    This study examined the performance of nanofiltration membranes to retain atrazine and dimethoate in aqueous solution under different pH conditions. Four nanofiltration membranes, NF90, NF200, NF270 and DK are selected to be examined. The operating pressure, feed pesticide and stirring rate were kept constant at 6x10(5) Pa, 10 mg/L and 1000 rpm. It was found that increasing the solution's pH increased atrazine and dimethoate rejection but reduced the permeate flux performance for NF200, NF270 and DK. However, NF90 showed somewhat consistent performance in both rejection and permeate flux regardless of the solution's pH. NF90 maintained above 90% of atrazine rejection and approximately 80% of dimethoate rejection regardless of the changes in solution's pH. Thus, NF90 is deemed the more suitable nanofiltration membrane for atrazine and dimethoate retention from aqueous solution compared to NF200, NF270 and DK.
