Conventional water resources in many regions are insufficient to meet the water needs of
growing populations, thus reuse is gaining acceptance as a method of water supply …

The presence of nano and microplastics in water has increasingly become a major
environmental challenge. A key challenge in their detection resides in the relatively …

Over the past decades, water scarcity and security have significantly stimulated the
advances of reverse osmosis (RO) technology, which dominates the global desalination …

Electrodialysis, a membrane separation method, uses an electrical potential difference to
separate ions in aqueous solutions. Electrodialysis is used in several industries for the …

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 …

Water scarcity at global level has called for attentions to establish new and innovative
technologies that can be tapped to provide sustainable solutions to water crisis. Membrane …

Current interest in melanin films derived from the autoxidation of dopamine stems from their
use as a universal adhesion layer. Here we report chemical and physical characterization of …

This review is devoted to the application of bulk synthetic polymers such as polysulfone
(PSf), polyethersulfone (PES), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) for …
