Effects of membrane degradation on the removal of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) by NF/RO filtration processes
TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of hypochlorite exposure to the membrane separation processes were ascertained by comparing the rejection of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) by virgin and chlorine-exposed membranes.

Effects of caustic cleaning on pore size of nanofiltration membranes and their rejection of trace organic chemicals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the impact of caustic cleaning on the rejection of three groups of trace organic chemical (TrOC) (neutral hydrophilic, neutral hydrophobic and negatively charged) by two nanofiltration (NF) membranes.

Influence of formulated chemical cleaning reagents on the surface properties and separation efficiency of nanofiltrationmembranes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of two caustic and one acidic cleaning formulations (namely MC11, PC98, and MC3, respectively) on the properties and separation efficiency of three different nanofiltration (NF) membranes.

Changes in surface properties and separation efficiency of a nanofiltration membrane after repeated fouling and chemical cleaning cycles
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the changes in membrane surface properties and solute separation by a nanofiltration membrane during repetitive membrane fouling and chemical cleaning and found that caustic cleaning was effective at controlling membrane foulings and membrane permeability recovery was slightly more than 100%.

Effects of chemical cleaning on the nanofiltration of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs)
TL;DR: It is hypothesised that chemical cleaning may alter the porosity of the polymeric matrix and even the hydrophilicity within the membrane active layer, and caustic cleaning led to an increase in the membrane permeability while acidic cleaning produced the opposite effect.
