Abstract
This study presents a novel and environmentally friendly method for producing cellulose microspheres (CM) with controllable morphology and size using electrostatic droplets. The traditional droplet method for CM production requires complex equipment and harmful reagents. In contrast, the proposed method offers a simple electrostatic droplet approach to fabricate CM10 at 10 kV, which exhibited a smaller volume, linear microscopic morphology, and a larger specific surface area, with a 36.60 % improvement compared to CM0 (prepared at 0 kV). CM10 also demonstrated excellent underwater structural stability, recovering in just 0.5 s, and exhibited the highest adsorption capacity for Cr(VI) at 190.16 mg/g, a 72.15 % improvement over CM0. This enhanced adsorption capacity can be attributed to the unique structure of CM10 and the introduction of more amino groups. Moreover, CM10 displayed good cyclic adsorption capacity and high dynamic adsorption efficiency, making it highly suitable for practical applications. CM10 exhibited remarkable adsorption capacity, stability, and practical value in treating Cr(VI) wastewater. This work proposes a simple and eco-friendly method for producing CM with excellent structural controllability and stability, providing an effective route for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The recent advancements in fabricating forward osmosis (FO) membranes have shown promising results in desalination and water treatment. Different methods have been applied to improve FO performance, such as using mixed or new draw solutions, enhancing the recovery of draw solutions, membrane modification, and developing FO-hybrid systems. However, reliable methods to address the current issues, including reverse salt flux, fouling, and antibacterial activities, are still in progress. In recent decades, surface modification has been applied to different membrane processes, including FO membranes. Introducing nanochannels, bioparticles, new monomers, and hydrophilic-based materials to the surface layer of FO membranes has significantly impacted their performance and efficiency and resulted in better control over fouling and concentration polarization (CP) in these membranes. This review critically investigates the recent developments in FO membrane processes and fabrication techniques for FO surface-layer modification. In addition, this study focuses on the latest materials and structures used for the surface modification of FO membranes. Finally, the current challenges, gaps, and suggestions for future studies in this field have been discussed in detail.

Abstract
Thin-film composite (TFC) polyamide membranes have a wide range of applications in forward osmosis, but tuning the water flux remains a significant challenge due to concentration polarization. The generation of nano-sized voids within the polyamide rejection layer can change the roughness of the membrane. In this experiment, the micro-nano structure of the PA rejection layer was adjusted by adding sodium bicarbonate to the aqueous phase to generate nano-bubbles, and the changes of its roughness with the addition of sodium bicarbonate were systematically demonstrated. With the enhanced nano-bubbles, more and more blade-like and band-like features appeared on the PA layer, which could effectively reduce the reverse solute flux of the PA layer and improve the salt rejection of the FO membrane. The increase in roughness raised the area of the membrane surface, which led to a larger area for concentration polarization and reduced the water flux. This experiment demonstrated the variation of roughness and water flux, providing an effective idea for the preparation of high-performance FO membranes.

Abstract
Fabric-reinforced thin film composite (TFC) membranes exhibit outstanding mechanical durability over free-standing membranes for commercial applications. In this study, polyethylene glycol (PEG) was incorporated to modify the polysulfone (PSU) supported fabric-reinforced TFC membrane for forward osmosis (FO). The effects of PEG content and molecular weight on the structure, material property and FO performance of the membrane were investigated comprehensively, and the corresponding mechanisms were revealed. The membrane prepared by using 400 g/mol PEG exhibited better FO performances than those of membranes with 1000 and 2000 g/mol PEG, and 20 wt.% was demonstrated to be the optimal PEG content in the casting solution. The permselectivity of the membrane was further improved by reducing the PSU concentration. The optimal TFC-FO membrane had a water flux (Jw) of 25.0 LMH using deionized (DI) water feed and 1 M NaCl draw solution, and the specific reverse salt flux (Js/Jw) was as low as 0.12 g/L. The degree of internal concentration polarization (ICP) was significantly mitigated. The membrane behaved superior to the commercially available fabric-reinforced membranes. This work provides a simple and low-cost approach in the development TFC-FO membrane and shows great potential in the large-scale production for practical applications.

