Evolution Characteristics of Coal Microstructure before and after Supercritical CO2 Treatment Based on the L-Weighing-LNMR Method

To accurately and quantitatively characterize the evolution of coal microstructures before and after supercritical CO2 treatment, this paper proposes a microstructural analysis for coal-rock based on low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LNMR) technology, the L-weighing method. The experimental results of the L-weighing method and the LNMR method were compared and analyzed. The results showed that there were differences between the experimental results of the L-weighing method and the LNMR method, but the overall laws were basically the same. The L-weighing method quantitatively characterizes the water content in coal and determines water consumption and microscopic component extraction in coal with supercritical CO2, while the LNMR method only determines the dissolution of H-containing substances in the coal by supercritical CO2. According to the combined analysis with the L-weighing method and the LNMR method, after the supercritical CO2 entered the coal, it consumed 0.33 g of water from the coal and extracted 0.32 g of microscopic components from the coal, reacted chemically with both water and microscopic components in the coal, and provided effective water consumption and extraction of the coal. The supercritical CO2 increased the saturable water in the coal by 0.71 g, the porosity by 1.57%, and the pore seepage volume by a factor of 1.10, which expanded the volume and increased the permeability of the coal. After the reaction with supercritical CO2, the centrifugal water loss of the coal increased by 0.16 g, the T2 cutoff (T2C) of the coal had shifted to the left by 0.31 ms, and the free water volume of the coal had increased by a factor of 1.15, which enhanced the pore connectivity in the coal. The water consumption, extraction, volume expansion, permeability increase, and pore connectivity increase were primarily responsible for the changes in the coal microstructure effected by supercritical CO2.

Constructing low-friction mass transfer channel in laminar graphene oxide membrane for efficient molecular separation with enhanced permeability

In recent years, graphene oxide (GO) has attracted increasing interest in fabricating next-generation separation membranes. The perm-selectivity of laminar GO membrane is generally determined by their interlayer nanochannel structure. Herein, we used a new molecule called 5, 5′-diamine-2, 2′-biphenol (BIPOL-NH2) as the intercalator of laminar GO-based membrane to construct low-friction interlayer mass transfer channels. The aromatic BIPOL-NH2 molecules act as hydrophobic side walls of the mass transfer channels between adjacent GO nanosheets, reducing the interaction between water molecules and channel structure, thereby enhancing water permeability of GO membranes. This was confirmed by the further molecular dynamics simulation. Compared with pristine GO membrane, the BIPOL-GO membrane showed a water permeability increase by a factor of about 3 (up to 72.4 L m-2h−1 bar−1), which was consistent with our simulation results. Also, it represented excellent dye/salt separation performance (the selectivity of NaCl/CR is more than 117.2) and good structural stability. Overall, our work provides a novel and efficient approach to modify GO-based membranes for enhanced permeability.

Performance and Stability of Aemion and Aemion+ Membranes in Zero-Gap CO2 Electrolyzers with Mild Anolyte Solutions.

The dependence of performance and stability of a zero-gap CO2 electrolyzer on the properties of the anion exchange membrane (AEM) is examined. This work firstly assesses the influence of the anolyte when using an Aemion membrane and then shows that when using 10 mM KHCO3 , a CO2 electrolyzer using a next-generation Aemion+ membrane can achieve lower cell voltages and longer lifetimes due to increased water permeation. The impact of lower permselectivity of Aemion+ on water transport is also discussed. Using Aemion+, a cell voltage of 3.17 V at 200 mA cm-2 is achieved at room temperature, with a faradaic efficiency of >90 %. Stable CO2 electrolysis at 100 mA cm-2 is demonstrated for 100 h, but with reduced lifetime at 300 mA cm-2 . However, the lifetime of the cell at high current densities is shown to be increased by improving water transport characteristics of the AEM and reducing dimensional swelling, as well as by improving cathode design to reduce localized dehydration of the membrane.

