摘要
Membrane distillation (MD) has promising potential in the water purification and wastewater treatment industries; however, fouling and wetting are the main obstacles to its commercialization, and higher fluxes and energy efficiencies are essential. Magneto-responsive membranes (MagMem) with integrated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) enable in situ fouling mitigation and switchable separation by nano-mixing or nano-heating, triggered by external magnetic fields, in a range of membrane processes, but not yet been demonstrated in MD. This perspective discussed the potential paths of MagMem utilization in MD based on the research status and dilemmas of MD. It can be envisioned that MagMem will lead to a paradigm shift in MD, especially by in situ fouling/wetting mitigation and enhancing energy efficiency via in-place actuation and localized heating by MNPs. Moreover, remotely controllable pore tuning and specific or switchable wettability can also be anticipated. Overall, MagMem provides attractive opportunities for advanced robust and efficient MD.
