A filtering device is for obtaining a chemical liquid by purifying a liquid to be purified, and the filtering device has an inlet portion, an outlet portion, a filter A, at least one filter B different from the filter A, and a flow path which includes the filter A and the filter B arranged in series and extends from the inlet portion to the outlet portion, in which the filter A is a porous membrane containing a polyimide-based resin.

Composite membrane tubing includes a porous scaffold support combined with polyether block amide copolymer. The composite membrane tubing has overlapping fusion areas that are an artifact of the manufacturing process. The methods of manufacturing above-mentioned composite membrane tubing have also been addressed. The composite membrane tubing can be reinforced with a structural mesh to further provide rigidity and strength. Composite membrane tubing or generally extruded tubing can be integrated into a multi-tube module for various applications.

The present disclosure relates to a method for treating a solvent in wastewater generated in a polycarbonate production process. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a method for treating a solvent in wastewater generated in a polycarbonate production process, which can easily recover a high purity solvent regardless of the concentration of the solvent by using a membrane distillation method to reuse it, and contribute to energy savings.

A semiconductor filter may be treated by fluorinating the surface of the filter. The filter has a polymer membrane held by a support structure within the filter's housing. The housing has an inlet and outlet for fluids being filtered, with the membrane held between the inlet and outlet. The support structure holds the membrane such that fluids flowing through the filter pass through the membrane. The treatment purges air from the filter before flowing a gas mixture including a fluorination agent through the filter, including the membrane.

Described are composite hollow fibers filter membranes that include a porous polymeric hollow fiber support and a filter layer; methods of making the composite hollow fibers and using the composite hollow fibers as a filter membrane; methods of making a filter component or filter from the composite hollow fiber; and filter components and filters that contain the composite hollow fibers as filter membranes.

Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to a microporous separator with a pore geometry that creates a low or no tortuosity architecture. In one embodiment, a battery cell may comprise of an anode layer, a cathode layer, and a separator layer positioned between the cathode layer and the anode layer. The separator layer may be comprised of one or more block copolymers. The block copolymers that make up the separator layer may be materials that self-align into a vertical nanostructure. The vertical nanostructures may allow ions within the battery cell to flow in a vertical path between the cathode and anode. This vertical path my create a low or no tortuosity environment within the battery cell.

A novel or improved base film for impregnation, impregnated base film, product incorporating the impregnated base film, and/or related methods as shown, claimed or described herein.

A method for preparing a nanoporous membrane includes alternatively repeating, on the surface of a porous substrate, the laminating of a hydrophilic homopolymer and the laminating of an amphiphilic block or graft copolymer to provide a polymer multilayer film in which the alternative laminate of the hydrophilic homopolymer and the amphiphilic block or graft copolymer is formed. The polymer multilayer film is annealed to form a microphase separated polymeric membrane. The laminating of a hydrophilic homopolymer and the laminating of a supramolecular structure compound are alternatively repeated, on the surface of the polymeric membrane, to form the alternative laminate of the hydrophilic homopolymer and the supramolecular structure compound.
