Membrane separation properties are constrained by a tradeoff relationship between
permeability and selectivity. This tradeoff relationship has been well established for gas …

Inorganic salts are generated in nearly all chemical and allied industrial manufacturing
processes; however, most existing wastewater treatment technologies and environmental …

The successful implementation of thin-film composite membranes (TFCM) for challenging
solute-solute separations in the pharmaceutical industry requires a fine control over the …

Conventional thin-film composite (TFC) membranes suffer from the trade-off relationship
between permeability and selectivity, known as the “upper bound”. In this work, we report a …

Interfacial polymerization (IP) and self-assembly are two thermodynamically different
processes involving an interface in their systems. When the two systems are incorporated …

Sulfonated multiwall carbon nanotube (SMWCNT) with pendant alkyl sulfonic acid groups
was synthesized from hydroxyl-functionalized multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT-OH) …

Loose nanofiltration (LNF) membrane with exclusively high dye rejection and inorganic salt
permeation are remarkable method to treatment dye/salt wastewater for the achievement of …

It is crucial for fractionating dye/salt mixture in dyeing wastewater treatment. Herein, a
polyamide nanofiltration (NF) membrane (PEA-TMC) for high efficient dye desalination was …

Advanced membranes with high water flux, excellent salt selectivity as well as superior
fouling resistance are highly demanded in water desalination and water treatment. Herein, a …

In order to integrate the advantages of polyamide thin film composite (TFC) nanofiltration
(NF) membranes and that of polyester TFC NF membranes, a novel polyesteramide (PEA) …
