There are several types of membrane filtration techniques, each suited for different applications:
1. Microfiltration (MF): Removes particles ranging from 0.1 to 10 micrometers. 2. Ultrafiltration (UF): Filters particles between 0.01 to 0.1 micrometers. 3. Nanofiltration (NF): Targets particles in the range of 1 to 10 nanometers. 4. Reverse Osmosis (RO): Primarily used for desalination, filtering out particles smaller than 1 nanometer.
