Abstract
Membrane distillation (MD) is an emerging water treatment technology that employs a microporous hydrophobic membrane as a physical barrier against liquid feed and utilizes the transmembrane vapor pressure difference as the driving force to propel volatile components transport across the membrane. MD has a great potential in various industrial applications such as desalination, food industry, drug purification, and separation of azeotropic mixtures. Although it has a bright future, the large-scale industrialization of MD is restricted by serious membrane wetting issues. This review illustrates the membrane wetting types, summarizes several wetting detections, discusses the causes of membrane wetting and eventually highlights the development of membrane synthesis for improved anti-wettability.
期刊介绍：
Desalination is a scholarly journal that focuses on the field of desalination materials, processes, and associated technologies. It encompasses a wide range of disciplines and aims to publish exceptional papers in this area.
The journal invites submissions that explicitly revolve around water desalting and its applications to various sources such as seawater, groundwater, and wastewater. It particularly encourages research on diverse desalination methods including thermal, membrane, sorption, and hybrid processes.
By providing a platform for innovative studies, Desalination aims to advance the understanding and development of desalination technologies, promoting sustainable solutions for water scarcity challenges.
