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 …

Recent advancements in separation and membrane technologies have shown a great
potential in removing oil from wastewaters effectively. In addition, the capabilities have …

Significant progress has been achieved in the last years on the modification of
polyethersulfone (PES) membranes. Many articles and reviews have been written on the …

Fouling is the deposition of retained particles, colloids, macromolecules, salts, etc., at the
membrane surface or inside the pore at the pore wall. Fouling reduces the membrane flux …

Two of the greatest challenges facing the 21st century involve providing sustainable
supplies of clean water and energy, two highly interrelated resources, at affordable costs …

Nowadays, integrated microfiltration (MF) membrane systems treatment is becoming widely
popular due to its feasibility, process reliability, commercial availability, modularity, relative …

The modification of polymers has received much attention recently. Among the methods of
modification of polymers, grafting is one of the promising methods. In principle, graft co …

The trans membrane pressure (TMP) increase at a constant flux of 150 L m− 2 h− 1 due to
membrane fouling by direct filtration with lake water is investigated for four ceramic (Al 2 O 3 …

As one of the major techniques developed to achieve surface modification of polymeric
materials, UV-induced surface graft polymerization has been widely applied as a simple …

Membrane‐based processes are very susceptible to flux decline due to concentration
polarization and fouling problems and the concept of fouling control via process …
