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

Pharmaceutically active compounds are a real threat all around the world. Conventional
water and wastewater treatment are not efficient in removing this kind of organic …

Abstract The Mg 2+/Li+ screening selectivity determines the practical application of
nanofiltration technology in lithium extraction from salt-lake brines and industrial lithium …

In this study, the separation performance of NF membrane for magnesium and lithium in salt
lake brine with a high magnesium-to‑lithium mass ratio and membrane fouling properties …

We report a new macromolecular architecture of dual functional block copolymer brushes on
commercial thin-film composite (TFC) membranes for integrated “defending” and “attacking” …

Membrane fouling remains a notorious problem in microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF),
and a systematic understanding of the fouling mechanisms is fundamental for solving this …

Fouling mechanisms underlying the filtration behaviors of alginate solution caused by
calcium addition were investigated by Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) and …

The major problems of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell technology that need to be
highlighted are fuel crossovers (eg, methanol or hydrogen leaking across fuel cell …

Forward osmosis (FO) is an emerging membrane process with potential applications in the
treatment of highly fouling feedwaters. However, biofouling, the adhesion of microorganisms …

In this study, we systematically investigated the propensity and reversibility of combined
organic–colloidal fouling in forward osmosis (FO) under various solution chemistries (pH …
