Greenhouse gas emissions associated with power generation from fossil fuel combustion
account for 25% of global emissions and, thus, contribute greatly to climate change …

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 …

Membrane distillation (MD) is an emerging thermal separation technique, using a
hydrophobic microporous membrane. Initially, the process used MF membranes with a …

Membrane distillation (MD) is a separation process based on the vapor transport across the
hydrophobic microporous membrane driven by the vapor pressure gradient across the …

Water and energy have always been crucial for the world's social and economic growth.
Their supply and use must be sustainable. This review discusses opportunities for …

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 this paper, the current and most recent applications of direct contact membrane distillation
(DCMD) are discussed. Apart from its rapidly increasing use for the desalination of highly …

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 …

Membrane distillation is a process that utilizes differences in vapor pressure to permeate
water through a macro-porous membrane and reject other non-volatile constituents present …

With an ever-increasing demand in energy, constrained by strict environmental regulations,
process development faces stringent design requirements further limited by intrinsic …
