Abstract
We performed equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations to study the transport of water and hexane solvents through cyclodextrin(CD)-based membranes (α-/β-/γ-CD/TMC). Although it is known that water and hexane can permeate through the macrocyclic cavity, surprisingly, when it is present in the CD-based membrane (α-/β-/γ-CD/TMC), these solvents are not permeating through the CD cavity. Interactions between membrane functional group atoms with the water and hexane suggest that these solvents primarily permeate through the polar aggregate pores formed via ester-linkage rather than the CD cavity. Our observation reveals that both solvents can permeate through the membrane; however, the hexane flux was one order of magnitude lower than water flux. Our study suggests that further work is needed to confirm the functional significance of the macrocyclic cavity in solvent permeation and the existence of Janus pathways.

Abstract
The precise manipulation of the porous structure of the nanofiltration membrane is critical for unlocking enhanced separation efficiencies across various liquids and solutes. Ultrathin films of crosslinked macrocycles, specifically cyclodextrins (CDs), have drawn considerable attention in this area owing to their ability to facilitate precise molecular separation with high liquid permeance for both polar and non-polar liquids, resembling Janus membranes. However, the functional role of the intrinsic cavity of CD in liquid transport remains inadequately understood, demanding immediate attention in designing nanofiltration membranes. Here, the synthesis of polyester nanofilms derived from crosslinked β-CD, demonstrating remarkable Na2SO4 rejection (≈92 - 99.5%), high water permeance (≈4.4 - 37.4 Lm-2h-1bar-1), extremely low hexane permeance (<1 Lm-2h-1bar-1), and extremely high ratio (α > 500) of permeances for polar and non-polar liquids, is reported. Molecular simulations support the findings, indicating that neither the polar nor the non-polar liquids flow through the β-CD cavity in the nanofilm. Instead, liquid transport predominantly occurs through the 2.2 nm hydrophilic aggregate pores. This challenges the presumed functional role of macrocyclic cavities in liquid transport and raises questions about the existence of the Janus structure in nanofiltration membranes produced from the macrocyclic monomers.

Abstract
The separation of chiral drugs continues to pose a significant challenge. However, in recent years, the emergence of membrane-based chiral separation has shown promising effectiveness due to its environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and cost-effective characteristics. In this study, we prepared chiral composite membrane via interfacial polymerization (IP), utilizing β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and piperazine (PIP) as mixed monomers in the aqueous phase. The chiral separation process was facilitated by β-CD, serving as a chiral selective agent. The resulting membrane were characterized using SEM, FT-IR, and XPS. Subsequently, the chiral separation performance of the membrane for DL-tryptophan (Trp) was investigated. Lastly, the water flux, dye rejection, and stability of the membrane were also examined. The results showed that the optimized chiral PIP0.5β-CD0.5 membrane achieved an enantiomeric excess percentage (ee%) of 43.0% for D-Trp, with a solute flux of 66.18 nmol·cm-2·h-1, and maintained a good chiral separation stability. Additionally, the membrane demonstrated positive performance in the selective separation of mixed dyes, allowing for steady operation over a long period of time. This study offers fresh insights into membrane-based chiral separations.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COF) have desirable properties such as high porosity, low mass density, excellent heat resistance and regulatable structure, making them an ideal candidate for membrane material. Traditional methods for preparing covalent organic framework composite membranes, such as interfacial polymerization, vacuum filtration, and covalent organic framework abrasive coating. Stand-alone COF membranes produced by the above methods usually suffer from problems such as poor mechanical properties. Here, we fabricated high performance COF composite membranes by modified casting-precipitation-evaporation method. The designed composite membranes consisted of the ionic COF (iCOF) selective layer and the support layer are applied in dye/salt separation. The high permeability (∼ 68 L h-1 m-2 bar-1), high dyes rejection (97% for Rose Bengal), and low salts rejection (∼ 2.86% for NaCl) are achieved by the iCOF functional layer. The as-prepared composite membranes have a hydrophilic and highly smooth surface, making them have good anti-fouling performance. In addition, the rigid pore structure of iCOF selective layer endows the composite membranes with excellent stability, the composite membranes maintain original structure under high pressure (6 bar) and ultrasonic treatment (16 kHz for 60 min). This work may open up a novel path to fabricate iCOF composite membranes, which exhibit great potential in dye/salt separation.

