Investigating the effect of various foulants on the performance of intrinsically superhydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride membranes for direct contact membrane distillation

[Display omitted] •The superhydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride membranes were prepared.•The effects of organic, inorganic, and bio- foulants were investigated systematically using synthetic and raw seawater.•Prepared membranes were more effective than conventional and commercial PVDF membranes.•The...
