• Modifications of support layer were conducted using a commercial PTFE/PP bi-composite membrane. • Macro punctures of support layer were designed based on the porosity of the support layer. • Porosity of support layer and sizes of macro punctures affected the fluxes of the modified membranes. • The or

Highly concentrated NaCl, KCl, MgCl2 and MgSO4 solutions were treated using DCMD. The effects of salt concentration (1.0–4.0 mol/L) and circulation velocity (0.1–0.5 m/s), as well as thermodynamic and physical properties of the salt solutions on permeate flux were investigated. Results showed that th
Desalination 355 (2015)

Direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) module was operated with three flat sheet commercial membranes (PTFE/PP 1.0, PTFE/PP 0.45, and PTFE/PE 0.45) under various operating conditions. High flux was observed when the PTFE/PP 1.0 membrane was used and there was no membrane wetting when the feed con
