Performance enhancement of the membrane distillation process via membrane surface modification for surfactant-containing feed water

With its many advantages, direct-contact membrane distillation (DCMD) appears to hold potential for the recovery of high quality water from different industrial effluents. Porous hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes have been extensively used in DCMD operations. However, these PVDF m...
