This work demonstrates the feasibility of employing direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) for treating industrial textile wastewater for clean water production. Experimental results showed that the in-house fabricated polyvinylidene fluoride-Cloisite 15A polymer–inorganic nanocomposite membran...
