Nanofiltration (NF) membranes are a relatively new class of membranes which have properties in between those of ultrafiltration (UF) membranes and reverse-osmosis (RO) ones. Their separation mechanisms involve both steric (sieving) effects and electrical (Donnan) effects. The significance of this me

In this paper, the implications of the so-called optimized NF membrane properties on the economic assessment as well as the process performance of NF membrane system will be discussed. The predictive model for NF membranes such as the Donnan-steric-pore model has been used in conjunction with an eco

Thin film composite (TFC) co-polyamide membranes were modified by adding carboxyl group to the polypiperazinamide backbone. The sodium chloride, sodium sulphate, magnesium chloride and magnesium sulphate rejections were measured at various feed pressures for the modified and unmodified membranes. Th
