Photothermal interfacial evaporation with low cost and environmental friendliness has
attracted much attention. However, there are still many problems with this technology, such …

Membrane distillation (MD) presents a promising alternative to conventional desalination
systems, particularly for the treatment of hypersaline wastewater. However, the large-scale …

A novel Janus membrane was fabricated by constructing a thin hydrophobic layer with
beads-on-string structure on the surface of superhydrophilic polyacrylonitrile (PAN) …

Clean water scarcity and energy shortage have become urgent global problems due to
population growth and human industrial development. Low‐grade waste heat (LGWH) is a …

The non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) method was used to prepare novel
polyphenylene oxide and polystyrene blend (PPO/PS) flat-sheet porous membranes. The …

A greater interest has been observed in polymeric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)
nanofibers, emphasizing applications in the fields of energy generation (nanogenerators) …

Membrane distillation (MD) is promising for the reclamation of reverse osmosis (RO)
concentrate ascribed to the advantages of moderate membrane fouling, space-saving and …

Abstract Poly (vinylidene difluoride)(PVDF) membranes for direct contact membrane
distillation (DCMD) are commonly modified to decrease their wettability by water. Yet, the …

Hypersaline chemical industry wastewater comprises various species with complex
characteristics, challenging the proposal treatment of such wastewater. Membrane …
