• W2612812389 abstract "Abstract Direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) is a thermal desalination process that is capable of treating high salinity waters using low-grade heat. As a water treatment process, DCMD has several advantages, including the utilization of waste heat (below 100 ℃ ), perfect rejection of nonvolatile solutes, low areal footprint, and high scalability. However, the energy efficiency of DCMD is relatively low compared to other work-based and thermal desalination processes. In this study, we aim to quantify how membrane properties and process conditions affect the exergy or second-law efficiency ( η II ) of a DCMD desalination system with external heat recovery. In particular, we analyze how the membrane permeability coefficient ( B ) and thermal conduction coefficient ( K ) impact MD performance. We show that increasing the B value of a membrane by reducing its thickness, initially leads to an increase in η II before conductive heat loss through the membrane causes η II to fall. For a typical MD membrane with a porosity of 0.90 , material thermal conductivity of 0.20 W m − 1 K − 1 , and a nominal pore diameter of 0.6 μ m , we find that the optimal permeability coefficient is 1.59 × 10 − 6 kg m − 2 s − 1 Pa − 1 ( 572 kg m − 2 h − 1 bar − 1 ). This value corresponds to an optimal membrane thickness of around 95 μ m . Our analysis stresses the importance of effective heat recovery in DCMD. We show that an external heat exchanger with a minimum approach temperature of 5 ℃ reduces energy consumption by 72 % . Finally, we demonstrate that increasing the ratio B / K , rather than just the B value, is key to increasing the exergy efficiency of DCMD desalination. For example, increasing membrane porosity from 0.70 to 0.90 , which yields a 160 % increase in B / K , leads to a 42 % increase in η II from 5.3 % to 7.6 % . The advantages of reducing the bulk pressure ( P ) in the membrane pores are also explored. For a typical membrane, halving P from 1.0 bar to 0.5 ⁢ bar , results in a 21 % increase in η II from 7.0 % to 9.2 % . We conclude by identifying that the maximum exergy efficiency achievable as membrane porosity tends to unity is 10 % for a bulk membrane pressure of 1.0 bar and 12 % for a bulk membrane pressure of 0.5 bar , given perfect heat recovery." @default.
