Hypersaline brines are of growing environmental concern. While high-salinity desalination
and zero liquid discharge (ZLD) are increasingly attractive treatment options, the high salt …

Membrane distillation (MD) is an emerging technology for the desalination of brines. In some
cases, liquid penetrates into the pores of the membrane, causing pore wetting. MD's …

Membrane distillation (MD) is a thermally-driven membrane-based separation technique,
which has shown great potential of use for molecular separation in different processes like …

Membrane Distillation (MD) is a thermally-driven separation process, in which only vapour
molecules transfer through a microporous hydrophobic membrane. The driving force in the …

Fouling and wetting of membranes are significant concerns that can impede the widespread
application of the membrane distillation (MD) process during high-salinity wastewater …

The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the vacuum membrane distillation
(VMD) process in regard to its advantages, disadvantages and miscellaneous …

This study presents a comprehensive analytical framework to design efficient single-stage
membrane distillation (MD) systems for the desalination of feed streams up to high salinity …

Seawater desalination by Reverse Osmosis (RO) is an interesting solution for drinking water
production. However, because of limitation by the osmotic pressure, a high recovery factor is …

This paper presents the energy evaluation of the cross-flow vacuum membrane distillation
(VMD) for three types of lab-fabricated polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes and the …

Membrane distillation (MD) is a promising alternative thermal-based membrane process that
can achieve high-quality freshwater across various impaired water sources. However, the …
