Reverse osmosis (RO) membranes inevitably foul due to the accumulation of material on the membrane surface. Instead of trying to reduce membrane fouling by chemical modification of the membrane, a different approach was taken here based on adding a sacrificial coating of two p ...
Fouling of spiral-wound reverse osmosis (SWRO) membrane systems is a pervasive problem. Here we demonstrate that a mobile, low cost magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus operating at the earth’s magnetic field (low magnetic field, LF) can non-invasively (i) image the insi ...
Global freshwater demand has significantly increased over the past century and continued growth is expected in the coming century. Since more than 97 percent of the water in the world is seawater, desalination technologies have the potential to solve the fresh water crisis. Curre

Biofouling studies addressing biofouling control are mostly executed in short-term studies. It is unclear whether data collected from these experiments are representative for long-term biofouling as occurring in full-scale membrane systems. This study investigated whether short-t
