Breaking the Saturated Vapor Layer with a Thin Porous Membrane
Membranes, 2022 The main idea of membrane distillation is to use a porous hydrophobic membrane as a barrier that isolates vapor from aqueous solutions. It is similar to the evaporation process from a free water surface but introduces solid–liquid interfaces and solid ...
