Abstract
The article duplicates significant parts of an article that had already appeared in Desalination, 262/1-3 (2010) 273-279 10.1016/j.desal.2010.06.004. The authors have also plagiarized significant parts of an article that had appeared in the Journal of Membrane Science 179 (2000) 185-205 10.1016/S0376-7388(00)00515-9. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
