Abstract
Patterned membrane surfaces offer a hydrodynamic approach to mitigating concentration polarization and subsequent surface fouling. However, when subjected to steady crossflow conditions, surface patterns promote particle accumulation in the recirculation zones of cavity-like spaces. In order to resolve this issue, we numerically subject a two-dimensional, patterned membrane surface to a rapidly pulsed crossflow. When combined with cavity-like spaces, such as the valleys of membrane surface patterns, a rapidly pulsed flow generates mixing mechanisms (i.e., the deep sweep and the vortex ejection) and disrupts recirculation zones. In only four pulses, we demonstrate the ability of these mechanisms to remove over half of the particles trapped in recirculation zones via massless particle tracking studies (i.e., numerical integration of the simulated velocity field). The results of this work suggest that when combined with a rapidly pulsed inlet flow, patterned membrane surfaces can not only alleviate concentration polarization and the surface fouling that follows but also reduce the need for traditional cleaning methods that require operational downtime and often involve the use of abrasive chemical agents.

Removal of natural organic matter from surface water sources by nanofiltration and surface engineering membranes for fouling mitigation - A review. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 321:138070. [PMID: 36775036 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.138070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 02/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Given that surface water is the primary supply of drinking water worldwide, the presence of natural organic matter (NOM) in surface water presents difficulties for water treatment facilities. During the disinfection phase of the drinking water treatment process, NOM aids in the creation of toxic disinfection by-products (DBPs). This problem can be effectively solved using the nanofiltration (NF) membrane method, however NOM can significantly foul NF membranes, degrading separation performance and membrane integrity, necessitating the development of fouling-resistant membranes. This review offers a thorough analysis of the removal of NOM by NF along with insights into the operation, mechanisms, fouling, and its controlling variables. In light of engineering materials with distinctive features, the potential of surface-engineered NF membranes is here critically assessed for the impact on the membrane surface, separation, and antifouling qualities. Case studies on surface-engineered NF membranes are critically evaluated, and properties-to-performance connections are established, as well as challenges, trends, and predictions for the field's future. The effect of alteration on surface properties, interactions with solutes and foulants, and applications in water treatment are all examined in detail. Engineered NF membranes containing zwitterionic polymers have the greatest potential to improve membrane permeance, selectivity, stability, and antifouling performance. To support commercial applications, however, difficulties related to material production, modification techniques, and long-term stability must be solved promptly. Fouling resistant NF membrane development would be critical not only for the water treatment industry, but also for a wide range of developing applications in gas and liquid separations.

Abstract
Recent findings regarding nanofiltration (NF) have led to indications that it can be successfully used for separation of various biological solutions. As a novelty, this paper is the first to investigate the impact of the feed pretreatment process on the NF membrane performance used for separation of 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PD) fermentation broths. For this purpose, prior to the NF process, the feed was purified by microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) processes. Subsequently, the long-term NF process was carried out with the use of a commercial, flat-sheet, thin-film, polyamide NF270 nanofiltration membrane. Thereinto, to determine the dominant fouling mechanism, Hermia’s model was used. With regards to the pretreatment processes performed, it has been determined that the MF membrane (0.14 µm) provided the reduction in the number of bacteria cells present in the permeate, while the UF membrane (450 Da) allowed obtaining the sterile permeate. Consequently, the NF permeate flux for the UF permeate was significantly higher. Analysis of the fouling mechanisms showed that during the separation of the MF permeate, formation of a cake layer on the NF membrane surface was dominant. In turn, with regards to the UF permeate, membrane blocking occurred in two separate phases involving standard blocking and then cake layer formation. Finally, a strategy of NF membrane cleaning with the use of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution has been proposed.

