Improving Nanofiber Membrane Characteristics and Membrane Distillation Performance of Heat-Pressed Membranes via Annealing Post-Treatment
Electrospun membranes are gaining interest for use in membrane distillation (MD) due to their high porosity and interconnected pore structure; however, they are still susceptible to wetting during MD operation because of their relatively low liquid entry pressure (LEP). In this study, post-treatment had been applied to improve the LEP, as well as its permeation and salt rejection efficiency. Th...
متن کاملExperimental study of desalination using direct contact membrane distillation: a new approach to flux enhancement
New membrane distillation configurations and a new membrane module were investigated to improve water desalination. The performances of three hydrophobic microporous membranes were evaluated under vacuum enhanced direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) with a turbulent flow regime and with a feed water temperature of only 40 ◦C. The new configurations provide reduced temperature polarizatio...
متن کاملSimplified flux prediction in direct-contact membrane distillation using a membrane structural parameter
• Membrane structural parameters were evaluated for use in predicting water flux. • Membrane constant containing non-coupled membrane properties was introduced. • Membrane constant requires simple measurements and inexpensive analytical equipment. • Membrane constant correlates well with experimental water flux. • Comprehensive collection of MD membrane properties and water fluxes made availabl...
متن کاملNanofiber based triple layer hydro-philic/-phobic membrane - a solution for pore wetting in membrane distillation
The innovative design and synthesis of nanofiber based hydro-philic/phobic membranes with a thin hydro-phobic nanofiber layer on the top and a thin hydrophilic nanofiber layer on the bottom of the conventional casted micro-porous layer which opens up a solution for membrane pore wetting and improves the pure water flux in membrane distillation.
متن کاملDegradation of Polypropylene Membranes Applied in Membrane Distillation Crystallizer
The studies on the resistance to degradation of capillary polypropylene membranes assembled in a membrane crystallizer were performed. The supersaturation state of salt was achieved by evaporation of water from the NaCl saturated solutions using membrane distillation process. A high feed temperature (363 K) was used in order to enhance the degradation effects and to shorten the test times. Salt...
