DOI: 10.1016/j.cherd.2018.05.010
Abstract: Abstract Desalination of high salinity water by pervaporation using hydrophilic poly(ether-block-amide) membranes was investigated. A flux of 1680 g/(m2 h) and almost complete salt rejection (>99.9%) were achieved at 65 °C. Increasing salt concentration from 1 to 20 wt%… read more here.
