    Nanofiltration (NF) membranes have been applied to various applications such as pre–treatment of reverse osmosis (RO) membrane processes, separation and concentration of small organic molecules and multivalent ions. Polyamide membranes fabricated by interfacial polymerization are mainly used for NF membranes, because of their high water permeability and controllable separation performance. The improvement of the water permeability of NF membranes is crucial because it directly leads to energy efficiency. In this review, the recent approaches to improve the water permeability of polyamide NF membranes, including our new approach, “post–pore expansion”, are introduced. The “post–pore expansion” using methoxycarbonyl–diamine achieved the high water permeability comparable to nanomaterials-composite NF membranes.

    This review discusses the application of bridged–organosilica membranes in ultra–high–pressure reverse osmosis (RO) for concentrating organic aqueous solutions, notably dimethylformamide (DMF) in wastewater. RO process offers a more energy–efficient alternative to traditional distillation, but it faces challenges such as high osmotic pressure and the need for durable membranes. The first half of this review summarizes the development of porous ceramic RO membranes with high selectivity and chemical stability, suitable for operating at high–pressure and high solvent concentration. These membranes, with their unique silica networks with organic bridging groups, demonstrate high rejection performance not only in aqueous system but also in solvent–solvent separation. The second half of this review introduces the multi–stage ultra–high pressure filtration process for concentrating organic aqueous solutions. A key innovation in the multi–stage process is to develop and combine high–rejection RO and lower–rejection nanofiltration (NF) membranes. The combination use of RO and NF enables efficient concentration at lower pressures. The simulation study indicates that a well–optimized process significantly reduces energy consumption and represents an effective solution for sustainable resource use.

    Contamination of portable water source with organic micropollutants (OMP) has increasingly been recognized as potential risk for the human health. Such contaminants include pesticide, herbicide, medicines, PFAS (per – and polyfluoroalkyl substance) and so on. These organic micropollutants as well as natural organic matter (NOM), humic acid in particular, which can act as trihalomethane precursor, could be removed by conventional spiral wound nanofiltration (NF) technology, however, it often requires extensive pretreatment, thus had to increase greenhouse gas emission in the entire treatment process while solving human health issue. In order to address this contradiction, hollow fiber direct nanofiltration (dNF) technology has been developed. The technology has been used for various applications all over the world, which include color and OMP removal from the surface waters. These case studies are discussed in this paper together with key features of the dNF membrane technology.

    Nano–filtration (NF) membranes can selectively separate dissolved multivalent ions and monovalent ions generally. However, one downside of conventional ones is their vulnerability to highly acidic/alkaline solutions, limiting their application to solution in the neutral region. Another is insufficient selectivity for multivalent ions, hampering separation efficiency. Under these circumstances, we successfully created a highly durable & selective NF membrane. Additionally, we have developed a new membrane process utilizing this new membrane for resource recovery applications. Regarding the application to resource recovery of lithium from used lithium–ion batteries (LIBs), we are succeeded in recovering of lithium ion from mixed acidic solution with multivalent ions. If this is applied to LIB recycling system, it is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 30% or more compared to conventional wet refining process.