Abstract
Microplastics can be considered potential carriers of emerging organic ultraviolet (UV) filters due to their considerable adsorption capacity in wastewater treatment. The adsorption behavior of organic UV filters, which are commonly contained in personal care products to preserve the skin against UV radiation, onto polyethylene (PE) microplastics were systematically studied to investigate their combined effects. Kinetics and isotherm analyses revealed that the adsorption of four organic UV filters onto PE microplastic surfaces followed a multi-rate and a heterogeneous multi-layer pattern. Several factors including salinity, microplastic size, and dosage also influenced the adsorption efficiency due to hydrophobic interactions. A bench-scale cross-flow ceramic membrane filtration experiment was investigated to evaluate the role of PE microplastics on the retention performance of organic UV filters. The retentions for organic UV filters were 34.2%-37.8% in the non-existence of PE microplastics. Conversely, organic UV filter retentions were significantly increased up to 82.2%-97.9% when they were adsorbed onto the PE microplastics, which were almost completely retained by the ceramic membrane. Therefore, organic UV filters can likely migrate and eventually be carried by PE microplastics, thus increasing the retention of both emerging organic UV filters and microplastics prior to discharge from wastewater treatment facilities.

Abstract
The challenge of water scarcity drives zero liquid discharge (ZLD) treatment to maximize reuse of industrial wastewater. Deciphering the characteristics and mechanisms of membrane fouling in the membrane-based ZLD system is crucial for the development of effective fouling control strategies. However, current studies only focused on the membrane fouling of single step, lacking in-depth understanding on the ZLD systems using multiple membrane processes. Herein, membrane fouling characteristics and mechanisms in a full-scale ZLD system for cold-rolling wastewater brine treatment were investigated via a comprehensive analysis on multiple nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membrane processes. The membrane fouling behaviors showed distinct characteristics along the wastewater flow direction in the ZLD system. Increasing amounts of foulants were deposited on the membrane surfaces with the sequence of the 1st pass RO, 1st stage NF, and 2nd stage NF processes. The organic fouling and silica scaling were more intensive in the 1st stage NF and 2nd stage NF for treating the brine of the 1st pass RO, as the foulants were rejected and concentrated by previous membrane processes. Severe inorganic fouling, containing amorphous SiO2, Al2O3, and Al2SiO5, occurred on the membrane surface of the 2nd pass RO membrane, due to the recirculated high-concentration silica, high water recovery, and concentration polarization. For the 3rd pass RO process, both the amounts of organic and inorganic foulants decreased dramatically, due to the low foulant concentration in its influent. This work provides a comprehensive understanding of membrane fouling in a membrane-based ZLD system, facilitating the development of membrane fouling control strategies for multiple membrane processes.

Abstract
Organic solvents take up 80% of the total chemicals used in pharmaceutical and related industries, while their reuse rate is less than 50%. Traditional solvent treatment methods such as distillation and evaporation have many disadvantages such as high cost, environmental unfriendliness, and difficulty in recovering heat-sensitive, high-value molecules. Organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) has been a prevalent research topic for the separation and purification of organic solvent systems since the beginning of this century with the benefits of no-phase change, high operational flexibility, low cost, as well as environmental friendliness. Especially, hollow fiber (HF) OSN membranes have gained a lot of attention due to their high packing density and easy scale-up as compared with flat-sheet OSN membranes. This paper critically reviewed the recent research progress in the preparation of HF OSN membranes with high performance, including different materials, preparation methods, and modification treatments. This paper also predicts the future direction of HF OSN membrane development.

Abstract
The use of treated wastewater in addition to solving the problem of water shortage, can increase soil fertility and reduce the use of chemical fertilizers. We aim to provide a high-quality effluent to feed membrane system, reduce treatment costs and enhance the efficiency of wastewater recycling. All experiments were conducted on a novel integrated membrane biological aerated filter (IMBAF) consisting of a down flow cylindrical biological aerated filter (BAF) filled by silica and a novel sand-coated polystyrene granules (SCP), followed by ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. IMBAF reactor, with 73.6 L volume, was operated for 270 days (in three 90-day stages) with different conditions of returning backwash water. Accordingly, BAF generated high quality water for feeding UF membrane with 94.2%, 68%, 54.4%, 91.2%, and 99.95% of turbidity, 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), chemical oxygen demand (COD), oil and grease (O&G), fecal coliform (FC) removal, respectively. At the end of stage 3, 99.88% of influent was recycled by UF and only 0.12% was disposed of as sludge. The BAF and UF module efficiently promote the quality of water entering RO system. After 75 days of continuous operation, the increase in trans-membrane pressure (TMP) and also decrease in RO membrane permeability were about 14% and 9.4%, respectively, indicating low clogging of the membrane. The use of BAF structure designed in this study increases the wastewater recycling rate, decreases membrane clogging and thereby reduces the costs of concentrate disposal and chemical cleaning.

