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 …

Porous polymeric membranes have emerged as the core technology in the field of
separation. But some challenges remain for several methods used for membrane …

To date, remarkable success has been achieved in the fabrication and industrialization of
poly (vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) membranes both in lab-scale and full-scale via thermally …

Membrane distillation (MD) is an emerging thermally-driven technology that poses a lot of

Membrane distillation (MD) is a separation process based on the vapor transport across the
hydrophobic microporous membrane driven by the vapor pressure gradient across the …

Water scarcity is a grand challenge that requires continuous exploration of new desalination
technologies in order to augment the global supply of fresh water. In this context, membrane …

A superhydrophobic-superoleophilic PVDF membrane is fabricated via an inert solvent-
induced phase inversion for effective separation of both micrometer and nanometer-sized …

Membrane Distillation (MD) is a thermally-driven separation process, in which only vapour
molecules transfer through a microporous hydrophobic membrane. The driving force in the …

This article provides a comprehensive overview of recent progress on the production and
modification of poly (vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) membranes for liquid–liquid or liquid–solid …

Fouling and wetting of membranes are significant concerns that can impede the widespread
application of the membrane distillation (MD) process during high-salinity wastewater …
