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

Brine, also known as concentrate, is the by-product of the desalination process that has an
adverse impact on the environment due to its high salinity. Hence, viable and cost-effective …

In recent decades, nanofiltration (NF) is considered as a promising separation technique to
produce drinking water from different types of water source. In this paper, we …

In this work, antifouling thin-film composite (TFC) nanofiltration (NF) membrane having
zwitterionic PEI moieties was fabricated through the layer-by-layer interfacial polymerization …

Freshwater scarcity is one of the grand challenges that has posed threats to the global
economy, societal stability and ecosystem balance. Desalination has been long recognized …

The management and treatment of brine (saline wastewater) are of great importance, as its
discharge to the environment poses a significant threat. A new strategy called minimal liquid …

The extraction of valuable target ions through monovalent cation exchange membranes
(MCEMs) has been increasingly attracting in modern energy and environmental fields …

Mono/multivalent cation separation techniques have shown increasing importance in
diverse environmental and energy applications. The separation performance of emerging …

Polymeric membranes are widely applied in water and wastewater treatment. During
membrane filtration, membrane hydrophilicity is essential for both membrane flux and …

Various wounds caused by burns, trauma, surgery, and genetic irregularities, including
