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) 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 …

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 …

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 …

Membrane distillation has shown great promises in desalinating various water streams.
Significant progresses have been made in the past decades owing to the development of …

Water is a critical component for humans to survive, especially in arid lands or areas where
fresh water is scarce. Hence, desalination is an excellent way to effectuate the increasing …

Membrane distillation (MD) is an emerging membrane separation technology with great
potential for desalination, wastewater treatment and volatile resource recovery. It becomes …

The membrane distillation (MD) process has been identified as one of the most promising
technologies in seawater desalination and wastewater treatment due to its lack of a salinity …

Membrane wetting and fouling substantially limits application and deployment of membrane
distillation process. Designing high-performance superhydrophobic membranes offers an …

Membranes with robust antiwetting and antifouling properties are highly desirable for
membrane distillation (MD) of wastewater. Herein, we have proposed and demonstrated a …
