METHOD FOR INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY OF BORON REJECTION BY INVERSE-OSMOSIS DESALINATION SYSTEMS, WHICH IS MODIFIED TO ALLOW THE ADDITION AND MIXING OF A WATER-SOLUBLE POLYHYDROXYLATED COMPOUND

摘要

A method for increasing boron rejection by reverse-osmosis water-desalination systems, which comprises modifying the desalination system such that it allows the addition and mixing of a water-soluble polyhydroxylated compound which will undergo desalination prior to the water passing through the reverse-osmosis membranes. Said method makes it possible significantly to enhance boron rejection by reverse-osmosis membranes.
