Journal Article Siyal, Muhammad Irfan ; Department of Materials and Testing, National Textile University, Faisalabad ; Kim, Jong-Oh - Environmental Research

Highlights: • Surface modifications by FGi particles with PDMS binder of PVDF microporous membranes shown improvement in DCMD. • LEP with DI water & performance of M2-M4 modified membranes in DCMD was enhanced with 1M NaCl & 10 ppm HA feed solution. • Amphiphobicity was evidenced by CA with low surface tension liquids upto 38 dyne/cm as well as with canola oil. • EDX analysis proved enhancement in FC ratio and membrane surface analysis lead to understand enhanced performance in DCMD. Membranes with amphiphobic properties are crucial for desalination of concentrated saline water with organic foulant by membrane distillation. Inmore »« less
