Session: Nanoporous Membranes for Aqueous Separations

This session invites both computational and experimental abstracts focused on membrane materials and processes specifically designed for solute-selective separations (ion-ion, organic-organic, etc.) for liquid feeds. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the design and synthesis of novel polymeric and/or inorganic membranes, structure-property relationships that drive high selectivity, thermodynamics of solute-membrane interactions, kinetics of solute diffusion in membranes, in-depth characterization of solute selectivity, and mechanistic insights to selectivity. Relevant application areas may include rare gas separations, organic solvent reverse osmosis, ion-ion separations in resource recovery, among others. Contributions that apply machine learning and artificial intelligence to membrane design are welcomed. 2024 Sessions that resulted from this theme: Membrane-Based Organic Solvent Separations Membranes Designed for Solute Selective Separations Membranes Designed for lon-lon Separations I Membranes Designed for lon-lon Separations II
