Recently, the number and occurrence of potentially hazardous micropollutants (MPs) in surface water has raised as a result of increased economic activity and the usage of pharmaceuticals and other substances in society. The presence of these organic anthropogenic compounds represents a risk for human health; therefore, achieving efficient removal of MPs from surface water is crucial for the production of safe drinking water. The aim of this project is to develop a comprehensive physical-chemical model for micropollutant (MP) removal using nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) systems. The model will provide a better process understanding and aims to contribute to the design of water treatment processes.
