Abstract
Numerous investigations have focused on creating effective membranes for desalination in order to alleviate the water scarcity crisis. In this study, first, LDH nanoplates were synthesized and utilized to alter the surface of thin-film composite (TFC) membranes in the course of this investigation. Following that, a simple technique was used to produce a novel nanocomposite incorporating LDH layers and Na14(P2W18Co4O70)·28H2O polyoxometalate nanoparticles, resulting in the creation of a fresh variety of thin-film nanocomposite (TFN). The performance of all of the membranes acquired was examined in the process of forward osmosis (FO). The impact of the compounds that were prepared was assessed on the hydrophilicity, topology, chemical structure, and morphology of the active layer of polyamide (PA) through analysis methods such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), FTIR spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and water contact angle (WCA) goniometry. After evaluating the outcomes of both modified membrane types, it was observed that the membrane equipped with the nanocomposite modifier at a concentration of 0.01 wt % exhibited the highest water flux, measuring 46.6 LMH and selectivity of 0.23 g/L. This membrane was thus considered the best option. Furthermore, the membrane's ability to prevent fouling was examined, and the findings revealed an enhancement in its resistance to fouling in comparison to the filler-free membrane.

Abstract
Novel thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes modified by the MoS2@Zeolite X nanocomposite were made and studied for desalination by the forward osmosis (FO) method. Herein, MoS2@Zeolite X nanocomposite (MoS2@Z) and zeolite X particles are integrated into the polyamide (PA) selective layer of the TFN membranes, separately. The aim of this study is the synthesis of nanocomposites containing hydrophilic zeolite X particles with a modified surface and pore and improvement of their effective properties on desalination and antifouling performance. For this purpose, MoS2 nanosheets with a high hydrophilicity were selected. The existence of polymer-matrix-compatible MoS2@Z inside the PA active layer caused the formation of a defect-free smooth surface with further channels within this layer that could increase the water flux and fouling resistance of the TFN membranes. The TFN-MZ2 membrane (containing 0.01 wt % MoS2@Z) showed the top desalination performance in the FO process. In contrast to the pristine thin-film composite (TFC) and TFN-Z2 membrane (containing 0.025 wt % zeolite X, the most optimal membrane among the zeolite-modified membranes), its water flux has increased by 2.6 and 1.8 times, respectively. Furthermore, in the fouling test, this optimal TFN-MZ2 membrane with a flux decrement of 19.6% revealed an ∼2.2- and 1.8-fold enhancement in antifouling tendency compared to the TFC and TFN-Z2, respectively. Also, based on the antibiofouling test, the water flux drop of 48.6% for the TFC membrane has reached 36.9% for the optimal membrane. Hence, this high-performance TFN-MZ2 membrane shows good capability for commercial employment in FO desalination application.

Synthesizing Various Organic Polyacid Compounds for Modifying Forward Osmosis Membranes to Enhance Separation Performance. MEMBRANES 2021; 11:membranes11080597.

Abstract
In order to overcome the challenges of low permeate flux (Jp) and the accompanying reverse solute flux (JS) during the forward osmosis (FO) membrane separation process, we synthesized four hybrid materials of polyacid-based organic compounds and incorporated them into the selective polyamide (PA) layer to make novel thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) FO membranes. The Jp and JS of each membrane were evaluated and used along with membrane selectivity (Jp/JS) as indicators of membrane separation performance. The fabricated and modified membranes were also characterized for ridge and valley surface morphologies with increasing hydrophilicity and finger-shaped parallel channels in the PSf substrate. Moreover, two highly hydrophilic nanoparticles of graphene oxide (GO) and titanium oxide (TiO2) were introduced with the hybrid materials for PA modification, which can further enhance the Jp of the TFN membranes. The highest Jp of the TFN membranes achieved 12.1 L/m2-h using 0.1% curcumin-acetoguanamine @ cerium polyacid (CATCP) and 0.0175% GO. The characteristic peaks of the hybrid materials were detected on the membrane surface using attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, evidencing successful incorporation of the hybrid materials during membrane modification. Here, we present the novel TFN membranes using hybrid materials for separation applications. The reactions for synthesizing the hybrid materials and for incorporating them with PA layer are proposed.

Abstract
A polyamide composite forward osmosis (FO) hollow fiber membrane was successfully prepared with a novel copoly(phthalazinone biphenyl ether sulfone) (PPBES) polymer. Effects of different additives including ethylene glycol methyl ether (EGME) and lithium chloride anhydrous (LiCl) in the dope solution on the morphologies and properties of PPBES support membranes and composite FO hollow fiber membranes were investigated. With the increase of EGME content in the dope solution, the water flux of PPBES support membranes and FO hollow fiber membranes decreased. When LiCl was added into the dope solution, the water flux of FO hollow fiber membranes improved significantly with the increase of LiCl content. Additionally, the FO performance of the PPBES membrane was further optimized by adding triethylamine (TEA) in the interfacial polymerization (IP) process. In comparison with other FO membranes, the novel PPBES composite FO hollow fiber membrane displayed a remarkably high water flux of 45.3 L/m2 h and a low specific reverse salt flux of 0.15 g/L.