Abstract
Microbial carbon fixation pathways have not yet been adequately understood for their role in membrane case layer formation processes. Carbon fixation bacteria can play critical roles in either causing or enhancing cake layer formation in some autotrophic-prone anoxic conditions, such as sulfur-cycling conditions. Understanding the microbes capable of carbon fixation can potentially guide the design of membrane biofouling mitigation strategies in scientific ways. Thus, we used meta-omics methods to query carbon fixation pathways in the cake layers of a full-scale anoxic-oxic biofilm-MBR system treating textile wastewater in this study. Based on the wastewater constituents and other properties, such as anoxic conditions, sulfide-reducing and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria could co-exist in the membrane unit. In addition, low-light radiation conditions could also happen to the membrane unit. However, we could not quantify the light intensity or total energy input accurately because the whole experimental setup was a full-scale system. Potentially complete carbon fixation pathways in the cake layer included the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle, Wood-Ljungdahl pathway, and the 3-hydroxypropionate bicycle. We discovered that using aeration could effectively inhibit carbon fixation, which resulted in mitigating membrane cake layer development. However, the aeration resulted in the 3-hydroxypropionate bicycle pathway, presumably used by aerobic sulfur-oxidizing prokaryotes, to become a more abundant carbon fixation pathway in the cake layer under aerobic conditions.

Abstract
Breaking the trade-off between filtration performance and antifouling property is critical to enabling a thin-film nanocomposite (TFC) nanofiltration (NF) membrane for a wide range of feed streams. We proposed a novel design route for TFC NF membranes by grafting well-defined zwitterionic copolymers of [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium hydroxide (SBMA) and 2-aminoethyl methacrylate hydrochloride (AEMA) on the polyamide surfaces via an in situ surface chemical modification process. The successful grafting of a zwitterionic copolymer imparted the modified NF membranes with better surface hydrophilicity, a larger actual surface area (i.e., nodular structures), and a thinner polyamide layer. As a result, the water permeability of the modified membrane (i.e., TFC-10) was triple that of the pristine TFC membrane while maintaining high Na2SO4 rejection. We further demonstrated that the TFC-10 membrane possessed exceptional antifouling properties in both static adsorption tests and three cycles of dynamic protein and humic acid fouling tests. To recap, this work provides valuable insights and strategies for the fabrication of TFC NF membranes with simultaneously enhanced filtration performance and antifouling property.

Abstract
The rational design of a ceramic-based nanofiltration membrane remains a significant challenge due to its performance and fabrication cost. Herein, we report a high-performance ceramic-based thin-film composite (TFC) membrane fabricated via a typical interfacial polymerization on an interwoven net substrate assembled by titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanowires. The chemical properties and morphologies were systematically investigated for ceramic substrates and their corresponding TFC membranes. Due to the significantly improved hydrophilicity of the TiO2 framework, more reactive amine monomers were uniformly adsorbed on the modified surface of the ceramic substrate, yielding an ultrathin polyamide layer with less resistance. In addition, the smooth surface and decreased pore size of the TiO2 framework contributed to forming a defect-free polyamide layer. As a result, the obtained ceramic-based TFC membrane evinced high permeance of 26.4 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 and excellent salt rejection efficiency, leading to simultaneous improvements compared with the control TFC membrane without the TiO2 framework. Notably, the potential regeneration ability of the ceramic-based TFC membrane could be achieved via facile low-temperature calcination and re-polymerization process due to the varied thermostability between the polyamide layer and the robust ceramic substrate. The operation of regeneration helped to prolong the lifetime and decrease the cost for the ceramic-based TFC membrane. This research provides a feasible protocol to fabricate sustainable ceramic-based nanofiltration membranes with enhanced performance for water treatment.

