“…Comparing with conventional plant (thermal treatment), this FO–NF system displayed the economic advantages of less unit operations, less equipment cost, and less material and energy consumption. Because the MD can achieve almost 100% salt rejection and be not affected by high salinity feeds, it has great potential to regenerate DS diluted from FO process (Ghaffour, Soukane, Lee, Kim, & Alpatova, 2019). The technoeconomic viability of FO–MD system had been evaluated in diary application (Aydiner et al., 2014).…”

“…The economic potential of the hybrid process is promising for replacing conventional methods. MD hybridized with bioreactors (BR) have been applied in food industry for bioethanol production by using sugarcane juice as carbon (Ghaffour et al., 2019). The conventional method of bioethanol separation concentrates ethanol–water azeotropic mixtures from 92.5% to 95.6% by distillation, which results in a lower energy efficiency (Al‐Aheh, Banat, & Al‐Lagtah, 2004).…”

As emerging membrane technologies, forward osmosis (FO) and membrane distillation (MD), which work with novel driving forces, show great potential for liquid food concentration, owing to their low fouling propensity and great driving force. In the last decades, they have attracted the attention of food industry scientists in global scope. However, discussions of the FO and MD in liquid food concentration advancement, membrane fouling, and economic assessment have been scant. This review aims to provide an up‐to‐date knowledge about liquid food concentration by FO and MD. First, we introduce the principle and applications of FO and MD in liquid food concentration, and highlight the effect of process on liquid food composition, membrane fouling mechanism, and strategies for fouling mitigation. Besides, economic assessment of FO and MD processes is reviewed. Moreover, the challenges as well as future prospects of FO and MD applied in liquid food concentration are proposed and discussed. Comparing with conventional membrane‐based or thermal‐based technologies, FO and MD show outstanding advantages in high concentration rate, good concentrate quality, low fouling propensity, and low cost. Future efforts for liquid food concentration by FO and MD include (1) development of novel FO draw solution (DS); (2) understanding the effects of liquid food complex compositions on membrane fouling in FO and MD concentration process; and (3) fabrication of novel membranes and innovation of membrane module and process configuration for liquid food processing.

“…This configuration was designed to promote thermal energy efficiency by reusing latent evaporation heat. It should be noted that FO, MD, or CDI is not standalone and always combined with other technologies (i.e., hybrid configuration) when being used in desalination [ 62 ]. For example, FO-NF, FO-RO, and FO-MD hybrid systems were designed for wastewater reuse [ 63 , 64 , 65 ].…”

In recent decades, the ever-growing demands for clean water in households and industries have urged researchers to take every possible step to deal with the global water crisis. Seawater desalination has turned out to be the most promising and efficient way to provide clean water. Owing to the advancement of synthetic chemistries and technologies, great success has been achieved in the desalination and utilization of seawater worldwide. China, with the world’s largest population, has pushed the development of desalination and multipurpose utilization of seawater further in respect of materials, technologies and services, etc. This review reports recent progress of desalination technologies accomplished in China, from the viewpoints of facilities and equipment, collaborations, technologies, applications, research abilities, services, and standard systems. Inspired by the Fourteenth Five-year Plan, it also proposes future perspectives of desalination in China.

“…Porúltimo, cabe destacar que también se necesitan enfoques de control centrados en las demás aplicaciones industriales de la tecnología MD como es el caso del tratamiento de salmueras. En este tipo de procesos, aparte de las perturbaciones clásicas del módulo MD como temperatura de entrada al canal de evaporación y temperatura de la solución de alimentación, se añade una nueva, la concentración de la solución de alimentación que va aumentando a lo largo de la operación hasta que se consiguen separar completamente las partículas volátiles y no volátiles de esta (Ghaffour et al, 2019).…”

<p class="p1">La destilación por membranas es un proceso de separación impulsado térmicamente en fase de investigación. Esta tecnología destaca principalmente por la simplicidad del proceso y su baja temperatura de operación, lo que permite que pueda ser alimentada con energía solar de media-baja temperatura. Así, la destilación por membranas se ha convertido en una solución prometedora, eficiente y sostenible para desarrollar plantas de desalación de pequeño o mediano tamaño en lugares aislados con buenas condiciones de radiación. No obstante, para que esta tecnología pueda llegar a ser implementada a escala industrial se debe seguir investigando y mejorando aspectos relacionados tanto con el diseño de las membranas y de los módulos como con la propia operación de estos. En relación con la operación, el desarrollo de modelos y técnicas de control cobran un papel fundamental. En este trabajo se presenta una revisión de las técnicas de control y modelado aplicadas en este campo, describiendo las principales metodologías empleadas y los retos futuros que quedan por abordar, incluyendo además un ejemplo ilustrativo.</p>
