Theoretical Evaluation of MOF Coated Membranes for Water Treatment

Abstract

Employing MOFs in water reclamation filtration membranes is the focal point here, with a basic discussion of the permeability, selectivity trade-off and membrane fouling. The principal configurations of MOF based filtering membranes, along with their production procedures will be discussed. Likewise, their effect on the performance of filtration membranes will subsequently be highlighted, with MOF-boosted antifouling membranes, highly permeable membranes, adsorptive membranes and catalytic membranes being illustrated sequentially. The objectives of the research will be to:• Analyse the different water treatment stages • Identify the components of the water treatment method that determine performance • Realising opportunities for the application of MOF in different stages or elements of water treatment