Abstract
Chemical cleaning is indispensable for the sustainable operation of nanofiltration (NF) in wastewater treatment. However, the common chemical cleaning methods are plagued by low cleaning efficiency, high chemical consumption, and separation performance deterioration. In this work, a chemoenzymatic cascade reaction is proposed for pollutant degradation and polyamide NF membrane cleaning. Glucose oxidase (GOD) enzymatic reaction in this cascade system produces hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and gluconic acid to trigger the oxidation of foulants by Fe3O4-catalyzed Fenton reaction. By virtue of the microenvironment (pH and H2O2 concentration) engineering and substrate enrichments, this chemoenzymatic cascade reaction (GOD-Fe3O4) exhibits a favorable degradation efficiency for bisphenol A and methyl blue (MB). Thanks to the strong oxidizing degradation, the water flux of the NF10 membrane fouled by MB is almost completely recovered (∼95.8%) after a 3-cycle fouling/cleaning experiment. Meanwhile, the chemoenzymatic cascade reaction improves the applicability of the Fenton reaction in polyamide NF membrane cleaning because it prevents the membrane from damaging by high concentration of H2O2 and inhibits the secondary fouling caused by ferric hydroxide precipitates. By immobilizing GOD on the aminated Fe3O4 nanoparticles, a reusable cleaning agent is prepared for highly efficient membrane cleaning. This chemoenzymatic cascade reaction without the addition of an acid/base/oxidant provides a promising candidate for sustainable and cost-effective cleaning for the polyamide NF membrane.

Abstract
This work investigates the application of empirical, statistical and machine learning methods to appraise the prediction of transmembrane pressure (TMP) by oscillating slotted pore membrane for the treatment of two kinds of deformable oil drops. Here, we utilized the previous experimental runs with permeate flux, shear rate and filtration time as features, while TMP of crude oil and Tween-20 were two distinct targets. For 87 experimental runs, Response surface methodology (RSM) and Artificial Neural network (ANN) modelling were opted as statistical and machine learning tools, respectively, which were comprehensively compared with empirical slot-pore blocking model (SBM) considering accuracy and generalization. ANN with 10 neurons in the hidden layer could approximate the TMP of both oils better than RSM and SBM, which is reflected by computed performance metrics. Under the given conditions, almost similar analysis were predicted for TMP of both oils except changes in magnitude which were interpreted by (1) line plots, which showed that TMP of crude oil and Tween-20 were linearly related to flux rate and filtration time, and there was an inverse relationship between TMP and shear rate, (2) contour plots, which illustrated the strong interaction effect of flux rate and time on TMP, and (3)- sensitivity analysis, which revealed the influential sequence of variables on TMP as; flux rate > filtration time > shear rate, for both cases. The optimisation of the process showed that minimum TMP can be attained by maintaining higher shear rate and lower flux rate and time. Conclusively, the current findings indicate the utilization of ANN for the accurate assessment of TMP and can be helpful for the process designing and scale up.

Abstract
Tailored design of high-performance nanofiltration (NF) membranes is desirable because the requirements for membrane performance, particularly ion/salt rejection and selectivity, differ among the various applications of NF technology ranging from drinking water production to resource mining. However, this customization greatly relies on a comprehensive understanding of the influence of membrane fabrication methods and conditions on membrane properties and the relationships between the membrane structural and physicochemical properties and membrane performance. Since the inception of NF, much progress has been made in forming the foundation of tailored design of NF membranes and the underlying governing principles. This progress includes theories regarding NF mass transfer and solute rejection, further exploitation of the classical interfacial polymerization technique, and development of novel materials and membrane fabrication methods. In this critical review, we first summarize the progress made in controllable design of NF membrane properties in recent years from the perspective of optimizing interfacial polymerization techniques and adopting new manufacturing processes and materials. We then discuss the property-performance relationships based on solvent/solute mass transfer theories and mathematical models, and draw conclusions on membrane structural and physicochemical parameter regulation by modifying the fabrication process to improve membrane separation performance. Next, existing and potential applications of these NF membranes in water treatment processes are systematically discussed according to the different separation requirements. Finally, we point out the prospects and challenges of tailored design of NF membranes for water treatment applications. This review bridges the long-existing gaps between the pressing demand for suitable NF membranes from the industrial community and the surge of publications by the scientific community in recent years.

