Abstract
Layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes (PEs) is usually performed on a conventional ultrafiltration base substrate (negative zeta potential) by depositing a cationic PE as a first layer. Herein, we report the facile and fast formation of high performance molecular selective membrane by the nonelectrostatic adsorption of anionic PE on the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF, zeta potential -17 mV) substrate followed by the electrostatic LbL assembly. Loose nanofiltration membranes have been prepared via both concentration-polarization (CP-LbL, under applied pressure) driven and conventional (C-LbL, dipping) LbL self-assembly. When the first layer is poly(styrene sodium) sulfonic acid, the LbL assembled membrane contains free -SO3- groups and exhibits higher rejection of Na2SO4 and lower rejection of MgCl2. The reversal of salt rejection occurs when the first layer is quaternized polyvinyl imidazole (PVIm-Me). The membrane (five layers) prepared by first depositing PStSO3Na shows higher rejection of several dyes (97.9 to >99.9%), higher NaCl to dye separation factor (52-1800), and higher dye antifouling performance as compared to the membrane prepared by first depositing PVIm-Me (97.5-99.5% dye rejection, separation factor ∼40-200). However, the C-LbL membrane requires a longer time of self-assembly or higher PE concentration to reach a performance close to the CP-LbL membranes. The membranes exhibit excellent pressure, pH (3-12), and salt (60 g L-1) stability. This work provides an insight for the construction of low fouling and high-performance membranes for the fractionation of dye and salt based on the LbL self-assembly sequence.

MEMBRANES 2023; 13:368.

Abstract
The increasing demand for nanofiltration processes in drinking water treatment, industrial separation and wastewater treatment processes has highlighted several shortcomings of current state-of-the-art thin film composite (TFC NF) membranes, including limitations in chemical resistance, fouling resistance and selectivity. Polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) membranes provide a viable, industrially applicable alternative, providing significant improvements in these limitations. Laboratory experiments using artificial feedwaters have demonstrated selectivity an order of magnitude higher than polyamide NF, significantly higher fouling resistance and excellent chemical resistance (e.g., 200,000 ppmh chlorine resistance and stability over the 0-14 pH range). This review provides a brief overview of the various parameters that can be modified during the layer-by-layer procedure to determine and fine-tune the properties of the resulting NF membrane. The different parameters that can be adjusted during the layer-by-layer process are presented, which are used to optimize the properties of the resulting nanofiltration membrane. Substantial progress in PEM membrane development is presented, particularly selectivity improvements, of which the most promising route seems to be asymmetric PEM NF membranes, offering a breakthrough in active layer thickness and organic/salt selectivity: an average of 98% micropollutant rejection coupled with a NaCl rejection below 15%. Advantages for wastewater treatment are highlighted, including high selectivity, fouling resistance, chemical stability and a wide range of cleaning methods. Additionally, disadvantages of the current PEM NF membranes are also outlined; while these may impede their use in some industrial wastewater applications, they are largely not restrictive. The effect of realistic feeds (wastewaters and challenging surface waters) on PEM NF membrane performance is also presented: pilot studies conducted for up to 12 months show stable rejection values and no significant irreversible fouling. We close our review by identifying research areas where further studies are needed to facilitate the adoption of this notable technology.

