TL;DR: In this paper, a material gap membrane distillation (MGMD) module was proposed for seawater desalination and successfully tested and an increase in the water vapor flux of about 200-800% was observed by filling the gap with sand and DI water at various feed water temperatures.

TL;DR: In this article, a 1-dimensional air gap membrane distillation (AGMD) model for flat sheet type modules has been developed, which is based on mathematical equations that describe the heat and mass transfer mechanisms of a single-stage AGMD process.

TL;DR: In this article, the flux performance of different hydrophobic microporous flat sheet commercial membranes made of poly tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and poly propylene (PP) was tested for Red Sea water desalination using the direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) process, under bench scale (high ΔT) and large scale module (low ΔT).

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of temperature polarization on water vapor flux in VMD has been investigated from a theoretical point of view and a simple graphical method and a mathematical model for determining VMD flux flux are presented.

TL;DR: Aromatic fluorinated polyoxadiazoles and polytriazoles (F-PT) were synthesized and for the first time manufactured into porous membranes by phase inversion and by electrospinning as discussed by the authors.
