Fabrication of polyamide thin-film nano-composite (PA-TFN) membrane with hydrophilized ordered mesoporous carbon (H-OMC) for water purifications

► Atmospheric pressure plasma application on ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs). ► Dispersion tests in aqueous solution of hydrophilized OMCs (H-OMCs). ► Fabrication of thin-film nano composite (TFN) membrane by H-OMCs. ► Effect of concentration of nano-fillers and TFN surface characteristics. ► Pure water permeability, salt rejection and protein adsorption tests for TFN.
