Reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes commonly adopt a thin film composite
(TFC) structure featuring a polyamide rejection layer formed on a porous substrate. Recent …

Polyamide (PA) thin-film composite (TFC) reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF)
membranes are the core elements for the membrane-based desalination technologies …

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

Composite separation membranes are essential in the fields of water treatment, mass
concentration, purification, solvent exchange, gas separation, energy storage and …

Traditional polyamide-based interfacial polymerized nanofiltration (NF) membranes exhibit
upper bound features between water permeance and salt selectivity. Breaking the limits of …

The specific separation properties of nanofiltration (NF) membranes lead to their application
in water treatment, resource recovery, food processing, and chemical and pharmaceutical …

In this paper, we review various novel/modified interfacial polymerization (IP) techniques for
the fabrication of polyamide (PA) thin film composite (TFC)/thin film nanocomposite (TFN) …

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is rarely used as substrate membrane for thin film composite
polyamide (PA) nanofiltration (NF) membrane due to its hydrophobic surface pushes water …

The potential toxicity of heavy metals arising from the discharge of industrial wastewater has
become a serious public concern. Fabrication of a thin film composite (TFC) NF membrane …

Nanofiltration (NF) membranes are commonly supplied in spiral-wound modules, resulting
in numerous drawbacks for practical applications (eg, high operating pressure/pressure …
