Antifouling membranes for polluted solvents treatment

Abstract:

Traditional membrane technology is often affected by fouling, which is the main impediment to the widespread use of various membrane-based processes, as fouling leads to loss of productivity and reduced permeate quality. The success of membrane technology depends largely on how fouling is addressed. This chapter presents the types of contaminants, fouling mechanisms, and the cleaning and control of membrane fouling. In addition, membrane surface modification, both active and passive, and its influence on membrane fouling are discussed. Furthermore, the latest advances in membrane modification for organic solvents are shown. Finally, a brief description of the techniques used to understand and characterize membrane fouling is presented.
