Abstract
Solar-thermal desalination (STD) is a potentially low-cost, sustainable approach for providing high-quality fresh water in the absence of water and energy infrastructures. Despite recent efforts to advance STD by improving heat-absorbing materials and system designs, the best strategies for maximizing STD performance remain uncertain. To address this problem, we identify three major steps in distillation-based STD: (i) light-to-heat energy conversion, (ii) thermal vapor generation, and (iii) conversion of vapor to water via condensation. Using specific water productivity as a quantitative metric for energy efficiency, we show that efficient recovery of the latent heat of condensation is critical for STD performance enhancement, because solar vapor generation has already been pushed toward its performance limit. We also demonstrate that STD cannot compete with photovoltaic reverse osmosis desalination in energy efficiency. We conclude by emphasizing the importance of factors other than energy efficiency, including cost, ease of maintenance, and applicability to hypersaline waters.

Abstract
Membrane distillation (MD) is an attractive technology for desalination, mainly because its performance that is almost independent of feed solute concentration as opposed to the reverse osmosis process. However, its widespread application is still limited by the low water flux, low wetting resistance and high scaling vulnerability. This study focuses on addressing those limitations by developing a novel corrugated polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane via an improved imprinting technique for MD. Corrugations on the membrane surface are designed to offer an effective surface area and at the same time act as a turbulence promoter to induce hydrodynamic by reducing temperature polarization. Results show that imprinting of spacer could help to induce surface corrugation. Pore defect could be minimized by employing a dual layer membrane. In short term run experiment, the corrugated membrane shows a flux of 23.1 Lm−2h−1 and a salt rejection of >99%, higher than the referenced flat membrane (flux of 18.0 Lm−2h−1 and similar rejection). The flux advantage can be ascribed by the larger effective surface area of the membrane coupled with larger pore size. The flux advantage could be maintained in the long-term operation of 50 h at a value of 8.6 Lm−2h−1. However, the flux performance slightly deteriorates over time mainly due to wetting and scaling. An attempt to overcome this limitation should be a focus of the future study, especially by exploring the role of cross-flow velocity in combination with the corrugated surface in inducing local mixing and enhancing system performance.

Abstract
Membrane fouling, especially inorganic fouling due to salt crystal formation and deposition on the membrane surface, is still a major technical issue in membrane distillation (MD) applications. In this study, microbubble aeration (MBA) was included in a laboratory-scale vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) rig and its effect on a desalination process was examined. Without MBA, serious membrane scaling occurred during desalination of simulated high-salinity sea water (100 g.L-1 salt concentration), which resulted in a dramatic reduction of permeate flux to essentially zero after 120 min. Scanning electron microscopy showed that a layer of large cuboid salt crystals uniformly covered the membrane surface. However, membrane scaling was mitigated with the introduction of MBA, resulting in the improved VMD desalination performance, which was positively correlated with pump pressure in the microbubble (MB) generator. Results showed that the effective processing time of the VMD desalination processing cycle was respectively prolonged to 150, 180, and more than 300 and 360 min (cf. 120 min without MBA) when the pump pressure was respectively at 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 MPa, leading to the increase of cumulative water production. Further studies found that larger numbers of MBs of smaller size were produced at higher pump pressure, which are more beneficial for increasing water vapor production and alleviating salt precipitation. The difference in zeta potential between the MBs in distilled water (about -30 mV) and that in SW100 solution (about -2 mV) demonstrated that MBA not only effectively mitigated the negative effect of concentration polarization by enhancing the surface shear rate at the membrane surface, but also reduced salt precipitation probably due to the MBs attracting counterions to the gas-water interface. Finally, energy consumption analysis of the modified VMD desalination process revealed that MBA, while itself only adding about 3% to the total energy consumption at varied pump pressures, was able to improve the specific energy consumption, especially at higher pump pressures. Together, these results demonstrate that MBA is an effective way of improving the performance of VMD desalination of water.

Abstract
The scarcity of freshwater has been recognized as one of the main challenges people must overcome in the 21st century. The adoption of an environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and energy-efficient membrane distillation (MD) process can mitigate the pollution caused by industrial and domestic wastes. MD is a thermally driven process based on vapor–liquid equilibrium, in which the separation process takes place throughout a microporous hydrophobic membrane. The present paper offers a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art MD technology covering the MD applications in wastewater treatment. In addition, the important and sophisticated recent advances in MD technology from the perspectives of membrane characteristics and preparation, membrane configurations, membrane wetting, fouling, and renewable heat sources have been presented and discussed.

