Recent developments in chemical techniques for foulant removal from NF membranes

Nanofiltration (NF) membranes find extensive use in many fields such as food processing, water treatment, and resource recovery due to their exceptional capacity to selectively separate small solutes and exhibit high permeability to water. Nonetheless, the occurrence of membrane fouling is an unavoi...
