Membrane distillation

Water desalination
Methods

Membrane distillation (MD) is a thermally driven separation process in which separation is driven by phase change. A hydrophobic membrane presents a barrier for the liquid phase, allowing the vapour phase (e.g. water vapour) to pass through the membrane's pores.[1] The driving force of the process is a partial vapour pressure difference commonly triggered by a temperature difference.[2][3]