Nanostructured membranes with interconnected pores via a combination of phase inversion and solvent crystallisation approach

Polyethersulfone (PES) is an important membrane material in wastewater and medical applications due to its outstanding thermal and mechanical properties. However, when processing the PES into the asymmetric membranes through nonsolvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) method, the emergence of macro voids and discrete porosities has hampered its permeation performance. In this study, we present a novel phase inversion and solvent crystallisation approach that combines NIPS with the combined crystallisation and diffusion (CCD) technique, named as (NIPS-CCD) to significantly improve PES ultrafiltration membrane permeation without use of any additives. The NIPS-CCD method is simple and requires only a change in casting plate material and water bath temperature. The resultant membrane features a typical NIPS-like skin layer and elongated finger like structure, which are integrally connected to aligned microchannels formed through the CCD technique. With the enhanced pore connectivity, a 50-fold increase in water permeation up to 771 LMH bar−1 was obtained from the NIPS-CCD membrane with the pore size of 6–7 nm. This approach can be easily adapted to industrial production for other high-performance membrane materials with a minimal process modification, making it a promising strategy for improving the permeation properties of membranes used in various applications.

Improving permselectivity of the polyamide reverse osmosis membrane by a controlled-release sulfate radical modification

The sulfate radical (SO4.-) is an effective reactive oxidative species that can improve the permselectivity of polyamide membranes. However, the coexistence of hydroxyl radicals, which have been previously reported in a thermal-activated persulfate (PDS) system, have detrimental effects on membrane integrity and salt rejection. In this study, we adopted a facile citric acid chelated Fe(II)/PDS modification method to generate a controlled-release SO4.- oxidation condition at room temperature, which enhanced membrane performance. The rapid oxidation by Fe(II)/PDS significantly increased membrane water permeability. However, ferric oxyhydroxides were formed and deposited on the membrane surface, reducing surface hydrophilicity and negative charge. Citric acid was then introduced into the modification as a chelating agent to control the release of Fe(II) and improve the modification efficiency. The modified membrane showed further increased water permeability (from 26.0 to 53.0 L m−2h−1) and maintained a salt rejection of 98.4%. The optimized membrane enhanced surface hydrophilicity and negative charge, slightly improving anti-fouling ability. The membrane chemical composition characterization using ATR-FTIR and XPS indicated the formation of excess oxygenous groups. Furthermore, SO4.- oxidized the chlorine-sensitive sites, endowing the modified membrane with significantly improved chlorine resistance. The results from this study provide a facile SO4.--based modification method for comprehensively improving permselectivity, surface properties, and anti-fouling/anti-chlorine resistances of the polyamide membranes.

Mechanistic insights into the role of nanoparticles towards the enhanced performance of thin-film nanocomposite membranes

Thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes are promising in improving water treatment due to their high permeability and selectivity. However, little is known about the mechanism by which nanoparticles enhance their performance. In this study, we prepared two series of TFN membranes containing ∼40 nm-sized zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) nanoparticles, one with a hydrophobic porous form and the other with a nonporous amorphous form (aZIF-8). The TFN membranes containing 0.15 w/v% ZIF-8 exhibited a 100% increase in water permeance while maintaining a similar NaCl rejection (98.38%) compared to thin-film composite (TFC) membranes used in brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO). In contrast, adding the same amount of aZIF-8 resulted in almost no water permeance enhancement. By comparing the physicochemical properties of the two materials and the two series of membranes, we found that the only difference was the presence or absence of internal hydrophobic pore structures. We proposed that the hydrophobic internal pores of nanoparticles served as extra water channels while preventing the passage of NaCl during BWRO.

