Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a separation membrane for membrane distillation, including a feed water side for feeding raw water and a treated water side for discharging treated water, wherein the separation membrane is provided in bent form by a support frame.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A separation membrane for membrane distillation, comprising a feed water side for feeding raw water and a treated water side for discharging treated water, wherein the separation membrane is provided in bent form by a support frame at a particular angle, wherein the support frame includes at least two openings, wherein the openings are comprised within the support frame, and wherein the membrane is fitted within the each of the openings. 2. The separation membrane of claim 1 , wherein the separation membrane is a hydrophobic polymer separation membrane. 3. The separation membrane of claim 2 , wherein the hydrophobic polymer separation membrane comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polysulfone (PSF), polyether sulfone (PES), polyether imide (PEI), polyimide (PI), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyamide (PA). 4. The separation membrane of claim 1 , wherein the separation membrane has a surface pore size of 0.1˜1 μm. 5. The separation membrane of claim 1 , wherein the separation membrane has a thickness of 30˜60 μm. 6. A membrane distillation system, comprising the separation membrane of claim 1 .
