Osmotic membrane distillation

Osmotic membrane distillation (OMD) is a novel membrane process that facilitates the concentration of aqueous solutions under mild operating conditions. The main drawback of OMD, like any other membrane process, is relatively low flux. In the present work acoustic field has been applied for the enha

This paper presents an experimental procedure to analyse the heat and mass transfer phenomena involved in osmotic membrane distillation and to measure the related parameters. Use is made of a module containing a few membrane sheets in co-current flow configuration. Whatever the inlet feed and extrac
