The presence of nano and microplastics in water has increasingly become a major
environmental challenge. A key challenge in their detection resides in the relatively …

Polymeric membranes are an energy‐efficient means of purifying water, but they suffer from
fouling during filtration. Modification of the membrane surface is one route to mitigating …

Membrane separation processes are often perplexed by severe and ubiquitous membrane
fouling. Zwitterionic materials, keeping electric neutrality with equivalent positive and …

In this review, polymeric membrane fabrication techniques for pressure driven membrane
processes and membrane distillation are discussed. The fabrication technique, properties of …

The separation of oily wastewater, especially emulsified oil/water mixtures, is a worldwide
challenge because of the large amount of oily wastewater produced in many industrial …

Colloids are fine particles whose characteristic size falls within the rough size range of 1–
1000nm. In pressure-driven membrane systems, these fine particles have a strong tendency …

One of the major limitations of the application of membrane processes in water and
wastewater treatment is inorganic fouling. Despite the extensive studies on concentration …

Fouling is recognized as a serious challenge in reverse osmosis desalination and in
different membrane-based separation technologies. Membrane fouling not only reduces the …

Featuring contributions by leading researchers in the field, Nanoparticle Heat Transfer and
Fluid Flow explores heat transfer and fluid flow processes in nanomaterials and nanofluids …

In this paper, isocyanate-treated graphene oxide (iGO), which can be well dispersed in
organic solvent, was prepared in a simple manner and showed excellent compatibility with …
