech spends much of his time researching Membrane, Chemical engineering, Forward osmosis, Reverse osmosis and Desalination. Membrane is represented through his Fouling, Nanofiltration, Thin-film composite membrane, Biofouling and Membrane technology research. His study looks at the relationship between Chemical engineering and fields such as Chromatography, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His Forward osmosis study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Concentration polarization, Permeation, Osmotic pressure and Osmosis. His Desalination study incorporates themes from Energy consumption, Water treatment, Environmental engineering and Process engineering. While the research belongs to areas of Colloid, he spends his time largely on the problem of Porous medium, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Mineralogy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Membrane (44.91%)
  • Chemical engineering (39.82%)
  • Forward osmosis (17.37%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Membrane (44.91%)
  • Chemical engineering (39.82%)
  • Desalination (16.67%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of investigation include Membrane, Chemical engineering, Desalination, Reverse osmosis and Nanotechnology. His study in Membrane is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ion, Selectivity and Graphene. His Chemical engineering research includes themes of Fouling, Catalysis, Adsorption and Aqueous solution.

His Fouling study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Forward osmosis and Polymerization. The study incorporates disciplines such as Brackish water, Environmental engineering, Energy consumption, Efficient energy use and Process engineering in addition to Desalination. The concepts of his Reverse osmosis study are interwoven with issues in Capacitive deionization and Brine.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Environmental performance of graphene-based 3D macrostructures. (126 citations)
  • Comparison of energy consumption in desalination by capacitive deionization and reverse osmosis (99 citations)
  • Pathways and challenges for efficient solar-thermal desalination (86 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Oxygen
  • Polymer

His scientific interests lie mostly in Membrane, Chemical engineering, Desalination, Reverse osmosis and Nanofiltration. The various areas that Menachem Elimelech examines in his Membrane study include Molecule, Nanotechnology, Graphene and Interfacial polymerization. His Chemical engineering research incorporates elements of Surface coating, Hydroxyl radical, Adsorption, Polymer and Biofouling.

His work deals with themes such as Selectivity, Efficient energy use and Process engineering, which intersect with Desalination. The concepts of his Reverse osmosis study are interwoven with issues in Countercurrent exchange and Brine. His research investigates the link between Nanofiltration and topics such as Fouling that cross with problems in Osmosis, Forward osmosis, Concentration polarization and Nanostructure.
