Abstract: The mixture of inorganic salt LiCl and soluble polymer polyethylene glycol (PEG) as non-solvent additive was introduced to fabricate hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membrane by phase inversion process. The membrane exhibited high rejection of inorganic salt solutes and a maximum permeate flux 40. 5 kg/(m2.h) was obtained. During direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) process,the precipitation of CaCO3 would be formed and clog the hollow fiber inlets with gradual concentration of the feed when natural brackish water was used directly as feed solution,which resulted in a rapid decline of membrane module efficiency. The negative influence of scale deposits could be eliminated by acidification of the feed. The DCMD desalination experiment of acidified brackish water showes that the PVDF membrane had stable permeate flux and the conductivity of the obtained distillate remained below 10 μS/cm during the whole process.
