Article Synopsis
- Nanofiltration (NF) is an effective method for purifying drinking water by removing Natural Organic Matter (NOM) and organic micropollutants, though the mechanisms of removal are still not well understood.
- The study focused on how the pesticide Endosulfan (ES) interacts with humic acids (HA) in the presence of two different NF membranes, revealing that both complex formation (ES-HA interactions) and HA-membrane interactions influence ES retention differently under varying conditions.
- The results showed that increased HA concentration enhances ES retention through complex formation, particularly at acidic pH, while HA-membrane interactions can reduce ES retention at higher pH levels, indicating a complex balance of factors affecting purification efficiency.
