Membrane processes can enable highly selective removal or recovery of water and other constituents from challenging streams, via membrane selectivity and/or phase separation. Membrane design is critical to maintain selectivity and achieve high performance under challenging conditions (i.e., with concentrated and complex mixed streams). In our work, we elucidate relationships between material properties and performance at environmental conditions to design robust membranes and processes that can be used to extract water and other valuable products from challenging streams.
