Pollution of water sources with emerging contaminants (micropollutants) is a fact known worldwide. Although the risks of micropollutants in sources of water are partly recognized, interpretation of consequences are controversial; thus, the future effects of altered water with micropollutants remains uncertain and may constitute a point of concern.
This work investigates the efficacy of nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes in removing emerging organic contaminants from water sources. The author, Victor Augusto Yangali Quintanilla, utilizes experimental data and mathematical modeling to evaluate how membrane fouling impacts the rejection performance of these systems. The text provides a technical framework for understanding the physical and chemical interactions between micropollutants and membrane surfaces, ultimately assessing the viability of these technologies for sustainable water reuse applications.
What You Will Find
Experts in environmental engineering recognize this work as a specialized technical resource for researchers and practitioners in water treatment. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose and the rigorous focus on membrane science and filtration dynamics.
