This study assesses the effects of different polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) particle sizes and concentrations on the performance of dual-layer membranes in direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD). Specifically, particle sizes of 0.5 μm, 1 μm, and 6 μm were systematically evaluated at concentrati...
