[PMID: 38382717 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024]
Abstract
Considerable advancements have been made in the development of hydrophobic membranes for membrane distillation (MD). Nonetheless, the environmentally responsible disposal of these membranes poses a critical concern due to their synthetic composition. Herein, an eco-friendly dual-layered biopolymer-based membrane was fabricated for water desalination. The membrane was electrospun from two bio-polymeric layers. The top hydrophobic layer comprises polycaprolactone (PCL) and the bottom hydrophilic layer from cellulose acetate (CA). Additionally, silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) were electrosprayed onto the top layer of the dual-layered PCL/CA membrane to enhance the hydrophobicity. The desalination performance of the modified PCL-SiO2/CA membrane was compared with the unmodified PCL/CA membrane using a direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) unit. Results revealed that silica remarkably improves membrane hydrophobicity. The modified PCL-SiO2/CA membrane demonstrated a significant increase in water contact angle of 152.4° compared to 119° for the unmodified membrane. In addition, PCL-SiO2/CA membrane has a smaller average pore size of 0.23 ± 0.16 μm and an exceptional liquid entry pressure of water (LEPw), which is 3.8 times higher than that of PCL/CA membrane. Moreover, PCL-SiO2/CA membrane achieved a durable permeate flux of 15.6 kg/m2.h, while PCL/CA membrane showed unstable permeate flux decreasing approximately from 25 to 12 kg/m2.h over the DCMD test time. Furthermore, the modified PCL-SiO2/CA membrane achieved a high salt rejection value of 99.97% compared to a low value of 86.2% for the PCL/CA membrane after 24 h continuous DCMD operation. In conclusion, the proposed modified PCL-SiO2/CA dual-layer biopolymeric-based membrane has considerable potential to be used as an environmentally friendly membrane for the MD process.

Activities of cellulose acetate and microcrystalline cellulose on the thermal and morphomechanical performances of a biobased hybrid composite made polybutylene succinate. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126918. [PMID: 37717876 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126918] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2022] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/19/2023]
Abstract
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC-30 wt%) was extruded with a blend of polybutylene succinate (PBS) and cellulose acetate (CADS=2.5-20 wt%) to produce two grades of binary (PBS/CA, PBS/MCC) and ternary (PBS/CA/MCC) specimens by injection into a mold previously thermostated at 22 °C and 78 °C. The structure-property relationships of neat PBS (n-PBS) and PBS-based blends were investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), rheology, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry, and mechanical (tensile, bending) tests. FTIR/DRIFT outcomes revealed physical interactions between the ingredients through hydrogen bonds. Rheology and SEM evidenced the presence of entanglements and micro-voids absent in n-PBS. Non-isothermal DSC showed that 22 °C-molded formulations displayed crystalline degrees higher than 78 °C-specimens, except for PBS/MCC. DSC-isothermal analysis showed a hindrance effect of CA on PBS/CA crystallinity and a nucleating impact of MCC on PBS/MCC. Tensile and bending moduli increased for both material grades while the elongation at break decreased. Entanglements and micro-voids had detrimental effects on stress levels because the maximum tensile strength decreased when each or both biofillers were added to PBS. These structural configurations were beneficial for bending strengths since all blends' stiffness relatively increased regardless of material grade.

