Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project evaluated the importance of membrane properties of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes on the transport of micropollutants, and identified that there could be RO skin layer properties other than skin layer thickness and free-volume hole-radius that govern water and solute permeation. In addition, this project applied a steric pore-flow model to predict the rejection of micropollutants, and found that their rejection can be predicted by estimating the free-volume hole-size with a single reference solute and membrane pure water permeability. This project also employed molecular dynamics (MD) simulation techniques to predict the transport behaviors of water and three N-nitrosamines. MD simulations showed that diffusivity of N-nitrosamines increased inversely with respect to their molecular size.
