“…An emerging trend is to exploit the electrochemical potential of the brines to produce renewable blue energy (Salinity Gradient Power) via Reverse Electrodialysis (RED), an electromembrane-based process that harvests the Gibbs free energy of mixing of solutions with different salinity; 378 feeding the hypersaline retentate from the photothermal SGMD unit to a RED stack enabled the recovery of 10% of the energy not used for water evaporation, thus improving the overall efficiency of the integrated system. 280…”

“…As MD results in the production of highly concentrated saline feed, this process can be used to produce a high salinity gradient for power generation using RED. Recently, Avci et al [114] demonstrated a solar MD-RED hybrid process for the light-heat-energy conversion (Figure 18). They used a photothermal (Ag nanoparticle-incorporated PVDF) membrane which was able to generate heat by ultraviolet irradiation.…”

Membrane distillation (MD) is a developing membrane separation technology for water treatment that involves a vapor transport driven by the vapor pressure gradient across the hydrophobic membrane. MD has gained wide attention in the last decade for various separation applications, including the separation of salts, toxic heavy metals, oil, and organic compounds from aqueous solutions. Compared with other conventional separation technologies such as reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, or thermal distillation, MD is very attractive due to mild operating conditions such as low temperature and atmospheric pressure, and 100% theoretical salt rejection. In this review, membrane distillation’s principles, recent MD configurations with their advantages and limitations, membrane materials, fabrication of membranes, and their surface engineering for enhanced hydrophobicity are reviewed. Moreover, different types of membrane fouling and their control methods are discussed. The various applications of standalone MD and hybrid MD configurations reported in the literature are detailed. Furthermore, studies on the MD-based pilot plants installed around the world are covered. The review also highlights challenges in MD performance and future directions.

“…Consiste en pasar una corriente salina caliente y una corriente de agua fría desalinizada separadas por una membrana porosa y aprovechar la diferencia en las presiones de vapor para lograr que las moléculas de vapor de agua pasen de la corriente de agua salada hacia el lado del agua pura [51,52,53,54,55,56]. La membrana es de naturaleza hidrofóbica y debido al tamaño de los poros, ni el agua líquida ni las sales pueden atravesarla.…”

El agua de mar desalinizada ha llegado a ser una fuente importante de abastecimiento para grupos poblacionales en todo el mundo debido a la creciente escasez de agua para consumo humano. Muchos factores han aportado en ello, la abundante disponibilidad de agua de mar y salobre, la diversidad de métodos desarrollados, sus continuas mejoras y la paulatina reducción de costos. Los principales métodos usados son la ósmosis inversa, la evaporación instantánea multi etapa y la destilación multi efecto, los cuales han mejorado su eficiencia debido tanto a la experiencia con las plantas desalinizadoras como a las investigaciones y desarrollos teóricos recientes. En este documento se presenta una revisión de los métodos de desalinización, tanto de aquellos que se vienen empleando desde hace tiempo, como de nuevos métodos reportados, así como algunas consideraciones respecto a la energía empleada y los costos del agua desalinizada obtenida.
