Membrane distillation : module design and modeling by Yang, Xing

“…This thesis provides a comprehensive review on the state-of-the-art of MD technology with focuses on some areas that need to be further investigated or strengthened, such as novel membranes and improved membrane module design with the aid of mathematical modeling, which may offer strategies to address the challenges.A preliminary study of the performance improvement of the hollow fiber-based direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) system has been conducted. The original hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber and two modified membranes (unmodified, plasma modified and chemically modified) were used and compared. …”
