  • Title: Water desalination using carbon-nanotube-enhanced membrane distillation.
    Author: Gethard K, Sae-Khow O, Mitra S.
    Journal: ACS Appl Mater Interfaces; 2011 Feb; 3(2):110-4. PubMed ID: 21188976.
    Abstract:
    Carbon nanotube (CNT) enhanced membrane distillation is presented for water desalination. It is demonstrated that the immobilization of the CNTs in the pores of a hydrophobic membrane favorably alters the water-membrane interactions to promote vapor permeability while preventing liquid penetration into the membrane pores. For a salt concentration of 34 000 mg L(-1) and at 80 °C, the nanotube incorporation led to 1.85 and 15 times increase in flux and salt reduction, respectively.
