Surface Treatment of Polymer Membranes for Effective Biofouling Control

Vinita Vishwakarma,
Jaya Kandasamy,
Saravanamuthu Vigneswaran

Abstract: Membrane biofouling is the consequence of the deposition of microorganisms on polymer membrane surfaces. Polymeric membranes have garnered more attention for filtering and purifying water because of their ease of handling, low cost, effortless surface modification, and mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties. The sizes of the pores in the membranes enable micro- and nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, and reverse osmosis. Commonly used polymers for water filter membranes are polyvinyl chloride (PVA), polyvin… Show more
