[PMID: 36623590 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.137669] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2022] [Revised: 12/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Membrane technology utilizing ultrafiltration (UF) processes has emerged as the most widely used and cost-effective simple process in many industrial applications. The industries like textiles and petroleum refining are promptly required membrane based UF processes to alleviate the potential environmental threat caused by the generation of various wastewater. At the same time, major limitations such as material selection as well as fouling behavior challenge the overall performance of UF membranes, particularly in wastewater treatment. Therefore, a complete discussion on material design with structural property relation and separation performance of UF membranes is always exciting. This state-of-the-art review has exclusively focused on the development of UF membranes, the material design, properties, progress in separation processes, and critical challenges. So far, most of the review articles have examined the UF membrane processes through a selected track of paving typical materials and their limited applications. In contrast, in this review, we have exclusively aimed at comprehensive research from material selection and fabrication methods to all the possible applications of UF membranes, giving more attention and theoretical understanding to the complete development of high-performance UF systems. We have discussed the methodical engineering behind the development of UF membranes regardless of their materials and fabrication mechanisms. Identifying the utility of UF membrane systems in various applications, as well as their mode of separation processes, has been well discussed. Overall, the current review conveys the knowledge of the present-day significance of UF membranes together with their future prospective opportunities whilst overcoming known difficulties in many potential applications.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 762:143083. [PMID: 33162134 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.143083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2020] [Revised: 09/29/2020] [Accepted: 10/12/2020] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
Multifunctional ultrafiltration membranes, which achieve ultrafiltration and additional functions in one unit, are a new strategy developed in recent years for wastewater treatment. In this mini review, we summarized and commented on the development of adsorptive and catalytically oxidative multifunctional ultrafiltration membranes, as well as pointed out possible further trends. The main methods for membrane preparation, i.e., blending, surface coating, reverse filtration, etc., were summarized, and the advantages and disadvantages of each method were discussed. In addition, the key criteria which influence the performance of membranes, including the efficiency of additional functions, original ultrafiltration, permeance, and stability, were analyzed. Furthermore, we introduced the applications of different classes of multifunctional ultrafiltration membranes, and tried to further analyzed some examples of multifunctional ultrafiltration membranes used for adsorption and catalytic oxidation. The most significant advantage of this technology is the high efficiency for the simultaneous removal of different kinds of pollutants or for the removal of one kind of pollutant during the deep treatment of multicomponent wastewater. However, some challenges still oppose the practical application of multifunctional ultrafiltration. We believe that breaking the trade-off between the high efficiency of additional functions and high flux, strengthening the stability of the membranes, achieving synergistic effects between multi-effect functions, and investigating the interaction mechanisms between active materials and the membrane are key points for further research.

Abstract
Nitrogen-doped porous graphene oxide (N-PGO) was synthesized, characterized, and applied as a hydrophilic nanomaterial in fabrication of polyethersulfone (PES) membrane for Reactive Red 195 dye and bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein separation. The N-PGO nanosheets not merely showed a good adhesion towards polymers, but simultaneously promoted hydrogen bonding action. Therefore, high-efficiency permeation passageway in the separation layer of membranes was attained. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX) and Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses approved nitrogen doping, which increased hydrophilicity and hydrogen bonding ability of PGO in water filtration. The pure water permeation of nanocomposite membranes could reach as high as 190 L m-2 h-1 at 3 bar. A dye rejection efficiency higher than 92% and BSA rejection higher than 95% were accordingly obtained. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) images approved formation of a rough surface that was decreased by addition of low amounts of the PGO. SEM images provided from the surface also confirmed enlarged pore size and increased porosity. Antifouling properties were investigated by BSA filtration, and results showed that the flux recovery ratio of the N-PGO membrane was improved. Overall, the N-PGO hybrid membranes exhibited potential for application in separation of typical proteins and dyes with good antifouling properties.

Abstract
Dual antifouling and antibacterial polysulfone(PSf)/polyethersulfone(PES) hybrid membranes were developed by the synergy of capsaicin-mimic N-(5-methyl acrylamide-2,3,4 hydroxy benzyl) acrylamide (AMTHBA) and vinyl triethylene (b-methoxy ethoxy) silane (VTMES). First, AMTHBA as a natural antimicrobial agent was incorporated into a casting solution via "microwave-assistance (MWA) in situ polymerization-blending" process to construct a hydroxyl-rich environment. Then, VTMES crosslinked to a hydroxyl-rich polymer matrix via hydrolytic condensation, and the influence of VTMES content on the hybrid membrane properties was systematically investigated. When the VTMES added amount was 1.0 wt %, the hybrid membrane achieved an optimal separation performance including a steady-state humic acid (HA) (5 mg/L) permeation flux of 326 L·m-2·h-1 and a rejection percentage of 97%. The antibacterial tests revealed that the hybrid membranes exhibited sustained bactericidal activity and effective inhibition of bacterial adhesion. Besides, the dual-functional membranes were clean as new after two-cycles filtration (with a cleaning efficiency of ~90%), indicating that the network silicone film on the surface benefits the foulant repellence. Hopefully, the dual-functional membranes constructed in this study can be applicable to the pretreatment stage of water treatment.
