Abstract
This study invents a post-pyrolysis modification approach to render the resulting carbon membrane (CM) competent for organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN). A bitumen coating on a porous stainless-steel disk (PSD) serves as the precursor for the intended carbon membrane (CM), which is attained through pyrolysis in Ar. The bitumen coating casts dual-pore networks in the CM because of the dominant asphaltene constituent in bitumen. The subsequent chemical decoration of CM was pursued through the following protocol: dopamine (DA) was deployed in the nanopores of CM via pressurized infiltration and followed by Tris buffer passes through to trigger in situ conversion of DA to polydopamine (PDA), which was affixed over the pore walls to furnish chemical affinity (termed as CMPDA). Additionally, the catechol moiety of PDA was arranged to chelate with the Zn2+ ion, aiming to trim the -OH anchor (termed as CMPDA-Zn) to probe the effect of chelate on separation. The three membranes (CM, CMPDA, and CMPDA-Zn) were thereafter assessed by the separation of ethanol or isopropanol from phenolics [tannic acid (TA)/tetracycline (TC)]. A significantly improved OSN performance [rejection (%) ↔ permeance (L/(m2·h·bar))] of CM vs CMPDA was observed: (i) for TA feed, 13% ↔ 85 L/(m2·h·bar) vs 83% ↔ 12 L/(m2·h·bar); and (ii) for TC feed, 20% ↔ 78 L/(m2·h·bar) vs 78% ↔ 12 L/(m2·h·bar). Compared to CMPDA, CMPDA-Zn further advances the rejection performance (∼89% for TA and ∼80% for TC) over 50 h separation. They are benchmarked by the latest literature results. The performance enhancements can be attributed to the spreading of PDA or PDA-Zn sites in the dual-pore networks, so that they are able to offer H-bonding and steric blocking roles, a chemicomechanical effect, to seize solute molecules over pore walls. It is this interfacial drag effect that sustains the solute rejection.

Abstract
To increase the performance efficiency and decrease the costs for organic dye wastewater purification, two fibrous adsorbents based on polymeric salicyl active esters were developed by means of a simple two-step approach. For the first time, salicyl-based active ester polymers were electrospun into fibrous membranes and subsequently postmodified with the desired functional groups under simple and mild reaction conditions. The morphology of the produced fibrous adsorbents was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the surface properties were analyzed by nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms and contact angle measurements, and the completeness of the postmodification process was determined by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and elemental analyses. The adsorbents were further tested for their adsorption and selectivity performance of different organic dyes as well as for their recyclability. To explore the adsorption mechanism, four kinetic models and three isotherm models were used to analyze the adsorption data. The results indicated that the fibrous adsorbents showed an extremely high adsorption capacity for the anionic dye methyl blue. The fibrous adsorbents were also able to selectively adsorb anionic dyes from a mixture of anionic and cationic dyes, and they could be recycled at least 10 times. The simple and cost-efficient development process of these fibrous adsorbents and their excellent performance make them promising materials for further research and application in the area of water treatment.

Abstract
Trace anionic dyes in wastewater are difficult to be rapidly and efficiently removed because they are completely soluble and poorly biodegradable. Herein, a facile and environmentally friendly adsorbent was fabricated via the surface functioned SiO2 with abundant amine groups of polyethyleneimine (PEI). The structural characterization indicated that PEI was successfully immobilized on the SiO2 surface. The adsorption performance of SiO2-PEI was evaluated using acid orange II (AOII) as model pollutant. The adsorption of AOII on SiO2-PEI displayed high removal rates in the pH range of 2.0-9.0, and exhibited ultrafast removal (99.1% removal rate at 10 min). The adsorption behavior fitted well with the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the maximum uptake capability of AOII was higher than 705.3 mg/g. The excellent adsorption capacity of AOII on SiO2-PEI mainly relied on the electrostatic attraction between the sulfonic acid group of AOII and amine group of PEI in the adsorption process. Additionally, other anionic dyes like acid fuchsin and direct sky blue 5B could also be fast and efficiently removed by SiO2-PEI. This work is expected to open new possibilities for the ultrafast removal of anionic dye pollutants.

Abstract
Silicalite-1 (S-1) zeolite membrane synthesized by seed method with superior features attracts intensive attentions, while the influences of key parameters during synthesis process and its applications for organics removal require further investigation. This study revealed the morphology and the structure of the prepared membranes under different crystallization temperatures and seed concentrations by using a suite of characterization methods. The as-prepared membrane under optimal condition (crystallization temperature of 175 °C and seed concentration of 1.0 wt. %) possessed high membrane integrity, with ideal separation factor of 4.0. It also exhibited outstanding performance for organics removal, with dyes retention of 99.9% and 99.2% for 500 mg L-1 neutral red and 500 mg L-1 methyl blue, respectively. Excellent antifouling property of the synthesized membrane was also proved. Results of this work can guide the characteristic improvement of the S-1 zeolite membrane by adjusting key parameters and broaden its applications in dye wastewater treatment.
