Abstract
High-quality thin-film composite (TFC) membranes with high selectivity and permeability have great significance owing to their practical applications, specifically for the accurate differentiation of monovalent and divalent ions. However, the trade-off effect between selectivity and permeability is still a big challenge due to the difficult structure adjustment of the selective layer. Herein, polydopamine (PDA) functionalized with a hydrophobic long alkane chain was first explored as a functional amphiphilic interlayer to synthesize high-quality TFC membranes via a confined interfacial polymerization (IP) reaction. The amphiphilic interlayer not only restricted the formation of the polyamide (PA) matrix in the pores of the substrate but also accelerated spatially more homogeneous polymerization and formed a PA active layer with a more uniform pore size distribution. The method may provide an effective principle for the construction of versatile polyamide-based membranes with high perm-selectivity on various supports. The NaCl/Na2SO4 separation factor of the D-8/PA membrane reached as high as 204.07, while the flux increased up to 25.71 L m-2 h-1 bar-1. This progress provides a more feasible way for the construction of high-quality TFC membranes with a devisable and creative amphiphilic interlayer for industrial application.

Abstract
Two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with uniform pores and large surface areas are ideal candidates for constructing advanced molecular sieving membranes. However, a fabrication strategy to synthesize a free-standing COF membrane with a high permselectivity has not been fully explored yet. Herein, we prepared a free-standing TpPa-SO3H COF membrane with vertically aligned one-dimensional nanochannels. The introduction of the sulfonic acid groups on the COF membrane provides abundant negative charge sites in its pore wall, which achieve a high water flux and an excellent sieving performance toward water-soluble drugs and dyes with different charges and sizes. Furthermore, the COF membrane exhibited long-term stability, fouling resistance, and recyclability in rejection performance. We envisage that this work provides new insights into the effect of ionic ligands on the design of a broad range of COF membranes for advanced separation applications.

Abstract
High-efficiency dye desalination is crucial in the textile industry, considering its importance for human health, safe aquatic ecological systems, and resource recovery. In order to solve the problem of effective separation of univalent salt and ionic dye under the condition of high salt, ionic hyperbranched poly(amido-amine) (HBPs) were synthesized based on a simple and scalable one-step polycondensation method and then incorporated into the polyamide (PA) selective layers to construct charged nanochannels through interfacial polymerization (IP) on the surface of a polyvinyl chloride ultrafiltration (PVC-UF) hollow fiber membrane. Both the internal nanopores of HBPs (internal nanochannels) and the interfacial voids between HBPs and the PA matrix (external nanochannels) can be regarded as a fast water molecule transport pathway, while the terminal ionic groups of ionic HBPs endow the nanochannels with charge characteristics for improving ionic dye/salt selectivities. The permeate fluxes and dye/salt selectivities of HBP-TAC/PIP (57.3 L m-2 h-1 and rhodamine B (RB)/NaCl selectivity of 224.0) and HBP-PS/PIP (63.7 L m-2 h-1 and lemon yellow (LY)/NaCl selectivity of 664.0) membranes under 0.4 MPa operation pressure are much higher than PIP-only and HBP-NH2/PIP membranes. At the same time, this project also studied the membrane desalination process in a simulated high-salinity dye/salt mixture system to provide a theoretical basis and technical support for the actual dye desalination process.

Abstract
Recently, more and more attention has been paid to the construction of stimulus-responsive aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs) for the extraction and separation of various bioactive compounds. In this work, an ATPS based on a pH-responsive polymeric deep eutectic solvent (PDES) and phosphate salt was constructed for the first time. The pH-response properties of the PDES were studied through a series of experiments. Additionally, the phase formation mechanism was studied through experiments and simulations. This novel PDES-based ATPS was used to extract aromatic amino acids (AAAs). The extraction efficiencies for tyrosine (Tyr), phenylalanine (Phe), and tryptophan (Trp) reached 95.25%, 99.05%, and 99.10%, respectively. By adjusting pH, PDES was recycled and reused. This novel and recyclable PDES-based ATPS could be an efficient method for the extraction of AAAs, which could also be applied used as a versatile and sustainable method for the extraction of other bioactive compounds in the future.

