NF membrane performance in terms of permeate volume flux density and rejection OF neutral solutes was investigated in temperature cycles. The modeling of rejection using a hindered transport theory showed irreversible and opposite pore size changes for the two groups of NF membranes when the maximum operating temperature of the cycle exceeded the glass-transition temperature of the TAL. A mechanism of pore deformation is proposed to explain the variation of the solute transport properties as a function of the temperature and the polymer physical state in the TAL. %G English %L hal-00439696 %U https://hal.science/hal-00439696 %~ UNIV-TLSE3 %~ IRSAMC %~ LPT %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ ENSC-MONTPELLIER %~ IEM %~ LPT_PHY %~ INC-CNRS %~ CHIMIE %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UNIV-UT3 %~ UT3-INP %~ UT3-TOULOUSEINP %~ UM1-UM2 %~ TEST2-HALCNRS
