What Challenges Are Associated with Nanotechnology in Membrane Filtration?
Despite its advantages, there are challenges to consider:
- Manufacturing Complexity: Producing nanomaterials and integrating them into membranes can be complex and costly. - Potential Risks: The long-term environmental and health impacts of nanomaterials are not fully understood, raising concerns about their widespread use. - Fouling: Membrane fouling, where particles clog the membrane, remains a challenge, though nanotechnology can help mitigate this issue.
