    Short review on solvent resistance nanofiltration membranes for the treatment of waste water
    (2022-08) Agboola O.; Fayomi O. S. I.; Sadiku R.; Popoola A. P. I; Adegbola A. T.; Moropeng I.; Oyebanji J. A.; Oluwasegun K. M.
    With the potential wastewater generated in modern chemical industries, separation of organic at more extreme conditions is inevitable. On the account of finding a sustainable and effective separation, the preparation of solvent-resistant Nanofiltration (SRNF) membranes appeared to be a promising solution. In this review, a short overview on SRNF and its benefits was given. We highlighted the efforts made in using SRNF for some industrial applications like bio-refinery and petrochemical. The performance evaluation of SRNF for different applications was also discussed, briefly. Factors responsible for the Stability of SRNF membrane and classification of SRNF Membranes were also discussed.

    Performance of mixed matrix nanofiltration membranes in wastewater treatment: A review
    (International Conference on Engineering for Sustainable World (IOP Publishing), 2021) Agboola O.; Fayomi O.S.I.; Oni B.A.; Ayeni A.O.; Sadiku E.R.; Popoola A.P.I.; Moropeng I.; Adegbola S.T.; Daramola D.
    Water covered close to 70% of the Earth’s surface; however, it is a struggle to access 3% of it as freshwater, suitable for human intake. The shortage of water has become a global issue due to climate change, pollution and the demand of growing freshwater. The fabrication of high performance and antifouling nanofiltration membranes are of utmost importance as a result of their capability of treating contaminated water and to also regulate the quality of freshwater. However, there is need for improvement in the fabrication of membrane using different nanofillers to produce mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). Mixed matrix nanofiltration membranes with nanofillers were reviewed for different applications