Abstract
Polyester nanofiltration membranes highlight beneficial chlorine resistance, but their loose structures and negative charge result in poor cations retention precluding advanced use in cations separation. This work designs a new monomer (TET) containing "hydroxyl-ammonium" entities that confer dense structures and positive charge to polyester nanofiltration membranes. The TET monomer undergoes efficient interfacial polymerization with the trimesoyl chloride (TMC) monomer, and the resultant TET-TMC membranes feature one of the lowest molecular weight cut-offs (389 Da) and the highest zeta potential (4 mv, pH: 7) among all polyester nanofiltration membranes. The MgCl2 rejection of the TET-TMC membrane is 95.5%, significantly higher than state-of-the-art polyester nanofiltration membranes (<50%). The Li+ /Mg2+ separation performance of TET-TMC membrane is on par with cutting-edge polyamide membranes, while additionally, the membrane is stable against NaClO though polyamide membranes readily degrade. Thus the TET-TMC is the first polyester nanofiltration membrane for efficient cations separation.

Abstract
Cyclodextrin (CD) and its derivatives are receiving attention as a new-generation adsorbent for water pollution treatment due to their external hydrophilic and internal hydrophobic properties. Among types of CD, β-Cyclodextrin (βCD) has been a material of choice with a proven track record for a range of utilities in distinct domains, owing to its unique cage-like structural conformations and inclusion complex-forming ability, especially to mitigate emerging contaminants (ECs). This article outlines βCD composites in developing approaches of their melds and composites for purposes such as membranes for removal of the ECs in aqueous setups have been explored with emphasis on recent trends. Electrospinning has bestowed an entirely different viewpoint on polymeric materials, comprising βCD, in the framework of diverse functions across a multitude of niches. Besides, this article especially discusses βCD polymer composite membrane-based removal of contaminants such as pharmaceutical substances, endocrine disruptors chemicals, and dyes. Finally, in this article, the challenges and future directions of βCD-based adsorbents are discussed, which may shed light on pragmatic commercial applications of βCD polymer composite membranes.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) with unique cavity structures have been used as materials for nanofiltration membrane fabrications. In the present work, the activated CD (O-CD), oxidated by NaIO4, and polyethyleneimine (PEI) were co-deposited on a hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile support, post-treated by glycerol protection and heating treatment, to prepare nanofiltration membranes with low molecular weight cut-off (MWCO). As the cavities in CD present and the aldehyde groups introduced after oxidation, the O-CDs were expected to crosslink the PEI layer and provide extra permeating channels. The filtration experiments showed that the incorporation of O-CDs improved the permeances of the O-CD-PEI/HPAN nanofiltration membranes. The performance can be tailored by the control of the loading or the oxidation degree of the O-CD. At optimal conditions, the permeance increment was nearly double (from 9.2 to 21.1 Lm-2·h-1·bar-1). While the selectivity was without significant sacrifice, the rejection of PEG 200 remained around 90%. Meanwhile, the membrane stability was demonstrated by pro-longed filtratiing a PEG 200 aqueous solution. The constant permeance and rejection confirmed the O-CD-PEI/HPAN membranes were stable. The incorporation of activated CD in PEI offers a facile strategy to promote the permeance of PEI-based membranes.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins have been frequently used to fabricate membranes via interfacial polymerization (IP). However, the relatively low reactivity of pristine cyclodextrins often induces a lower cross-linking density and unsatisfactory separation performance. In this work, to introduce a highly active thiolated β-cyclodextrin (CD-SH) monomer into IP progress, we constructed a dense and porous poly(thioester) linkage on a commercial membrane surface with loose nanofiltration by IP of CD-SH and trimesoyl trichloride (TMC) as the monomer in an aqueous phase and organic phase separately for the first time. Furthermore, the reactivity of CD-SH has been fully demonstrated by the two-phase IP aiming at unmodified β-CD, a CD-SH/TMC freestanding membrane with a thicker interfacial layer and a smoother surface, and a PAN/CD-SH membrane with a narrow porous distribution. The composite membrane possessed superior separation performance for a high rejection (83.1-99.6%) of different anionic dyes and a low rejection (<20%) of salts, as well as a high-efficiency sieving ability of dye/dye and dye/salt mixtures. The membrane with a poly(thioester) selective layer could steadily operate in a long-term filtration test and exhibit great stability, chloride-resistance performance, and recyclability.

