Development and Characterization of Low-Cost Flat Sheet Ceramic Membranes for Water Desalination by Membrane Distillation KU Leuven
This thesis is concerned with the development and characterization of low-cost flat sheet ceramic membranes for water desalination by membrane distillation. The research covers the beneficiation and characterization of kaolin clay and metakaolin grafted membranes with 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane (PFAS). In addition, state-of-the-art research findings on solar-powered membrane technologies for water purification are presented and ...
Conjugate heat and mass transfer in vacuum membrane distillation for solution regeneration using hollow fiber membranes KU Leuven
To avoid problems such as low efficiency of liquid desiccant processes in high humidity environments, vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) solution regenerators are proposed. This study investigates the conjugate heat and mass transfer mechanism in the vacuum membrane distillation solution regeneration. The study reveals that the solution temperature and concentration in the hollow fiber membrane tube exhibit a tower-shaped distribution, with the ...
Advanced Membrane Synthesis Methods: Exploration of 3D Printed Membranes for Oil/Water Separation and Development of Novel Polymers for Organic Solvent Nanofiltration KU Leuven
Various fabrication methods and different polymers have been applied in recent years to synthesize membranes. Combined with current membrane fabrication methods and commercial polymers, almost all kinds of polymeric membrane ranging from porous microfiltration membranes to dense reverse osmosis membranes have been fabricated in academic and commercial environments. However, membranes synthesized by currently used methods and polymers cannot ...
Characterization and performance evaluation of commercially available hydrophobic membranes for direct contact membrane distillation KU Leuven
© 2016 Elsevier B.V. Membrane distillation (MD) uses a microporous hydrophobic membrane for the separation of non-volatile solutes from liquid streams. The microporous structure should be designed for optimal vapor transport through the membrane, whereas the hydrophobicity is required to retain the liquid phase. Currently, different types of commercially available hydrophobic microfiltration membranes are used for membrane distillation. However, ...
