Effect of polymaleic acid and microwave radiations on reverse osmosis membrane's performance and properties: A response surface methodology approach
Ashfaq, Mohammad Y.; Al-Ghouti, Mohammad A. ( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Polymaleic acid was tested for its ability to control inorganic fouling in reverse osmosis (RO) system for the first time as a membrane surface modifier. Using the design of experiments (DoE) based on the response surface ... -
Evaluating the effect of antiscalants on membrane biofouling using FTIR and multivariate analysis
Ashfaq, Mohammad Y.; Al-Ghouti, Mohammad A.; Qiblawey, Hazim; Zouari, Nabil ( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)A combination of Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, multivariate analysis and conventional microbiological assays were utilized to characterize and differentiate membrane biofouling formed in the presence of ... -
Investigating the effect of polymer-modified graphene oxide coating on RO membrane fouling
Ashfaq, Mohammad Y.; Al-Ghouti, Mohammad A.; Zouari, Nabil ( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)The development of novel reverse osmosis (RO) membranes resistant to multiple types of fouling is a need to secure clean water production and meet rising water demands. In this paper, the RO membrane surface-functionalized ... -
