Key Points

The study aims to investigate the role of surfactants in enhancing wetting dynamics for membrane distillation in hypersaline conditions.
Conducted membrane distillation experiments with varying surfactant concentrations
Evaluated the effect on wetting dynamics and freshwater recovery
Surfactants significantly improved wetting dynamics
Freshwater recovery rates increased with surfactant addition
Membrane performance enhanced in hypersaline feed conditions

Implication

Experiments show surfactants improve freshwater recovery in membrane distillation, indicating potential for desalination.

Abstract

Amongst different desalination technologies to tackle freshwater demand, membrane distillation (MD) is promising in that it can effectively treat hypersaline feed or reverse osmosis reject and further improve freshwater recovery...
