Water scarcity is a grand challenge that has always stimulated research interests in finding
effective means for pure water production. In this context, reverse osmosis (RO) is …

Reverse osmosis membrane technology has developed over the past 40 years to a 44%
share in world desalting production capacity, and an 80% share in the total number of …

The development of the antifouling Reverse Osmosis (RO) membranes requires modeling
and simulation as an essential tool alongside the progress of RO membrane technologies …

This paper reviews the methods to monitor reverse osmosis (RO) membrane fouling, either
by characterizing the fouling potential of the feed or by detecting the fouling condition of the …

Blocking filtration laws consist of four different filtration mechanisms: complete blocking,
standard blocking, intermediate blocking, and cake filtration. Blocking filtration laws for …

Pore blocking is one of the critical factors governing the overall performance of membrane
filtration systems. Pore blockage leads to a large resistance to filtration, giving rise to a sharp …

Reverse osmosis (RO) desalination currently plays a vital role in addressing the critical and
growing issue of water scarcity through desalination of brackish waters (BWRO) and …

Reverse Osmosis (RO) membrane fouling is one of the main challenges that membrane
manufactures, the scientific community and industry professionals have to deal with. The …

One of the most important considerations in applying membrane technology is the inevitable
fouling of membranes which has very serious operational, economic and environmental …

Negatively charged thin-film-composite polyamide nanofiltration (NF) membranes were
used to filter aqueous calcium sulfate solution, examining potential for water-softening …
