Antifouling nanofiltration membranes for (waste)water treatment

Development of an efficient antifouling grafting to enhance the applicability of ceramic nanofiltration membranes in water treatment. To support the developed technology perspectives, a proper techno economical evaluation both for drinking water production and difficult waste waters processing is in progress. The acquired knowledge from this study is valuable to steer further research for understanding the fouling behavior of membranes by others types of foulants and to develop adequate antifouling strategies, enhancing the industrial applicability of (ceramic) NF membranes.
