PDMS-coated porous PVDF hollow fiber membranes for efficient recovery of dissolved biomethane from anaerobic effluents by Sethunga, Godakooru Sethunga Mudiyanselage Dilhara Prebhashwari, Karahan, Huseyin Enis, Wang, Rong, Bae, Tae-Hyun

“…The adjustment of the concentration of PDMS precursor mix could effectively serve for tuning the performance characteristics of MC membranes and helped suppress membrane wetting, a major performance-reducing factor. Despite their denser skin layers, the lumen-modified membranes demonstrated superior dCH4 recovery flux. …”

Dissecting the structure-compaction-performance relationship of thin-film composite polyamide membranes with different structure features by Zhao, Yali, Lai, Gwo Sung, Chong, Jeng Yi, Wang, Rong

“…On the other hand, the TFC membrane with a PA layer of low protuberances formed atop a loose substrate showed a greater decrease (∼18.5%) in water permeability. The densified skin layer and collapsed macro-voids within the loose substrate resulted in a ∼40% decrease in the overall height of the PA layer and a 65% decline in substrate surface porosity, respectively, which are identified as the reasons for the reducing water permeability. …”

Fabrication of organic solvent nanofiltration membranes with graphene oxide - enhanced covalent organic framework via interfacial polymerization by Oor, Jia Zheng, Ong, Chi Siang, Tan, Yong Zen, Chew, Jia Wei

“…Unfortunately, the common thin film composite (TFC) - based organic solvent nanofiltration membranes often give low solvent permeance due to the dense skin layer atop the substrate. To address this, we fabricated a covalent organic framework (COF) - incorporated TFC membrane through the in-situ formation of benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxaldehyde (TFB) and graphene oxide (GO) in p-Cymene, a less toxic solvent, with p-Phenylenediamine (PPD) in aqueous phase via interfacial polymerization. …”