Abstract
Polymeric nanomaterials, which have tuneable chemical structures, versatile functionalities, and good compatibility with polymeric matrices, have attracted increasing interest from researchers for the construction of polymeric nano-based separation membranes. With their distinctive nanofeatures, polymeric nano-based membranes show great promise in overcoming bottlenecks in polymer membranes, namely, the trade-off between permeability and selectivity, low stability, and fouling issues. Accordingly, recent studies have focused on tuning the structures and tailoring the surface properties of polymeric nano-based membranes via exploitation of membrane fabrication techniques and surface modification strategies, with the objective of pushing the performance of polymeric nano-based membranes to a new level. In this review, first, the approaches for fabricating polymeric nano-based mixed matrix membranes and homogeneous membranes are summarized, such as surface coating, phase inversion, interfacial polymerization, and self-assembly methods. Next, the manipulation strategies of membrane surface properties, namely, the hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, charge characteristics, and surface roughness, and interior microstructural properties, namely, the pore size and content, channel construction and regulation, are comprehensively discussed. Subsequently, the separation performances of liquid ions/molecules and gas molecules through polymeric nano-based membranes are systematically reported. Finally, we conclude this review with an overview of various unsolved scientific and technical challenges that are associated with new opportunities in the development of advanced polymeric nano-based membranes.

Recuperative Amino Acids Separation through Cellulose Derivative Membranes with Microporous Polypropylene Fiber Matrix. MEMBRANES 2021; 11:membranes11060429.

Abstract
The separation, concentration and transport of the amino acids through membranes have been continuously developed due to the multitude of interest amino acids of interest and the sources from which they must be recovered. At the same time, the types of membranes used in the sepa-ration of the amino acids are the most diverse: liquids, ion exchangers, inorganic, polymeric or composites. This paper addresses the recuperative separation of three amino acids (alanine, phe-nylalanine, and methionine) using membranes from cellulosic derivatives in polypropylene ma-trix. The microfiltration membranes (polypropylene hollow fibers) were impregnated with solu-tions of some cellulosic derivatives: cellulose acetate, 2-hydroxyethyl-cellulose, methyl 2-hydroxyethyl-celluloseand sodium carboxymethyl-cellulose. The obtained membranes were characterized in terms of the separation performance of the amino acids considered (retention, flux, and selectivity) and from a morphological and structural point of view: scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high resolution SEM (HR-SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA). The re-sults obtained show that phenylalanine has the highest fluxes through all four types of mem-branes, followed by methionine and alanine. Of the four kinds of membrane, the most suitable for recuperative separation of the considered amino acids are those based on cellulose acetate and methyl 2-hydroxyethyl-cellulose.

Abstract
Separating low/high-valent ions with sub-nanometer sizes is a crucial yet challenging task in various areas (e.g., within environmental, healthcare, chemical, and energy engineering). Satisfying high separation precision requires membranes with exceptionally high selectivity. One way to realize this is constructing well-designed ion-selective nanochannels in pressure-driven membranes where the separation mechanism relies on combined steric, dielectric exclusion, and Donnan effects. To this aim, charged nanochannels in polyamide (PA) membranes are created by incorporating ionic polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers via interfacial polymerization. Both sub-10 nm sizes of the ionic PAMAM dendrimer molecules and their gradient distributions in the PA nanofilms contribute to the successful formation of defect-free PA nanofilms, containing both internal (intramolecular voids) and external (interfacial voids between the ionic PAMAM dendrimers and the PA matrix) nanochannels for fast transport of water molecules. The external nanochannels with tunable ionizable groups endow the PA membranes with both high low/high-valent co-ion selectivity and chemical cleaning tolerance, while the ion sieving/transport mechanism was analyzed by employing the Donnan steric pore model with dielectric exclusion.
