TL;DR: The improved fouling resistance of the modified membrane was related to the membrane physiochemical properties, which were confirmed by pure water permeation, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and contact angle, zeta potential and roughness measurements.

TL;DR: In this paper, thin film composite membranes comprising of a polyamide (PA) and polydopamine (PD) were prepared and studied for dehydration of ethylene glycol, and the effects of the number and sequence of the PD and PA sublayers in the membrane skin on the pervaporation performance were studied.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors dealt with the concentration and removal of mercury (II) from wastewater by polymer-enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF) using polyvinylamine as the mercury binding polymer.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of feed water concentration and operating temperature on the pervaporation performance of poly(N, N -dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate)/polysulfone (PDMAEMA/PSF) composite membranes were investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, solvent induced microswelling was used to increase surface hydrophilicity and smoothness of microporous membranes for water treatment, and the results showed that micro-swelling treatment induced by dilute solvent solutions is a promising method for altering membrane surface properties for fouling control in drinking water treatment.
