Abstract:To date, the membrane development for membrane distillation (MD) application is growing in line with the increasing volume of various types of wastewaters discharged into environment. MD is a liquid-vapor separation process and a hydrophobic membrane is used to retain the liquid. Theoretically, the hydrophobic membrane can achieve 100% rejection of non-volatile components that dissolved in feed liquids. As a result, MD has received significant attention in water recovery from saline water as well as wastewater… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
