Which outcome occurs when highly charged ions accumulate excessively near a desalination membrane?

💡 Explanation

Membrane scaling increases because electrostatic attraction concentrates ions beyond solubility limits, forming precipitates via ionic bonding. Therefore, scaling occurs rather than flux increase because precipitation fouls the membrane, restricting water passage.
