Freshwater shortage has remained an emerging issue due to increasing potable water
demand of global population and ongoing industrial developments. Great efforts have been …

Calcium sulfate (CaSO 4) scaling is a limiting factor in membrane distillation as a result of
concentration polarization and elevated temperatures. We assessed the influence of radio …

Water shortage occurs worldwide due to a lack of clean potable water supply and inland
freshwater resources. Desalination via osmosis and distillation are energy intensive and …

As a promising thermally driven separation process, membrane distillation (MD) is capable
of treating challenging wastewaters. However, the traditional hydrophobic membranes are …

Enhanced ammonia separation via direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) using
carbon nanotube immobilized membranes (CNIMs) is presented. The CNIMs were prepared …

There have been tremendous advances in membrane distillation (MD) since the concept
