Development of membrane science and technology gives more inspiration to chemical engineering researchers in variety of fields. Membrane distillation crystallization (MDC) is a promising hybrid separation process that has been applied to seawater desalination, brine treatment and wastewater recovery. In recent years, great progress has been made in MDC including the promotion of nucleation control of crystallization and crystal size distribution modification. The progress is not only shed light on chemical industry, but also biological and pharmaceutical engineering, etc. Membrane assisted approach provides an alternative approach for the controllable and stable the supersaturation degree and nucleation control. In addition, allowing for the potential integrated MDC with other processes, the development of MDC process models and controlling strategies design should be paid intensive attention. By summarizing the most important innovative applications in MDC, which are developed for crystal engineering and pharmaceutical manufacturing, this review is aimed to overview the progress in MDC and outline the future research direction and potential applications.
