Abstract
In the field of membrane separation, the environmental concerns caused by spent membranes are becoming increasingly serious, which contradicts the concept of sustainable development. Based on this, a biodegradable poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) membrane was used for the first time in the pervaporation separation of phenol, a high boiling point organic compound (HBOC). By using the PBAT membrane, outstanding separation efficiency was achieved, and environmental pollution and disposal issues were also avoided. The separation process and mechanism of the PBAT membrane were systematically studied through the experiment together with molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The swelling experiment and intermolecular interaction energy calculation demonstrated that the PBAT membrane had a strong affinity for phenol. Further simulation concluded that higher phenol concentration increased the number of hydrogen bonds so that the membrane was more greatly swollen. Meanwhile, the simulations on the adsorption, diffusion and permeation predicted that the PBAT membrane had excellent separation performance for phenol. Besides MD simulation, the influences of feed concentration and temperature on pervaporation performance were also investigated by experiment. The results showed that the flux of each component increased with the feed concentration. This phenomenon was attributed to the preferential adsorption of phenol by the PBAT membrane, which resulted in large free volumes and cavities within the membrane, accelerating the diffusion of molecules. In addition, it was found that the optimal operating temperature was 333 K with the best separation performance. This study confirms that the biodegradable PBAT membrane is valuable for the recovery of high boiling point organic compounds (HBOCs) such as phenol.

Abstract
Molecular simulation has been used extensively in the study of pervaporation membranes as a new economical and environmentally friendly research method. In this paper, A-SiO2/PDMS-PTFE mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were prepared by molecular-simulation-guided experiments to achieve the separation of dimethyl carbonate/methanol (DMC/MeOH)) azeotropes. The interaction energy, X-ray diffraction pattern mean square displacement, and density field between PDMS and inorganic particles were analyzed by molecular dynamics simulations. The dissolution and diffusion processes of the DMC/MeOH azeotropes system in the MMM were simulated, and the surface-silylated silica (A-SiO2) with relatively better performance was screened. Based on the simulation results, A-SiO2/PDMS-PTFE MMMs were prepared by the coblending method, and the pervaporation separation performance of MMM membranes for DMC/MeOH azeotropes with different A-SiO2 loadings was investigated. When the A-SiO2 loading was 15 wt %, the separation factor of DMC/MeOH azeotropes at 50 °C was 4.74 and the flux was 1178 g m-2 h-1, which was consistent with the expected results of the simulation. The MMMs showed good stability in pervaporation over a period of up to 120 h. This study demonstrates that molecular simulations can provide a viable means for pretest screening and validation of experimental mechanisms, and to a certain extent, guide the design and optimization of pervaporation membranes.

Abstract
The structure, thermophysical characteristics, and pervaporation properties of composite membranes based on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) are studied in dependence of the film preparation conditions. It is shown that the nature of the supramolecular organization of the composite polymer film determines which of the components of the separated mixtures of toluene and heptane predominantly penetrate through the corresponding pervaporation membrane. The observed structural effects can become more pronounced if the second component of a polymer mixture is purposefully selected (in this case, poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) instead of poly(acrylic acid)) or a nano-sized filler that can be well dispersed in the polymer matrix is introduced. Multi-wall carbon nanotubes are introduced into binary PVA-containing polymer blends. The influence of these fillers on the structure and transport properties of the obtained membranes is studied.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a remarkably strong oxidant, and its vapour ([H2O2]g) has further advantages, such as a low cost and good light transmission. However, there has been very little research on its removal through gas-phase advanced oxidation (GPAO). In the present study, the photochemical oxidation of a gas that contains a series of benzene derivatives using ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and [H2O2]g was investigated in a transparent bag made of fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP). UV and [H2O2]g barely reduced the pollutant within 5 h when used alone, and the reactant was also stable. When the pollutant concentration was high (248 to 756 mg/m3) and the residence time was short (3 s) compared with related studies on the removal of benzene, toluene and xylene, the apparent removal rate by UV/[H2O2]g/(powder active carbon, PAC) was higher than when other methods (UV/[H2O2]g, UV/[H2O2]g/TiO2 and UV/[H2O2]g/ZnO), were used. However, it was found that the mineralization by UV/[H2O2]g significantly decreased, which in turn decreased the conductivity after the reaction. Increasing the pollutant concentration and the pH of the H2O2 had a negative effect on the treatment, but the UV radiation had a positive effect at powers of up to 40 W. In addition, the characteristic absorbance of three benzene derivatives showed that the key structure of the pollutant molecules was damaged during GPAO.

