Journal of Membrane Science, 2021 Abstract Submerged vacuum membrane distillation (S-VMD) is a thermally driven separation process capable of desalinating water with high salt concentration. Agitation techniques such as aeration and circulation have been used to enhance the permeate flux and to mitigate the effect of temperature and concentration polarizations, a major drawback in S ...
