Performance evaluation of boron removal from wastewater containing high boron content according to operating parameters by air gap membrane distillation

Bahriye Eryildiz et al.

Summary: This study investigated the removal performance of boron from real wastewater using an air gap membrane distillation system, considering the impact of boron concentration, membrane pore size, and membrane material. The results showed that boron removal efficiency was above 99% in all conditions, with decreased permeate water flux as boron concentration in feed wastewater increased. Increasing membrane pore size enhanced permeate flux, with polypropylene membranes exhibiting the highest flux in AGMD tests.

Binding mechanisms of PVDF in lithium ion batteries

Xuehu Zhong et al.

Summary: The study investigates the binding mechanism of PVDF in lithium ion batteries by simulation calculation and theoretical analysis. The results show different binding interactions between PVDF and LiFePO4 and between PVDF and Li(Ni1-x-yCoxMny)O2, providing insights for the development of new binders and the peeling of active materials in LIBs. Scanning electron microscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy analyses reveal the distribution of PVDF on the surfaces of active materials in LFP batteries and between Al and NCM in NCM batteries, with no chemical interaction detected among the surfaces of active materials, PVDF, and Al in both types of batteries.

A co-casting route enables the formation of skinless, hydrophobic poly (vinylidene fluoride) membranes for DCMD

Miaomiao Tian et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that by co-casting to reduce the solvent/nonsolvent exchange rate at the same time, PVDF membranes with uniformly rough surface structures can be effectively fabricated, facilitating the membrane distillation process. The PVDF concentration significantly affects membrane morphology, with increasing PVDF content leading to different phase inversion mechanisms.

Performance and energy evaluation of compact multistage air gap membrane distillation system: An experimental investigation

Suhaib M. Alawad et al.

Summary: The new design of a compact multistage air gap membrane distillation system shows potential for scaling up and commercialization. By studying the impacts of operating variables on system performance and production cost, it is found that increasing feed temperature and flow rates can improve permeate flux and output ratio, while increasing coolant temperature can decrease these parameters. The compact system strikes a balance between energy efficiency and productivity, with parallel flow arrangement slightly better in productivity and series flow arrangement better in energy efficiency.
