Membrane distillation: Recent developments and perspectives

Recent advances in membrane distillation processes: Membrane development, configuration design and application exploring

Modification of polyethersulfone membranes – A review of methods

Membrane distillation is a process that utilizes differences in vapor pressure to permeate water through a macro-porous membrane and reject other non-volatile constituents present in the influent water. This review considers the fundamental heat and mass transfer processes in membrane distillation, recent advances in membrane technology, module configurations, and the applications and economics of membrane distillation, and identifies areas that may lead to technological improvements in membrane distillation as well as the application characteristics required for commercial deployment.

CF4 plasma surface modification of asymmetric hydrophilic polyethersulfone membranes for direct contact membrane distillation

Numerical modeling of residual stress induced by laser shock processing

The invention discloses a superhydrophobic inorganic organic nano composite polymeric coating material and a preparation method thereof. The coating material is prepared from 30 to 98 mass percent of thermosetting polymeric precursor and 10 to 70 mass percent of surface functionalized nanoparticle under the action of 0 to 5 mass percent curing agent, wherein the obtained surface water contact angle and rolling angle of the material are 120 to 180 DEG and 1 to 20 DEG respectively; and a falling water drop which is spherical can bounce up and can freely roll on the surface. The method has the characteristic of simple preparation process by using the chemical reaction between organic groups on the surfaces of the polymeric precursor and the modified nanoparticle in the solution. The coating material has the functions of stain resistance, dust prevention and self cleaning.