Abstract
The successful implementation of thin-film composite membranes (TFCM) for challenging solute-solute separations in the pharmaceutical industry requires a fine control over the microstructure (size, distribution, and connectivity of the free-volume elements) and thickness of the selective layer. For example, desalinating antibiotic streams requires highly interconnected free-volume elements of the right size to block antibiotics but allow the passage of salt ions and water. Here, we introduce stevioside, a plant-derived contorted glycoside, as a promising aqueous phase monomer for optimizing the microstructure of TFCM made via interfacial polymerization. The low diffusion rate and moderate reactivity of stevioside, together with its nonplanar and distorted conformation, produced thin selective layers with an ideal microporosity for antibiotic desalination. For example, an optimized 18-nm membrane exhibited an unprecedented combination of high water permeance (81.2 liter m-2 hour-1 bar-1), antibiotic desalination efficiency (NaCl/tetracycline separation factor of 11.4), antifouling performance, and chlorine resistance.

Abstract
Developing new membranes with both high selectivity and permeability is critical in membrane science since conventional membranes are often limited by the trade-off between selectivity and permeability. In recent years, the emergence of advanced materials with accurate structures at atomic or molecular scale, such as metal organic framework, covalent organic framework, graphene, has accelerated the development of membranes, which benefits the precision of membrane structures. In this review, current state-of-the-art membranes are first reviewed and classified into three different types according to the structures of their building blocks, including laminar structured membranes, framework structured membranes and channel structured membranes, followed by the performance and applications for representative separations (liquid separation and gas separation) of these precisely designed membranes. Last, the challenges and opportunities of these advanced membranes are also discussed.

Low-pressure thin-film composite nanofiltration membranes with enhanced selectivity and antifouling property for effective dye/salt separation. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 641:197-214. [PMID: 36933467 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.03.044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2023] [Revised: 02/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 03/14/2023]
Abstract
For better sustainable resource recovery and elevating the separation efficiency of dye/salt mixture, it is essential to develop an appropriate nanofiltration membrane for the treatment of textile dyeing wastewater containing relatively smaller molecule dyes. In this work, a novel composite polyamide-polyester nanofiltration membrane was fabricated by tailoring amino functionalized quantum dots (NGQDs) and β-cyclodextrin (CD). An in-situ interfacial polymerization occurred between the synthesized NGQDs-CD and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) on the modified multi-carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) substrate. The incorporation of NGQDs significantly elevated the rejection (increased by ∼ 45.08%) of the resultant membrane for small molecular dye (Methyl orange, MO) compared to the pristine CD membrane at low pressure (1.5 bar). The newly developed NGQDs-CD-MWCNTs membrane exhibited enhanced water permeability without compromising the dye rejection compared to the pure NGQDs membrane. The improved performance of the membrane was primarily attributed to the synergistic effect of functionalized NGQDs and the special hollow-bowl structure of CD. The optimal NGQDs-CD-MWCNTs-5 membrane expressed pure water permeability of 12.35 L m-2h-1 bar-1 at the pressure of 1.5 bar. Noteworthily, the NGQDs-CD-MWCNTs-5 membrane not only showed high rejection for the larger molecular dye of Congo Red (CR, 99.50%) but also for the smaller molecular dye of MO (96.01%) and Brilliant Green (BG, 95.60%) with the permeability of 8.81, 11.40, and 6.37 L m-2h-1 bar-1, respectively at low pressure (1.5 bar). The rejection of inorganic salts by the NGQDs-CD-MWCNTs-5 membrane was 17.20% for sodium chloride (NaCl), 14.30% for magnesium chloride (MgCl2), 24.63% for magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), and 54.58% for sodium sulfate (Na2SO4), respectively. The great rejection of dyes remained in the dye/salt binary mixed system (higher than 99% for BG and CR, <21% for NaCl). Importantly, the NGQDs-CD-MWCNTs-5 membrane exhibited favorable antifouling performance and potential good operation stability performance. Consequently, the fabricated NGQDs-CD-MWCNTs-5 membrane suggested a prospective application for the reuse of salts and water in textile wastewater treatment owing to the effective selective separation performance.

Abstract
Constructing membrane with good chlorine resistance and antifouling properties is considered to be important challenges confronting membrane applications. In this study, a composite nanofiltration (NF) membrane (β-CDx/y/PES) was prepared by interfacial polymerization using beta cyclodextrin (β-CD) monomers. Subsequently, the β-CD-based (AZ-β-CDx/y/PES) membrane was prepared by assembling azobenzene labeled zwitterions into the hydrophobic internal cavity of β-CD via host-guest interaction. The optimized membrane exhibited slight change in water flux and rejection under chlorine environment. The AZ-β-CDx/y/PES membrane also displayed an evidently lower loss in water flux in the antifouling test in comparison with the β-CDx/y/PES membrane. More interestingly, the trans azo groups in azobenzene labeled zwitterions can turn into the cis isomers as the visible light irradiation converted to the UV light irradiation, breaking the interaction between azobenzene labeled zwitterions and β-CD. Hence, the contaminants upon the membrane surface can be simply eliminated by water washing under UV light irradiation. The antifouling membrane can be regenerated via immersing the reacquired β-CD2/10/PES membrane into fresh azobenzene labeled zwitterions solution again.

