A novel ultrasonic assisted direct contact membrane distillation hybrid process was designed and the effect of ultrasonic irradiation on membrane scaling mitigation during membrane distillation process was investigated.
Vacuum membrane distillation, like any membrane distillation process, is a thermally driven process in which the convective mass transfer is the dominant mechanism for mass transfer.
In this paper, desorption of aqueous lithium bromide solution by vacuum membrane distillation process was presented.
The effect of solution concentration and thermal polarization on membrane distillation performance has been explored quantitatively.
Nevertheless, the value of performance simulation to membrane distillation design and operation is well illustrated.
Air-bubbling vacuum membrane distillation (AVMD) process was designed to boost the heat and mass transfer in membrane distillation (MD).
The advantages and limitations of key fabrication and module-design techniques are examined, before three of the most innovative membrane contactor operations – membrane distillation (MD), osmotic membrane distillation and crystallisation – are investigated in depth.
This unique feature of CMS materials enables advanced hybrid membrane-distillation process designs.
Highly constrained by the requirements of high porosity and large pore sizes, traditional single-bore hollow fiber membranes often suffer from easy breakage and performance instability during long-term operations of membrane distillation (MD).
In the simulation software AspenPlus© no unit operation for a membrane distillation step is available.
