Water resources are the most important resources for all living things on the earth to grow and reproduce, and sustain agricultural, industrial, household, recreational and environmental activities. Since 97% of these water resources is a seawater, desalination is a practical choice of many water-poor countries. Currently MSF (multistage flash evaporation) and RO (reverse osmosis) that need 25 kWh and 4kWh per m3 of fresh water although thermal methods need 718kWh and pressure based-RO 1kWh.
This work focuses on how to estimate highest osmotic pressure of many aqueous saturated solutions such as NaCl and fuel ethanol that reaches 343.07 bars of 26.47%, over 5000 bars, respectively. This work shows that Lewis equation (1908) fits within 10% of OLI pressure and the modified estimation of Chang (1983) within 1% accuracy.
