TLDR
In this paper, the role of chemical and physical interactions in natural organic matter (NOM) fouling of nanofiltration membranes is systematically investigated, and it is demonstrated that the rate of fouling is controlled by an interplay between permeation drag and electrostatic double layer repulsion.

Cross-sectional analysis of fouled SWRO membranes by STEM-EDS

TL;DR: In this paper, the intact cross-section of two fouled reverse osmosis membranes was characterized using a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) equipped with an electron energy dispersive spectroscope (EDS).

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of the Interaction between Common Metal Ions and Humic Acids

TL;DR: In this article, the aggregation of HA is caused by the complexation of HA and metal ions, mainly due to the intermolecular bridging between Ca2+, Mg2+ and COO− groups.

Usage of permeate water for treated domestic wastewater by direct capillary nanofiltration membrane in agriculture reuse

TL;DR: Direct Capillary Nanofiltration (Direct CNF) is a new technique used for surface water and wastewater treatment in one step without pre-treatment as discussed by the authors, which combines the favorable cleaning properties of capillary ultrafiltration membranes with the favourable separation properties of nanofiltration membranes in terms of removal of DOC, colour, bacteria, viruses and pesticides.

Enhanced resistance to organic fouling in a surface-modified reverse osmosis desalination membrane

TL;DR: In this article, the surface of RO membranes was modified by amphiphilic hydroxethyl methacrylate-co-perfluorodecyl acrylate copolymer films.

Insight into the distribution of metallic elements in membrane bioreactor: Influence of operational temperature and role of extracellular polymeric substances.

TL;DR: The strong bridging between EPS and metallic elements at lower temperature enhanced the compactness of the fouling layer and further decreased membrane flux, helpful for understanding the mechanism of membrane fouling at different operational temperatures and the role of EPS.

Critical flux concept for microfiltration fouling

TL;DR: The concept of critical flux is introduced in this article to identify the critical flux and the desirability of starting filtration operations at a low flux, where a flux below which a decline of flux with time does not occur.
