| Outline of Research at the Start |
The objective of this research project is to develop advanced membranes that can effectively treat brine wastewater using membrane distillation (MD) technology. Currently, MD faces significant challenges due to membrane fouling, which results in process inefficiency and even failure, making it impractical for widespread use. To overcome the obstacle, it aims to develop an MD membrane that can resist both organic fouling and mineral scaling. By designing an appropriate membrane structure and chemistry, prolonged operation time and improved treatment efficacy for the MD process are anticipated.