Abstract
In this study, zeolite molecular sieve SAPO-34/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were prepared to recover propane. n-Octyltrichlorosilane (OTCS) was introduced to improve compatibility between SAPO-34 and PDMS, and enhance the separation performance of the MMMs. Physicochemical properties of the MMMs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and water contact angle (WCA). Results showed that, after modification, alkyl chains were successfully grafted onto SAPO-34 without changing its crystal structure, particles in the MMMs were evenly distributed in the base film, and the hydrophobicity of the MMMs was enhanced. Moreover, the effects of SAPO-34 filling content, operating pressure, and feed gas concentration on the separation performance was explored. This indicated that the modification with OTCS effectively enhanced the separation performance of SAPO-34/PDMS MMMs. When the filling content of modified SAPO-34 was 15%, the maximal separation factor of 22.1 was achieved, and the corresponding propane permeation rate was 101 GPU.

Abstract
Alicyclic polyimides (PIs) have excellent properties in solubility, mechanical strength, thermal property, etc. This study developed two types of alicyclic PI-based mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for water/n-butanol pervaporation application, which have never been investigated previously. The fillers were hydrophilic SiO2 nanoparticles. The synthesized PI was mixed with SiO2 nanoparticles in DMAc to make the casting solution, and a liquid film was formed over PET substrate using doctor blade. A dense MMM was fabricated at 80 °C and further treated via multi-stage curing (100–170 °C). The prepared membranes were characterized by FTIR, TGA, FE-SEM, water contact angle, and solvent swelling. The trends of pure solvent swelling effects agree well with the water contact angle results. Moreover, the pervaporation efficiencies of alicyclic PI/SiO2 MMMs for 85 wt% n-butanol aqueous solution at 40 °C were investigated. The results showed that BCDA-3,4′-ODA/SiO2 MMMs had a larger permeation flux and higher separation factor than BCDA-1,3,3-APB/SiO2 MMMs. For both types of MMMs, the separation factor increased first and then decreased, with increasing SiO2 loading. Based on the PSI performance, the optimal SiO2 content was 0.5 wt% for BCDA-3,4′-ODA/SiO2 MMMs and 5 wt% for BCDA-1,3,3-APB/SiO2 MMMs. The overall separation efficiency of BCDA-3,4′-ODA-based membranes was 10–30-fold higher.

Abstract
Organophosphorus polyurethane ionomers (AEPA-PU) based on aminoethers of ortho-phosphoric acid (AEPA) were obtained and studied as pervaporation membrane materials for separating isopropanol/water mixtures. The regularities of the change in the water vapor permeability of AEPA-PU were also investigated. It has been established that an increase of solute content in the composition of the urethane-forming system and the content of ionogenic groups in AEPA leads to a noticeable increase in the vapor permeability of the resulting film materials. An increase in water vapor permeability values is accompanied by a significant increase in the pervaporation characteristics of AEPU-PU. It was shown that the conditions promoting clustering of phosphate anions cause an increase in the values of the vapor permeability coefficient of AEPA-PU obtained using polyoxypropylene glycol. However, the hydrophobicity of the polypropylene glycol surrounding the clusters makes it difficult for water to move through the polymer matrix. Due to the hydrophilicity of polyoxyethylene glycol, the highest values of water vapor permeability and pervaporation characteristics are achieved for AEPA-PU synthesized using PEG.

