Membrane separators are promising alternatives in recent times, due to their high efficiency and applicability in various fields. For example, membranes are currently widely used in water treatment and in reverse osmosis desalination plants but are used on a small scale in the ultrafiltration membrane filters [1]. On the other hand, the solar powered small-scale ultrafiltration membrane systems are currently being used in remote areas which are difficult to drinking safe water, or in natural disasters or in the emergency situations. Key considerations must be taken during development the new membranes, include the cost and scalability, high chemical/thermal stability, high selectivity and high permeability [2]. The membrane must also be designed to separate multicomponent mixtures, resist fouling, and have excellent mechanical and chemical stability [3].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