Abstract
Nowadays, the microbial production of 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PD) is recognized as preferable to the chemical synthesis. However, finding a technological approach allowing the production of 1,3-PD in the membrane bioreactor (MBR) is a great challenge. In the present study, a ceramic ultrafiltration (UF) membrane (8 kDa) for treatment of 1,3-PD broths was used. It has been demonstrated that the membrane used provides the stable permeate flux that is necessary to ensure the stability of the fermentation process in MBR technology. It was noticed that the broth pH has a significant impact on both the final 1,3-PD concentration and permeate flux. Moreover, the feasibility of using NaOH for fouling control in the MBR was evaluated. It has been shown that 1% NaOH solution is effective in restoring the initial membrane performance. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to shed light onto the possibility of reducing the amount of the alkaline solutions generated during the MBR operation. Indeed, it has been found that 1% NaOH solution can be successfully used several times for both membrane cleaning and to stabilize the broth pH. Finally, based on the results obtained, the technological conceptions of the MBR technology were designed.

Abstract
The emergence and accumulation of microplastics (MPs) in various aquatic environments have recently raised significant concerns. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been identified as one of the major sources of MPs discharge to the environment, implying a substantial need to improve advanced techniques for more efficient removal of MPs. Polymeric membranes have been proven effective in MPs removal. However, fouling is the main drawback of membrane processes and MPs can foul the membranes due to their small size and specific surface properties. Hence, it is important to investigate the impacts of MPs on membrane fouling to develop efficient membrane-based techniques for MPs removal. Although membrane technologies have a high potential for MPs removal, the interaction of MPs with membranes and their fouling effects have not been critically reviewed. The purpose of this paper is to provide a state-of-the-art review of MPs interaction with membranes and facilitate a better understanding of the relevant limitations and prospects of the membrane technologies. The first section of this paper is dedicated to a review of recent studies on MPs occurrence in WWTPs aiming to determine the most frequent MPs. This is followed by a summary of recent studies on MPs removal using membranes and discussions on the impact of MPs on membrane fouling and other probable issues (abrasion, concentration polarisation, biofouling, etc.). Finally, some recommendations for further research in this area are highlighted. This study serves as a valuable reference for future research on the development of anti-fouling membranes considering these new emerging contaminates.

Abstract
This study reports landfill leachate treatment by the forward osmosis (FO) process using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for membrane cleaning. Although chemical cleaning is an effective method for fouling control, it could compromise membrane integrity. Thus, understanding the impact of chemical cleaning on the forward osmosis membrane is essential to improving the membrane performance and lifespan. Preliminary results revealed a flux recovery of 98% in the AL-FS mode (active layer facing feed solution) and 90% in the AL-DS (draw solution faces active layer) using 30% H2O2 solution diluted to 3% by pure water. The experimental work investigated the effects of chemical cleaning on the polyamide active and polysulfone support layers since the FO membrane could operate in both orientations. Results revealed that polysulfone support layer was more sensitive to H2O2 damage than the polyamide active at a neutral pH. The extended exposure of thin-film composite (TFC) FO membrane to H2O2 was investigated, and the active layer tolerated H2O2 for 72 h, and the support layer for only 40 h. Extended operation of the TFC FO membrane in the AL-FS based on a combination of physical (hydraulic flushing with DI water) and H2O2 was reported, and chemical cleaning with H2O2 could still recover 92% of the flux.

Abstract
The removal of arsenic(III) (As(III)) with nanofiltration (NF) was investigated with emphasis on the role of salinity, pH and organic matter on retention mechanisms. While no measurable impact of salinity on As(III) retention with NF membranes (NF270 and NF90) was observed, a significant increase in As(III) retention occurred from pH 9 to pH 12. This was explained by As(III) deprotonation at pH > 9 that enhanced Donnan (charge) exclusion. Of the five different organic matter types investigated at 10 mgC/L, only humic acid (HA) increased As(III) retention by up to 10%. Increasing HA concentration to 100 mgC/L enhanced As(III) retention by 40%, which was attributed to As(III)-HA complexation. Complexation was confirmed by field-flow fractionation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (FFF-ICP-MS) measurements, which showed that the bound As(III) increased with HA concentration. Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) showed that NF90, which exhibited lower permeability reduction than NF270, has accumulated a lower amount of As(III) in the presence of HA, where As(III)-HA complex was formed in the feed solution. This finding implies that As(III) retention with NF technology can be enhanced by complexation, instead of using other methods such as oxidation or pH adjustement.

