Membrane Distillation

This book discusses membrane distillation (MD) including fundamentals of MD processes, engineering and molecular design of MD membranes and various types of hybrid systems, including freeze desalination-MD, MD-crystallization pressure retarded osmosis- MD and forward osmosis-MD. It includes future of MD with energy sources/economic analysis.
