Zhu M, Liang H, Gong X. β-cyclodextrin modified GO ultrafiltration membranes with enhanced antifouling property for water purification. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 258:119472. [PMID: 38908665 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.119472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2024] [Revised: 06/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/24/2024]
Abstract
The study investigated the influence of additives on the fabrication of mixed matrix membranes comprising polyethersulfone (PES), with a specific focus on hydrophilicity, flux, morphology, and antifouling properties. Carboxymethyl modified β-cyclodextrin (CMβ-CD) was used to enhance the dispersion and hydrophilicity of graphene oxide (GO), leading to the formation of a hydrophilic and stable composite nanoparticle (CMCD@GO). The hydrophilicity (WCA <51.5°) and water flux (32.6 L.m-2.h-1) of the modified PES membranes (MCDGO-x) were improved by the incorporation of CMCD@GO nanoparticles, while that of PES membrane was 79.7° and 10.6 L.m-2.h-1. The rate of backscattered light intensity (ΔBS) of MCDGO-x suspensions remains stable, suggesting stable dispersion of CMCD@GO in organic solvents. Compared to the bare PES membrane, the MCDGO-x membrane exhibits a thinner active layer and a finger-like structure. The MCDGO-x membrane exhibited excellent naphthenic acids (NAs) rejection (> 93.2%) due to reduced roughness and higher hydrophilicity, while the GO-modified PES membrane (MGO-5) exhibited lower NAs rejection (87.2%). Furthermore, the MCDGO-5 membrane showed higher flux recovery ratio (FRR) of 79.3% compared to MGO-5 membrane (68.5%) after three cycles, indicating the antifouling performance of MCDGO-x for NAs was significantly improved. The combination of CMβ-CD and GO enhance the flux and antifouling properties of PES ultrafiltration membranes, suggesting significant potential for applications in the purification of oil sands process water and the treatment of oily wastewater.

RSC Adv 2024; 14:16269-16277.

Abstract
In this study, boehmite nanoparticles (B-NPs) were prepared by a simple process and then their surface was modified by (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (3-APTES). The modified B-NPs (3-APTES@B-NPs) were functionalized by 2-benzoylpyridine Schiff-base ligand toward the immobilization of the Schiff-base 2-benzoylpyridine ligand on the 3-APTES@B-NPs's surface (2BP-Schiff-base@B-NPs). Finally, copper ions were coordinated with the supported Schiff-base ligand on B-NPs toward the formation of the final catalyst (Cu-2BP-Schiff-base@B-NPs). The prepared Cu-2BP-Schiff-base@B-NPs were characterized using FT-IR spectroscopy, BET analysis, XRD, SEM, AAS, TGA, EDX and elemental mapping. Further, Cu-2BP-Schiff-base@B-NPs were applied as a homoselective and recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of a diverse range of 5-substituted tetrazoles in PEG-400 as a green solvent. The main benefits of this protocol are high homoselectivity attributes, short reaction times, high product yields and TOF values, and further addition to the catalyst ability to be recycled at least four times without significantly losing catalytic efficiency.

Abstract
This study introduces a chitosan/boehmite biocomposite as an efficient adsorbent for removing anionic Congo Red (CR) and non-ionic Bromothymol Blue (BTB) from water. Boehmite nanoparticles were synthesized using the Sol-gel method and then attached to chitosan particles using sodium tripolyphosphate through co-precipitation method. Characterized through FTIR, FE-SEM, BET, and XRD, the biosorbent displayed structural integrity with optimized pH conditions of 3 for CR and 4 for BTB, achieving over 90 % adsorption within 30 min. Pseudo second order kinetics model and Langmuir isotherm revealed monolayer sorption with capacities of 64.93 mg/g for CR and 90.90 mg/g for BTB. Thermodynamics indicated a spontaneous and exothermic process, with physisorption as the primary mechanism. The biosorbent demonstrated excellent performance and recyclability over five cycles, highlighting its potential for eco-friendly dye removal in contaminated waters.

