Ceramic membrane as a pretreatment for reverse osmosis: Interaction between marine organic matter and metal oxides

Scaling and (bio)fouling phenomena can severely alter the performance of the reverse osmosis process during desalination of seawater. Pretreatments must be applied to efficiently remove particles, colloids, and also precursors of the organic fouling and biofouling. Ceramic membranes offer a lot of a...
