1. Theoretical background and contextualization of membrane distillation
This section presents the development of DM over the years, to help understand its rate of progress, the principles behind its implementation, and how it compares with other separation methods.
1.1 Historical milestones in the development of DM
The technological development of DM over the years has been linked first and foremost to the properties of membrane materials, then to module design and transmembrane vapor transport modes.
In 1963, Bodell filed a patent on the DM process, which described an apparatus producing potable water from a non-potable aqueous mixture