Abstract
Forward osmosis (FO) is an evolving membrane separation technology for water treatment and reclamation. However, FO water treatment technology is limited by factors such as concentration polarization, membrane fouling, and reverse solute flux. Therefore, it is of a great importance to prepare an efficient high-density porous membrane and to select an appropriate draw solute to reduce concentration polarization, membrane fouling, and reverse solute flux. This review aims to present a thorough evaluation of the advancement of different draw solutes and membranes with their effects on FO performance. NaCl is still widely used in a large number of studies, and several general draw solutes, such as organic-based and inorganic-based, are selected based on their osmotic pressure and water solubility. The selection criteria for reusable solutes, such as heat-recovered gaseous draw, magnetic field-recovered MNPs, and electrically or thermally-responsive hydrogel are primarily based on their industrial efficiency and energy requirements. CA membranes are resistant to chlorine degradation and are hydrophilic, while TFC/TFN exhibit a high inhibition of bio-adhesion and hydrolysis. AQPs are emerging membranes, due to proteins with complete retention capacity. Moreover, the development of the hybrid system combining FO with other energy or water treatment technologies is crucial to the sustainability of FO.

Abstract
Hydrogel composites with skin layer that allows fast and selective rejection of molecules possess high potential for numerous applications, including sample preconcentration for point-of-use detection and analysis. The stimuli-responsive hydrogels are particularly promising due to facile regenerability. However, poor adhesion of the skin layer due to swelling-degree difference during continuous swelling/deswelling of the hydrogel hinders its further development. In this work, a polyamide skin layer with strong adhesion was fabricated via gel-liquid interfacial polymerization (GLIP) of branched polyethyleneimine (PEI) with trimesoyl chloride (TMC) on a cross-linked N-isopropyl acrylamide hydrogel network containing dispersed poly sodium acrylate (PSA), while the traditional m-phenylenediamine (MPD)-TMC polyamide layer readily delaminates. We investigated the mechanistic design principle, which not only resulted in strong anchoring of the polyamide layer to the hydrogel surface but also enabled manipulation of the surface morphology, porosity, and surface charge by tailoring interfacial reaction conditions. The polyamide/hydrogel composite was able to withstand 100 cycles of swelling/deswelling without any delamination or a significant decrease in its rejection performance of the model dye, i.e., methylene blue. Regeneration can be done by deswelling the swollen beads at 60 °C, which also releases any loosely bound molecules together with absorbed water. This work provides insights into the development of a physically and chemically robust skin layer on various types of hydrogels for applications such as preconcentration, antifouling-coating, selective compound extraction, etc.

Abstract
Environmental remediation of heavy metals from wastewater is becoming popular area in the field of membrane technology. Heavy metals are toxic in nature and have ability to bioaccumulate in water bodies. In current study, zirconium-based metal organic frameworks (MOFs), that is, UiO-66 and UiO-66-SO3 H with a mean diameter of 200 nm were synthesized and intercalated into polyethersulfone (PES) substrate to fabricate thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes via an interfacial polymerization (IP) method. TFN membranes exhibit higher selectivity and permeability as compared to thin-film composite (TFC) membranes for heavy metals, such as cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg). Zirconium-based MOFs are highly stable in water and due to smaller pore size enhanced hydrophilicity of TFN membranes. In addition, TFN membrane with functionalized MOF (UiO-66-SO3 H) performed best as compared to TFC and TFN with UiO-66 MOF. The effect of loading of different weight percentages (wt%) of both MOFs for TFN membranes was also investigated. The TFN membranes with loading (0.2 wt%) of UiO-66-SO3 H displayed highest permeability of 9.57 LMH/bar and notable rejections of 90% and 87.7% toward Cd and Hg, respectively. To our best understanding, it is the first study of intercalating functionalized UiO-66-SO3 H in TFC membranes by IP and their application on heavy metals especially Cd and Hg.

