Described herein are water desalination membranes and methods of desalinating water. Sulfonated poly(arylene ether) polymers are also disclosed, including those comprising one or more sulfonate groups at various points along the polymer chain. The polymers may be used as at least a portion of a water desalination membrane. The polymers described herein are useful for preventing transport of aqueous ionic species (e.g., Na.sup.+ and Cl.sup.−) across a membrane made from the polymers while allowing water to pass. Chlorine-stable polymers are described, as well as polymers exhibiting good performance for rejecting monovalent cations in the presence of polyvalent cations.

The present invention relates to a phosphate adsorbing agent for blood processing comprising a porous formed article comprising an organic polymer resin and an inorganic ion adsorbent and having the most frequent pore size of 0.08 to 0.70 μm measured with a mercury porosimeter. The present invention also relates to a blood processing system and a blood processing method involving the phosphate adsorbing agent for blood processing.

The present disclosure discloses a spacer tube reverse osmosis (STRO) membrane and a preparation method thereof, which relates to the technical field of reverse osmosis membranes. The preparation method of the STRO membrane specifically comprises the following steps: S101: preparation of a zirconia sol; S102: preparation of a casting solution; S103: preparation of a polysulfone ultrafiltration membrane; S104: immersion; and S105: coating. In the preparation method of the present disclosure, an ionic liquid and high-pressure-resistant particles are introduced into an ultrafiltration layer, the ionic liquid is cross-linked with the ultrafiltration layer in the process of interfacial polymerization, and a layer of the ionic liquid is coated on a surface, so that a three-layer high-performance three-dimensional crosslinking system is formed via the ionic liquid. The ionic liquid is prevented from falling off and dispersing in an oil phase solution, and the pressure resistance and hydrophilic performance of the STRO membrane is greatly improved. The STRO membrane is more suitable for using in high-pressure and high-concentration environments. By combining the ionic liquid with the zirconia sol, the STRO membrane of the present disclosure has higher tensile strength and pressure resistance compared with the reverse osmosis membrane prepared by other modified additives. In addition, the flux and desalination rate of the STRO membrane are also improved compared with the conventional reverse osmosis membranes.

A polymer film has a loofah-like structure. It has a fibrous framework structure formed by three-dimensional interwoven and interconnected polymer fibers and a three-dimensional interconnected network pore structure distributed in the fibrous framework structure. The polymer is an organic polymer and the fibrous framework structure is integrally formed by the polymer. The film has a volume porosity of from 50% to 95%. The film is obtained by means of a combination method for atomization pretreatment and non-solvent phase separation. The film can be used in the fields of gas filtration, liquid filtration, oil-water separation, adsorption materials, catalysis, pharmaceutical sustained release materials, anti-adhesion coatings, oil delivery and oil spill interception.