Abstract
Pervaporation (PV) has been an intriguing membrane technology for separating liquid mixtures since its commercialization in the 1980s. The design of highly permselective materials used in this respect has made significant improvements in separation properties, such as selectivity, permeability, and long-term stability. Mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs), featuring inorganic fillers dispersed in a polymer matrix to form an organic-inorganic hybrid, have opened up a new avenue to facilely obtain high-performance PV membranes. The combination of inorganic fillers in a polymer matrix endows high flexibility in designing the required separation properties of the membranes, in which various fillers provide specific functions correlated to the separation process. This review discusses recent advances in the use of nanofillers in PV MMMs categorized by dimensions including zero-, one-, two- and three-dimensional nanomaterials. Furthermore, the impact of the nanofillers on the polymer matrix is described to provide in-depth understanding of the structure-performance relationship. Finally, the applications of nanofillers in MMMs for PV separation are summarized.

Abstract
In this study, functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-NH2) were synthesized as an additive for the preparation of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) and then were investigated by FTIR and FE-SEM techniques. Polyether sulfone (PES) polymeric membrane modified with functionalized MWCNT-NH2 carbon nanotubes was prepared by phase inversion method. The effect of MWCNT-NH2 on the morphology and property of the PES membrane was evaluated using scanning electron microscopy. The flux, enrichment factor and swelling properties of modified membranes were also used to investigate the membranes performance. The results showed that the flux and enrichment factor in modified PES membrane containing 5 wt.% of functionalized MWCNT-NH2 carbon nanotubes were obtained 1.2 L.m-2h-1 and 3.3, respectively. The influence of methanol concentration on the flux and enrichment factor was investigated. The results corroborated that the flux didn’t change significantly, while the enrichment factor was decreased.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2020; 261:110189. [PMID: 32148265 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2020.110189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2019] [Revised: 12/28/2019] [Accepted: 01/21/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The removal of styrene from wastewater by pervaporation was investigated by using composite PDMS membranes filled with reduced graphene oxide on PES support layers. Graphene oxide was synthesized through modified Hummers' method and then chemically reduced. The filler was characterized by TEM, SEM, XRD, and AFM. The top layers with different PDMS molecular weights were cast on the PES supports, which were prepared by phase inversion method. The characterizations of prepared membranes were investigated by SEM, AFM, contact angle measurement, TGA, and DSC. It was observed that presence of the filler in the polymeric matrix controls the swelling of the membrane and enhances its solubility parameter in favor of styrene. Moreover, it significantly improves the thermal stability of the membranes. The mechanism of separation in the process was found to be affected mainly by enhancing in the membrane's solubility rather than in its diffusivity. The pervaporative performance of prepared membranes showed their great affinity toward styrene so that the separation factor of the optimum membrane (M2/S) was increased about 250% (600.4 in comparison to 241.4 for the unfilled membrane) while its total flux was decreased from 772.5 g m-2.h-1for the unfilled membrane to 321.9 g m-2.h-1. Increasing the molecular weight of PDMS lowered the optimal rGO content due to the complexity of the diffusion path and occupation of free volume by longer polymer chains. Accordingly, a lower total flux (124.7 g m-2.h-1 for high MW compared to 718.0 g m-2.h-1 for low MW) and higher separation factor (822.5 for high MW compared to 230.8 for low MW) were yielded for the same filler content (0.1 wt% rGO).

Abstract
1-Aminopyridinium iodide (iodine salt) was used in CO2 separation composites consisting of CdO and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIM+BF4−). Using iodine salt, the separation performance was largely improved. The CO2/N2 selectivity was 64.6 and the permeance of CO2 gas was 22.6 GPU, which was about twice that of BMIM+BF4−/CdO composites without addition of iodine salt. These results were due to the both effect of iodine salt on the transport of the N2 molecules by the cyclic ring compound and the promoting transport of CO2 molecules by the amine groups. Moreover, the oxide layer on the surface of the CdO could enhance the CO2 solubility, resulting in the enhancement of separation performance. The mechanical and chemical properties were measured using SEM, Raman, TGA and FT-IR. The cross-section of coated membranes was confirmed by SEM. The coordinative interactions of iodine salts with BMIM+BF4−/CdO composite were observed by Raman.
