Abstract:BackgroundMembrane distillation (MD) is considered a viable technology to overcome the issue of water scarcity by desalination of seawater. However, the application of MD has been severely restricted by membrane‐wetting phenomena. This study aims to optimize the desired mixed matrix hollow fiber (HF) membrane conditions that have anti‐wetting characteristics for efficient desalination. Response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD) was used to predict and optimize the permeate flux … Show more
