Emerging technologies present many new possibilities for diversifying the desalination
industry, which is currently dominated by thermal desalination, and reverse osmosis. In this …

The development of facile, benign and energy-efficient water treatment technologies to
produce clean water presents a major societal challenge. Membrane-based separation …

Membrane distillation (MD) has been garnering increasing attention in research and
development, since it has been proposed as a promising technology for desalinating …

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 …

The desalination of seawater is perceived as one of the most viable processes to fulfill the
mounting demand for freshwater. Despite enormous economic, social, and health benefits …

The saline wastewater from various sources including agriculture and industrial activities,
appears to have high salt concentration, organic content and other pollutants which can …

Membrane distillation (MD) is an emerging thermal-based membrane technology that has
the capacity to treat a wide range of feed waters, including high salinity brines and …

Water and energy are critical components for human, and govern the growth and progress of
societies. Desalination is an important process to meet ever-increasing water demand …

Hydrophobic membranes used in membrane distillation (MD) systems are often subject to
wetting during long-term operation. Thus, it is of great importance to fully understand factors …

The limited clean water resource has urged the need to extract fresh water from non-
conventional sources. Produced water (PW) is a potential source of fresh water, particularly …
