“…Furthermore, RO systems cannot be carried easily on person, so that their mobility is limited. Although POU RO desalination systems have recently become available, issues associated with the common RO membranes remain, that is, low water flux, high energy and operational cost, and the inability to remove organics and some heavy metal contaminants 4,9 . In contrast, the driving force for desalination of UCNT-based membranes is the free energy of adsorption and only a small pressure drop is required to provide sufficient water flux to ensure fast convection of salt to the UCNTs.…”

“…Reverse osmosis (RO) 3,4 and thermal processes 5 are widely implemented in large-scale, industrialized desalination plants. However, large-scale plants consume a large amount of energy and involve high operating costs associated with infrastructure and skilled labour 6 , making them difficult to be implemented in developing countries and resource-limited areas.…”

“…Generally, the composite film consists of an ultra-thin barrier layer which is interfacially polymerized on top of a porous substrate layer. The physicochemical properties of ultra-thin barrier layer, hence, are an important factor determining the membrane separation efficiencies [2][3][4].…”

“…Existe uma vasta gama de membranas desenvolvidas para o tratamento de água salgada e para a produção de água doce a partir de água com diferentes salinidades. Hoje em dia, os processos de membranas mais utilizados no tratamento de água salina são a osmose inversa (Misdan et al, 2012) e a nanofiltração (AlTaee e Sharif, 2011). No entanto, o processo de osmose inversa apresenta várias vantagens, mostrando ser uma tecnologia atrativa para a separação do conteúdo salino dos efluentes, devido à sua confiabilidade, à sua elevada taxa de recuperação de água e de rejeição de sal e à sua capacidade de tratar uma ampla gama de concentrações de água do mar (Al-Mutaz, 1996; Peñate e García-Rodriguez, 2012).…”