Active plant biomass inputs influence pore system functioning in no-till soils

Available knowledge about the exact impact of plant growth on the properties and functioning of no-till soils is somewhat limited, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. The starting hypothesis for this work was that long-term active plant biomass Input-APBI (aboveground plant shoot biomass) would improve pore system functioning in surface and subsurface soil layers by playing different, complementary roles in a previously degraded subtropical Acrisol. The hypothesis was checked by examining the results of a 34-yr field experiment involving five different cropping systems, namely: bare soil (BS), perennial pasture (PAST), oat/maize (O/M), oat + vetch/maize (O + V/M) and oat + vetch/ maize + cowpea (O + V/M + C). The soil was supplied with APBIs varying from 0.13 to 1.48 kg dry matter ha−1 yr−1. The APBIs for each cropping system were very low (BS), low (O/M), medium (O + V/M), high (O + V/M + C), and very high (PAST). The surface (0–5 cm) and subsurface (5–15 cm) soil layer were analyzed for static and dynamic properties of the pore system including bulk density; total, macro, and microporosity; the ability of the system to conduct air and water; continuity in soil pores; and plant-available water capacity. Micromorphological images of the soil revealed a complex pore network whose structure and functioning were both improved by the action of plants. In the surface soil layer, very high APBIs from pasture and high inputs from O + V/M + C increased total porosity by 11 and 14 %, respectively; pore continuity (Ncont) by 11 and 40 %, respectively; and microporosity by 31 and 23 %, respectively —all relative to bare soil. In the subsurface soil layer, pasture, and O + V/M + C decreased Ncont by 44 and 40 %, respectively, but increased water permeability (kw) by a factor of 6.5 and 7, respectively. In addition, very high APBIs increased continuity and permeability to air in macropores relative to BS. Organized large macropores in the subsurface soil layer efficiently conducted water and air from the soil surface and acted as bridges between the surface and subsurface soil layer. Overall, our findings suggest that APBIs helped develop a pore system with differential properties and complementary functions that influenced water infiltration and air fluxes in the surface soil layer, and water availability to crops in the subsurface soil layer, through long-term self-organization in the system. Future research with a view to understanding the influence of species richness and roots on physical quality in no-till soils is recommended.

Fruit Structure in Amphicarpic Annual Gymnarrhena micrantha (Asteraceae, Gymnarrheneae) in Relation to the Species Biology

In the amphicarpic annual Gymnarrhena micrantha Desf. (Asteraceae), aerial and subterranean fruits differ in morphology, dispersal ability and germination behavior. The aim of our work was to study their structural features in relation to the eco-physiological properties, using light and scanning electron microscopes. Five fruit morphs were found, three of aerial achenes: ebracteate, bracteate and double bracteate ones, and two subterranean fruits with achenes, enveloped in involucral bracts, developed from (I) sessile or (II) not sessile different heads. This species shows divergent fruit differentiation, an increase in their diversity along several lines of morphological differentiation, which corresponds to a multiple seed dispersal and germination strategy. In addition to the already known distinctive features of subterranean achenes (larger size, undeveloped pappus, poor pubescence), they also differ in the simplified structure of the apical and basal achene regions, the absence of the corolla expanded base (cupula) and nectary, other cells parameters in the exotesta and endosperm, another form of the disproportionately developed embryo. The peculiarities of probably subterranean fruit II (seemingly originated through apomixis) extend to various color, pappus structure, sparse pubescence, and the ability of the fruit wall to delaminate. The lack of dense pubescence in the subterranean achenes is a key trait that could lead to increased water permeability of the fruit wall and affect germination rate. Possible adaptive significance of aerial achene structural features is discussed, including specialized corolla cupula, which may be an adaptation to dissemination by rainwater and ants.

Biomimetic MXene membranes with negatively thermo-responsive switchable 2D nanochannels for graded molecular sieving

Negatively thermo-responsive 2D membranes, which mimic the stomatal opening/closing of plants, have drawn substantial interest for tunable molecular separation processes. However, these membranes are still restricted significantly on account of low water permeability and poor dynamic tunability of 2D nanochannels under temperature stimulation. Here, we present a biomimetic negatively thermo-responsive MXene membrane by covalently grafting poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) onto MXene nanosheets. The uniformly grafted PNIPAm polymer chains can enlarge the interlayer spacings for increasing water permeability while also allowing more tunability of 2D nanochannels for enhancing the capability of gradually separating multiple molecules of different sizes. As expected, the constructed membrane exhibits ultrahigh water permeance of 95.6 L m−2 h−1 bar−1 at 25 °C, which is eight-fold higher than the state-of-the-art negatively thermo-responsive 2D membranes. Moreover, the highly temperature-tunable 2D nanochannels enable the constructed membrane to perform excellent graded molecular sieving for dye- and antibiotic-based ternary mixtures. This strategy provides new perspectives in engineering smart 2D membrane and expands the scope of temperature-responsive membranes, showing promising applications in micro/nanofluidics and molecular separation.

