Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There are more than 18000 desalination plants all over the world (estimated in 2015); of these, more than 65% are based on reverse osmosis, so we have a clear target in terms of fundamental science, research, and development.
In this Special Issue, authors are invited to submit reviews and original articles on the broad subject of reverse osmosis, ranging from barrier layer fundamentals and manufacture to the early detection of fouling, and from virus rejection to the fundamentals of colloidal interaction.
