Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the cake filtration fouling model for reverse osmosis (RO) and found that it is physically unrealistic for flux decline due to calcium sulphate precipitation fouling.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the operating conditions, such as the feed temperature, the flow velocity and the feed solution concentration, was investigated using hollow fiber polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes to concentrate reverse osmosis (RO) brine in a direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) process.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In situ grafting of Cu-NPs on reverse osmosis membranes is a potential alternative to reduce biofouling and is demonstrated to reduce live Escherichia coli bacteria on the modified membrane.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, both daily air/water cleaning (AWC) and daily copper sulphate dosing (CSD) were investigated and compared to a reference without daily cleaning, which was considered very successful in controlling particulate fouling and biofouling.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the principles, transfer mechanism and thermal efficiency characterization of the Membrane Distillation (MD) process were introduced and various factors affecting the thermal efficiency were analyzed.
