Abstract:
Membrane distillation is a new type of water treatment technology that combines membrane process with thermal drive. It has been widely used in research into seawater desalination and wastewater treatment. Although this technology can theoretically remove the pollutants completely, the issue of membrane fouling caused by the accumulation of organic and inorganic pollutants on the membrane surface remains the main factor limiting its practical application. Focusing on membrane fouling issues in the membrane distillation process, this review introduces the fouling mechanisms, the foulant compositions, and the influencing factors. Two kinds of membrane fouling mitigation technologies were briefly introduced namely pretreatment and membrane cleaning. On this basis, the characteristics of various membrane fouling mitigation technologies were emphasized. This review will provide experience and reference for solving membrane fouling problems in practical membrane distillation processes.
