Rejection of Emerging Organic Contaminants by Nanofiltration

The demand for drinking water can lead many cities to implement indirect water reuse programs, where wastewater effluent becomes part of the drinking water sources. This title demonstrates nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) to be appropriate technologies for removing a large number of micropollutants from the water.