Abstract
Arsenite [As(iii)] and arsenate [As(v)] removal by direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) using novel hydrophobic green, silica-based ceramic hollow fibre membranes derived from agricultural rice husk was investigated in this work. The green ceramic hollow fibre membranes were prepared from amorphous (ASHFM) and crystalline (CSHFM) silica-based rice husk ash and modified to be hydrophobic via immersion fluoroalkylsilane (FAS) grafting of 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane. Superhydrophobic contact angle values up to 157° and 161° were obtained for ASHFM and CSHFM, respectively. Remarkably, the membrane surface morphology mimicked a look-alike lotus-leaf structure with decrement in pore size after grafting via the silane agent for both membranes. The effect of arsenic pH (3–11), arsenic concentration (1–1000 ppm) and feed temperature (50–80 °C) were studied and it was found that feed temperature had a significant effect on the permeate flux. The hydrophobic CSHFM, with a flux of 50.4 kg m−2 h−1 for As(iii) and 51.3 kg m−2 h−1 for As(v), was found to be the best of the tested membranes. In fact, this membrane can reject arsenic to the maximum contaminant level (MCL) limit of 10 ppb under any conditions, and no swelling mechanism of the membranes was observed after testing for 4 hours.

Abstract
To improve the mechanical properties of the electrospun nanofibrous membrane, the nonwoven fabrics and spacer fabrics were employed as support substrates to fabricate polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofibrous composite membranes. The influences of the substrate on membrane morphology, hydrophobicity, pore size and pore size distribution, porosity, mechanical strength and permeability were comprehensive evaluated. The electrospun composite membranes had a three dimension bead-fiber interconnected open structure and a rough membrane surface. The membrane surface presented a multilevel re-entrant structure and all the water contact angles were above 140°. In contrast with the pure PVDF nanofibrous membrane, the stress at break and the elastic modulus of the composite membranes increased by 4.5-16 times and 17.5-37 times, respectively. Since the spacer fabrics had less resistance to mass transfer, the membranes composited with spacer fabrics exhibited greater permeate fluxes compared with the composite membranes with the nonwoven fabrics as substrates. During the membrane distillation test, the highest permeate flux was up to 49.3kg/m2/hr at the feed temperature of 80°C. The long-time and repeat operation of membrane distillation desalination indicated the fabricated membrane with a good resistance to scaling and wetting. The results suggested the potential of the electrospun composite membrane for membrane distillation application.

Abstract
The main objective of this review article is to provide a comprehensive view on various conventional and emerging side-stream ammonia removal treatment options for municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Optimization of wastewater treatment facilities from an energy and emissions stand-point necessitates consideration of the impact of the various internal side-streams. Side-streams from anaerobic sludge digesters in particular have the potential to be a significant ammonium load to the mainstream treatment process. However, the literature suggests that managing side-streams through their treatment in the mainstream process is not the most energy efficient approach, nor does it allow for practical recovery of nutrients. Furthermore, as effluent criteria become more stringent in some jurisdictions and sludge hydrolysis pre-treatment for digesters more common, an understanding of treatment options for ammonia in digester supernatant becomes more important. Given these considerations, a variety of side-stream treatment processes described in the literature are reviewed.

Abstract
Desalination of geothermal brackish water by membrane distillation (MD) provides a low recovery rate, but integrating MD with reverse osmosis (RO) can maximize the production rate. In this study, different design configurations of a hybrid system involving brine recycling and cascading are studied via simulations, and the performance improvement due to the process integration is substantiated via the increased recovery rate and reduced specific energy consumption. Brine recycling is also found to improve the recovery rate considerably to 40% at an energy cost of 0.9 $/m3. However, this achievement is only valid when the final brine is recycled to the RO feed: when the final brine is recycled to the MD feed, the overall performance degrades because the recycled brine cools the feed and causes a serious reduction in the driving force and the consequent production rate. Configuring the hybrid system in multiple stages connected in series increases the recovery rate to 90% and reduces the specific energy consumption to 0.9 MJ/kg. Although the specific energy cost increases dramatically because external inter-stage heating is implemented, using a free energy source (such as a geothermal or waste-energy source) for inter-stage heating could provide the optimum configuration.

Abstract
This study was carried out by applying the direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) into the treatment of effluent from anaerobic membrane bioreactor. The treatment efficiency of DCMD was highly emphasized, which was expected to be improved through the optimization of operating conditions. Three operating conditions, including temperature difference, cross-flow velocity and membrane pore size, were considered. The relative flux (the ratio of actual flux to initial flux) increased from 0.50 to 0.98 as the operating conditions changed and that was enhanced by the increment of temperature difference and cross-flow velocity. Regarding the wastewater treatment efficiency, except for ammonia nitrogen, the interception ratio was greater than 90.0%, which even reached 99.0% for CODCr, protein and polysaccharide by optimizing operating conditions. In addition, the interception ratio of PO43--P almost reached 100.0% under any operating condition. Further study about membrane fouling was carried out, and the crystallization fouling was found to be the main fouling type.

