2. Greater physico-chemical integrity 3. Improved flux and solute rejections
The Approach...
Bacteria and organics respond to a host of membrane surface properties. A multi-variate approach is needed to identify which properties of membranes contribute to bio-organics adsorption.

Background...
Modern water treatment is rapidly becoming dependent on membranes.
Bio-organic fouling is the major problem with the current generation of membrane separations (Example = biofouling). Opportunities exist for innovation in the design of improved membrane materials for water purification.
-new materials (e.g., CPTC)
•Enhanced flux & solute rejection
-increased cross-linking; catalytic membranes
-More X-linking -Tri-amines, etc. -StereochemistryБайду номын сангаас-Other polymers?
