Membrane distillation (MD) utilizing low-grade thermal energy can be used to effectively
desalinate hypersaline brines with a high freshwater recovery for water reuse. Membrane …

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 …

Membrane distillation is a process that utilizes differences in vapor pressure to permeate
water through a macro-porous membrane and reject other non-volatile constituents present …

Rapid population growth has resulted in imbalance in the supply and demand of fresh water
for human consumption. As the sources of fresh water from surface water and fresh …

This paper presents an assessment of membrane distillation (MD) based on the available
state of the art and on ourpreliminary analysis. The process has many desirable properties …
