Hydrophobic silica sand ceramic hollow fiber membrane for desalination via direct contact membrane distillation

A porous hollow fibre ceramic membrane derived from a low-cost natural material (silica sand) and fabricated by combine phase inversion and sintering technique followed by fluoroalkylsilane (FAS17) grafting to improve its hydrophobicity is reported in this study. Prior to the subjection of the silic...
