TLDR
In this paper, the feasibility of brackish groundwater treatment by reverse osmosis (RO) for potable water production was investigated in Jordan, and the results showed that RO is actually efficient since it highly reduced the content of organic and inorganic matters present in raw waters (rejections >98.5%).About:

Influence of molecular size, polarity and charge on the retention of organic molecules by nanofiltration
TL;DR: In this article, the retention of a series of organic molecules by four nanofiltration membranes was studied, and a good correlation with retention was found for each of the size parameters: molecular weight, the Stokes diameter, the equivalent molar diameter and a diameter obtained with energy minimisation calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of hydrophobicity and molecular size on rejection of aromatic pesticides with nanofiltration membranes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined and reported on the rejection properties of 11 kinds of aromatic pesticides by nanofiltration (NF) membranes (nominal NaCl rejection is 92, 60, 51 and 15%).
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of nanofiltration for removal of pesticides, nitrate and hardness from ground water: rejection properties and economic evaluation
TL;DR: In this paper, a double pass module design with recirculation of the concentrate in the second module to the feed of the first module was used to remove four pesticides (atrazine, simazine, diuron and isoproturon), hardness and nitrates with the membranes NF70, NF45, UTC-20 and UTC-60.

Separation potential of nanofiltration membranes
Robert Rautenbach,A. Gröschl +1 more
TL;DR: The potential of realizing the Donnan-effect with respect to anions of different valency is discussed in this article, where it is shown that a high rejection for single-valent salts is not required or even unwanted.
