Abstract
Recently, there has been an active search for new modifiers to create hybrid polymeric materials for various applications, in particular, membrane technology. One of the topical modifiers is metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which can significantly alter the characteristics of obtained mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). In this work, new holmium-based MOFs (Ho-MOFs) were synthesized for polyether block amide (PEBA) modification to develop novel MMMs with improved properties. The study of Ho-MOFs, polymers and membranes was carried out by methods of X-ray phase analysis, scanning electron and atomic force microscopies, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption, dynamic and kinematic viscosity, static and dynamic light scattering, gel permeation chromatography, thermogravimetric analysis and contact angle measurements. Synthesized Ho-MOFs had different X-ray structures, particle forms and sizes depending on the ligand used. To study the effect of Ho-MOF modifier on membrane transport properties, PEBA/Ho-MOFs membrane retention capacity was evaluated in vacuum fourth-stage filtration for dye removal (Congo Red, Fuchsin, Glycine thymol blue, Methylene blue, Eriochrome Black T). Modified membranes demonstrated improved flux and rejection coefficients for dyes containing amino groups: Congo Red, Fuchsin (PEBA/Ho-1,3,5-H3btc membrane possessed optimal properties: 81% and 68% rejection coefficients for Congo Red and Fuchsin filtration, respectively, and 0.7 L/(m2s) flux).

Abstract
Techniques using membranes for the treatment of wastewaters usually promote higher quality of treated water when compared to other processes. Among them, pervaporation has advantages in terms of selectivity in addition to low working pressure, which can prevent clogging problems. Polysulfone and polyurethane have complementary characteristics and are interesting in the context of membranes for industrial applications. In this sense, the aim of this work was to prepare and characterize polysulfone/polyurethane-based membranes and tested them with a simulated wastewater containing the reactive black dye and sodium chloride by pervaporation. In their manufacture, thermal treatment (at 60°C) and photo-radiation treatment (using ultraviolet light) were also applied. The characterizations were performed using different analytical tools. In general, it was possible to verify that all membranes have a dense layer. The thermal analysis allowed to define that the indicated working temperature is below 50°C. With respect to the simulated wastewater treatment, all membranes reached 100% selectivity. Concerning the saline solution, the mean selectivity was around 98.5%. Moreover, the permeate flow values were within the range presented by commercial membranes ranging from 1.6 to 2.4 kg m-2 h-1. Although for the photoirradiated membranes the photo-graft reaction has occurred, among all membranes, the blend without any treatment stood out from the others, presenting the highest permeate flow of the simulated wastewater. Finally, the results reveal that these membranes are capable of recovering wastewater from textile processes, in addition to having the potential to remove salts from water through the pervaporation process.Highlights Polysulfone/polyurethane-based membranes were not yet evaluated for wastewater recovery.Modifications in the membrane characteristics promoted variations in the permeate flow.Changes in physical-chemical properties of membrane as a result of a photoinitiation reaction.Removal efficiency achieved was 100% for reactive black dye and 98.5% for sodium chloride.A new way of performing pervaporation on the recovery of aqueous solutions.

Abstract
In the present study, novel styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) membranes were prepared by the addition of graphene (Gr) nanosheets to the casting solution and were utilized in the pervaporative separation of a dilute solution of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene (1,2,4-TMB) as a volatile organic compound (VOC) in water. Several characterizations such as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), mechanical tensile test, and determination of water contact angle and swelling degree were conducted to investigate the properties of the prepared membranes. The results showed that with the addition of Gr the membrane thermal stability and hydrophobicity were increased while there was an optimum Gr loading to achieve the highest elastic modulus and tensile strength. Moreover, it was found that by increasing the Gr concentration up to 0.5 wt. %, the separation factor and pervaporation separation index (PSI) were increased by 250% and 43% compared to pure SBS membrane and reached 930 and 545 kg/m2h, respectively.

Abstract
Abstract
Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) with superior structural and functional properties provide an interesting approach to enhance the separation properties of polymer membranes. As a matter of fact, MMMs combine the advantages of both components; polymeric continuous phase and nanoparticle dispersed phase. Generally, the separation performance of polymeric membranes suffers from an upper-performance limit. Hence, the incorporation of nanoparticles helps to overcome such limitations. Block copolymers such as poly(ether-block-amide) (PEBA) composed of immiscible soft ether segments as well as hard amide segments have been shown as excellent materials for the synthesis of membranes. Consequently, PEBA membranes have been extensively used in scientific research and industrial processes. It is thus aimed to provide an overview of PEBA MMMs. This review is especially devoted to summarizing the effects of nanoparticle loading on PEBA performance and properties such as selectivity, permeability, thermal and mechanical properties, and others. In addition, the preparation techniques of PEBA MMMs and solvent selection are discussed. This article also discusses the many types of nanoparticles incorporated into PEBA membranes. Furthermore, the future direction in PEBA MMMs research for separation processes is briefly predicted.
