Effects of anti-scaling and cleaning chemicals on membrane scale in direct contact membrane distillation process for RO brine concentrate

Membrane distillation (MD) is a promising desalination technology for water recovery from reverse osmosis (RO) brine. However, calcium sulfate as the major pollutant in RO brine concentrates induces scale occurrence in MD. Effective control of membrane scaling and cleaning of the membrane module are...
