Fouling mitigation strategies for different foulants in membrane distillation
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Providing clean water to a rapidly growing population is an issue that is currently getting lots of attention to offer a sustainable solution for water scarcity. Membrane distillation (MD) is one of the latest technologies ... -
Functionalization of reverse osmosis membrane with graphene oxide and polyacrylic acid to control biofouling and mineral scaling
( Elsevier B.V. , 2020 , Article)The polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membrane was modified with graphene oxide (GO), followed by polymerization of acrylic acid (used as an antiscalant) for the reduction of both biofouling and mineral scaling. After ... -
Functionalization of reverse osmosis membrane with graphene oxide to reduce both membrane scaling and biofouling
( Elsevier Ltd , 2020 , Article)In this paper, commercially available graphene oxide (GO) was used as nanomaterials to modify polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membrane surface. After functionalization, the membrane surface properties were improved as the ... -
Interaction of seawater microorganisms with scalants and antiscalants in reverse osmosis systems
( Elsevier B.V. , 2020 , Article)In this research, the interactions of seawater microorganisms with scalants (minerals like calcium sulfate) and antiscalants in the reverse osmosis (RO) systems were investigated. The interaction of seawater microorganisms ... -
Investigating the effect of polymer-modified graphene oxide coating on RO membrane fouling
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)The development of novel reverse osmosis (RO) membranes resistant to multiple types of fouling is a need to secure clean water production and meet rising water demands. In this paper, the RO membrane surface-functionalized ... -
Investigating the microorganisms-calcium sulfate interaction in reverse osmosis systems using SEM-EDX technique
( Elsevier Ltd , 2020 , Article)Membrane fouling affects the performance of membrane technologies such as reverse osmosis (RO), in water treatments and desalination industries. The membrane fouling is a multifaceted phenomenon and various components of ... -
Recent developments in ultrafiltration membrane technology for the removal of potentially toxic elements, and enhanced antifouling performance: A review
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)The presence of high concentrations of heavy metals (potentially toxic elements) in water bodies generates serious environmental issues and health problems that led to a dramatic increase in wastewater treatment costs. ...
