However, applicability of this approach to nanocomposite membranes is questionable, given the highly diverse membrane structures. In this study, three types of carbon nanotube composite membranes (CNT_S, CNT_M, and CNT_L) were prepared and used to filter fluorescent polystyrene particles under favorable surface interaction conditions. The resulting cake structures were imaged using laser confocal microscopy and analyzed for pore characteristics. It was found that cake layers with lower porosity and smaller average pore size also had more tortuous and complex pore channels, leading to lower water permeability. Moreover, simulations of the cake layers with a pore network model reveal that pore radius and throat length are key factors affecting water permeability. Further application of the machine learning (ML) model accurately predicts cake permeability based on the 3D fractal dimension (2.44–2.81), anisotropy (0.64–0.81) and porosity (0.3–0.71) of the pore space and R<sup>2</sup> of the test set reaches 0.96. Finally, the Weierstrass-Mandelbrot equation is applied to describe the self-similar fractal surfaces possessed by the CNT membranes. The respective fractal dimensions of three membrane surfaces (<em>D</em><sub><em>f</em></sub>) are 2.31, 2.11 and 2.57. At a <em>D</em><sub><em>f</em></sub> value of 2.31, the cake layer exhibits greater pore homogeneity and connectivity, and thus higher water permeability.

This study presents a novel modeling approach for ED-based acid recovery utilizing the overall mass transfer (OMT) methodology for the first time. Importantly, regression models incorporating initial concentration and current density as independent variables have been developed to calculate the OMT coefficients and cell resistance following a quantitative analysis of the effects of acid media and electric field on mass transport phenomena, based on a series of carefully designed experiments. Subsequent predictions regarding a typical ED-based acid recovery process were conducted, yielding results that align closely with experimental data. For instance, the relative deviations for concentration and volume evolution were found to be less than ±8.4 % and ±7.9 %, respectively. Additionally, the relative deviations for energy consumption were recorded at 8.2 % and 3.2 % for the overall process and the ED stack, respectively. Furthermore, simulations were performed to evaluate the impacts of operational conditions on ED performance using the derived models. In conclusion, the efficacy of the OMT approach for modeling the ED process in acid systems has been substantiated.

Membrane chromatography (MC) is poised to displace resin-based column chromatography in mAb product polishing. To remove negatively charged product impurities (<em>e.g</em>., host cell proteins, DNA, viruses, and endotoxins), anion exchange (AEX) membrane adsorbers offer higher process rates and eliminate the risks of cross contamination as they can be deployed as single use separation devices, which are increasingly being utilized in downstream bioprocessing to increase manufacturing speed and decrease production cost. Here, we describe a one-pot and single step phase inversion casting process for the preparation of a family of mixed matrix polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) microfiltration (MF) membranes with <em>in-situ</em> synthesized polyethyleneimine (PEI) microparticles that can serve as flow through, high capacity, and salt tolerant weak base AEX membrane adsorbers. These new membranes have a high content of weak base (WB) groups (primary and secondary amines) by virtue of the utilization of bis(2-chloroethyl)amine hydrochloride (BCAH) as crosslinker in the in-situ synthesis of PEI microparticles in the dope dispersions prior to membrane casting. By varying the concentration of PEI and BCAH in the casting dispersions, we successfully utilized nonsolvent induced phase separation (NIPS) with isopropyl alcohol as the nonsolvent in the membrane coagulation bath to prepare a mixed matrix PVDF-PEI MF membrane with (i) a relatively uniform and open microstructure in which the PEI particles completely cover the PVDF spherulites present at the membrane surface and cross section, (ii) high water flux (&gt;1000 liters/m<sup>2</sup>/hr. at 2 bar) and (iii) a high loading of BCAH crosslinked PEI microparticles (51.0 wt%) containing weak base primary, secondary, and tertiary amine groups.

If membrane structural and chemical characteristics are well defined, the DSPM-DE can theoretically be used to identify solute rejection mechanisms, predict NF performance, and guide membrane design. However, the presence of additional separation mechanisms, like adsorption, and the heterogeneous, convoluted characteristics of traditional NF membranes challenge these goals. In this work, we apply covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as model NF materials to demonstrate control over the steric and non-steric partitioning and transport mechanisms in NF. We experimentally isolate and quantify the steric and non-steric contributions to solute partitioning and transport in NF via application of the DSPM-DE to COF membranes fabricated with tailored pore sizes, thicknesses, and charge properties. We also demonstrate enhanced non-steric solute rejection achieved through changes to COF membrane structure and chemistry, and we highlight the significant impact of adsorption on measured solute rejection by COF membranes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":368,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Membrane Science","volume":"715 ","pages":"Article 123491"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142660143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
