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 …

Conventional water resources in many regions are insufficient to meet the water needs of
growing populations, thus reuse is gaining acceptance as a method of water supply …

Membrane distillation (MD) is a rapidly emerging water treatment technology; however,
membrane pore wetting is a primary barrier to widespread industrial use of MD. The primary …

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

In this study, we report the use of nanobubbles (NBs) as a simple and facile approach to
effectively delay scaling in membrane distillation (MD) during the treatment of highly saline …

Seawater desalination is a promising strategy that offers an abundant and reliable source of
clean fresh water. Nanotechnology, in terms of nanoparticles or electrospun nanofibrous …

Initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD) was used to coat two porous substrates
(hydrophilic cellulose acetate (CA) and hydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)) with a …

Membrane Distillation (MD) is a thermally driven membrane separation process and shows
promising water recovery from diverse wastewater sources. While reverse osmosis (RO) …
