Review of membrane distillation process for water purification

Abstract: A B S T R A C TMembrane distillation (MD) is a non-isothermal separation process driven on the vapor pressure difference, induced by the temperature difference across the hydrophobic membrane. This paper offers the review of the potentability of MD process for purification application and water desalination. It covers the basic fundamental of MD process, MD modules, membrane materials, heat and mass transfer phenomena, operating parameters, and performance of MD process. It also covers the review of MD process… Show more

“…The water vapour transport and condensed to the shell side due to vapour pressure differenece. Liquid water is then recovered as the permeate and the energy is recovered as latent heat of the condensing vapor in the shell side [ 28 ]. The mechanism of water and heat recovery is similar to the one in membrane distillation (MD) [ 29 , 30 , 31 ].…”
