Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) are composed of supramolecular interactions of two or more natural compounds, such as organic acids, sugars, and amino acids, and they are being used as a new media alternative to conventional solvents. In this study, a new application of NA ...
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 poly ...

Development, application, and early-warning of biofouling in RO treatment

The growing demand for fresh water has resulted in increasing use of reverse osmosis (RO) membrane systems for seawater desalination. A major operational problem of RO membrane filtration systems is biofouling – biomass growth causing an unacceptable membrane performance decline. ...
