Membrane distillation (MD) is a hybrid of thermal and membrane processes that utilizes a hydrophobic membrane to separate volatile solutes from feed solution at fairly high temperatures. This process is known to be capable of achieving excellent separation efficiency at low pressure. However, the co...
