EFFECT OF FILTRATION AND PARTICULATE FOULING IN MEMBRANE DISTILLATION

Fouling and scaling in membrane distillation (MD) is one of the significant barriers to its continued growth. Fouling in MD blocks the pores, causing a decline in permeate flux, and may eventually lead to wetting of a hydrophobic membrane by the saline feed, contaminating the permeate. Many previous...
