Forward Osmosis Desalination: Current Research and Future Prospects
Forward osmosis (FO) is an emerging membrane-based technology which has the potential to reduce the costs and environmental impacts of desalination and water treatment. Although the understanding of RO principles and interest in its use precede current investigations by several decades, recent developments have greatly improved the prospects that ...
Binding Nanomaterials to Membrane Surface for Biofouling Control
This paper describes the development of reverse osmosis membranes with nanoparticles that have some antimicrobial properties and the effectd on biofouling is studied....
Membrane Surface Energy Required to Delay Gypsum Scaling in Brackish Water Reverse Osmosis Systems
This presentation will discuss efforts to investigate the favorable role of a high surface energy to delay the crystallization and adsorption of gypsum to thin-film composite membranes at concentrations relevant to reverse osmosis systems treating brackish water....
Brush Away Those Layer-By-Layer Membranes: Fundamentals of Polyelectrolytic Brush Membranes
This project includes fundamental studies of surface initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) on membranes to pinpoint methods to control brush density and location, brush length/rates of growth, and membrane stability. These fundamentals will be utilized to produce polyelectrolytic polymer brushes with distinct alternately-charged ...
