Spraying makes it smoother Commercial reverse osmosis processes for water desalination use membranes made by the polymerization of polyamide at oil/water interface. Chowdhury et al. show that thinner, can be with an electrospray technique. Using high voltage, two precursors are finely sprayed onto a substrate and polymerize on contact. The composition resulting membrane tuned basis proportion components. At optimum conditions, appear to better than current commercial membranes. Science ,...
Abstract Osmotically‐driven membrane processes, such as forward osmosis and pressure retarded osmosis, operate on the principle of osmotic transport water across a semipermeable from dilute feed solution into concentrated draw solution. The major hindrance to permeate flux performance is prevalence concentration polarization both sides membrane. This article evaluates external internal boundary layers, which decrease effective driving force. By modeling performance, role that concentrations,...
Engineered osmosis (e.g., forward osmosis, pressure-retarded direct osmosis) has emerged as a new platform for applications to water production, sustainable energy, and resource recovery. The lack of an adequately designed membrane been the major challenge that hinders engineered (EO) development. In this study, nanotechnology integrated with science build next generation osmosis. Specifically, hydrophilic nanofiber, fabricated from different blends polyacrylonitrile cellulose acetate via...
Polymer membranes perform innumerable separations with far-reaching environmental implications. Despite decades of research, design new membrane materials remains a largely Edisonian process. To address this shortcoming, we demonstrate generalizable, accurate machine learning (ML) implementation for the discovery innovative polymers ideal performance. Specifically, multitask ML models are trained on experimental data to link polymer chemistry gas permeabilities He, H2, O2, N2, CO2, and CH4....
Materials discovery alone has not translated into lower-cost water treatment.
Abstract Electrospinning is a fiber spinning technique used to produce nanoscale polymeric fibers with superior interconnectivity and specific surface area. The diameter, morphology, mechanical strength are important properties of electrospun that can be tuned for diverse applications. In this study, the authors investigate how humidity during electrospinning influences these mat. Using two previously uninvestigated polymers, poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN) polysulfone (PSU) dissolved in N ,...
