Superhydrophobic-omniphobic membrane with anti-deformable pores for membrane distillation with excellent wetting resistance

Zhigao Zhu et al.

Summary: A membrane with robust wetting resistance was developed by integrating superhydrophobic-omniphobic surface and anti-deformable pores. It exhibits excellent wetting resistance when concentrating high salinity solutions and the mechanism includes chemical stabilization of the surface-bound air layer and structural stabilization through anti-deformable pores.

The effect of brine salinity and oil components on dynamic IFT behavior of oil-brine during low salinity water flooding: Diffusion coefficient, EDL establishment time, and IFT reduction rate

Hamed Farhadi et al.

Summary: The dynamic interfacial tension of crude oil/brine system was measured in a wide range of seawater salinity, revealing a trend where the IFT reduces as brine salinity increases, contrary to existing theories. A new model based on drift-diffusion theory was developed to explain this phenomenon, considering the current of oil molecules towards the oil-water interface and the resistance against this current caused by concentration gradient.

Contrasting Behaviors between Gypsum and Silica Scaling in the Presence of Antiscalants during Membrane Distillation

Yiming Yin et al.

Summary: This study compares the efficiencies of antiscalant candidates with different functional groups in mitigating gypsum scaling and silica scaling in membrane distillation desalination. Antiscalants with Ca(II)-complexing moieties are effective for inhibiting gypsum scaling, while amino-enriched antiscalants perform best in mitigating silica scaling. Microscopic and spectroscopic analyses reveal distinct mechanisms of antiscalants required for these two common types of scaling.

Insight into the feed/permeate flow velocity on the trade-off of water flux and scaling resistance of superhydrophobic and welding-pore fibrous membrane in membrane distillation

Zhigao Zhu et al.

Summary: The study found that designing welded-pore and superhydrophobic fibrous membrane combined with optimizing flow velocity is extraordinarily effective in simultaneously improving membrane water flux and mitigating membrane scaling for concentrating hypersaline wastewaters. These findings are significant for breaking the trade-off between membrane water flux and scaling for practical application in industries.

A zero liquid discharge system integrating multi-effect distillation and evaporative crystallization for desalination brine treatment

Qian Chen et al.

Summary: The paper proposes a zero liquid discharge system utilizing multi-effect distillation and evaporative crystallization to treat desalination brine with a salinity of 70 g/kg. The thermodynamic analysis shows that heat consumption can be effectively reduced by increasing the number of MED stages, while the specific heat transfer area decreases significantly with higher heat source temperatures. Techno-economic analysis demonstrates that cost reduction can be achieved through employing cost-effective heat sources and reducing heat consumption.

Ultrahigh and Stable Water Recovery of Reverse Osmosis-Concentrated Seawater with Membrane Distillation by Synchronously Optimizing Membrane Interfaces and Seawater Ingredients

Guangming Tan et al.

Summary: Membrane distillation shows potential in improving the recovery of RO-concentrated seawater for zero-liquid discharge, but scaling and fouling issues must be addressed. The use of a dual-layer membrane with hierarchically rough fibers and adjusting seawater ingredients can enhance membrane durability and stability, allowing for high water recovery rates. Understanding the membrane interface and optimal seawater composition is crucial for successful application of membrane distillation in treating RO-concentrated seawater.
