Modification of membrane hydrophobicity in membrane contactors for environmental remediation

Membrane contactor is a well-developed, eco-friendly and waste-free technology that has been the subject of interest in both gas separation and water treatment. Despite the feasibility and advantages, one of the inherent issues with membrane contactor is the wetting of membrane which eventually lead...