Huang J, Luo J, Chen X, Feng S, Wan Y. New insights into effect of alkaline cleaning on fouling behavior of polyamide nanofiltration membrane for wastewater treatment. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 780:146632. [PMID: 34030314 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.146632] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2021] [Revised: 03/16/2021] [Accepted: 03/16/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Membrane fouling is an intractable issue in wastewater treatment by nanofiltration (NF) membrane, and alkaline cleaning is the most effective approach to remove organic fouling on NF membrane. However, it was found that pore swelling of NF membrane induced by alkaline cleaning might reduce cleaning efficiency, and it is never quantified and its effect on membrane fouling behavior is still mysterious. In this work, membrane pore swelling effect (~9.7%, increment of effective pore size) induced by alkaline cleaning (pH 11) is confirmed and its effect on fouling behavior of the polyamide NF membrane is investigated based on experimental and modelling results. It is found that the alkali-induced pore swelling phenomenon would disappear after water filtration at neutral pH for 30 min, and if such cleaned membrane is faced by the small foulants during this pore shrinkage period, the concentration polarization and membrane fouling would be severer, and the subsequent alkaline cleaning is less effective because more foulants enter the enlarged pores and are tightly embedded in the membrane. Thus, the irreversible fouling of the NF membrane increases from 20% to 40% while its permeability recovery declines from 100% to 67% after six fouling/cleaning cycles. When an anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS, 10 mM) is added in the alkaline cleaning solution, the adsorption of SDS in/on the membrane can not only improve its hydrophilicity and negative charge, but also quickly eliminate the alkali-induced pore swelling effect and avoid the accumulation of foulants in the pores, thereby enhancing the antifouling performance of the NF membrane. Using the alkaline SDS cleaning, the irreversible fouling of the NF membrane maintains below 10% while its permeability recovery keeps above 100% in six continuous fouling/cleaning cycles.

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
With diverse selectivity, higher permeance, and good antifouling property, loose polyamide nanofiltration (NF) membranes can be potentially deployed in various bioseparation applications. However, the loose NF membrane with a low crosslinking degree generally suffers from the alkali-induced pore swelling during chemical cleaning, resulting in degradation of separation performance with time. In this work, we conceive a novel strategy to tailor the separating layer through alkaline post-etching following the interfacial polymerization process, where piperazine and tannic acid (TA) were used as water-phase monomers, and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) and ferric acetylacetonate were employed as organic monomers in n-hexane. Thereinto, the polyester network formed by TA and TMC was selectively etched by alkaline treatment, thus obtaining a loose NF membrane, whose structure and performance could be facilely tailored by controlling the TA ratio and the etching pH. As a result, the well-designed loose NF membrane exhibited higher flux, better selectivity, and more stable separation performance in a long-term filtration of diluted cane molasses. Interestingly, the obtained loose NF membrane showed excellent antiswelling ability during alkaline cleaning because of network locking induced by Fe3+ chelation, decrease in the carboxyl proportion (more hydroxyl generation due to the ester bond hydrolysis), and enhanced interface interaction between the separation layer and the sublayer attributed to catechol adhesion effect. Therefore, such a "selective-etching-induced reinforcing" strategy could endow the polyamide NF membrane with both loose and antiswelling separation layer in a reliable and scalable way, which provides a new perspective for preparing highly selective and stable NF membrane for resource recovery.

Abstract
Separating low/high-valent ions with sub-nanometer sizes is a crucial yet challenging task in various areas (e.g., within environmental, healthcare, chemical, and energy engineering). Satisfying high separation precision requires membranes with exceptionally high selectivity. One way to realize this is constructing well-designed ion-selective nanochannels in pressure-driven membranes where the separation mechanism relies on combined steric, dielectric exclusion, and Donnan effects. To this aim, charged nanochannels in polyamide (PA) membranes are created by incorporating ionic polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers via interfacial polymerization. Both sub-10 nm sizes of the ionic PAMAM dendrimer molecules and their gradient distributions in the PA nanofilms contribute to the successful formation of defect-free PA nanofilms, containing both internal (intramolecular voids) and external (interfacial voids between the ionic PAMAM dendrimers and the PA matrix) nanochannels for fast transport of water molecules. The external nanochannels with tunable ionizable groups endow the PA membranes with both high low/high-valent co-ion selectivity and chemical cleaning tolerance, while the ion sieving/transport mechanism was analyzed by employing the Donnan steric pore model with dielectric exclusion.
