Membrane distillation (MD) for water treatment is significantly impaired by the scaling of dissolved minerals. The type and content minerals generally measured as total solids (TDS) in hypersaline brines not only reduce MD flux but also control behavior on membrane surface. scaling-induced pore blockage further reduces eventually leads to wetting. problem even more pronounced produced (PW) it c...

Membrane distillation (MD) is a promising hybrid thermal-membrane separation technology that can efficiently produce freshwater from seawater or contaminated wastewater. However, the relatively low flux and presence of fouling wetting agents in feed solution negate applicability MD for long term operation. In recent years, 'two-faced' membranes Janus have shown potential to decrease problem com...

Abstract Membrane distillation (MD) is a desalination technique that uses membrane to thermally separate potable water from sea or brackish water. The mass transport processes through the are commonly described by dusty gas model. These modeled assuming uniform, ideally cylindrical capillaries and adjusted for geometry including porosity tortuosity. tortuosity usually set 2 used as an adjusting...

Membrane distillation is an emerging technology which has been used to produce freshwater and purify different types of aqueous mixtures. Qatar is an arid country where almost 100% of its freshwater demand is supplied through the energy-intensive thermal desalination process. The country’s need for water has reached an all-time high which stipulates finding an alternative way to augment freshwa...

Aiming to analyze the practicality of distilling water on Mars, this research article studied vacuum membrane distillation and its ability be utilized Mars. Areas study includes estimating needs analyzing existing bodies examination technology, more. It was concluded that is a technology possible Mars could potentially distill enough support Martian mission.
