Surface micro-patterning as a promising platform towards novel polyamide thin-film composite membranes of superior performance
Ibrahim M.A. ElSherbiny,Ibrahim M.A. ElSherbiny,Ahmed S. G. Khalil,Ahmed S. G. Khalil,Ahmed S. G. Khalil,Mathias Ulbricht +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, micro-patterned polyamide (PA) thin-film composite (TFC) membranes are successfully fabricated using two microfabrication methods, combined processes of vapor-and non-solvent-induced phase separation micro-molding, as well as micro-imprinting lithography.

Aquafoldmer-Based Aquaporin-like Synthetic Water Channel.
Jie Shen,Ruijuan Ye,Alyssa Romanies,Arundhati Roy,Feng Chen,Changliang Ren,Zhiwei Liu,Huaqiang Zeng +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a 20% enlargement in angstrom-scale pore volume could effect a remarkable enhancement in macroscopic water transport profile by 15 folds, which gives rise to a powerful synthetic water channel able to transport water at a speed of 3 x 109 H2O•s-1•channel-1 with high rejection of NaCl and KCl.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salt separation from water using graphene oxide nanochannels: A molecular dynamics simulation study
TL;DR: In this article, molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to elucidate the filtration efficiency and water structure in GO nanochannels of varying oxidation degree (from 0% to 40%) and interlayer spacing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential of electrodialytic techniques in brackish desalination and recovery of industrial process water for reuse
Alexander M. Lopez,Meaghan Williams,Maira Paiva,Dmytro Demydov,Thien Duc Do,Julian L. Fairey,Yupo J. Lin,Jamie A. Hestekin +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of traditional electrodialysis as well as electrodeionization for the removal of contaminant ions from brackish water and samples from industrial sources was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly hydrophilic and antifouling nanofiltration membrane incorporated with water-dispersible composite activated carbon/chitosan nanoparticles
E. Bagheripour,Abdolreza Moghadassi,Sayed Mohsen Hosseini,M.B. Ray,Fahime Parvizian,B. Van der Bruggen,B. Van der Bruggen +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, composite activated carbon/chitosan nanoparticles (ACh) were synthesized by dipping and incorporated into poly(ether)sulfone (PES) based nanofiltration membranes, to investigate their effect on the membrane properties and performance.
