Air Gap Membrane Distillation (AGMD) experiments were performed for seawater desalination using prepered hydrophobic membrane. Seawater desalination aims to obtain fresh water with free salt adequate for drinking. In our work seawater treated is collected from SIDI MANSOUR Sea, located at Sfax (Tunisia). Measurements of p>ermeate flux and rejection rates were carried out by AGMD as a function of the temperature. The feed side temperature was thus varied from 75 °C to 95 C, while keeping the cooling system... [Pg.186]

A stagnant air gap is interposed between the membrane and a condensation surface. In this case, the evaporated volatile molecules cross both the membrane pores and the air gap to finally condense over a cold surface inside the membrane module. This MD configuration is called air gap membrane distillation (AGMD). [Pg.299]
