The Potential of Direct Contact Membrane Distillation for Industrial Textile Wastewater Treatment Using PVDF-Cloisite 15A Nanocomposite Membrane

This work demonstrates the feasibility of employing direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) for treating industrial textile wastewater for clean water production. Experimental results showed that the in-house fabricated polyvinylidene fluoride-Cloisite 15A polymer–inorganic nanocomposite membran...
