TL;DR: The major breakthrough in the preparation of thin film composite (TFC) membrane via interfacial polymerization technique has resulted in tremendous achievements in producing a membrane with a right combination of flux and salt rejection, and generating huge interest in industrial sectors as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: This review attempts to give the readers insights into the difficulties of incorporating inorganic nanomaterials into the organic PA layer whose thickness usually falls in a range of several-hundred nanometers and shows new possible approaches to overcome these challenges in TFN membrane fabrication.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the application of polymeric nanofiltration membranes (NF) in the specific waste stream in the textile industry, which typically generates large volumes of wastewater containing complex contaminants from its daily operation is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive review of the performance and capability of different membrane processes and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each one for heavy metal removal is provided. And the technical challenges of existing membrane process and recommends future research to further enhance membrane performance.

TL;DR: In this article, polysulfone (PSf)-titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanocomposite substrates were prepared by incorporating different amounts of TiO2 nanoparticles (ranging from zero to 1.5%) into PSf matrix.