Abstract
Nanofiltration (NF) membranes have been widely used in various fields including water treatment and other separation processes, while conventional thin film composite (TFC) membranes with polyamide (PA) selective layers suffer the problems of fouling and chlorine intolerance. Due to the abundant hydrophilic hydroxyl groups and ester bonds free from chlorine attack, the TFC membranes composed of polyester (PE) or polyester-amide (PEA) selective layers have been proven to possess enhanced anti-fouling properties and superior chlorine resistance. In this review, the research progress of PE and PEA nanofiltration membranes is systematically summarized according to the variety of hydroxyl-containing monomers for membrane fabrication by the interfacial polymerization (IP) reaction. The synthesis strategies as well as the mechanisms for tailoring properties and performance of PE and PEA membranes are analyzed, and the membrane application advantages are demonstrated. Moreover, current challenges and future perspectives of the development of PE and PEA nanofiltration membranes are proposed. This review can offer guidance for designing high-performance PE and PEA membranes, thereby further promoting the efficacy of nanofiltration.

Abstract
Tuning the crosslinking density of interfacial-polymerized nanofiltration (NF) membranes varying from loose to dense structures can make them meet the demand of various applications. The properties (e.g., pore size and porosity) of NF membranes can be tuned by choosing monomers with different structures and reactivities. Herein, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (THAM), a low-cost and green monomer, is first employed for the preparation of poly(ester amide) (PEA) thin-film composite membranes via interfacial polymerization. The moderate reactivity of THAM enables rational regulation of the crosslinking density of PEA membranes from loose to dense structures by varying the THAM concentration, which can hardly be achieved for traditional polyamide or polyester membranes. The developed PEA membranes with a wide tunability range of crosslinking densities broaden their potential utility in NF. PEA membranes with dense structures show exceptional desalination performance with a water permeance of 11.1 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 and a Na2SO4 rejection of 97.1%. However, loose PEA membranes exhibit good dye/salt separation performance with a dye removal rate over 95.0% and negligible NaCl rejection (<7.5%), as well as high water permeance (>45 L m-2 h-1 bar-1). This work implies that PEA membranes with tunable crosslinked structures provide new possibilities for the development of task-specific separation membranes.

Abstract
With the continuous pressure of water contamination caused by textile industry, loose nanofiltration (LNF) membranes prepared by green materials with an extraordinary water permeability are highly desirable for the recovery and purification of dyes and salts. In this work, low-pressure LNF membranes with ultrahigh permeability were fabricated via one-step interfacial polymerization (IP), in which inexpensive natural carbohydrate-derived sugars with large size and low reactivity were utilized as aqueous monomers to design selective layer. A systematic characterization by chemical analysis and optical microscopy demonstrated that the formed polyester film features not only loosen the structure, but also results in a hydrophilic and negatively charged surface. The optimized sucrose-based membrane (Su0.6/TMC0.1) with an excellent water permeability of 52.4 LMH bar-1 was found to have a high rejection of dyes and a high transmission of salts. In addition, the sugar-based membrane manifested an excellent anti-fouling performance and long-term stability. Furthermore, the non-optimized Gl0.6/TMC0.1 and Ra0.6/TMC0.1 membranes also shown a high water permeability, while maintaining a competitive dye/salt separation performance, which confirmed the universal applicability of the membrane design principle. Therefore, the proposed new strategy for preparing next-generation LNF membranes can contribute towards the textile wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In order to promote the application of membrane technology in the treatment of textile wastewater containing small molecule dye, fabricating a hollow fiber loose nanofiltration (LNF) with a thin and compact separation layer and deepening the understanding of compactness-tailoring mechanism in chemical crosslinking are essential. Firstly, the mechanisms of synergistic crosslinking of PEI-70K and PEI-10K, along with a weakening of the PEI hydration by ethanol, were expounded in primary crosslinking. Then, some LNF separation layers with different compactness were prepared through crosslinking with different crosslinkers to further reduce pore size, which resulted in the efficient removal (~100%) of a small molecular dye (methyl orange (MO), M = 327 g mol-1). The removal of methyl orange is mainly caused by size sieving. The relationship among the pore size, the Mw of the secondary crosslinkers, and the pore size reduction rate was interpreted by comparing the pore size reduction rate of three secondary crosslinkers with different molecular weights. In addition, the as-prepared separation layer exhibited excellent dimensional stability and solvent resistance. This paper not only provides a reference for fabricating hollow fiber LNF with better purification performance, but also shows their potential in developing solvent resistant nanofiltration.

