This book is a collation of articles published in the Special Issue "CESE-2019: Applications of Membranes" in the journal Sustainability. It contains a wide variety of topics such as the removal of trace organic contaminants using combined direct contact membrane distillation–UV photolysis; evaluating the feasibility of forward osmosis in diluting reverse osmosis concentrate; tailoring the effects of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in the separation and antifouling performance of thin-film composite polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane; enhancing the antibacterial properties of PVDF membrane by surface modification using TiO2 and silver nanoparticles; and reviews on membrane fouling in membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems and recent advances in the prediction of fouling in MBRs. The book is suitable for postgraduate students and researchers working in the field of membrane applications for treating aqueous solutions.

Technology: general issues --- History of engineering & technology --- membrane fouling --- influencing factors --- control method --- biofouling --- fertilizers --- flat sheet --- flux --- forward osmosis (FO) --- hollow fibre --- reverse osmosis (RO) --- polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (PVDF) --- titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2-NP) --- silver nanoparticles (AgNP) --- antibacterial property --- antifouling property --- photodegradation --- membrane distillation --- halide ions --- nitrate ions --- carbonate ions --- humic acid --- trace organic contaminants --- dip-coating --- dyes --- membrane --- nanocomposite --- polyvinylidene fluoride --- titanium dioxide --- artificial neural network --- mathematical model --- membrane bioreactor --- fouling prediction --- n/a
