Plastic waste and industrial residues like steel slag pose significant environmental challenges, with limited recycling solutions. This study investigates a sustainable approach by repurposing waste polystyrene and steel slag into composite membranes via electrospinning for membrane distillation applications. Steel slag incorporation enhanced membrane porosity, hydrophobicity, and thermal stability, with process optimization performed through response surface methodology by varying slag content (0-10 wt%), voltage (15-30 kV), and feed rate (0.18-10 mL·h<sup>-1</sup>). Optimized membranes achieved a reduced fiber diameter (1.172 µm), high porosity (82.3%), and superior hydrophobicity (contact angle 102.2°). Mechanical performance improved with a 12% increase in tensile strength and a threefold rise in liquid entry pressure over pure polystyrene membranes, indicating greater durability and wetting resistance. In direct contact membrane distillation, water flux improved by 15% while maintaining salt rejection above 98%. Under photothermal membrane distillation, evaporation rates rose by 69% and solar-to-thermal conversion efficiency by 60% compared to standard PVDF membranes. These results demonstrate the feasibility of transforming waste materials into high-performance, durable membranes, offering a scalable and eco-friendly solution for sustainable desalination.
