Combining air recharging and membrane superhydrophobicity for fouling prevention in membrane distillation

In previous studies of the desalination technology membrane distillation (MD), superhydrophobicity of the membrane has been shown to dramatically decrease fouling in adverse conditions, but the mechanism for this is not well understood. Additionally, air layers present on submerged solid superhydrop...
