Abstract Graphene‐based laminate membranes have been theoretically predicted to selectively transport ethanol from ethanol–water solution while blocking water. Here, robust angstrom‐channel graphene (ACGMs) fabricated by intercalating carbon sheets derived chitosan into thermally reduced oxide (GO) are reported. ACGMs with and continuous slit‐shaped pores (an average pore size of 3.9 Å) investigated for the dehydration ethanol. Surprisingly, only water permeates through in presence aqueous...
Membranes with well-designed pore distribution and surface properties have gained considerable attention in recent years due to their promising applications the field of aqueous organic solvent-based separation. Among plethora membrane materials, graphene oxide (GO) is one most materials taking account its excellent chemical resistance cheap scalable synthesis procedure. Although GO has been widely explored for various liquid-based since discovery, separation media using membranes started...
Abstract Polyamide (PA) membranes with a thin selective layer have been widely investigated for desalination and water treatment. Several modifications proposed over the years to tailor morphology of such film composite (TFC) by altering support and/or layers achieve superior performance. In this study, facile approach towards fabricating highly wrinkled has demonstrated through bio-inspired modification Y-type zeolites. Results showed that incorporating zeolites in smaller dimension (200...
Due to their stable chemical properties and complex structures, dyes are difficult be removed from water. Herein, a ZIF-67/SA@PVDF (ZSA3@PVDF) mixed matrix membrane has been fabricated by incorporating silicon aerogel (SA) zeolitic imidazolate framework material 67 (ZIF-67) nanoparticles in polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) for the removal degradation of The influence SA ZIF-67 on morphology structure was confirmed using scanning electron microscope (SEM) atomic force (AFM). In ZSA3@PVDF...
This paper proposes the use of monovalent selective electrodialysis technology to concentrate valuable sodium chloride (NaCl) component present in seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) brine for direct utilization chlor-alkali industry. To enhance selectivity, a polyamide layer was fabricated on commercial ion exchange membranes (IEMs) through interfacial polymerization (IP) piperazine (PIP) and 1,3,5-Benzenetricarbonyl (TMC). The IP-modified IEMs were characterized using various techniques...

Graphene based nanosheets have been widely used as building blocks for fabrication of superior separation membrane water processing. In particular, membranes made reduced graphene oxide (rGO) show better stability compared with (GO). However, densely stacked rGO often results in low flux. this study, cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) were incorporated into the laminates by vacuum filtration dilute GO/CNF solution and thermal reduction at 150 °C 1.5 h. The resulting rGO/CNF was treated oxygen...
Thin-film composite (TFC) structure has been widely employed in polymeric membrane fabrication to achieve superior performance for desalination and water treatment. In particular, TFC membranes with a thin active polyamide (PA) selective layer are proven offer improved permeability without compromising salt rejection. Several modifications TFCs have proposed over the years enhance their by altering selective, intermediate, or support layer. This study proposes modification of using...
