Nanofiltration (NF), as a powerful tool for separation of small molecules and salts, has
attracted growing attention in many applications such as wastewater treatment, water …

Microplastics (MPs) have been defined as particles of size< 5 mm and are characterized by
hydrophobicity and large surface areas. MPs interact with co-occurring hydrophobic organic …

Salting-out in aqueous NaCl solutions is relevant for the environmental behavior of organic
contaminants. In this study, Setschenow (or salting-out) coefficients (K s [M–1]) for 43 diverse …

The introduce of a nanomaterial interlayer between the substrate and polyamide is identified
as a promising strategy to construct highly performed membranes. Two-dimensional (2D) …

Osmotically driven membrane processes, such as forward osmosis (FO) and pressure
retarded osmosis (PRO), are attracting increasing interest in research and applications in …

A major UK initiative, entitled Mapping the Underworld (MTU), is seeking to address the
serious social, environmental and economic consequences arising from an inability to locate …

Surface modification is an efficient post-treatment method to optimize the properties of
nanofiltration (NF) membranes. Here, we report a facile surface modification strategy …

During desalination of feed with highly concentrated salt by nanofiltration (NF), predictive
modeling was difficult due to the effect of salt on retention of organic solutes. Consequently …

To avoid structural changes within nanofiltration membranes during operation, pre-
compaction of filtration membranes is usually performed. However, even after pre …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have great potential as solvents and catalysts in the most diverse areas of
the chemical industry. However, the need for a process that allows the recycling and …
