Membrane distillation is a process in which, for example water in a heated salt solution, evaporates through a porous membrane. The vapor condenses on a coolant surface at the other side of the membrane. The two liquid streams, the salt solution and the condensate, are separated by a nonwettable (hy

Vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) process received a great deal of attention by many investigators because of its promising applications in many separation areas. Theoretical models published in literature describe vapor flux through membrane pores ignoring membrane pore space interconnectivity. Th
## Abstract Two separation processes, pervaporation (PV) and vacuum membrane distillation (VMD), were studied using polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) flatβsheet membranes for the separation of chloroformβwater mixtures. Both PV and VMD membranes were prepared using the phaseβinversion method and the s
