Submerged membrane distillation (S-MD) has been proposed as an alternative to conventional cross-flow MD systems desalinate hypersaline water. In S-MD systems, the hydrophobic is submerged in feed water tank that directly heated by electric heating element, eliminating need for pumping. this study, a solar-heated vacuum (S-VMD) system uses evacuated tube collector container proposed. Indoor tes...

The abundant resource of low-temperature heat sources (≈80–120 °C), e.g., low-concentration solar collectors or shallow geothermal wells, hold huge potential to be a renewable energy supply. A proposed method for harnessing such low-grade is use the distill solution and then utilize produced concentration difference generate work, by means salinity gradient power (SGP) technologies. In this app...

Abstract This research aims to attain the optimal method of removing high salinity concentrations without its effect on balance or accuracy stable isotopes measurement deuterium and oxygen-18 (δ 18 O, δ 2 H). Four treatment methods (i.e., distillation, vacuum electro dialysis ion exchange) were applied for nine samples, which obtained from different water sources (sea, groundwater, river).l Wor...

• 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...
