N2 - Membrane distillation crystallization (MDC) is a promising hybrid separation technology that can play an important role in desalination, mineral recovery from liquid solution as well as in carbon dioxide fixation. MDC combines membrane distillation and crystallizer into one integrated unit that allows excellent recovery of clean water and high purity salt from highly concentrated salts solution (i.e., brine), which is otherwise detrimental when discharged to the environment. The process intensification addresses the limitation of standalone membrane distillation and a standalone crystallizer (i.e., temperature and concentration polarization, membrane properties) when operated as individual technology. This review discusses the fundamental of MDC focused on how the process intensification addresses those standalone units' limitations. Later, MDC's potential applications in addressing some pressing issues such as water scarcity and climate change are also evaluated. Lastly, current trends in the MDC research are discussed to project the required future developments. © 2021 Wiley-VCH GmbH VL - 9 SN - 21969744 IS - 1 N1 - cited By 5 TI - A Review on Recent Progress in Membrane Distillation Crystallization KW - Carbon dioxide; Climate change; Crystallizers; Distillation; Membrane technology KW - Liquid solution; Membrane crystallization; Membrane distillation; Membrane distillation crystallizations; Membrane distillation crystallizer; Mineral recovery; Process intensification; Recent progress; Separation technologies KW - Desalination EP - 109 UR - https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85120541087&doi=10.1002%2fcben.202100034&partnerID=40&md5=63f474d3b7a76539acbcfe11915e4f4f AV - none PB - John Wiley and Sons Inc ER -
