i n f o Generally speaking, it should be noted that CFD-based models are very qualitative. Actually, in practice the selection of the best case, i.e. the specific microstructure for membrane or spacer geometry and the module geometry includes a trade-off between the costs of membranes needed to produ

Surface modifying macromolecules (SMMs) were synthesized and blended into the casting solution of polyethersulfone (PES) membranes. The solution was cast to films on the glass plate. The cast films were placed in a temperature-controlled oven with forced air circulation to remove the solvent, before

Surface modifying macromolecules (SMMs) are oligomeric fluoropolymers synthesized by urethane chemistry and tailored with fluorinated endgroups. Two novel SMM formulations were blended into polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) casting solutions containing N,N-dimethylacetamide. Based on the advancing and

It is imperative to review the history of the past to provide a vision for the future. It is therefore the objective of this paper to review the history of the development of membranes and membrane processes for water production in general and seawater desalination in particular. The review highligh
