Enhancement of gas-liquid mass transfer in curved membrane contactors with the generation of dean vortices

Caijin Zhou et al.

Summary: This study systematically investigates the effects of Reynolds number, curved diameter, liquid viscosity, and rheology on gas-liquid mass transfer enhancement in curved hollow fiber membrane contactors characterized by Dean vortices. Gas-liquid mass transfer correlations are proposed to describe the enhancement effect of Dean vortices on gas-liquid system with different viscosities, and a trade-off relation between mass transfer intensification and energy consumption is explored. Finite element numerical simulations agree well with experimental results in evaluating the intensity of Dean vortices generated in different curved shapes in the membrane contactors.

Membrane distillation process application using a novel ceramic membrane for Brackish water desalination

Khaled Bin Bandar et al.

Summary: In this study, a ceramic membrane for membrane distillation was fabricated using Saudi red clay, tetraethyl orthosilicate, ammonia, and sodium alginate powder, showing promising results in terms of permeate flux and salt rejection in VMD tests. The membrane exhibited stable performance for 4 hours in continuous well water desalination tests, with a 16.5% decrease in flux after 10 hours which was recovered by a known cleaning procedure.

A Mini Review on Antiwetting Studies in Membrane Distillation for Textile Wastewater Treatment

Guang Yang et al.

Summary: The textile industry generates a large quantity of wastewater, hindering its development in terms of environmental sustainability. Membrane distillation (MD) is being considered as an emerging technology to treat textile wastewater for water reuse. However, membrane wetting remains a major challenge for the success and commercialization of this separation process, requiring further advancements in membrane material developments and anti-wetting properties.

Comparative assessment of the effects of 3D printed feed spacers on process performance in MD systems

Navya Thomas et al.

Summary: The study found that the channel pressure drop induced by the spacer became the most influential cost bottleneck on COW for waste heat operated MD processes, with pumping costs having a greater contribution to total operating costs in DCMD compared to AGMD. The use of TPMS spacers can reduce the COW of waste heat operated DCMD by decreasing the thermal energy component, as flux improvement achieved by TPMS spacers reduces the operating cost.
