In this paper, commercially available graphene oxide (GO) was used as nanomaterials to
modify polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membrane surface. After functionalization, the …

Reverse osmosis (RO) is poised to be the primary membrane-based water desalination
technology as the need for potable water increases. Current and prior research focuses on …

The calcium sulfate scale is a common scale in the industrial water system, which is difficult
to be removed by common chemical cleaning methods. In this paper, a new phosphorous …

In seawater reverse osmosis, membrane scaling is one of the major issues affecting its
