One of the greatest challenges to the sustainability of modern society is an inadequate
supply of clean water. Due to its energy-saving and cost-effective features, membrane …

The concept of nanomaterials membranes (NMs) promises to be a sustainable route to
improve the membrane characteristics and enhance the performance of membrane …

In this study, we demonstrate a highly antifouling thin-film composite (TFC) membrane by
grafting a zwitterionic polymer brush via atom-transfer radical-polymerization (ATRP), a …

Membrane fouling always as the main obstacle hinders wide application of membrane
bioreactor (MBR). Development of antifouling membranes is a promising strategy to …

Superhydrophilic and underwater superoleophobic membranes are emerging materials for
effective oil/water separation. In this paper, an electrospun nanofibrous (ENF) membrane …

A highly hydrophilic PVDF membrane was fabricated through chemically binding TiO2
nanoparticles and a poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) layer onto a membrane surface …

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 …

In the present research, for the first time PVDF/Brij-58 blend nanofiltration membranes with
remarkable performance in filtration of dye aqueous solution were prepared via immersion …

The polymeric membrane has been widely used for wastewater remediation due to its low
energy consumption and benign mechanical properties. Its inherent hydrophobicity leads to …

Various pollutants of different sizes are directly (eg, water-borne diseases) and indirectly
(eg, accumulation via trophic transfer) threatening our water health and safety. To cope with …
