Carbon nanotube (CNT) enhanced membrane distillation is presented for water desalination. It is demonstrated that the immobilization of the CNTs in the pores of a hydrophobic membrane favorably alters the water-membrane interactions to promote vapor permeability while preventing liquid penetration into the membrane pores. For a salt concentration of 34 000 mg L(-1) and at 80 °C, the nanotube incorporation led to 1.85 and 15 times increase in flux and salt reduction, respectively.
碳纳米管（CNT）增强膜蒸馏用于海水淡化。研究表明，CNT 在疏水性膜孔中的固定化有利于改变水-膜相互作用，促进蒸汽渗透，同时防止液体渗透到膜孔中。在盐浓度为 34000mg/L 和 80°C 的条件下，纳米管的加入分别使通量和脱盐率提高了 1.85 倍和 15 倍。
