Membrane distillation (MD) is an emerging thermal separation technique, using a
hydrophobic microporous membrane. Initially, the process used MF membranes with a …

In this paper, the current and most recent applications of direct contact membrane distillation
(DCMD) are discussed. Apart from its rapidly increasing use for the desalination of highly …

Membrane distillation is a process that utilizes differences in vapor pressure to permeate
water through a macro-porous membrane and reject other non-volatile constituents present …

Membrane distillation (MD) uses a microporous hydrophobic membrane to separate
dissolved molecules from a liquid stream. Notwithstanding the great potential, membrane …

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that
pose significant environmental and human health risks. The presence of PFAS in landfill …

Membrane distillation is a technique aimed at separating non-volatile components such as
salts from aqueous feed streams. Mathematical modelling of a complex process like …

Direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) supplied with waste heat was demonstrated for
water recovery from saline demineralisation regeneration waste. The pilot plant was located …

Landfill leachate is a highly polluted and complex wastewater as it contains large amounts
of organic matters, ammonia‑nitrogen, heavy metals, and per−/poly-fluoroalkyl substances …

The development of novel and energy-efficient desalination technologies has been inspired
by the global water shortage and rising fossil oil prices. The current study aimed to …
