Completion Date: 1998 - abandoned
Objectives:
Membrane technology has received considerable attention as an effective
alternative drinking water treatment process. However, major physical and
chemical parameters affect membrane performance.
The viability of membrane separation techniques as an advanced
alternative technology for drinking water treatment, desalination of
sea and brackish water and for renovation of effluents is being evaluated,
including the performance of new selective membranes and the fouling
of the anion exchange membrane in ED systems.
Progress:
