Lithium mining is energy intensive and environmentally costly. This is because lithium ions
are typically present in brines as a minor component mixed with physiochemically similar …

Separations are core processes in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Several
steps of fractionation and purification of multicomponent mixtures are required. Membrane …

Strengthened surface modification via bio-safety and eco-friendly agent requirements, and
the development of the antibacterial anion exchange membrane (AEM) has become crucial …

Zirconium-based metal–organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) gradually stand out among the large
family of MOFs due to exceptional water stability, abundant structure categories, and well …

We extend the classical Flory-Rehner theory for the expansion and compression of porous
materials such as cross-linked polymer networks and membranes. The theory includes …

Constructing interlayers has proven highly efficacious in augmenting the performance of
polyamide (PA) NF membranes. However, the fabrication of highly-permeable interlayered …

This work investigates the compaction and relaxation behavior of composite reverse
osmosis (RO) polyamide (PA) selective layers, utilizing non-equilibrium molecular dynamic …

Organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) is an emerging membrane technology that could
revolutionize chemical separations in numerous vital industries. Despite its significance …

It is the goal of membrane science to continuously overcome the trade-off between
