[PMID: 37367795 DOI: 10.3390/membranes13060591] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 05/28/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023]
Abstract
Since the water pollution problem still affects the environmental system and human health, the need to develop innovative membranes has become imperious. Lately, researchers have focused on developing novel materials to help diminish the contamination problem. The aim of present research was to obtain innovative adsorbent composite membranes based on a biodegradable polymer, alginate, to remove toxic pollutants. Of all pollutants, lead was chosen due to its high toxicity. The composite membranes were successfully obtained through a direct casting method. The silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and caffeic acid (CA) from the composite membranes were kept at low concentrations, which proved enough to bestow antimicrobial activity to the alginate membrane. The obtained composite membranes were characterised by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and microscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TG-DSC). Swelling behaviour, lead ion (Pb2+) removal capacity, regeneration and reusability were also determined. Further, the antimicrobial activity was tested against selected pathogenic strains (S. aureus, E. faecalis sp., P. aeruginosa, E. coli and C. albicans). The presence of Ag NPs and CA improves the antimicrobial activity of the newly developed membranes. Overall, the composite membranes are suitable for complex water treatment (removal of heavy metal ions and antimicrobial treatment).

Abstract
The application of hydrogel coatings to surface-modified metallic materials has gained considerable attention in engineering practice such as water-oil separation. However, the low coating adhesion and poor coating stability restrict its application. In this study, to obtain special wettability and durable filter materials, polyacrylamide (PAM)/sodium alginate (SA) xerogel particles were first prepared and adhered to a stainless steel screen by using an epoxy resin as a linker. Subsequently, the xerogel particles of the screen rehydrates in water to form a PAM-SA double-network hydrogel. The results show that the screen modified by PAM-SA xerogel of 20-30 μm particle size and a linker concentration of 0.1 g/mL resulted in a chimeric structure and subsequently transformed a uniform double-network hydrogel coating in water. According to the experimental results, the rough hydrogel coating exhibits superhydrophilicity and superoleophobicity under water; in particular, it has excellent wear resistance as well as physical and chemical stability. Under gravity-driven action, the PAM-SA-modified screen demonstrates high separation efficiency values of up to 99% in separating a wide range of oil/water mixtures and maintaining a water flux of (2-6) × 104 L·m-2·h-1. There was no significant reduction in efficiency of separation and water flux after 10 cycles, indicating that the PAM-SA-modified screen is capable of offering outstanding separation performance and durability. Moreover, the hydrogel-modified screen demonstrated corrosion and swelling resistance in some extreme environments, paving a way for practical applications in water treatment. The novel hydrogel-coating-modified screen with ease of preparation holds great promise for oil/water separation and other engineering applications.

Abstract
Water quality and disposability are among the main challenges that governments and societies will outside during the next years due to their close relationship to population growth and urbanization and their direct influence on the environment and socio-economic development. Potable water suitable for human consumption is a key resource that, unfortunately, is strongly limited by anthropogenic pollution and climate change. In this regard, new groups of compounds, referred to as emerging contaminants, represent a risk to human health and living species; they have already been identified in water bodies as a result of increased industrialization. Pesticides, cosmetics, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, organic dyes, and other man-made chemicals indispensable for modern society are among the emerging pollutants of difficult remediation by traditional methods of wastewater treatment. However, the majority of the currently used waste management and remediation techniques require significant amounts of energy and chemicals, which can themselves be sources of secondary pollution. Therefore, this review reported newly advanced, efficient, and sustainable techniques and approaches for water purification. In particular, new advancements in sustainable membrane-based filtration technologies are discussed, together with their modification through a rational safe-by-design to modulate their hydrophilicity, porosity, surface characteristics, and adsorption performances. Thus, their preparation by the use of biopolymer-based gels is described, as well as their blending with functional cross-linkers or nanofillers or by advanced and innovative approaches, such as electrospinning.

Abstract
In recent years, natural disasters such as hurricanes and floods have become more frequent, which usually leads to the pollution of drinking water. Drinking contaminated water may cause public health emergencies. The demand for healthy drinking water in disaster-affected areas is huge and urgent. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a simple water treatment technology suitable for emergencies. Inspired by nature, a fractional spray method was used to prepare graded purification material under mild conditions. The material consists of a calcium alginate isolation layer and a functional layer composed of calcium alginate, polyethylenimine, and water-based polyurethane, which can purify complex pollutants in water such as heavy metals, oils, pathogens, and micro/nano plastics through percolation. It does not require additional energy and can purify polluted water only under gravity. A disposable paper cup model was also designed, which can be used to obtain purified water by immersing in polluted water directly without other filtering devices. The test report shows that the water obtained from the paper cup was deeply purified. This design makes the material user-friendly and has the potential as a strategic material. This discovery can effectively improve the safety of drinking water after disasters and improve people's quality of life.

Abstract
Stable water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions can produce at many industrial production occasions. However, most materials for its separation have serious fouling problems. To overcome this shortcoming, we fabricated an easy cleaning multifunctional starch-based material with unique wetting behavior which could realize efficient separation and purification of W/O emulsions. This material has a hierarchical structure and superoleophilic and under oil superhydrophobic surfaces which could separate various W/O emulsions in a high separation efficiency and flux without external pressure. In addition, the decrease of separation flux was not observed for this material, which can be reused more than 10 times after washing with ethanol and drying after each separation cycle. Furthermore, this material also could realize efficient removal of dyes and heavy-metal and rare-earth ions simultaneously during a separation process. The material shows great potential for separating and purifying stable W/O emulsions produced during the industrial production.

Abstract
Hydrogels—natural or synthetic polymer networks that swell in water—can be made mechanically, chemically and electrically compatible with living tissues. There has been intense research and development of hydrogels for medical applications since the invention of hydrogel contact lenses in 1960. More recently, functional hydrogel coatings with controlled thickness and tough adhesion have been achieved on various substrates. Hydrogel-coated substrates combine the advantages of hydrogels, such as lubricity, biocompatibility and anti-biofouling properties, with the advantages of substrates, such as stiffness, toughness and strength. In this review, we focus on three aspects of functional hydrogel coatings: (i) applications and functions enabled by hydrogel coatings, (ii) methods of coating various substrates with different functional hydrogels with tough adhesion, and (iii) tests to evaluate the adhesion between functional hydrogel coatings and substrates. Conclusions and outlook are given at the end of this review.

Hydrogels are important materials that are of high scientific interest and with numerous applications. Natural polymer-based hydrogels are preferred to synthetic ones due to their safety, biocompatibility, and ecofriendly properties. They have been studied extensively and implemented in various fields, such as medicine, cosmetics, personal-care products, water purification, and more. This review focuses on the applications of nature-sourced polymer-based hydrogels in food and agriculture. Different types of biopolymers and crosslinking agents, and various methods for hydrogel formation are described. The physicomechanical properties and applied activities of the resulting materials are also comprehensively discussed. Biodegradable synthetic polymers are outside the scope of this review. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.
