CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 360:142437. [PMID: 38797208 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142437] [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: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 05/04/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
The construction and modification of a Graphene Oxide (GO) membrane, incorporating polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) cross-linked with maleic acid (MA) and supported by a nylon membrane, have been successfully completed. Systematic variations in PVA and MA concentrations were conducted to achieve membranes with favorable characteristics, stability, and excellent desalination performance. Optimization studies utilizing the Central Composite Design (CCD) revealed that the most optimal desalination results were obtained with 10 mL of PVA (0.1 mg mL-1) and 0.9 M of MA (GO-MA0.9-PVA10/Nylon membrane). Experimental findings demonstrated that the inclusion of PVA and MA resulted in an increased interlayer distance of GO and enhanced membrane stability. The addition of PVA increases GO membrane hydrophilicity, while the addition of MA reduces membrane hydrophilicity. The GO-MA0.9-PVA10/Nylon membrane exhibited the highest desalination performance, boasting a rejection value exceeding >99.9% and a permeance of 18.76 kg m-2.h-1 under 1% NaCl feed at a temperature of 50 °C. This membrane demonstrated consistent desalination performance stability over an extended period of up to 70 h. Moreover, it exhibited durability through 8 cycles of 24-h usage with washing treatment. In conclusion, the GO-MA0.9-PVA10/Nylon membrane is strongly recommended for practical applications, outperforming other membrane options based on the comprehensive evaluation of its stability and desalination efficiency.

Abstract
Forward osmosis (FO) is a promising separation technology to overcome the challenges of pressure-driven membrane processes. The FO process has demonstrated profound advantages in treating feeds with high salinity and viscosity in applications such as brine treatment and food processing. This review discusses the advancement of FO membranes and the key membrane properties that are important in real applications. The membrane substrates have been the focus of the majority of FO membrane studies to reduce internal concentration polarization. However, the separation layer is critical in selecting the suitable FO membranes as the feed solute rejection and draw solute back diffusion are important considerations in designing large-scale FO processes. In this review, emphasis is placed on developing FO membrane selective layers with a high selectivity. The effects of porous FO substrates in synthesizing high-performance polyamide selective layer and strategies to overcome the substrate constraints are discussed. The role of interlayer in selective layer synthesis and the benefits of nanomaterial incorporation will also be reviewed.

Abstract
Forward osmosis (FO) is the futuristic membrane desalination technology as it transcends the disadvantages of other pressure-driven techniques. But, there still remain critical challenges like fabrication of highly permeable membrane with ideal structures maintaining high rejection rates that need to be addressed for implementation as a practical technology. In this work, novel thin-film composite (TFC) membranes were fabricated by means of incorporating manganese oxide (MnO2) incited graphene quantum dots (GQDs) nanocomposite into a cellulose acetate (CA) suspension followed by phase inversion (PI) for enhanced FO performance. The surface morphology and chemical structure of fabricated membranes were studied using various characterization techniques like XRD, FT-IR, SEM-EDS, Mapping, AFM, and TGA. The structural parameters, water flux, reverse salt flux and salt rejection was estimated on the basis of data obtained from four varying initial draw solution concentrations. At high nanocomposites stacking, the hydrophilicity of the casting blend increase, and subsequently, the PI exchange rate additionally increases, which brings about noticeable difference in the surface morphology. The membrane with 0.5 wt% nanocomposite exhibited superior FO separation performance with osmotic water flux of 18.89, 34.49, 41.76 and 42.34 in L.m-2.h-1 with variable concentrations of NaCl salt solution (0.25M, 0.5M, 1M, and 2M), respectively. Also, the porosity of the membrane was increased to 47.23% with 96.87% salt rejection. The results indicate that the hydrophilicity of the nanocomposite drives them to the interface among CA and water during PI process leading to solid hydrogen bonding to achieve high water permeability.

Constructing dense and hydrophilic forward osmosis membrane by cross-linking reaction of graphene quantum dots with monomers for enhanced selectivity and stability. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 589:486-499.

Abstract
This paper reports a novel thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane with a dense, flat, and hydrophilic polyamide (PA) layer. The atypical PA structure was obtained by the cross-linking reaction of graphene oxide quantum dots containing amino groups (NH2-GOQDs) with triacyl chloride and polyamide oligomers. And the resulting TFN membrane showed a flat (small-scale ridge structure) and smooth surface. Meanwhile, the introduction of oxygen-containing and amino functional groups increased surface hydrophilicity. The reaction of amino groups on the NH2-GOQDs with acid chloride groups and the carboxyl groups (in the linear part of the polyamide) enhanced the degree of cross-linking of the PA layer, forming a compact surface. Owning to the dense surface structure, excellent hydrophilicity, and small water transmission distance, the optimized TFN membrane exhibited an enhanced water flux of 26.57 L⋅m-2⋅h-1 with a low reverse salt flux of 6.0 g⋅m-2⋅h-1. Furthermore, nano-indentation/scratch results showed the interface adhesion between substrate and PA layer was improved due to the physical anchoring of NH2-GOQDs in the substrate. And in the long-term FO test, the TFN membrane showed stable selectivity. This work proves that the targeted structural design of the PA layer at the nanoscale will have a positive impact on desalination field.
