TL;DR: In this article, an attempt at removal of nitrate ions from tap water by means of the combined processes of reverse osmosis and nanofiltration was made, but the efficiency of this process was limited mainly by the osmotic pressure of the retentate.

TL;DR: In this article, the technical and economic feasibility of adding an ultra-filtration process as a pre-treatment for removing dissolved and colloidal contaminants > 0.4μm, and to eliminate membrane fouling before a final reverse osmosis process resulting in permeate that would meet reuse criteria.

TL;DR: This work is an overview of membrane and filtration methods for the removal of pollutants such as bacteria, viruses and heavy metals from surface water.
114 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed two sorts of characterizations: (i) physico-chemicals in terms of hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, morphology and topography, and (ii) mass transfer by pure water and saline solution permeabilities, monovalent (NaCl) and divalent (Na2SO4) solutes rejections and molecular weight cut-off determination.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent studies on using combined ion exchange (IX) and pressure driven membrane processes (microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration, nanofiltration (NF), and reverse osmosis (RO)) in water treatment is presented.
