Abstract	Lack of clean water resources is a grand issue in modern society [1,2]. Water desalination represents a real solution to produce clean water for human consumption and industrial sectors [3]. Because of its high efficiency, reverse osmosis (RO) is considered as the most important desalination technology [4,5]. Thin film nanocomposite membrane has become a frequently selected RO membrane [6].This membrane is prepared by interfacial polymerization (IP) process and incorporation of nanoparticles into polyamide (PA) active layer with the aim of improving membrane characteristics including the hydrophilicity and surface charge. The term TFN membrane was first introduced by Hoek and his coworkers in 2007 [7]. In their work, they used zeolite NaA nanoparticles as filler in PA active layer during interfacial polymerization between m-phenylenediamine (MPD) and trimesoyl Chloride (TMC). Remarkable enhancement in water flux was achieved by embedding zeolite NaA nanoparticle without sacrificing membrane separation efficiency. This improvement was ascribed to hydrophilic property of zeolite nanoparticles which facilitate water solubilization and diffusion through the membrane.
