Novel interlayered membrane for highly efficient separation processes

该项目旨在开发具有优异渗透性和选择性的高性能膜，以实现高效分离过程，降低能耗，并获得传统膜无法实现的高纯度产品。通过引入功能化的中间层，新型膜可以实现高达一个数量级的更高的溶剂渗透性与显着增强的溶剂-溶质选择性。机器学习算法将应用于基于新推出的在线综合数据库搜索理想的中间层。该项目将有助于加快澳大利亚实现净零碳排放和实现可持续环境的进程。

The project aims to develop high-performance membranes with excellent permeability and selectivity to allow efficient separation processes with reduced energy consumption and products with high purities that cannot be achieved by conventional membranes. By introducing the functionalized interlayer, the novel membrane can achieve up to an order of magnitude higher solvent permeance with significantly enhanced solvent-solute selectivity. Machine learning algorithms will be applied to search for the ideal interlayer based on a newly-launched online and comprehensive database. This project will contribute to accelerating Australia’s progress towards net-zero carbon emission and allowing a sustainable environment.
