Abstract
Producing drinkable water is a major issue due to pollution and limited availability of fresh water. Membrane-based desalination is an efficient method to produce drinkable water from saline water and wastewater. Nonetheless, this method is limited by membrane fouling. Deposited foulants cause lower production flux and increase the cost. Hence, recent research has aimed to improve membrane antifouling properties. Here we review fouling-resistant membranes with focus on the membrane fouling phenomena; enhancement of interfacial polymerization procedures and assortment of new initiating monomers; modifying the membrane surface using physical and chemical methods; fabrication of composite membranes using inorganic materials; and modification with zwitterionic materials.
