Abstract :
Biofouling prevention is a critical challenge in the membrane-based water and wastewater treatment process. Carbon-based nanomaterials which are having exceptional physical, chemical, and electrical properties bring new technologies for addressing biofouling. This paper highlights the novel membrane developments using carbon-based nanomaterials and their potential applications for anti-biofouling technology and its recent cutting-edge developments. Finally, this review also outlines future opportunities for carbon-nanomaterial application in environmental systems.
