Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane technology is one of the most important technologies for
water treatment. However, membrane fouling is an inevitable issue. Membrane fouling leads …

The increasing worldwide demand for freshwater production requires new and sustainable
processes to overcome the shortage of clean water. Reverse osmosis (RO) is regarded as …

Nanofiltration (NF) has been increasingly applied in municipal water treatment plants
because it has a high removal rate of organic pollutants while simultaneously reserving …

Given that surface water is the primary supply of drinking water worldwide, the presence of
natural organic matter (NOM) in surface water presents difficulties for water treatment …

Herein, we review mechanisms and models of solute transport relevant to nanofiltration
(NF), reverse osmosis (RO), and forward osmosis (FO) membrane separation processes. We …

We provide a comparison of the theoretical and actual energy requirements of forward
osmosis and reverse osmosis seawater desalination. We argue that reverse osmosis is …

Membrane‐based separation technologies have attracted significant interest from various
industries owing to their high process efficiency. However, the wider applications of …

Surface roughness and the associated nanosized voids inside the roughness structures
have great influence on the separation performance of thin film composite polyamide …

Climate change will affect water quality through a change in salinity, pH and organic matter
(OM) content due to seawater intrusion, temperature change and subsurface biological …

Current study had made a significant progress in microalgal wastewater treatment through
the implementation of an economically viable polyethylene terephthalate (PET) membrane …
