Improving environmental quality and achieving a circular economy require developing
wastewater resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) under stringent discharge standards. As a …

Membranes offer a scalable and cost-effective approach to ion separations for lithium
recovery. In the case of salt-lake brines, however, the high feed salinity and low pH of the …

Salt permeability of polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membranes has been shown to
increase with increasing feed salt concentration. The dependence of salt permeability on …

While polyamide reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes have been extensively
utilized in water purification and desalination processes, the molecular details governing …

Water and ion transport in salt-rejecting membranes, such as nanofiltration (NF) and reverse
osmosis (RO), are exposed to different hindrance effects that result in selectivity between …

Recent insights into the permeation of small ions through polyamide membranes highlighted
the role of ion dehydration in the transport and selectivity observed. However, such insights …

Abstract Reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration (NF), and ion exchange (IX) membranes are
becoming increasingly important in water treatment, waste recovery, industrial product …

Thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes are emerging water-purification membranes that
could provide enhanced water permeance with similar solute removal over traditional thin …

Background The nanofiltration membrane plays an important role in wastewater treatment
and desalination. Fabricating the hydrophilic separation layer is a good way to construct …

A primary goal in the design of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes is to improve water-solute
selectivity and water permeance. These transport properties are commonly calculated in the …