Abstract
In this work, nanorods with high antibacterial properties were synthesized with silver acetate as the metal source and 2-aminoterephthalic acid as the organic linker and were then embedded into thin-film composite (TFC) membranes to amend their performance as well as to alleviate biofouling. Silver metal-organic framework (Ag-MOF) nanorods with a length smaller than 40 nm were incorporated within the polyamide thin selective layer of the membranes during interfacial polymerization. The interaction of the synthesized nanorods with the polyamide was favored because of the presence of amine-containing functional groups on the nanorod's surface. The results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy characterizations proved the presence of Ag-MOF nanorods in the selective layer of thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes. TFN membranes demonstrated improved water permeance, salt selectivity, and superior antibacterial properties. Specifically, the increased hydrophilicity and antibacterial potential of the TFN membranes led to a synergetic effect toward biofouling mitigation. The number of live bacteria attached to the surface of the neat TFC membrane decreased by more than 92% when a low amount of Ag-MOF nanorods (0.2 wt %) was applied. Following contact of the TFN membrane surface with Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, full inactivation, and degradation of bacteria cells were observed with microscopy, colony-forming unit tests, and disc inhibition zone analyses. This result translated to a negligible amount of the biofilm formed on the active layer. Indeed, the incorporation of Ag-MOF nanorods decreased the metal-ion release rate and therefore provided prolonged antibacterial performance.

Abstract
Nanofiltration membranes have evolved as a promising solution to tackle the clean water scarcity and wastewater treatment processes with their low energy requirement and environment friendly operating conditions. Thin film composite nanofiltration membranes with high permeability, and excellent antifouling and antibacterial properties are important component for wastewater treatment and clean drinking water production units. In the scope of this study, thin film composite nanofiltration membranes were fabricated using polyacrylonitrile (PAN) support and fast second interfacial polymerization modification methods by grafting polyethylene amine and zwitterionic sulfobutane methacrylate moieties. Chemical and physical alteration in structure of the membranes were characterized using methods like ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, XPS analysis, FESEM and AFM imaging. The effects of second interfacial polymerization to incorporate polyamide layer and ‘ion pair’ characteristics, in terms of water contact angle and surface charge analysis was investigated in correlation with nanofiltration performance. Furthermore, the membrane characteristics in terms of antifouling properties were evaluated using model protein foulants like bovine serum albumin and lysozyme. Antibacterial properties of the modified membranes were investigated using E. coli as model biofoulant. Overall, the effect of second interfacial polymerization without affecting the selectivity layer of nanofiltration membrane for their potential large-scale application was investigated in detail.

Abstract
High-performance chlorine-resistant thin-film composite (TFC) membranes with zwitterions were fabricated by in situ surface modification of polyamide with 2,6-diaminopyridine and the subsequential quaternization with 3-bromopropionic. The successful modification of the TFC polyamide surface with zwitterions was confirmed by various characterizations including surface chemistry, surface hydrophilicity, and surface charge. The transport performance of the membrane was measured in both of the cross-flow reverse osmosis (RO) and forward osmosis processes, and the results showed that the modified TFC membrane improved both of its water permeability and perm-selectivity with the increased A and A/ B ratios upon modification with zwitterions. The chlorination challenging experiments were performed to demonstrate that the modified membrane enhanced its chlorine resistance without affecting its salt rejection upon 16 000 ppm·h chlorination exposure. A chlorination mechanism study illustrated that the modified membrane with zwitterions could prevent the Orton rearrangement of the benzene ring of the polyamide layer. Importantly and excitingly, the optimal chlorinated TFC membrane with zwitterions achieved a very high water flux of 72.15 ± 2.55 LMH with 99.67 ± 0.09% of salt rejection in the cross-flow RO process under 15 bar.

Abstract
Membranes currently have a wide application in sewage treatment and water purification processes, in seawater desalination, and in various technological processes where high product purity is required. Deposition of an ultrathin skin layer of TFC (thin-film composite) and TFN (thin-film nanocomposite) onto the surface of membranes is discussed in this article. Their presence improves membrane properties such as retention of impurities and permeability. The aim of this paper is to present the current state of knowledge about the methods of preparing composite and nanocomposite membranes. The properties of the prepared TFC membranes can be modified by changing the type and concentration of the reacting monomers, and the physical conditions in which the membrane preparation process itself is carried out are also significant. Additionally, the properties of TFN membranes can be further modified with nanocomposites. The membranes are characterized by different properties not only because they have nanoparticles in their structure but also because their concentration and the way they are blended into the membrane structure were changed. This paper provides information on modifications of TFN membranes with nanoparticles, as well as modification by changes in polymerization reaction conditions and monomer concentration. Examples of the use of TFN and TFC membranes are also presented.