Post-treatment of soft drink industrial wastewater using a new antibacterial ultra-filtration membrane prepared of Polyethersulfone blended with boehmite-tannic acid-graphene quantum dot. WATER ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH : A RESEARCH PUBLICATION OF THE WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION 2024; 96:e10997. [PMID: 38385894 DOI: 10.1002/wer.10997] [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: 10/21/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024]
Abstract
Polymeric membranes have garnered great interest in wastewater treatment; however, fouling is known as their main limitation. Therefore, the blending of hydrophilic nanoparticles in polymeric membranes' structure is a promising approach for fouling reduction. Herein, a hydrophilic boehmite-tannic acid-graphene quantum dot (BM-TA-GQD) nanoparticle was synthesized and blended in a polyethersulfone polymeric membrane in different percentages. The fabricated membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) images, water contact angle, porosity measurement, and antibacterial and antifouling properties. Surface SEM images of the modified membranes showed good dispersion of nanoparticles up to 0.5 wt%, which resulted in hydrophilicity and pure water flux enhancement. Based on AFM images, the mean roughness (Sa) of the fabricated membranes decreased from 2.07 to 0.84 nm for the bare and optimum membranes, respectively. In terms of performance, increasing the nanoparticle percentages up to 0.5 wt% resulted in the flux recovery ratio developing from 44.58% for the bare membrane to 71.35% for the 0.5 wt% BM-TA-GQD/PES membrane (optimum membrane). The antibacterial property of fabricated membranes was studied against biologically treated soft drink industrial wastewater (BTSDIW) as a bacterial source. The results showed that the turbidity of solutions containing permeated wastewater from the modified membranes (0.1, 0.5, and 1 wt% of BM-TA-GQD) was lower than that obtained from the unmodified membrane. These results confirmed the antibacterial properties of fabricated membranes. Finally, the optimal membrane (0.5 wt% BM-TA-GQD) was examined for post-treatment of the BTSDIW. An effluent COD of 13 mg/L and turbidity of 2 NTU showed a successful performance of the filtration process. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Ultrafiltration PES membranes were modified by different loadings of BM-TA-GQD. Hydrophilicity improvement was achieved by adding BM-TA-GQD nanoparticles. Expansion of size and number of macro-voids in modified membranes was confirmed. Membrane roughness was reduced in the BM-TA-GQD blended membranes. The optimum membrane was efficient in COD and turbidity removal.

Abstract
The self-assembly and stimuli-responsive properties of nanogel poly(n-isopropylacrylamide) (p(NIPAm)) and zwitterion-modified nanogel poly(n-isopropylacrylamide-co-sulfobetainemethacrylate) (p(NIPAm-co-SBMA)) were explored by dissipative particle dynamics simulations. Simulation results reveal that for both types of nanogel, it is beneficial to form spherical nanogels at polymer concentrations of 5-10%. When the chain length (L) elongates from 10 to 40, the sizes of the nanogels enlarge. As for the p(NIPAm) nanogel, it shows thermoresponsiveness; when it switches to the hydrophilic state, the nanogel swells, and vice versa. The zwitterion-modified nanogel p(NIPAm-co-SBMA) possesses thermoresponsiveness and ionic strength responsiveness concurrently. At 293 K, both hydrophilic p(NIPAm) and superhydrophilic polysulfobetaine methacrylate (pSBMA) could appear on the outer surface of the nanogel; however, at 318 K, superhydrophilic pSBMA is on the outer surface to cover the hydrophobic p(NIPAm) core. As the temperature rises, the nanogel shrinks and remains antifouling all through. The salt-responsive property can be reflected by the nanogel size; the volumes of the nanogels in saline systems are larger than those in salt-free systems as the ionic condition inhibits the shrinkage of the zwitterionic pSBMA. This work exhibits the temperature-responsive and salt-responsive behavior of zwitterion-modified-pNIPAm nanogels at the molecular level and provides guidance in antifouling nanogel design.

