Vacuum Membrane Distillation

Vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) configuration is described in details in this chapter showing its advantages and drawbacks. Theoretical models and experimental studies are reviewed. Heat and mass transfer phenomena, temperature and concentration polarization, the effects of the operating parameters on the VMD performance and a number of VMD applications are reported. Finally, similarity and differences between VMD and pervaporation (PV) are discussed.
