The growing scarcity of freshwater is driving the implementation of desalination on an increasingly large scale. However, the energy required to run desalination plants remains a drawback. The idea of using renewable energy sources is fundamentally attractive and many studies have been done in this

Membrane contactors have known recently an increasing interest [3]. They are reported for example for the preparation of emulsions (“membrane emulsification”) and for the preparation of precipitates. The membrane pores behave as parallel capillaries for the introduction of a phase A through the memb

The morphology of a typical microfiltration membrane is a random, irregular, three-dimensional, and interconnected network. In this study, a realistic model of microporous membrane was obtained using Confocal Scanning Laser Microscopy (CSLM). CSLM allows accurate and non-destructive membrane section
