▎ 摘  要

There is a need for developing reliable models for water and solute transport in graphene oxide (GO) membranes for advancing their emerging industrial water processing applications. In this direction, we develop predictive transport models for GO and reduced-GO (rGO) membranes over a wide solute concentration range (0.01-0.5 M) and compositions, based on the extended Nernst-Planck transport equations, Donnan equilibrium condition, and solute adsorption models. Some model parameters are obtained by fitting experimental permeation data for water and unary (single-component) aqueous solutions. The model is validated by predicting experimental permeation behavior in binary solutions, which display very different characteristics. Sensitivity analysis of salt rejections as a function of membrane design parameters (pore size and membrane charge density) allows us to infer design targets to achieve high salt rejections. Such models will be useful in accelerating structure-separation property relationships of GO membranes and for separation process design and optimization.