Abstract
Precisely tailoring the surface morphology characteristics of the active layers based on bionic inspirations can improve the performance of thin-film composite (TFC) membranes. The remarkable water adsorption and capture abilities of octopus tentacles inspired the construction of a novel TFC nanofiltration (NF) membrane with octopus arm-sucker morphology using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) during interfacial polymerization (IP). The surface morphology, chemical elements, water contact angle (WCA), interfacial free energy (ΔG), electronegativity, and pore size of the membranes were systematically investigated. The optimal membrane exhibited an enhanced water permeance of 22.6 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1, 180% better than that of the TFC-control membrane. In addition, the optimal membrane showed improved single salt rejections and monovalent/divalent ion selectivity and can break the trade-off effect. The antiscaling performance and stability of the membranes were further explored. The construction mechanism of the octopus arm-sucker structure was excavated, in which CNTs and β-CD acted as arm skeletons and suckers, respectively. Furthermore, the customization of the membrane surface and performance was achieved through tuning the individual effects of the arm skeletons and suckers. This study highlights the noteworthy potential of the design and construction of the surface morphology of high-performance NF membranes for environmental application.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this article, monomers (tannic acid (TA) and m- phenylenediamine (MPD)) were used in the fabrication of a novel PES based thin-film composite nanofiltration (TFC-NF) membrane for the treatment of a common effluent treatment plant (CETP) of textile industrial wastewater. MEMBRANE SYNTHESIS PES support sheets and TFC layers were fabricated via non-solvent induced phase inversion and in-situ interfacial polymerization (IP) process. The ultra-thin active layer was synthesized via the IP process with monomers such as tannic acid (TA) and m- phenylenediamine (MPD). T and M series membranes correspond to (PES/x wt% TA, x = 2, 4, 6) as T1, T2, T3 -TA and (PES/x wt% MPD, x = 2, 4, 6) as M1, M2, M3-MPD respectively. M0 corresponds to PES which is the virgin membrane. RESULTS The chemical structure, surface morphology, surface roughness and surface properties were explored using fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and contact angle, respectively. The filtration performance of the thin-film composite nanofiltration (TFC-NF) membranes was investigated by various properties like pure water flux, salt rejection, porosity, mean pore radius and antifouling analysis. CONCLUSION T1-TA membrane showed better water permeability, high salt rejection and better industrial effluent rejection with 94.4% of TDS that are suitable for industrial reuse and agricultural irrigation. Moreover, for T1-TA membrane, the water flux, porosity, mean pore radius, salt rejection, surface roughness and contact angle of 43.5lm- 2 h - 1, 47.1%, 16.7nm, 72.7%, 11.7nm and 41.48°was achieved respectively that was found to be higher than that of all the other fabricated membranes. Further, the rejection efficiency rate of textile effluent characteristics such as pH, turbidity, TDS, alkalinity, total hardness, BOD and COD were also achieved with maximum deduction in the T1-TA TFC-NF membrane compared to the M0-Virgin PES membrane. From the results, it can be confirmed that the T1-TA membrane significantly reduced the alkalinity, total hardness, BOD and COD rejections of 78%, 77.3%, 58.5% and 67.5% respectively, present in the effluent. Water flux recovery ratio (FRR) was improved from 74.6% for M0-Virgin PES membrane to 94.8% for T1-TA membrane. The modified TFC-NF membranes especially T1-TA, had better anti-fouling property and excellent hydrophilicity than the unmodified M0-Virgin PES membrane.

Abstract
High-performance positively-charged nanofiltration (NF) membranes have a profound significance for water softening. In this work, a novel monomer, tris(3-aminopropyl)amine (TAEA), with one tertiary amine group and three primary amine groups, was blended with trace amounts of piperazine (PIP) in aqueous solution to fabricate a positively-charged NF membrane with tunable performance. As the molecular structures of TAEA and PIP are totally different, the chemical composition and structure of the polyamine selective layer could be tailored via varying the PIP content. The resulting optimal membrane exhibited an excellent water permeability of 10.2 LMH bar−1 and a high rejection of MgCl2 (92.4%), due to the incorporation of TAEA/PIP. In addition, this TAEA NF membrane has a superior long-term stability. Thus, this work provides a facile way to prepare a positively charged membrane with an efficient water softening ability.
