METHOD FOR INCREASING THE FOULING RESISTANCE OF INORGANIC MEMBRANES BY GRAFTING WITH ORGANIC MOIETIES

摘要

Provided herein are filtration membranes for water treatment, and methods for preventing fouling of such membranes. The method described herein comprises grafting the membrane surface with an organic moiety, by reacting the surface with an organometallic reagent, a phosphonate, a phosphinate, or an organosilane.
