40 Citations | Despite no cleaning of the membranes, the membrane lifetime is 16 months, which means that RO treatment is economically feasible. |
130 Citations | Moreover, the long-term investigation (100 days) results show that the IU modification accompanied with the periodical free chlorine pretreatment in the RO systems is a potential strategy to increase the lifetime of the commercial RO membranes in practical application. |
34 Citations | However, it can be used consistently to convert end-of-life RO membrane into NF-like recycled membranes using concentrations higher than 10 ppm. |
17 Citations | • The RO membrane life can be extended. |
19 Citations | Consequently, the differential pressure of the RO membrane remained around 1 bar for the entire six-month study, suggesting no significant biofouling performance issue identified for this RO system. |
106 Citations | However, some recent literature indicates that RO membrane water permeability is approaching performance limits imposed by transport processes and thermodynamic constraints. |
80 Citations | Our strategy is a simple, effective and commercially viable method to enhance RO membrane performance. |
38 Citations | This study offers a new route for preparing an excellent-performance RO membrane via using 1-MI as an additive. |
21 Citations | The feasibility of treating RO concentrates by the resultant membrane was proven by the effective removal of total organic compounds (> 90%) and low rejection of total dissolved salts ( |
18 Citations | The study also proposes a dimensionless number for RO membranes that may be useful. |

How long dialysis membrane can be used?4 answersDialysis membranes can be used for varying lengths of time depending on the specific type of membrane and the dialysis technique being used. In one study, a five-year evaluation of short-term dialysis using highly permeable polyacrylonitrile membrane AN 69 showed that the duration of dialysis was 9.5 +/- 0.2 hours per week. Another study focused on hemofiltration/hemodiafiltration (HD/HDF) therapy using a protein-permeable membrane, which achieved higher success in the removal of larger molecular weight substances and reported higher clinical outcomes. Additionally, a retrospective analysis of peritoneal dialysis patients found that peritoneum survival was 98.8%, 93.7%, 87.6%, 66.9%, 46.4%, and 33.8% at 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, and 14 years. These findings suggest that dialysis membranes can be used for several years, but the specific duration may vary depending on the type of membrane and the dialysis technique being employed.
