Breaking the Saturated Vapor Layer with a Thin Porous Membrane

open access: yesMembranes, 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 ...
