Hypersaline brines are of growing environmental concern. While high-salinity desalination
and zero liquid discharge (ZLD) are increasingly attractive treatment options, the high salt …

Membrane distillation (MD) technology has been mainly used as a treatment method for
saline or contaminated wastewater. Despite the rapid progress in material engineering and …

Membrane distillation (MD) lags behind other desalination processes such as reverse
osmosis due to relatively high energy consumption. Heating in membrane distillation forms a …

Membrane distillation (MD) is a promising separation technology that can help reducing the
worldwide water-energy stress in a sustainable way. MD uses low-grade thermal energy to …

With more than a billion people lacking accessible drinking water, there is a critical need to
convert nonpotable sources such as seawater to water suitable for human use. However …

In this paper, a review of emerging desalination technologies is presented. Several
technologies for desalination of municipal and industrial wastewater have been proposed …

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 …

In the rapidly developing shale gas industry, managing produced water is a major challenge
for maintaining the profitability of shale gas extraction while protecting public health and the …

Desalination technologies using salt-rejecting membranes are a highly efficient tool to
provide fresh water and augment existing water supplies. In recent years, numerous studies …
