The upper bound of thin-film composite (TFC) polyamide membranes for desalination
Abstract
Abstract Membrane separation properties are constrained by a tradeoff relationship between permeability and selectivity. This tradeoff relationship has been well established for gas separation membranes in the form of the Robeson's upper bound. In contrast, the upper bound relationship is much less established for thin-film composite (TFC) polyamide membranes used for desalination. In this work, we analyzed the tradeoff between the water permeance and the water/NaCl selectivity for TFC membranes gathered from more than 300 published papers. A clear upper bound behavior relationship is established, and the various effects of membrane synthesis conditions and modifications are reviewed in relation to this permeance-selectivity tradeoff. Our work provides a critical tool for the evaluation and benchmarking of future membrane development works in the context of desalination and water reuse.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
