Development of hydrophobic metakaolin hollow fibre membrane for membrane distillation application

Metakaolin hollow fibre membranes (MHFM) was prepared by a combined phase inversion and sintering method for direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) application. Four hydrophobic metakaolin hollow fibre membranes (h-MHFM) sintered at different temperatures (1200ºC to 1500ºC) were successfully pr...
