ABSTRACT:
A water purification device comprises a compartment for holding a supply of impure water; a purified water collection zone; and a dense hydrophilic membrane between the compartment and the purified water collection zone. The membrane is capable of functioning by membrane distillation. A water vapour condensing surface is provided in the purified water collection zone. The condensing surface is spaced from the membrane.