Abstract
Enzymatic membrane reactors equipped with multifunctional biocatalytic membranes are promising and sustainable alternatives for removal of micropollutants, including steroid estrogens, under mild conditions. Thus, in this study an effort was made to produce novel multifunctional biocatalytic polyelectrolyte multilayer membranes via polyelectrolyte layer-by-layer assembly with laccase enzyme immobilized between or into polyelectrolyte layers. In this study, multifunctional biocatalytic membranes are considered as systems composed of commercially available filtration membrane modified by polyelectrolytes and immobilized enzymes, which are produced for complex treatment of water pollutants. The multifunctionality of the proposed systems is related to the fact that these membranes are capable of micropollutants removal via simultaneous catalytic conversion, membrane adsorption and membrane rejection making remediation process more complex, however, also more efficient. Briefly, cationic poly-l-lysine and polyethylenimine as well as anionic poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) polyelectrolytes were deposited onto NP010 nanofiltration and UFX5 ultrafiltration membranes to produce systems for removal of 17α-ethynylestradiol. Images from scanning electron microscopy confirm effective enzyme deposition, whereas results of zeta potential measurements indicate introduction of positive charge onto the membranes. Based on preliminary results, four membranes with over 70%, activity retention produced using polyethylenimine in internal and entrapped mode, were selected for degradation tests. Systems based on UFX5 membrane allowed over 60% 17α-ethynylestradiol removal within 100 min, whereas NP010-based systems removed over 75% of estrogen within 150 min. Further, around 80% removal of 17α-ethynylestradiol was possible from the solutions at concentration up to 0.1 mg/L at pH ranging from 4 to 6 and at the pressure up to 3 bar, indicating high activity of the immobilized laccase over wide range of process conditions. Produced systems exhibited also great long-term stability followed by limited enzyme elution from the membrane. Finally, removal of over 70% and 60% of 17α-ethynylestradiol, respectively by NP010 and UFX5 systems after 8 cycles of repeated use indicate high reusability potential of the systems and suggest their practical application in removal of micropollutants, including estrogens.

Abstract
Pectic substances cause haziness and high viscosity of fruit juices. Pectinase enzymes are biological compounds that degrade pectic compounds. Nontoxicity and ecofriendly nature make pectinases excellent biocatalysts for juice clarification. However, the poor stability and nonreusability of pectinases trim down the effectiveness of the operation. The immobilization techniques have gained the attention of researchers as it augments the properties of the enzymes. Literature has reported the stability improvement of enzymes like lipase, laccase, hydrogen peroxidase, and cellulase upon immobilization on the membrane. However, only a few research articles divulge pectinase immobilization using a membrane. The catalysis-separation synergy of membrane-reactor has put indelible imprints in industrial applications. Immobilization of pectinase on the membrane can enhance its performance in juice processing. This review delineates the importance of physicochemical and kinematic properties of pectinases relating to the juice processing parameters. It also includes the influence of metal-ion cofactors on enzymes' activity. Considering the support and catalytic-separation facets of the membrane, the prediction of the membrane as support for pectinase immobilization has also been carried out.

Abstract
Commercial nanofiltration membranes of different molecular weight cut-offs were tested on a pilot plant for the exploration of permeation nature of Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe, Na and ammonium ions. Correlation of transmembrane pressure and rejection quotient versus volumetric flux efficiency on nanofiltration membrane rejection and permeability behavior toward hydrated divalent and monovalent ions separation from the natural groundwater was observed. Membrane ion rejection affinity (MIRA) dimension was established as normalized TMP with regard to permeate solute moiety representing pressure value necessary for solute rejection change of 1%. Ion rejection coefficient (IRC) was introduced to evaluate the membrane rejection capability, and to indicate the prevailed nanofiltration partitioning mechanism near the membrane surface. Positive values of the IRC indicated satisfactory rejection efficiency of the membrane process and its negative values ensigned very low rejection affinity and high permeability of the membranes for the individual solutes. The TMP quotient and the efficiency of rejection for individual cations showed upward and downward trends along with flux utilization increase. Nanofiltration process was observed as an equilibrium. The higher the Gibbs free energy was, cation rejection was more exothermic and valuably enlarged. Low Gibbs free energy values circumferentially closer to endothermic zone indicated expressed ions permeation.

Abstract
Over the last few years, the list of water contaminants has grown tremendously due to many anthropogenic activities. Various conventional technologies are available for water and wastewater treatment. However, micropollutants of emerging concern (MEC) are posing a great threat due to their activity at trace concentration and poor removal efficiency by the conventional treatment processes. Advanced technology like membrane technology can remove MEC to some extent. However, issues like the different chemical properties of MEC, selectivity, and fouling of membranes can affect the removal efficiency. Moreover, the concentrate from the membrane filtration may need further treatment. Enzymatic degradation of pollutants and foulants is one of the green approaches for removing various contaminants from the water as well as mitigating membrane fouling. Biocatalytic membranes (BCMs), in which enzymes are immobilized on membranes, combines the advantages of membrane separation and enzymatic degradation. This review article discussed various commonly used enzymes in BCMs for removing MEC and fouling. The majorly used enzymes were oxidoreductases and hydrolases for removing MEC, antifouling, and self-cleaning ability. The various BCM synthesis processes based on entrapment, crosslinking, and binding have been summarized, along with the effects of the addition of the nanoparticles on the performances of the BCMs. The scale-up, commercial viability, challenges, and future direction for improving BCMs have been discussed and shown bright possibilities for these new generation membranes.

