Data-Driven Molecular Design of TFC Membrane Monomers with Reduced PFAS Affinity
Abstract Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent aquatic contaminants that challenge nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) treatment, particularly when trace-level permeation compromises water-quality goals. Beyond steric and electrostatic exclusion, PFAS transport through thin-film composite (...
