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 ...
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 ...
Improving properties of thin film nanocomposite membrane through polyethyleneimine intermediate layer: A parametric study
(
Elsevier B.V.
