Ternary hierarchical structure based solar-driven evaporator for long-lasting concentrated brine treatment

Wen He et al.

Summary: Solar-driven evaporation is a promising desalination method, but the salt generated in the process hinders its efficiency. To address this issue, researchers developed a ternary hierarchical structure based evaporator that reduces salt coverage on the material surface and allows for long-lasting brine treatment.

Effect of hollow fiber membrane properties and operating conditions on preventing scale precipitation in seawater desalination with vacuum membrane distillation

Yuki Suga et al.

Summary: Membrane distillation (MD) is an attractive seawater desalination technology for treating high osmotic pressure feed solutions. However, scale precipitation poses a significant challenge for MD seawater desalination. This study investigates the impact of various Reynolds numbers of the feed stream on scaling and finds that a Reynolds number above 1200 can reduce scale precipitation and increase vapor flux. Additionally, membranes with larger inner diameters can also reduce scale precipitation and pressure drop.
