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

Rapid population growth has resulted in imbalance in the supply and demand of fresh water
for human consumption. As the sources of fresh water from surface water and fresh …

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

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 …

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) was used for membrane preparation using the nonsolvent
induced phase separation (NIPS). In this paper, the effect of the polymer concentration in the …

Solar-driven membrane distillation (SDMD) is a newly developed desalination technique
with promising potential to address the global shortage of freshwater resources. However …

In this study, a superhydrophobic nanofibrous membrane was prepared on the basis of an
electrospun polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)–polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) nanofibrous …

Two kinds of polypropylene capillary membranes were used in the membrane distillation
(MD). These membranes exhibited a similar morphology, but one of them has an additional …

Membrane distillation (MD), a thermally-driven membrane separation process has been
widely studied in recent years and the membrane properties are known to have significant …

The polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) composite hydrophobic hollow fiber membranes were
fabricated for membrane distillation through non-solvent induced phase inversion by …
