Surface Modification of PVDF Membranes for Treating Produced Waters by Direct Contact Membrane Distillation

Surface Modification of PVDF Membranes for Treating Produced Waters by Direct Contact Membrane Distillation

Direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) has been conducted to treat hydraulic fracturing-produced water using polyvinylidenedifluoride (PVDF) membranes. Tailoring the surface properties of the membrane is critical in order to reduce the rate of adsorption of dissolved organic species as well as...
