Abstract：

 The susceptibility to chlorination degradation has limited the further promotion and application of polyamide thin film composite membranes (PA-TFC membranes) in desalination and industrial separation fields. In this regard, this paper summarizes the current status of research on the chlorination mechanism of PA-TFC membranes attacked by active chlorine. On this basis, we review the latest research progress on chlorine-resistant modification of PA-TFC membranes from the composite membrane structure, including surface modification, PA layer modification, support layer modification and construction of new chlorine-resistant separation layer. Finally, a summary and an outlook are given to provide references for improving the chlorine resistance and long-term operational stability of PA-TFC membranes.
