Our surface and drinking water sources are increasingly threatened by the presence of organic micropollutants (OMPs). OMPs are small molecules (100-1000 Da) that originate from industrial, agricultural and pharmaceutical residues, and can cause long-term harm to humans and ecosystems. While OMPs can be removed from water with existing membrane technologies (e.g., reverse osmosis), these methods have significant limitations: they are energy-intensive and lead to problematic brine waste streams, due to their low water and salt permeability. In this project I aim to solve these limitations by building charge-mosaic membranes; membranes with small (nm2) oppositely charged patches that allow…
