Engineering antifouling reverse osmosis membranes: A review
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Over the past decades, water scarcity and security have significantly stimulated the advances of reverse osmosis (RO) technology, which dominates the global desalination market. However, deterioration of membrane separation performance caused by inevitable fouling, including organic fouling, inorganic fouling, colloidal fouling and biofouling, calls for improved RO membranes with more durable antifouling properties. In this review, we analyze the correlations between membrane properties (e.g. surface chemistry, morphology, hydrophilicity, and charge) to antifouling performance. We evaluate the three key strategies for engineering fouling resistant thin film composite RO membranes, namely: (1) substrate modification before interfacial polymerization, (2) incorporating (hydrophilic/biocidal/antifouling) additives into the selective layer during interfacial polymerization, and (3) post (surface) modification after interfacial polymerization. Finally, we offer some insights and future outlooks on the strategies for engineering next generation of high performance RO membranes with durable fouling resistance. This review provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art assessment of the previous efforts and strategies as well as future research directions for engineering antifouling RO membranes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
