Membranes have been extensively studied and applied in various fields owing to their high
energy efficiency and small environmental impact. Further conferring membranes with …

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 …

Microplastics (MPs) pollution has become one of the most severe environmental concerns
today. MPs persist in the environment and cause adverse effects in organisms. This review …

Reverse osmosis is becoming popular for the purification of water resources eg sea and
brackish water. However, one of the major limitations in efficient operation are the fouling of …

Mineral scaling is one of the primary factors that constrain the performance of membrane
desalination. However, compared to numerous studies on organic and biological fouling …

Research in the field of Forward Osmosis (FO) membrane technology has grown
significantly over the last 10 years, but its application in the scope of wastewater treatment …

Discharge of antibiotic‐containing wastewater causes environmental pollution and threatens
biological and human health. An efficient treatment method for this wastewater is urgently …

Colloids are fine particles whose characteristic size falls within the rough size range of 1–
1000nm. In pressure-driven membrane systems, these fine particles have a strong tendency …

Membranes, as the primary tool in membrane separation techniques, tend to suffer external
deposition of pollutants and microorganisms depending on the nature of the treating …

Osmotic membrane bioreactor (OMBR) is an emerging technology integrating a forward
osmosis (FO) process into a membrane bioreactor (MBR). This technology has been gaining …
