Several models commonly employed to represent the mass transfer in osmotic distillation (OD) systems are applied to the results of pure water OD experiments carried out with two commercial asymmetric porous membranes. Molecular and Knudsen diffusion mechanisms are tested to model the vapour transpor
The influence of the membrane characteristics on the water flux in the osmotic evaporation process, is evaluated. Due to the favourable hydrodynamic conditions used, concentration polarization was negligible. The effect of the membrane pore diameter, is evaluated, using symmetric membranes with the
