Polymeric membranes are an energy‐efficient means of purifying water, but they suffer from
fouling during filtration. Modification of the membrane surface is one route to mitigating …

Membrane separation processes have become a basic unit operation for process design
and product development. These processes are used in a variety of separation and …

Applications of membrane technology in water desalination and wastewater treatment have
increased significantly in the past few decades due to its many advantages over other water …

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) carboxylated to varying weight percentages were
added to polysulfone membranes. The degree to which the CNTs were retained within the …

The continued depletion of fresh drinking water resources throughout the world has
increased the need for a variety of water treatment and recycling strategies. Conventional …

Two-dimensional carbon materials such as the 2D nanoweb-like graphyne membrane are
promising as molecular sieves for energy and environmental applications. Based on the …

Low-pressure membrane (LPM) filtration, including microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration
(UF), is a promising technology for the treatment of surface water for drinking and other …

Abstract Poly (vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) is widely used to fabricate filtration membranes in
the form of hollow fibers and flat sheets. However, the potential problems associated with its …

Membranes are a mechanical form of disinfection that works by physical separation of the
target pathogen. In theory, an intact membrane is a barrier to pathogens that are larger in …

Graphene oxide (GO) with a two-dimensional lamellar structure and single-atom thickness
has exhibited advantages in water purification by stacking to a continuous membrane …
