Membrane Distillation Treating a Petrochemical Reverse Osmosis Concentrate
(Corresponding) Venzke C., Giacobbo A., Rodrigues M., Bernardes A.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
This study investigated the applicability of Direct Contact Membrane Distillation (DCMD) process for the treatment of a petrochemical industry effluent, intending to recover water from the concentrate produced by reverse osmosis (RO). In DCMD, the experiments were accomplished with a feed and...Read more
Novel super-hydrophobic carbon nanotube-based nanomaterial for membrane distillation
Ouda M., Wadi V., Hai A., Naddeo V., Banat F., (Corresponding) Hasan S.
Topic:
Desalination
Membrane distillation (MD) is a low-grade heat-based emerging technology found viable for seawater desalination. Membrane properties such as high hydrophobicity, mechanical strength, and thermal stability are crucial in assessing the compatibility of a membrane for use in this application. In this...Read more

SUPERHYDROPHOBIC NANOPARTICLE-COATED PVDF-HFP MEMBRANES FOR INCREASED FLUX AND FOULING RESISTANCE MEMBRANE DISTILLATION
(Corresponding) TOURNIS I., TSIOURVAS D., SIDERATOU Z., SAPALIDIS A.
Topic:
Desalination
Water is one of the most precious natural resources of the planet. Global water demand is expected to increase by 20-30% in near future, mainly due to the increase of industrial activities and domestic use. In this context, up to now, many water treatment technologies have been proposed to address...Read more
Recent Developments in Solar-Powered Membrane Distillation
Jawed A., Nassar L., Hegab H., Merwe R., AlMarzooqi F., Banat F., (Corresponding) Hasan S.
Topic:
Desalination
Freshwater scarcity remains one of the most crucial issues facing our world. Although the traditional membrane distillation (MD) technique can efficiently produce clean water irrespective of climate conditions, the process wastes a lot of energy. Thanks to the development of photo-thermal materials...Read more
