Fabrication of an organic polymer nanofiltration with both high water permeability and salt rejection is still a big challenge. Herein, phytic acid (PhA)-modified graphene oxide (GO) was used...

The filtration characteristics of simulated dyeing effluents containing Acid Orange 7, sodium sulfate, and a pH buffer made of acetic acid and sodium acetate is described using a commercially available nanofiltration membrane. The original membrane filtration properties were characterized with deionized water to provide a baseline of membrane performance. At high volumetric concentration of the...

Many organic compounds cause an irreversible damage to human health and the ecosystem and are present in water resources. Among these hazard substances, phenolic compounds play an important role on the actual contamination. Utilization of membrane technology is increasing exponentially in drinking water production and waste water treatment. The removal of organic compounds by nanofiltration mem...

Graphene oxide (GO) is emerging as an excellent next generation material for water purification membranes. Its ability to be fabricated cost-effectively in large quantities and featured characteristics, such hydrophilicity, makes it equitable graphene alternative respective nanometric applications, including nanofiltration. In this study, the influence of key properties GO sheets, lateral size,...

Natural organic matter (NOM) complicates water treatment and causes formation of disinfection byproducts (DBPs). NOM is removed well by nanofiltration (NF) but extensive membrane fouling, especially in the presence divalent cations. This research investigated a hybrid electrodialysis-nanofiltration (ED–NF) system to treat freshwaters containing hardness NOM. ED removes most ions little no NOM, ...