Justification of parameters of working body of deep loosener

The article presents the analysis results on the study of physical-mechanical properties of soils in Uzbekistan and experimental studies on the influence of parameters and rational geometric shape of working tools on the quality of soil tillage while reducing energy costs. It has been established that soil moisture and hardness in the periods of basic and pre-sowing tillage differ significantly according to weather conditions, agrophonous background, and sowing and harvesting technology of agricultural crops. The peculiarities of different soils and the main directions of preserving and increasing their fertility are considered. The problems of optimization of physical properties and issues of the fertility state of irrigated soils are highlighted. Special attention is paid to the problems of improving soil's basic physical and mechanical properties. The use of effective technologies for improving and ameliorating irrigated lands, increasing fertility, and reducing and preventing soil salinization is proposed. For prevention of decrease and preservation of soil fertility, purposeful measures on improvement of physical properties of soils are recommended, the mechanism of which solution is the application of innovative technology of processing providing purposeful growth and development of root system, moderate moisture of soil, increased water permeability, moisture stocks, and reduction of salinization. To prevent intensive moisture evaporation after deep tillage, it is recommended to carry out agrophobic treatment by maximum leveling and creating a shallow crumbly surface layer. To substantiate the parameters of the deep loosener were based on the fact that the degree and magnitude of soil deformation depend on both the shape and parameters of interacting working bodies and on the physical and mechanical properties of the cultivated medium.

Effect of Cellulose Nanofibrils on the Physical Properties and Frost Resistance of Pervious Concrete.

Pervious concrete has good water permeability and, if used in construction, it can alleviate the heat island effect. However, its low strength and poor durability are major obstacles to its use. This study shows that nano-reinforced pervious concrete created by incorporating cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) can improve the physical properties and increase the durability of pervious concrete. CNFs were added to the concrete mix in proportions ranging from 0.05% to 0.2% by weight of binder. The additions were found to alter matrix rheology. The hydration kinetics of matrix with differing CNF contents were compared and analyzed. The experimental results show the addition of CNFs delayed peak heat flow and maximum cumulative heat. The 28 d compressive strength of pervious concrete increased by up to 26.5% and 28 d flexural strength by up to 25.8% with the addition of 0.05-0.2% CNFs. Addition of 0.1% and 0.2% CNFs increased water permeability. Addition of 0.05-0.15% CNFs decreased mass loss by 73.2-83.7% after 150 freeze-thaw cycles, which corresponded to an increase in frost resistance. Denser matrices and stronger interfacial transition zones were observed using scanning electron microscopy when 0.05-0.2% CNFs were added.

Post-synthetic modification of MOFs to enhance interfacial compatibility and selectivity of thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes for water purification

Efficient discrimination of ions and small neutral contaminants remains a challenge for polyamide thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) water separation membranes due to the presence of interfacial defects and particle-agglomeration-induced nonselective voids in the polyamide layer. In this work, highly selective TFN membranes were successfully fabricated by leveraging post-synthetic modifications of (3-glycidyloxypropyl)triethoxysilane (GPTES) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) on MIL-101(Cr)–NH2 MOF filler nanoparticles. GPTES modification suppresses particle agglomeration during interfacial polymerization for membrane formation by forming a stable particle suspension in the organic monomer solution, while TMC-induced in situ chemical crosslinking between filler particles and polyamide addresses the phase compatibility and interfacial issues at the filler–polyamide interface. The resulting TFN membranes show high NaCl, MgCl2, Na2SO4, and MgSO4 rejections of 99.0–99.6% at 150 psi with a water permeance of 0.9 L m−2 h−1 bar−1. Compared to the thin-film composite (TFC) control membrane, the incorporation of the MOF particles yields a 53.0% and 24.5% increase in water permeance and NaCl rejection. Importantly, the TFN membranes also exhibit excellent rejections to small neutral contaminants such as PEG200 (99.2% rejection) and boric acid (89.0% rejection at a pH value of 7.5) at a relatively low pressure of 150 psi, which is higher than the respective value obtained by the commercial Dow SW30XLE TFC control membrane at the same conditions. The outstanding long-term performance stability revealed the robust structure of the MOF TFN membranes. Our results demonstrate a facile strategy to effectively control particle agglomeration and interfacial defects in polyamide TFN membranes by manipulating the surface chemistry of the filler nanoparticles, which can be applied to the fabrication of effective TFN membranes with molecular level size-exclusion selectivity.