Abstract
In recent years, membrane technologies have been developed to address water shortage and energy crisis. Forward osmosis (FO), as an emerging membrane-based water treatment technology, employs an extremely concentrated draw solution (DS) to draw water pass through the semi-permeable membrane from a feed solution. DS as a critical material in FO process plays a key role in determining separation performance and energy cost. Most of existing DSs after FO still require a regeneration step making its return to initial state. Therefore, selecting suitable DS with low reverse solute, high flux, and easy regeneration is critical for improving FO energy efficiency. Numerous novel DSs with improved performance and lower regeneration cost have been developed. However, none reviews reported the categories of DS based on the energy used for recovery up to now, leading to the lack of enough awareness of energy consumption in DS regeneration. This review will give a comprehensive overview on the existing DSs based on the types of energy utilized for DS regeneration. DS categories based on different types of energy used for DS recovery, mainly including direct use based, chemical energy based, waste heat based, electric energy based, magnetic field energy based, and solar energy based are proposed. The respective benefits and detriments of the majority of DS are addressed respectively according to the current reported literatures. Finally, future directions of energy applied to DS recovery are also discussed.

Abstract
This study investigated a forward osmosis and membrane distillation (FO/MD) hybrid system for real dairy wastewater (DWW) recycling. Two types of FO membranes, cellulose triacetate-embedded polyester screen support (CTA-ES) and aquaporin inside (AQP), were employed. Sodium chloride was used as the draw solution. A cross-flow FO cell and an air gap membrane distillation module were established to conduct individual FO experiments and FO/MD experiments. From the experiments, an analysis of the water flux (Jw), reverse draw solute flux (Js), Js/Jw ratio and contaminant rejection was performed. The reverse draw solute flux was determined by monitoring the chlorine ions in the feed solution of the FO process. The study demonstrated that real DWW could be reclaimed by the FO/MD hybrid system for the reuse of urban recycled water or for higher grade utilization. The DWW flux was influenced by feed foulants, the fouling stage as well as membrane properties. Furthermore, the Js/Jw ratios were lower and more invariable for the CTA-ES membrane than for the AQP membrane, suggesting that the CTA-ES membrane had superior filtration performance. A fouled CTA-ES membrane could recover 90% of the flux after membrane cleaning.

Abstract
In this paper, a facile fabrication of enhanced direct contact membrane distillation membrane via immobilization of the hydrophilic graphene oxide (GO) on the permeate side (GOIM-P) of a commercial polypropylene supported polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane is presented. The permeate side hydrophilicity of the membrane was modified by immobilizing the GO to facilitate fast condensation and the withdrawal of the permeate water vapors. The water vapor flux was found to be as high as 64.5 kg/m²·h at 80 °C, which is 15% higher than the unmodified membrane at a feed salt concentration of 10,000 ppm. The mass transfer coefficient was observed 6.2 × 10-7 kg/m²·s·Pa at 60 °C and 200 mL/min flow rate in the GOIM-P.

Abstract
Abstract
In recent years, membrane distillation (MD) has evidently emerged as one of the promising separation processes, with increasing areas of application including but not limited to desalination, pharmaceutical and textile wastewater purification, food processing, concentration of aqueous solution, breaking azeotropic mixtures, and extraction of volatile organic compounds. Primarily, MD has been categorized on the basis of vapor collection and condensation arrangement methods. Among the various categories, air gap membrane distillation (AGMD), in which an air gap is maintained across the membrane and the cooling plate, turns out to be an important and efficient process. Lately, AGMD has received significant attention of researchers around the world which motivates the present work. This paper aims to review the work done so far concerning the AGMD in order to provide a holistic view that covers the principles and applications of AGMD, effect of process parameters, membrane parameters, mathematical modeling, fouling, temperature and concentration polarization, types of membrane module, energy consumption, recent developments in AGMD process, cost estimation, and heat integration with AGMD. To the best of our knowledge, the present work is the first attempt to exhaustively review the AGMD process.

Abstract
Membrane distillation (MD) is a rapidly emerging water treatment technology; however, membrane pore wetting is a primary barrier to widespread industrial use of MD. The primary causes of membrane wetting are exceedance of liquid entry pressure and membrane fouling. Developments in membrane design and the use of pretreatment have provided significant advancement toward wetting prevention in membrane distillation, but further progress is needed. In this study, a broad review is carried out on wetting incidence in membrane distillation processes. Based on this perspective, the study describes the wetting mechanisms, wetting causes, and wetting detection methods, as well as hydrophobicity measurements of MD membranes. This review discusses current understanding and areas for future investigation on the influence of operating conditions, MD configuration, and membrane non-wettability characteristics on wetting phenomena. Additionally, the review highlights mathematical wetting models and several approaches to wetting control, such as membrane fabrication and modification, as well as techniques for membrane restoration in MD. The literature shows that inorganic scaling and organic fouling are the main causes of membrane wetting. The regeneration of wetting MD membranes is found to be challenging and the obtained results are usually not favorable. Several pretreatment processes are found to inhibit membrane wetting by removing the wetting agents from the feed solution. Various advanced membrane designs are considered to bring membrane surface non-wettability to the states of superhydrophobicity and superomniphobicity; however, these methods commonly demand complex fabrication processes or high-specialized equipment. Recharging air in the feed to maintain protective air layers on the membrane surface has proven to be very effective to prevent wetting, but such techniques are immature and in need of significant research on design, optimization, and pilot-scale studies.
