Water is not only an essential resource for life but also
a crucial input in industry. Water sources around the world vary in their
levels of pollution and salinity. Advanced technologies have been developed for
the use of water in industrial applications. The aim of this study is to
investigate the separation of saline water using an innovative membrane
distillation method for use in process and cooling water. A key point of the
study is the use of a membrane regenerated from waste polymer in the membrane
distillation system. This will ensure waste disposal by reusing waste without
mixing it into nature, and will contribute to the country's economy by
recycling waste instead of using a new product. In addition, the study will
involve the direct use of real seawater on an industrial scale.
Within the scope of the study, polyvinylidene fluoride
(PVDF), a commercial membrane material, was obtained from waste membranes and
reused. This enabled the production of a recycled domestic membrane. The recovered
PVDF was produced as a porous membrane using the electrospinning technique.
Characterization tests such as FTIR, porosity-water retention, and mechanical
strength were performed on the membrane. The porosity value of 78% is
consistent with the structure reported in the literature for recycled PVDF. The
stress value of the membrane obtained using recycled PVDF polymer was measured
as 10.09 MPa, while the strain value was 0.64. This indicates that the membrane
exhibits flexible mechanical behavior. Finally, salt rejection of 99% and above
was achieved.
