TL;DR: In this article, Wang et al. developed the electrostatic and steric-hindrance (ES) model from the SHP model and the Teorell-Meyer-Sievers (TMS) model to predict the transport performance of charged solutes through NF membranes based on their charged pore structure.

TL;DR: In this article, the space charge model was applied to predict salt rejection with charged capillaries in reverse osmosis as a model system of nanofiltration membranes, and the rejection dependency on Peclet number was compared with that obtained by the Teorell-Meyer-Sievers (TMS) model which does not take into account the radial distributions of electric potential and ion concentration.

TL;DR: A sol-gel method was applied for the development of highly permeable hydrogen separation membranes using bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane (BTESE) as a silica precursor and hybrid silica membranes were found to show high hydrothermal stability due to the presence of Si-C- C-Si bonds in silica networks.

TL;DR: In this paper, the extended Nernst-Planck equation was used to calculate rejection of single and mixed-electrolyte solutions for mono-monovalent solutions.

TL;DR: In this article, structural parameters and electrical properties of nanofiltration membranes (Desal-5, NF-40, NTR7450 and G-20) were determined with permeation experiments of aqueous solutions of neutral solutes (alcohols and saccharides having different molecular weights) and sodium chloride.
