Abstract
A coupled membrane process of membrane distillation and osmotic evaporation, where the solutions were thermostated separately at different temperatures, was developed. Enhanced water flux was obtained since the total driving force of the coupled process was higher than the sum of the driving forces of single processes. Apple, raspberry, sour cherry, red, and black currant juices were concentrated by the novel, mild technique.