Abstract
A novel sulfaguanidine (SG)-modified polyamide thin-film composite (TFC) nanofiltration (NF) membrane was constructed by the strategy referred to as co-solvent assisted interfacial polymerization (CASIP), which involves the respective interfacial polymerization (IP) of piperazine (PIP) and SG with trimesoyl chloride (TMC) on porous polysulfone (PSf) supports. CASIP enables the formation of a defect-free thin dense active layer and favors higher water permeance up to 79.0 L m−2 h−1 with rejection above 98.3% for Na2SO4. The resulting PA membrane also demonstrates a high flux recovery ratio of nearly 98.9% to bovine serum albumin protein after being cleaned. More importantly, the current membrane shows excellent anti-adhesive and antimicrobial performances against Gram-negative Escherichia coli, Gram-positive Bacillus pumilus LDS.33 and Aspergillus parasiticus JFS. This promises great potential application of the PA membrane for practical water/wastewater treatment. The prospect of using the co-solvent mediated SG-modified layer as a next-generation anti-fouling/antimicrobial membrane is very encouraging. The resulting sulfaguanidine nanofiltration membrane demonstrates higher water permeance and better antifouling property. The membrane shows excellent anti-adhesive and antimicrobial performances against E. coli, B. pumilus LDS.33 and A. parasiticus JFS.![]()

Abstract
This work shows that incorporating highly compatible polyrhodanine nanoparticles (PRh-NPs) into a polyamide (PA) active layer allows for fabricating forward osmosis (FO) thin-film composite (TFC)-PRh membranes that have simultaneously improved antimicrobial, antifouling, and transport properties. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported study of its kind to this date. The presence of the PRh-NPs on the surface of the TFC-PRh membranes active layers is evaluated using FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM, and XPS. The microscopic interactions and their impact on the compatibility of the PRh-NPs with the PA chains were studied using molecular dynamics simulations. When tested in forward osmosis, the TFC-PRh-0.01 membrane (with 0.01 wt % PRh) shows significantly improved permeability and selectivity because of the small size and the high compatibility of the PRh-NPs with PA chains. For example, the TFC-PRh-0.01 membrane exhibits a FO water flux of 41 l/(m2·h), higher than a water flux of 34 l/(m2·h) for the pristine TFC membrane, when 1.5 molar NaCl was used as draw solution in the active-layer feed-solution mode. Moreover, the reverse solute flux of the TFC-PRh-0.01 membrane decreases to about 115 mmol/(m2·h) representing a 52% improvement in the reverse solute flux of this membrane in comparison to the pristine TFC membrane. The surfaces of the TFC-PRh membranes were found to be smoother and more hydrophilic than those of the pristine TFC membrane, providing improved antifouling properties confirmed by a flux decline of about 38% for the TFC-PRh-0.01 membranes against a flux decline of about 50% for the pristine TFC membrane when evaluated with a sodium alginate solution. The antimicrobial traits of the TFC-PRh-0.01 membrane evaluated using colony-forming units and fluorescence imaging indicate that the PRh-NPs hinder cell deposition on the TFC-PRh-0.01 membrane surface effectively, limiting biofilm formation.

Abstract
The organic solvent forward osmosis (OSFO) process can simultaneously concentrate the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and recover the organic solvents. Here we demonstrate and evaluate an OSFO process for solvent recovery. In this demonstration, OSFO was conducted in different solvents with different draw solutes. The OSFO process shows rejections >98% when recovering organic solvents from different feed solutions, even when the feed concentration is as high as 20 wt%. More importantly, all systems exhibit relatively low ratios of reverse solute flux to solvent flux, indicating that the adverse effects of using hazardous draw solutions could be minimized. Nevertheless, the use of non-hazardous draw solutes such as citric acid is highly recommended to remove any potential risk, and it has been demonstrated. Herein, the OSFO process is a promising technology for solvent recovery as it possesses a reasonable solvent flux, low reverse solute flux and requires no external pressure.
