Freshwater scarcity is a vital societal challenge related to climate change, population
pressure, and agricultural and industrial demands. Therefore, sustainable desalination …

Membrane distillation (MD) is an emerging technology for the desalination of brines. In some
cases, liquid penetrates into the pores of the membrane, causing pore wetting. MD's …

Membrane technology, as one of the key standard technologies for green chemistry and
sustainable development, has been applied for a wide range of separation and purification …

Membrane distillation (MD) is a rapidly emerging water treatment technology; however,
membrane pore wetting is a primary barrier to widespread industrial use of MD. The primary …

Hydrophobic membranes used in membrane distillation (MD) systems are often subject to
wetting during long-term operation. Thus, it is of great importance to fully understand factors …

Membrane distillation (MD) is an alternative membrane technology that offers the capacity to
treat highly saline water including industrial wastewater, seawater, brine water from other …

In this paper, the current and most recent applications of direct contact membrane distillation
(DCMD) are discussed. Apart from its rapidly increasing use for the desalination of highly …

Membrane distillation (MD) is an emerging membrane separation technology with great
potential for desalination, wastewater treatment and volatile resource recovery. It becomes …

The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the vacuum membrane distillation
(VMD) process in regard to its advantages, disadvantages and miscellaneous …

Proper material selection has been one of the most important aspects in the design of
chemical process equipment. In particular, the oil and gas industry has transitioned from …
