Journal ArticleDOI
Biofouling in reverse osmosis membranes for seawater desalination: Phenomena and prevention
TL;DR: In this paper, the causes, consequences and control of biofouling in RO membranes used for seawater desalination are discussed in some detail: biofilm formation, role of EPS, and sequence of events leading to bio fouling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of polyelectrolyte multilayer thin film composite membrane for water desalination application
TL;DR: In this paper, a spin assisted layer by layer (SA-LbL) assembly was performed by depositing alternate layers of poly(allyl amine hydrochloride) (PAH) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) on a polysulfone (PSF) ultrafiltration membrane as support.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface-modified reverse osmosis membranes applying a copolymer film to reduce adhesion of bacteria as a strategy for biofouling control

TL;DR: In this article, the hydrophilic hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and hydrophobic perfluoro decylacrylated (PFDA) were copolymerized and deposited on different substrates using an initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD) technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salt and water transport in reverse osmosis thin film composite seawater desalination membranes
TL;DR: In this article, reversible thermodynamic model (ITM) and solution diffusion model (SDM) have been thoroughly discussed in the literatures however due to its simplicity and applicability in the area of reverse osmosis desalination membrane, only SDM is chosen and discussed in this work.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reverse osmosis membranes surface-modified using an initiated chemical vapor deposition technique show resistance to alginate fouling under cross-flow conditions: Filtration & subsequent characterization
TL;DR: In this paper, the surface of commercial reverse osmosis (RO) membranes was modified by the deposition of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-perfluorodecyl acrylate (HEMAco-PFDA) copolymer films using an initiated chemical vapor deposition (i CVD) technique.
