dire need for freshwater are among the biggest global challenges. The desire to meet these
challenges has given rise to the motivation of proposing a direct contact membrane
distillation (DCMD) technology integrated with the CO 2 capture unit to mitigate CO 2 and
simultaneously produce freshwater. The CO 2 capture unit has been modeled with Aspen
Plus® V. 10 and for the DCMD system, MATLAB software was adopted. MATLAB software …