Abstract
The global society is in a transition, where dealing with climate change and water scarcity are important challenges. More efficient separations of chemical species are essential to reduce energy consumption and to provide more reliable access to clean water. Here, membranes with advanced functionalities that go beyond standard separation properties can play a key role. This includes relevant functionalities, such as stimuli-responsiveness, fouling control, stability, specific selectivity, sustainability, and antimicrobial activity. Polyelectrolytes and their complexes are an especially promising system to provide advanced membrane functionalities. Here, we have reviewed recent work where advanced membrane properties stem directly from the material properties provided by polyelectrolytes. This work highlights the versatility of polyelectrolyte-based membrane modifications, where polyelectrolytes are not only applied as single layers, including brushes, but also as more complex polyelectrolyte multilayers on both porous membrane supports and dense membranes. Moreover, free-standing membranes can also be produced completely from aqueous polyelectrolyte solutions allowing much more sustainable approaches to membrane fabrication. The Review demonstrates the promise that polyelectrolytes and their complexes hold for next-generation membranes with advanced properties, while it also provides a clear outlook on the future of this promising field.

Abstract
Nanofiltration (NF) with advantages of high efficiency and low-cost has attracted increasing attentions in bio-separation. However, the large-scale application is limited by the inferior molecular selectivity, low chemical stability and serious membrane fouling. Many efforts, thus, have been devoted in NF materials design for specific applications to enhance the separation efficiency of bio-products and increase membrane life-time, as well as reduce the operating cost. This review summarized the recent progress of NF applications in bio-separation, discussed various demands for NF membrane in the bio-products purification and corresponding material innovations, finally proposed several practical suggestions for future research, which provided directions and guidance toward further product development and process industrialization.

Abstract
Layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly is a versatile technology to construct multifunctional nanomaterials using various supporting substrates, enabled by the large selection freedom of building materials and diversity of possible driving forces. The fine regulation over the film thickness and structure provides an elegant way to tune the physical/chemical properties by mild assembly conditions (e.g. pH, ion strength). In this review, we focus on LbL in nanochannels, which exhibit a different growth mechanism compared to "open", convex substrates. The assembly mechanism in nanochannels is discussed in detail, followed by the summary of applications of LbL assemblies liberated from nanochannel templates which can be used as nanoreactors, drug carriers and transporting channels across cell membranes. For fluidic applications, robust membrane substrates are required to keep in place nanotube arrays for membrane-based separation, purification, biosensing and energy harvesting, which are also discussed. The good compatibility of LbL with crossover technologies from other fields allows researchers to further extend this technology to a broader range of research fields, which is expected to result in an increased number of applications of LbL technology in the future.

Abstract
The main objective of this study is to examine how the charge densities of four monovalent anions-fluoride (F-), chloride (Cl-), bromide (Br-), and nitrate (NO3-)-influence their Donnan (charge) exclusion by a charged nanofiltration (NF) membrane. We systematically studied the rejection behavior of ternary ion solutions containing sodium cation (Na+) and two of the monovalent anions as a function of the pH with a polyamide NF membrane. In the solutions containing F- and Cl- or F- and Br-, F- rejection was higher than Cl- or Br- rejection only when the solution pH was higher than 5.5, suggesting that F- (which has a higher charge density) was repelled more strongly by the negatively charged membrane. The order of change in the activation energy for the transport of the four anions through the polyamide membrane as a response to the increase of the membrane negative charge was the following: F- > Cl- > NO3- > Br-. This order corroborates our main hypothesis that an anion with a smaller ionic radius, and hence a higher charge density, is more affected by the Donnan (charge)-exclusion mechanism in NF. We conclude with a proposed mechanism for the role of ionic charge density in the rejection of monovalent anions in NF.
