The Effect of Membrane Surface Hydrophobicity on the Performance and Water Production Cost of a Desalination Unit

Membrane pore wetting remains a significant challenge to achieving the stable operation and commercialization of membrane distillation processes. This study quantitatively assessed membrane surface hydrophobicity to investigate its impact on the performance and water production cost of an MD system....
