Addressing the critical issue of recycling end-of-life membranes, this study focuses on the meticulous process of removing contaminants and rejuvenating deteriorated polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes for secondary applications. We unveil a successful upcycling approach wherein these membranes are effectively cleaned and recoated, transforming them for utilization in the membrane distillation (MD) process. Citric acid proved… Continue reading Enhancing sustainability: Upcycled membrane distillation for water and nutrient recovery from anaerobic membrane bioreactor effluent
