Boron nitride nanotube membranes outstrip carbon copies
One approach to improve the desalination process would be to design a more efficient membrane. Embedding nanotubes in the membrane is one area of research. Investigation of water transport through nanotubes in the past has primarily focused on carbon nanotubes, where the water has been found to flow extraordinarily fast in addition to rejecting salt…

Low-Biofouling Polypropylene Feedspacers for Reverse Osmosis Applications
Polypropylene (PP) is a commercial polymer that is ubiquitous in membrane filtration as feedspacer due to its high chemical stability, low cost and versatile properties. The goal of this project was to develop low-biofouling polypropylene reverse-osmosis (RO) feed spacers, which can be used for desalination, through the functionalization of PP with copper ions since copper…