Artificial water channels engineered thin-film nanocomposite membranes for high-efficient application in water treatment

Inspired by biological aquaporins, artificial water channels (AWCs) can achieve high-performance for thin-film composite (TFC) reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. In our work, two types of liposomes (C18lyso and D5A liposomes) with superior permeability serving as AWCs were designed by regulating the molecular structures of lipids, in which D5A liposomes have a better ability to water transport water molecules. Herein, liposome-based RO membranes (TFN-C18lyso and TFN-D5A) were fabricated via in situ interfacial polymerizations (IP). The resulting TFN-C18lyso shows an increase in water permeability of ∼ 51.4 % (up to 3.83 L m−2 h−1 bar−1) while TFN-D5A displays an increase in water permeability of ∼ 67.2 % (up to 4.23 L m−2 h−1 bar−1), and both membranes keep high rejection of ∼ 98.6 %. Moreover, both TFN-C18lyso and TFN-D5A present good separation stability, chemical resistance, and good desalination. Our work provides a valid and versatile foundation for developing advanced biomimetic membranes in water treatment.

Surface decoration of bis-aminosilane cross-linked multiwall carbon nanotube ultrafiltration membrane for fast and efficient heavy metal removal

Heavy metals (HMs) are highly toxic water pollutants abundant in industrial wastewater. Herein, a bis[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]amine (BTMSPA) cross-linked multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nanomaterial (CQACNT) was synthesized by silanization of MWCNT-OH followed by grafting of positively charged quaternary ammonium groups (glycidyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (GTMAC)) by an epoxide ring-opening reaction. The composite membranes were prepared by the incorporation of CQACNT into the poly(ether sulfone) (PES) polymer matrix. The CQACNT-6 composite membrane exhibited a 3.5-fold increase in pure water permeability (PWP; 312.8 L m−2 h−1 bar−1) as compared to the pristine PES (CQACNT-0) membrane (89.6 L m−2 h−1 bar−1). Moreover, the CQACNT-6 composite membrane showed high HM removal rates (Pb: 89.53%; Ni: 90.42%; Cu: 91.43%; Zn: 91.86%) as compared to the CQACNT-0 membrane (Pb: 39.73%; Ni: 40.32%; Cu: 42.52%; and Zn: 43.91%). After 9 treatment cycles, the CQACNT-6 membrane retained up to 87%, and 94% of its initial PWP and initial Cu2+ rejection, respectively, compared to only 58%, and 54%, respectively for pristine CQACNT-0. The positively charged quaternary ammonium groups enhanced the surface features of PES and MWCNTS, resulting in competitive HM removal rates due to the electrostatic repulsion between the HM and the porous membranes, as well as high PWP.

Optimization of Polyacrylic Acid Coating on Graphene Oxide-Functionalized Reverse-Osmosis Membrane Using UV Radiation through Response Surface Methodology.

Reverse osmosis (RO) is affected by multiple types of fouling such as biofouling, scaling, and organic fouling. Therefore, a multi-functional membrane capable of reducing more than one type of fouling is a need of the hour. The polyacrylic acid and graphene oxide (PAA-GO) nanocomposite functionalization of the RO membrane has shown its effectiveness against both mineral scaling and biofouling. In this research, the polyacrylic acid concentration and irradiation times were optimized for the PAA-GO-coated RO membrane using the response surface methodology (RSM) approach. The effect of these parameters on pure water permeability and salt rejection was investigated. The models were developed through the design of the experiment (DoE), which were further validated through the analysis of variance (ANOVA). The optimum conditions were found to be: 11.41 mg·L−1 (acrylic acid concentration) and 28.08 min (UV activation times) with the predicted results of 2.12 LMH·bar−1 and 98.5% NaCl rejection. The optimized membrane was prepared as per the model conditions, which showed an increase in both pure water permeability and salt rejection as compared to the control. The improvement in membrane surface smoothness and hydrophilicity for the optimized membrane also helped to inhibit mineral scaling by 98%.

