Enhanced water desalination via PVDF-chabazite mixed matrix membranes in vacuum membrane distillation
, respectively. Despite different nature of the chabazite (hydrophilic) and PVDF (hydrophobic), the compatibility was sufficient to avoid formation of non-selective gaps and completely reject salt (99.99%). The membrane performed stable, with high salt rejection, for over 16 h before pore wetting was observed. Although, some issues with chabazite aggregation and pore wetting were observed, the chabazite demonstrated promising potential as a filler that enhances water transport.
