  • Systems for water extraction for up-concentration of organic solutes
    Patent number: 11813579
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a water extraction system for up-concentration of organic solutes comprising a flow cell comprising a membrane; said membrane comprising an active layer comprising immobilized aquaporin water channels and a support layer, and said membrane having a feed side and a non-feed side; and an aqueous source solution in fluid communication with the feed side of the membrane. The system also includes an aqueous source solution in fluid communication with the feed side of the membrane and an aqueous draw solution in fluid communication with the draw side of the membrane. The aqueous source solution comprises the organic solutes. The membrane module comprises an inlet and an outlet for the aqueous draw solution. The aquaporin vesicles are formed by self-assembly of block copolymers in the presence of an aquaporin protein suspension.

  • SCAFFOLD FOR COMPOSITE BIOMIMETIC MEMBRANE
    Publication number: 20110020950
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a membrane scaffold comprising a planar material having a hydrophobic surface and a functional area comprising a plurality of apertures. The apertures have a diameter of from about 80 ?m to about 3000 ?m and the rims of the apertures comprise bulges extending above and/or below the surface level of the planar material. The membrane scaffold is useful in the preparation of a composite biomimetic membrane wherein functional channel forming molecules have been incorporated in said membrane.
