This paper intends to review the state of the art of new generation nanomaterials–carbon
nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, zeolites, aquaporin (AQP) for water desalination. The major …

A new hybrid loose nanofiltration membrane with the positive surface charge was developed
by self-assembly of Ethylenediamine (ED) grafted multi-walled carbon nanotube (ED-g …

This paper reviews various functional materials used in desalination. Desalination of the
abundant seawater resource has emerged as a promising technology to meet the current …

The Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane technology is a promising technology for wastewater
treatment and seawater or brackish water desalination. However, membrane biofouling …

Abstract Biofouling is the Achilles Heel of membrane processes. The accumulation of
organic foulants and growth of microorganisms on the membrane surface reduce the …

This review provides a comprehensive overview on applications, preparation methods, and
most notably the performance efficiency of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)‐based membranes for …

Nanomaterials have been used in the formulation of thin-film composite (TFC) membranes
to improve membrane performance and reduce environmental impact. Here we investigate …

Highly permeable polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membranes are desirable for reducing
the energy burden and ensuring future water resources in arid and semiarid regions. One …

Membrane fouling is the vulnerable point of polyamide (PA) reverse osmosis (RO)
