A critical review on porous substrates of TFC polyamide membranes: Mechanisms, membrane performances, and future perspectives
Abstract
Abstract Reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes commonly adopt a thin film composite (TFC) structure featuring a polyamide rejection layer formed on a porous substrate. Recent studies have shown compelling evidence that the separation performance of TFC membranes is critically influenced by their substrates. Substrates not only affect the formation of polyamide rejection layers but also regulate the transport pathways of water and solutes through the membranes. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the effects of substrate pore structure and chemistry on the water permeance, selectivity, and fouling performance of the resulting TFC membranes. Membrane transport models and formation theories are critically assessed to evaluate the key mechanisms leading to improved membrane performance. In addition, membranes formed on substrates are compared to those formed at free interfaces to provide deeper insights into these mechanisms. The potential use of composite/reactive/gutter layer-coated substrates towards better membrane performance is also highlighted. The comprehensive and mechanistic insights gained in the critical review provide a solid basis to guide the future development and optimization of TFC polyamide membranes.

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.
