Exploiting the interplay between liquid-liquid demixing and crystallization of the PVDF membrane for membrane distillation

Nawi, NIM; Bilad, MR; Nordin, NAHM; Mavukkandy, Musthafa O; Putra, ZA; ETAL. (Hindawi, 2018)

Membrane distillation (MD) purifies water by transporting its vapor through a hydrophobic membrane. An ideal MD membrane poses high water flux and high fouling, scaling, and wetting resistances. In this study, we develop ...
On the effect of fumed silica particles on the structure, properties and application of PVDF membranes

Mavukkandy, Musthafa O; Bilad, MR; Kujawa, J; Gharabli, S Al; Arafat, HA (Elsevier, 2017-10)

This study explored the impact of hydrophobic fumed silica (FS) particles as an inorganic additive in the preparation of polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF) membranes using the phase inversion technique. PVDF membranes were ...
Understanding wetting phenomena in membrane distillation and how operational parameters can affect it

Burrieza, E Guillen; Mavukkandy, Musthafa O; Bilad, MR; Arafat, HA (Elsevier, 2016-10)

Direct contact membrane distillation experiments were carried out under this work to study the influence of operational variables on membrane wetting. In the first part of this work, experiments were designed according to ...
