feed normal boiling point, so waste heats or other alternative energies including geothermal and solar energy are also applicable[7–10]. In addition, since there is no need to apply pressure difference between two sides of the membrane, membrane fouling as one of the most serious problems in pressure-driven membrane processes is less significant[11]. The membranes in MD process are required to have hydrophobic properties i.e. low surface energies. In most studies, commercial porous hydrophobic membranes
