Brackish water desalination for greenhouses: Improving groundwater quality for irrigation using monovalent selective electrodialysis reversal

Reverse osmosis (RO) is the most widely used desalination technology for treating brackish water prior to irrigation. RO, however, removes both monovalent ions (Na+,Cl−) detrimental to crops and divalent ions (Ca2+,Mg2+,SO42−) that are beneficial. These beneficial ions must then be reintroduced to t...
