Recent progress in reverse osmosis (RO) technology is not limited to RO membrane
materials, module designs and RO process optimization. It involves prior feed treatment …

This contribution critically reviews the state of knowledge on interactions of natural colloids
and engineered nanoparticles with natural dissolved organic materials (DOM). These …

Pretreatment of raw feed water is an essential step for proper functioning of a reverse
osmosis (RO) desalination plant as it minimizes the risk of membrane fouling. Conventional …

Seawater desalination using reverse osmosis (RO) process has increased substantially in
the recent past and is expected to grow at an increasingly rapid pace in the future …

Desalination is an energy intensive process requiring adequate pre-and post-treatment. The
novelty of this paper is that it jointly reviews the technologies for pre-treatment, desalination …

Natural organic matter (NOM) removal from water prior to other treatment processes can
improve treatment efficiency and final water quality. Here, NOM removal across five size …

Solid particles (SP) suspended in water represent a common contamination that degrades
the water quality, not only in drinking water sources. Particles differ in size, nature, and …

Understanding the growth potential of assimilable organic carbon (AOC) is important to
manage bacterial regrowth in the water treatment process. Bacterial growth in seawater …

The world population growth leads to important problems and challenges like drinking water
demand, climate change, and health problems related to these issues. But the main solution …

Engineered nanoparticles are emerging pollutants. Their increasing use in commercial
products suggests a similar increase of their concentrations in the environment. Studying the …
