Abstract A tree-type nanoporous filtering membrane with complex pores is proposed. The membrane consists of three kinds of concentric cylindrical pores
across the membrane thickness i.e. the four branch pores for filtration, the one flow-collecting pore and the one flow resistance-reducing pore. The
ratio of the radius of the flow resistance-reducing pore to that of the filtration pore is optimized for yielding the highest flux of the membrane. The
dimensionless lowest flow resistance of the membrane in the optimum condition was typically calculated for different filtration pore radii and different
passing liquid-pore wall interactions. The capability More >
