Wetting prevention in membrane distillation through superhydrophobicity and recharging an air layer on the membrane surface
Although membrane distillation offers distinctive benefits in some certain areas, i.e., RO concentrate treatment, concentrating solutions in the food industry and solar heat utilization, the occurrence of wetting of the hydrophobic membrane hinders its potential industrial applications. Therefore, w...
