Effects of chlorine exposure on physiochemical properties and performance of polyamide membranes

In nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) processes, membranes are prone to biofouling and need to be cleaned periodically using oxidizing biocides, including the most widely used chlorine in different forms. The polyamide-based (PA) separation layer of thin film composite (TFC) membranes can...