Abstract
Biobased membranes made with green solvents have numerous advantages in the water purification industry; however, their long-term use is impeded by severe membrane fouling and low structural stability. Herein, we proposed a facile and green approach to fabricate an eco-friendly and biodegradable electrospun membrane by simply blending polycaprolactone (PCL) with sulfonated kraft lignin (SKL) in a green solvent (i.e., acetic acid) without needing any additional post-treatment. We investigated the influence of SKL content on the surface morphology, chemical composition, and mechanical properties of the electrospun membrane. The SKL-modified membranes (L-5 and L-10) showed superhydrophilicity and underwater superoleophobicity with a water contact angle (WCA) of 0° (<3 s) and an underwater-oil contact angle (UWOCA) over 150° due to the combined effect of surface roughness and hydrophilic chemical functionality. Furthermore, the as-prepared membranes demonstrated excellent pure water flux of 800-900 LMH and an emulsion flux of 170-480 LMH during the gravity-driven filtration of three surfactant-stabilized oil-in-water emulsions, namely, mineral oil/water, gasoline/water, and n-hexadecane/water emulsions. In addition, these membranes exhibited superior antioil-fouling performance with excellent separation efficiency (97-99%) and a high flux recovery ratio (>98%). The 10 wt % SKL-incorporated membrane (L-10) also showed consistent separation performance after 10 cyclic tests, indicating its excellent reusability and recyclability. Furthermore, the stability of the membrane under harsh pH conditions was also evaluated and proved to be robust enough to maintain its wettability in a wide pH range (pH 1-10).

Abstract
Membrane technology is an efficient way to purify water, but it generates non-biodegradable biohazardous waste. This waste ends up in landfills, incinerators, or microplastics, threatening the environment. To address this, research is being conducted to develop compostable alternatives that are sustainable and ecofriendly. Bioplastics, which are expected to capture 40% of the market share by 2030, represent one such alternative. This review examines the feasibility of using synthetic biodegradable materials beyond cellulose and chitosan for water treatment, considering cost, carbon footprint, and stability in mechanical, thermal, and chemical environments. Although biodegradable membranes have the potential to close the recycling loop, challenges such as brittleness and water stability limit their use in membrane applications. The review suggests approaches to tackle these issues and highlights recent advances in the field of biodegradable membranes for water purification. The end-of-life perspective of these materials is also discussed, as their recyclability and compostability are critical factors in reducing the environmental impact of membrane technology. This review underscores the need to develop sustainable alternatives to conventional membrane materials and suggests that biodegradable membranes have great potential to address this challenge.

Abstract
Developing biodegradable polymers to fabricate filtration membranes is one of the main challenges of membrane science and technology. Cellulose acetate (CA) membranes, due to their excellent film-forming property, high chemical and mechanical stability, high hydrophilicity, eco-friendly, and suitable cost, are extensively used in water and wastewater treatment, gas separation, and energy generation purposes. The CA is one of the first materials used to fabricate filtration membranes. However, in the last decade, the possibility of modification of CA to improve permeability and stability has attracted the researcher's attention again. This review is focused on the properties of cellulose derivatives and especially CA membranes in the fabrication of polymeric separation membranes in various applications such as filtration, gas separation, adsorption, and ion exchange membranes. Firstly, a brief introduction of CA properties and used molecular weights in the fabrication of membranes will be presented. After that, different configurations of CA membranes will be outlined, and the performance of CA membranes in several applications and configurations as the main polymer and as an additive in the fabrication of other polymer-based membranes will be discussed.

Abstract
This research focused on developing an eco-friendly packaging for food products through blending polycaprolactone (PCL) and polylactic acid (PLA) as two biodegradable polymers, and green tea extract (GTE) as a natural antioxidant pushing the films toward active packaging; thereby, the morphological, mechanical, thermal, barrier, antioxidant, and biodegradation features of the composite films were analyzed. The films containing 30% PLA exhibited a reduction of 14.96%, 38.89%, 8.75%, and 35.55% in the hydrophilicity, water-solubility, water vapor permeability (WVP), and oxygen transition rate (OTR), respectively. Furthermore, GTE incorporation led to antioxidant behavior as well as better barrier properties (up to 6.25% decrease in WVP and 55.78% in OTR), mechanical properties (an increase of 14.96%, 38.89%, and 8.75% in elastic modulus, tensile strength, and elongation at break, respectively) and biodegradable rate (124.13%). Indeed, the presence of polyphenol compounds in green tea improved molecular interaction between the polymers and launched a co-continuous structure and an unparalleled level of compatibility, which was also approved by the changes in FTIR spectra of the PCL/PLA films. These results demonstrate the benefits of blending PLA with PCL and GTE integration in terms of operational enhancement and film activating, respectively, to provide reliable food packaging.

