High Performance Thin Film Nanofibrous Composite Membrane for Organic Solvent Nanofiltration KU Leuven
Traditional polymeric membranes are confronted with several challenges including limited water flux and salt selectivity. Progresses in nanotechnology provide opportunities to design energy-efficient membranes for water desalination. Nano materials with special properties play a significant role in nanocomposite membrane performance for enhanced water flux and salt rejection. Well designed porous nanomaterials and layered nanosheets are ...
Flexible Aliphatic-Aromatic Polyamide Thin Film Composite Membrane for Highly Efficient Organic Solvent Nanofiltration KU Leuven
Membranes with strong solvent resistance and efficient molecular separation are desirable in industries. Especially the fractionation of organic molecules in harsh organic solvents still remains a challenge in the pharmaceutical industry. Here, we report a flexible aliphatic-aromatic polyamide thin-film composite (TFC) membrane with high stability, permeability, and precise selectivity in mild solvents as well as in polar aprotic solvents. This ...
