Electrodialysis -ED- is an electrochemical membrane process applied to produce a drinking water from brackish water. However, a fouling is a serious problem of this process, in particular, a fouling of anion-exchange ...

was also assessed for modified membrane. Finally, the antifouling property of the modified hollow fibers was assessed by milk solution ultrafiltration. The obtained results showed that the modified hollow fibers present better antifouling properties....

In this study, a new approach to improve antifouling performance of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) hollow fiber membrane has been explained. Firstly, chemical modification with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution was performed on PAN membranes in various...

fouling phenomena in polymeric membranes, and fundamental advancements in these areas will lead to a new generation of membrane materials with improved antifouling properties and reduced energy demands....

The fouling, in particular the organic fouling of anion exchange membranes (AEMs), is a serious problem in electrodialysis (ED). In this paper, we attempted to improve the antifouling potential of AEM by surface modification with polydopamine (PDA...

water flux (PWF) and dextran filtration. The

results showed that presence of F-MWCNTs in polymer matrix improved performance and

antifouling properties of PVDF/PVC blend membrane. Accordingly, incorporation of

0.3–0.5 wt.% of F...

developed membrane exhibited remarkable improvement in the antifouling property (FRR of 97.8%) and an excellent long-term stability....

Herein, to meet the requirement of the stringent sulfur emission and discharge rate standards based on World Health Organization -WHO- and Environmental Protection Agency -EPA-, polyamide/titanium dioxide -PA/TiO2- thin ...

In order to address a global issue in regard to the shortage of drinking water resources, reverse osmosis (RO) processes have been considerably attended to provide people with high-quality fresh water. In spite of many ...