Abstract
In this study, poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) dual-layer membranes filled with 0-3 wt% cellulose nanowhisker (CNWs) were fabricated with aim to remove metal ions from wastewater. An integrated method was employed in the membrane fabrication process by combining water vapor-induced and crystallization-induced phase inversions. The membrane thickness was measured in between 11 and 13 μm, which did not pose significant flux deviation during filtration process. The 3% CNW filled membrane showed prominent and well-laminated two layers structure. Meanwhile, the increase in CNWs from 0 to 3% loadings could improve the membrane porosity (43-74%) but reducing pore size (2.45-0.54 μm). The heat resistance of neat membrane enhanced by 1% CNW but decreased with loadings of 2-3% CNWs due to flaming behavior of sulphated nanocellulose. Membrane with 3% CNW displayed the tensile strength (23.5 MPa), elongation at break (7.1%), and Young's modulus (0.75 GPa) as compared to other samples. For wastewater filtration performance, the continuous operation test showed that 3% CNW filled membrane exhibited the highest removal efficiency for both cobalt and nickel metal ions reaching to 83% and 84%, respectively. We concluded that CNWs filled dual-layer membranes have potential for future development in the removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater streams.

Abstract
We prepared a self-dispersed cellulose-based microgel via chemically bonding hydrophilic gelatin peptide chain onto cellulose glucose chain. Following, a variety of highly transparent, foldable, and writable photoluminescent polymer films was obtained through loading organic dyes and inorganic pigments onto cellulose-based microgel matrix, respectively. Benefiting from the coupling sites and network effect of microgel as well as the abundant hydroxyl, amino, and imino groups in its structure, the microgel containing organic dyes and inorganic pigments exhibit good dispersion and stability, and the resultant photoluminescent films emit bright yellow, orange, yellow-green, and blue-green fluorescence under UV light, respectively, especially the cellulose-based microgel stabilized inorganic alkaline earth aluminate hybrids exhibit continuous luminescence for a long time in the dark. Compared with the existing regenerated cellulose or CNCs-based fluorescent films, the cellulose-based microgel fluorescent films present higher transmittance and good biodegradability. This study can bring new ideas for the development of flexible luminescent devices.

Abstract
Cellulose acetate (CA) ultrafiltration membranes are attracting more attention in wastewater purification due to its biodegradability and eco-friendly. The application of CA membranes, however, is limited by high susceptibility to bacterial corrosion and lack of mechanical tolerance that results in loss of life. To solve the above problems, we first fabricated the CA-based composite membranes incorporated with bamboo-based lignocellulose nanofibrils (LCNFs) by a strategy of phase inversion. LCNFs was prepared by using a combined method of one-step chemical pretreatment and acid hydrolysis coupled with high-pressure homogenization. The as-prepared CA/LCNFs composite membranes with 4 wt% lignin in the LCNFs exhibited high tensile strength of 7.08 MPa and strain-at-break of 12.21%, and high filtration permeability of 188.23 L·m-2·h-1 as ultrafiltration membranes for wastewater treatment, which could obviously inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli.

Abstract
Background: Attempts to modify the morphology of membrane for application in industrial separation are being undertaken by many researchers. The present study discusses the morphological modification of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane by combining the hydrophilic surfactant Pluronic F127 (PF127) in a polymer solution to improve the performance of the membrane. Method: The membrane is formed using the non-solvent induced-phase separation (NIPS) method. PF127 is added to the membrane solution as a membrane modifying agent. The effects of the surfactant concentration in the dope solution on the permeability of pure water, solute rejection, hydrophilic characteristics, and membrane morphology are investigated. Results: Higher concentrations of PF127 had a significant effect on the permeability of pure water. The highest membrane permeation was 45.65 l/m 2.hr.atm with the addition of 7% PF127 additive. Conclusion: PF127 is successfully proposed as a membrane pore-forming agent in this work; the blending of this additive in appropriate amounts in the polymer solution is adequate to improve the performance of the PVC membrane.
