Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Journal Issue on Ultrafiltration Membranes in Water Treatment addresses a rapidly growing area of water treatmet technology. Ultrafiltration membranes are used to separate small particles and disolved solutes based on size. The utilization of UF water treatment is used for feed pretreatment prior to desalination, wastewater treatment, and it is entrenched in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, as well as in food and beverage processing. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to predictive modeling of UF separations performance, novel approaches to synthesis of robust (and chemically resistant) UF membranes, UF membranes that overcome the selectivity–permeability tradeoff, low fouling UF membranes, self-adaptive operation of UF membranes, advanced coagulant dosing strategies, surface modification of UF membranes, module design, and tunning of UF membrane performance. This Special Issue will provide a comprehensive view of UF membranes and their unique place in water treatment. Original research papers are sought for this Special Issue, but critical and informative reviews will also be considered, subject to preapproval by the Editor of the Special Journal Issue of the proposed critical review.
