A major challenge is crystallization fouling on the membrane surface. In this study, a process model was coupled with geochemical software to investigate local temperatures and concentrations as well as the local saturation indices of various salts in a large-scale membrane module during seawater brine concentration. Results from a laboratory-scale membrane distillation system show that the formation of calcium sulfate, following the deposition of calcium carbonate, leads to a significant decline in permeate flux. The use of antiscalants shifts crystallization fouling to higher concentration factors.</p>","PeriodicalId":9912,"journal":{"name":"Chemie Ingenieur Technik","volume":"97 7","pages":"689-696"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cite.202500049","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144589685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
