Abstract

This study discloses the role of graphene when confined in PVDF membranes to be processed in membrane distillation. Nanocomposite membranes at different loading of graphene have been designed to work in thermally driven desalination plants in order to explore the potential of this 2D material in the treatment of salty solutions (Perrotta et al., 2017; Gugliuzza et al.2017; Gugliuzza et al. 2015). Manufacturing, characterization and testing have been done and discussed through a comparative analysis with commercial membranes, which are traditionally used in thermally driven membrane distillation (Gugliuzza et al. 2018