EFFECT OF NORMAL BENTONITE CLAY, MINERAL FERTILIZERS, AND IRRIGATION REGIME ON WINTER WHEAT

In addition to the norm N150P105K75 kg/ha of mineral fertilizers for winter wheat under conditions of typical gray soils of the Tashkent region, 3000 kg/ha of bentonite clay was applied for plowing, with soil moisture before irrigation during the growing season in the irrigation mode 60-70-60 and 70-80- 70% of the LFMC at the end of the growing season, the bulk density of the soil relative to the control variant decreased to 0,03-0,05 g/cm3 in the 0-30 cm. layer and to 0,07-0,11 g/cm3 in the 30-50 layer see, an increase in soil water permeability from 30 m3 to 100 m3/ha was noted. When irrigating under irrigation regimes of 60–70–60 and 70–80–70% of the LFMC and additional application of bentonite clay at a rate of 3000 kg/ha against the background of mineral fertilizers at a rate of N150P105K75 kg/ha, the increase in grain yield was 11,9–13,4 c/ha, and the level of profitability increased by 18,9–21,1% compared to the control.

Fabrication of PVDF/EVOH blend hollow fiber membranes with hydrophilic property via thermally induced phase process

In this study, thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) technology was used to fabricate the PVDF/EVOH blend hollow fiber membranes using water-soluble mixed diluents. An interconnected bulk structure was formed by L-L phase separation for both the pristine membrane and blend membrane. The surface enrichment for EVOH during the cooling process enhanced the hydrophilicity of prepared hollow fiber membranes. It was found that the tensile strength of the blend membrane significantly increased from 2.6 MPa to 8.8 MPa. The variation of the membrane structure made the water permeability increase from 60 L m−2 h−1 bar−1 to 287 L m−2 h−1 bar−1 for the optimized blend membrane. Compared with the pristine membrane, EVOH blend membrane exhibited higher antifouling properties for BSA, HA, and oil-in-water emulsion filtrations.

Imidazole assisted molecular-scale regulation of polyamide for preparing reverse osmosis membrane with enhanced water permeance

The development of reverse osmosis (RO) technology is still hindered by many obstacles, especially the low water permeance of RO membrane. Herein, an interfacial polymerization regulated by N-acyl imidazole chemistry was proposed to fabricate high permeance RO membranes. The improvement of membrane performance was achieved by simply adding 2-Methylimidazole (Hmim) into aqueous phase. More angstrom-scale free volume elements, which acted as water molecule transport channels, were formed in the polyamide separation layer due to the reaction and hydrolysis of Hmim. As a result, a substantial increase in water permeance was achieved while maintaining high NaCl rejection. In addition, more carboxylic acid groups were formed on the membrane surface due to the hydrolysis of N-acyl imidazole, thereby imparting higher hydrophilicity and anti-fouling properties to the membrane. With the addition of 1.5 w/w% Hmim, the water permeance of the prepared RO membrane was improved to 4.4 L m−2 h−1 bar−1, nearly 4.5 times compared to the control group, while maintaining a high NaCl rejection of above 98 %, thus successfully overcoming the permeability-selectivity trade-off limit. This work paves a new idea for the development of additives in the preparation of RO membranes.

High‐Precision and High‐Flux Separation by Rationally Designing the Nanochannels and Surface Nanostructure of Polyamide Nanofiltration Membranes

High‐precision separation with increased water permeability is critical for efficient membrane‐based water treatment processes. To achieve high selectivity toward different targeted species while allowing rapid water transportation, the structure of the membrane polyamide selective layer requires delicate regulation. Herein, an effective approach to systematically expand the pore size of polyamide layers by incorporating ammonium ion‐modified carbon dots (CDs) into the polyamide network is developed. The ammonium ions with different alkyl chain lengths attached to the CDs create nanochannels of different sizes in the network to lower the energy barrier for water transportation while maintaining high selectivity to targeted species. When the alkyl chain length of the ammonium ions reaches eight carbon atoms (i.e., C8 ions), the amphiphilic C8‐CDs induce the formation of the ridged nanostructure on the membrane surface and hence the increased membrane filtration area. The resultant thin‐film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane, denoted as the TFN‐C8‐CDs membrane, demonstrates a higher Na2SO4 rejection of 98.9% and NaCl/Na2SO4 selectivity of 83.1 than the pristine polyamide membrane, together with a tripled pure water permeability of 29.0 L m−2 h−1 bar−1. Herein, a viable approach for ingeniously designing the nanochannels and surface nanostructure of polyamide membranes for more efficient filtration processes is provided.
