Novel thin-film composite nanofiltration membranes consisting of a zwitterionic co-polymer for selenium and arsenic removal

TL;DR: In this article, a water-soluble zwitterionic co-polymer, P[MPC-co-AEMA], was designed and synthesized via a single-step free-radical polymerization between 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) and 2-aminoethyl methacrylate hydrochloride (AEMA), which was incorporated into the polyamide selective layer of thin-film composite (TFC) membranes via interfacial polymerization to remove Se and As concurrently.
