Abstract
Oil contaminants adsorbed on the hydrophobic membranes during water desalination by membrane distillation (MD) resulted in accelerated membrane wetting. To mitigate wetting problem, the surface modifications by plasma treatment have been developed to enhance polypropylene membrane hydrophilicity without changing its bulk properties. Argon and argon/oxygen gas plasma were applied for this purpose. The surface wetting properties of the membranes...
