| Abstract | The availability of clean water has become a critical problems facing the society due to pollution by human activities. Most regions in the world have high demands for clean water. Supplies for freshwater are under pressure. Water reuse is a potential solution for clean water scarcity. A pressure-driven membrane process such as nanofiltration has become the main component of advanced water reuse and desalination systems. High rejection and water permeability of solutes are the major characteristics that make nanofiltration membranes economically feasible for water purification. Recent advances include the prediction of membrane performances under different operating conditions. Here, we review the characterization of nanofiltration membranes by methods such as scanning electron microscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Advances show that the solute rejection and permeation performance of nanofiltration membranes are controlled by the composition of the casting solution of the active layer, cross-linking agent concentration, preparation method, and operating conditions. The solute rejection depends strongly on the solute type, which includes charge valency, diffusion coefficient, and hydration energy. We also review the analysis of the surface roughness, the nodule size, and the pore size of nanofiltration membranes. We also present a new concept for membrane characterization by quantitative analysis of phase images to elucidate the macro-molecular packing at the membrane surface. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
