Abstract:Membrane distillation (MD) is a thermally driven membrane separation process. In recent years, MD is considered as a key technology for desalination applications. It has been proven that it has numerous advantages compared to other desalination processes such as reverse osmosis. The thermal driving force, no osmotic pressure effect on membrane fluxes are among the advantages of this MD process. Membranes fabricated from hydrophobic polymers such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) can be a great choice for MD fo… Show more
