Abstract
γ-Valerolactone (GVL) was selected as a renewable green solvent to prepare membranes via the process of phase inversion. Water and ethanol were screened as sustainable non-solvents to prepare membranes for nanofiltration (NF). Scanning electron microscopy was applied to check the membrane morphology, while aqueous rose Bengal (RB) and magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) feed solutions were used to screen performance. Cellulose acetate (CA), polyimide (PI), cellulose triacetate (CTA), polyethersulfone (PES) and polysulfone (PSU) membranes were fine-tuned as materials for preparation of NF-membranes, either by selecting a suitable non-solvent for phase inversion or by increasing the polymer concentration in the casting solution. The best membranes were prepared with CTA in GVL using water as non-solvent: with increasing CTA concentration (10 wt% to 17.5 wt%) in the casting solution, permeance decreased from 15.9 to 5.5 L/m2·h·bar while RB rejection remained higher than 94%. The polymer solubilities in GVL were rationalized using Hansen solubility parameters, while membrane performances and morphologies were linked to viscosity measurements and cloudpoint determination of the casting solutions to better understand the kinetic and thermodynamic aspects of the phase inversion process.

Abstract
Organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) has been recognized as an eco-friendly separation system owing to its excellent cost and energy saving efficiency, easy scale-up in the narrow area and mild operation conditions. Membrane properties are the key part in terms of determining the separation efficiency in the OSN system. In this review paper, the recently reported OSN thin-film composite (TFC) membranes were investigated to understand insight of membrane materials and performance. Especially, we highlighted the representative study concepts and materials of the selective layer of OSN TFC membranes for non-polar solvents. The proper choice of monomers and additives for the selective layer forms much more interconnected voids and the enhanced microporosity, which can improve membrane performance of the OSN TFC membrane with reducing the transport resistance. Therefore, this review paper could be an important bridge to connect with the next-generation OSN TFC membranes for non-polar solvents.

Abstract
Membranes with a wave pattern on the membrane surface are now proposed for the first time to alleviate microalgal fouling and increase the membrane flux. The membrane morphology was observed via scanning electron microscope, and the clean water permeance, microalgae harvesting efficiency and membrane flux in a real broth were determined to investigate the effects of polysulfone (PSF) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) concentrations in the membrane casting solution. Furthermore, the influence of the height of the patterned waves and the inter-pattern distance on the fouling prevention were investigated. Higher PSF and PEG concentrations resulted in better pronounced patterns. Patterned membrane showed higher fluxes and critical pressures than the corresponding flat membranes. Larger patterns gave higher membrane fluxes and less fouling. Computational fluid dynamics simulation showed a higher velocity and shear on the pattern apexes.

Abstract
It was shown for the first time that the conditions of thermal treatment of the casting solution significantly affect the morphology and transport properties of porous, flat, and hollow fiber polysulfone (PSf) membranes. It is ascertained that the main solution components that are subjected to thermo-oxidative destruction are the pore-forming agent polyethylene glycol (PEG) and solvent N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). It is proved that hydroxyl groups of PEG actively react in the process of the casting solution thermo-oxidative destruction. It is shown that despite the chemical conversion taking place in the casting solution, their stability towards coagulation virtually does not change. The differences in the membrane morphology associated with the increase of thermal treatment time at 120 °C are not connected to the thermodynamic properties of the casting solutions, but with the kinetics of the phase separation. It is revealed that the change of morphology and transport properties of membranes is connected with the increase of the casting solution viscosity. The rise of solution viscosity resulted in the slowdown of the phase separation and formation of a more densely packed membrane structure with less pronounced macropores. It is determined experimentally that with the increase of casting solution thermal treatment time, the membrane selective layer thickness increases. This leads to the decrease of gas permeance and the rise of the He/CO2 selectivity for flat and hollow fiber membranes. In the case of hollow fibers, the fall of gas permeance is also connected with the appearance of the sponge-like layer at the outer surface of membranes. The increase of selectivity and decline of permeance indicates the reduction of selective layer pore size and its densification, which agrees well with the calculation results of the average membrane density. The results obtained are relevant to any polymeric casting solution containing NMP and/or PEG and treated at temperatures above 60 °C.

Abstract
The effect of three different diphenols including 1,1′-thiobis(2-naphthol) (TBN), 2,2′-thiobis(4-methyl phenol) (TBMP) and curcumin (CUR) used in the preparation of sulfonated poly(ether sulfide sulfone) (SPESS) on the mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties of polysulfone (PSf) membranes was studied. In this regard, the morphological characteristics of the nanoporous membranes were explored by developed image analyzer program. Based on the obtained results, PSf membrane modified by SPESS-TBN copolymer showed the best nominal tensile strength in comparison to the other samples with the value of 206 MPa. The optimum real tensile strength with the value of 322 MPa was observed for SPESS-TBMP membrane. It was found that the addition of SPESS, improved the mechanical and thermal properties as well as the performance of membranes. Inspections of scanning electron microscopic images for evaluation of the void properties of membranes revealed that there were 42.3, 8.76, 41.45 and 15.92% of void contents within the structures of neat PSf membrane, SPESS-CUR, SPESS-TBMP and SPESS-TBN, respectively. Moreover, some conceptual relations between morphological and mechanical properties were presented. Finally, the effect of the membrane chemical structure on the mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties was discussed in this study.

Abstract
Mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) composed of polyimide (PI) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were synthesized using Matrimid as the polymer and zirconium terephthalate UiO-66 as the filler. The modulation approach, combined with the use of amine-functionalized linkers, was used for synthesis of the MOF fillers in order to enhance the intrinsic separation performance of the MOF and improve the particle-PI compatibility. The presence of amine groups on the MOF outer surface introduced either through the linker, through the modulator, or through both led to covalent linking between the fillers and Matrimid, which resulted in very stable membranes. In addition, the presence of amine groups inside the pores of the MOFs and the presence of linker vacancies inside the MOFs positively influenced CO2 transport. MMMs with 30 wt % loading showed excellent separation performance for CO2/CH4 mixtures. A significant increase in the mixed-gas selectivity (47.7) and permeability (19.4 barrer) compared to the unfilled Matrimid membrane (i.e., 50% more selective and 540% more permeable) was thus achieved for the MMM containing the MOF prepared from 2-aminoterephthalic acid and 4-aminobenzoic acid, respectively used as the linker and as the modulator.
