TL;DR: This review attempts to define the steps still required for FO to reach full-scale potential in wastewater treatment and water reclamation by discussing current novelties, bottlenecks and future perspectives of FO technology in the wastewater sector.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review mechanisms and models of solute transport relevant to nanofiltration (NF), reverse osmosis (RO), and forward Osmosis(FO) membrane separation processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of electrostatic interactions on the rejection of organic solutes with nanofiltration membranes were investigated, and it was concluded that for negatively charged membranes, electrostatic repulsion leads to an increase of rejection of negatively charged solutes and electrostatic attraction leads to a decrease of the rejection, compared to neutral solutes.

TL;DR: In this article, an overview of priority organic micropollutants and their occurrence in Flemish and Dutch water sources is presented, and rejection by nanofiltration is qualitatively predicted for the selected priority micropolutants.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of surface water pretreatment on membrane fouling and the influence of these different fouling types on the rejection of 21 neutral, positively and negatively charged pharmaceuticals were investigated for two nanofiltration membranes.
