To improve the pervaporation performance of polyamide membrane, thin-film composite (TFC) polyamide membranes were prepared through the interfacial polymerization between m-phenylenediamine (MPDA) or ...

Forward osmosis (FO), an emerging membrane-based technology, possesses low energy consumption and low membrane fouling potential, but the lack of high-performance FO membrane hinders the large-scale ...

A research team has developed robust reverse osmosis membranes that can endure large-scale water desalination. To meet the demand of potable water at low cost, more robust membranes capable of ...

A new post-modification strategy has been proposed by a research group led by Prof. WAN Yinhua from the Institute of Process Engineering (IPE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, aiming to achieve ...

In search of a better way to desalinate water, a Yale-led team of researchers has turned to swimsuit material for inspiration. Reverse osmosis, which uses membranes to remove unwanted salts, has been ...
