Ultrafiltration (UF) is one of the best options for both one-stage and as part of multi-stage
water and wastewater purification. This review summarises the known facts about the fouling …

Membrane separation processes have become a basic unit operation for process design
and product development. These processes are used in a variety of separation and …

Polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration (UF) membranes were prepared by non-solvent-
induced phase separation (NIPS) method using different macromolecular additives …

Microporous hydrophobic poly (vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) hollow fibres were prepared by
the dry–wet spinning technique. N, N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) was used as solvent, while …

Asymmetric polyacrylonitrile membranes were prepared via phase inversion process from
casting solution composed of synthesized polyacrylonitrile (PAN), dimethylsulfoxide …

In water treatment processes, membrane cleaning is of paramount economic and scientific
importance. Traditionally, ultrafiltration membranes fouled with organic matter are cleaned …

Highly fouling-resistant ultrafiltration (UF) membranes were synthesized by heterogeneous
photograft copolymerization of two water-soluble monomers, poly (ethylene glycol) …

This paper presents an investigation of the variation in membrane characteristics and
formation of halogenated by-products during the off-line chemical cleaning of algae-fouled …

Polyethersulfone (PES) is one of the most commonly used polymers for preparation of
ultrafiltration and nanofiltration membranes. However, oxidative degradation of PES-based …

Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) is a commonly applied cleaning agent for ultrafiltration
membranes in water and wastewater treatment. Long-term exposure to NaClO might change …
