Optimizing Nanofiltration Membrane Performance for the Removal of Emerging Organic Micro-contaminants in Wastewater
Nanofiltration is a promising technology for water purification, yet its efficiency in removing specific organic micro-contaminants requires further optimization. This research evaluates the impact of membrane surface modifications on the rejection rates of persistent organic pollutants.
How do specific membrane surface modifications influence the rejection efficiency of emerging organic micro-contaminants during nanofiltration processes?
