The environmentally friendly ion-exchange membrane (IEM) processes find more and more
applications in the modern industries in order to demineralize, concentrate and modify …

Membrane‐based separation processes are very susceptible to flux decline because of
concentration polarization and fouling problems. Despite the immense applications of low …

Contact angle has been an important parameter to determine the wetting ability of the
polymer membrane surface. Contact angle has gained interest in surface science in regards …

The contribution of acid–base (AB)(polar) interactions to the total interaction energy between
membranes and colloids was investigated. The surface energetics of several membranes …

Membrane processes like reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) can be low energy
consuming operations as compared to the traditional chemical engineering unit operations …

Contact angle measurement is conducted to determine surface hydrophilicity of RO
membrane with the intention of predicting membrane performance or fouling potential. Most …

Surface properties of fish scales have inspired many research works aiming at fabrication of
membranes with specific surface wettability that have been applied vastly for treating oily …

Polyamide membranes with a controlled surface morphology were prepared by the
interfacial polymerization of 1, 3-phenylenediamine (MPD) with 1, 3, 5-benzenetricarbonyl …

Theoretical predictions of interaction energies for several membrane–colloid pairs were
made using the classical DLVO theory and an extended DLVO (XDLVO) approach. The …

Nanocomposite membranes for water treatment were prepared by vapor-induced phase
separation method from propionated lignin and cellulose triacetate (CTA). Three kinds of …
