DOI: 10.1002/marc.202200418
Abstract: Both heterogeneous nucleation and flow-induced entropy reduction are the two well-known factors that accelerate polymer crystallization. However, the interplay of nucleation and flow-induced acceleration is still poorly understood. This work investigates the nucleating effect of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.desal.2021.115115
Abstract: Abstract Although membrane distillation (MD) has great potential in treating high-salinity wastewater, continuous accumulation of inorganic salt due to increasing concentration inevitably causes supersaturation and subsequent membrane scaling. Crystallizer is an effective tool used for… read more here.
