Membrane Distillation for Water Recovery and Its Fouling Phenomena
The total volume of water on Earth is circa 300 million cubic miles, with close to 98.0% being salt water and the remaining 2.0% fresh water. It has been increasingly more challenging to harvest fresh water from surface water, seawater and even from wastewater due to the combination of factors, viz. burgeoning population growth, rapid industrialization and climate change. Recently, membrane dis...
متن کاملNanoparticle Separation Using Direct Contact Membrane Distillation and Its Fouling Study
Direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) which emerges as an alternative separation technology can effectively perform a colloidal separation process under thermal driven force. DCMD is capable of extracting pure water from aqueous solutions containing non-volatile nanoparticles through the hydrophobic microporous membrane when a vapour pressure difference was established across the membrane...

متن کاملFactors contributing to flux improvement in vacuum-enhanced direct contact membrane distillation
• VEDCMD has higher water flux than DCMD and PEDCMD. • Higher flux with vacuum applied may be partially due to lower membrane compaction. • Higher flux with vacuum applied may be partially due to lower membrane air pressure. • Pressure differences due to vacuum or pressure enhancement has a minimal effect on flux. a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f o Low water flux in membrane distillation (MD...
متن کاملExperimental and Theoretical Investigations of a Novel Multi-Stage Direct Contact Membrane Distillation Module
Global climate change and variability have a negative impact on a water supply and quality in remote areas by reducing water availability and contaminant dilution. This will continue to be exacerbated by limited and inadequate water supply, insufficient water treatment and low infrastructure. Thus, an economic desalination system with a small scale and footprint for such regions is strongly dem...
