High Performance Membranes for Sea Water Desalination using Direct Contact Membrane Distillation
This paper discusses hydrophobic microporous flat sheet membranes made of poly tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and poly propylene (PP) were explored for desalting real Red Sea water using direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) process. This paper describes reported flux performance membrane characterization, water contact angle as well as other rel...
Theoretical and Experimental Validation of Water Gap Membrane Distillation
This paper discussed the theoretical and experimental validation of a water gap membrane distillation (WGMD) process that has been successfully tested for seawater desalination. A detailed investigation on the influence of thickness of the water gap was carried in this study. Water vapor flux enhancement in the WGMD process is been described with t...
Role of Membrane Technology in Seawater Desalination: Past, Present, and Future
This PowerPoint examines the role of membranes in Seawater desalination both past, current and future...