Abstract
We introduced a modified sol-gel method using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as an additive to improve the permeability of γ-Al2O3 membranes by minimizing the thickness of the selective layer and maximizing the porosity. First, the analysis revealed that the thickness of γ-Al2O3 decreased as the concentration of PVA increased in the boehmite sol. Second, the properties of the γ-Al2O3 mesoporous membranes were greatly influenced by the modified route (method B) compared to the conventional route (method A). The results showed that the porosity and surface area of the γ-Al2O3 membrane increased, and the tortuosity decreased considerably using method B. This effect was attributed to the adsorption of PVA molecules on the surface of the boehmite particles, which depended on the synthesis route. The experimentally determined pure water permeability trend and the Hagen-Poiseuille mathematical model confirmed that the modified method improved the performance of the γ-Al2O3 membrane. Finally, the γ-Al2O3 membrane fabricated via a modified sol-gel method with a pore size of 2.7 nm (MWCO = 5300 Da) exhibited a pure water permeability of over 18 LMH/bar, which is three times higher than that of the γ-Al2O3 membrane prepared using the conventional method.

Abstract
Organic polymeric ultrafiltration (UF) membranes have been widely used in protein separation due to their advantages of high flux and simple manufacturing process. However, due to the hydrophobic nature of the polymer, pure polymeric UF membranes need to be modified or hybrid to increase their flux and anti-fouling performance. In this work, tetrabutyl titanate (TBT) and graphene oxide (GO) were simultaneously added to the polyacrylonitrile (PAN) casting solution to prepare a TiO2@GO/PAN hybrid ultrafiltration membrane using a non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS). During the phase separation process, TBT underwent a sol-gel reaction to generate hydrophilic TiO2 nanoparticles in situ. Some of the generated TiO2 nanoparticles reacted with the GO through a chelation interaction to form TiO2@GO nanocomposites. The resulting TiO2@GO nanocomposites had higher hydrophilicity than the GO. They could selectively segregate towards the membrane surface and pore walls through the solvent and non-solvent exchange during the NIPS, significantly improving the membrane's hydrophilicity. The remaining TiO2 nanoparticles were segregated from the membrane matrix to increase the membrane's porosity. Furthermore, the interaction between the GO and TiO2 also restricted the excessive segregation of the TiO2 nanoparticles and reduced their losing. The resulting TiO2@GO/PAN membrane had a water flux of 1487.6 L·m-2·h-1 and a bovine serum albumin (BSA) rejection rate of 99.5%, which were much higher than those of the currently available UF membranes. It also exhibited excellent anti-protein fouling performance. Therefore, the prepared TiO2@GO/PAN membrane has important practical applications in the field of protein separation.

Abstract
AbstractScientists are currently working to develop more effective and less harmful methods of delivering drugs to tissue. One method is to use a special type of carrier to help the drug get to the right place in the body. In this study, an organometallic framework nanocarrier with the formula IRMOF-3 [Zn4O(NH2-BDC)3] was successfully prepared, containing magnetic nanoparticles of manganese ferrite (MnFe2O4) and the drug doxorubicin encapsulated in a pH- and temperature-sensitive smart polymer of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide. Doxorubicin, an anticancer drug, was loaded into the pores of a magnetic organometallic framework and modified with the smart polymer poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-AA), which has a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of less than 38 °C. The synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles and magnetic organometallic frameworks encapsulated in smart polymer was investigated using various analytical techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, thermal stability analysis, BET, and VSM. The particles in the synthesized nanocarrier are uniform in size, have high magnetic properties, and are thermally stable. The effective surface area is 7.26 m2/g, and the pore volume is 166.394 m. The drug carrier has the ability to load up to 78% of the drug into the solution. The highest drug release was observed when the pH was 5 and the temperature was higher than the LCST. 71% of cancer cells were destroyed by the drug carrier in the culture medium. This nanosystem, designed with more drug retention, reduced side effects and controlled release in different conditions, is suitable as a drug delivery system.

Abstract
By integrating the benefits of poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) and chitosan (CS) with α-MnO2 nanoparticles (MNPs), a novel type of nano-polymer composite (PVA/CS-MNP) membrane was synthesized through a simple and facile casting method. In this proposed work, the membrane prepared was used for removal of organic textile dyes from their aqueous solutions. The as-synthesized PVA/CS-MNP membrane was examined using different analytical techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and mechanical properties of material was also studied. Two cationic dyes, methylene blue (MB) and eosin yellow (EY), were chosen as template dyes to be removed from industrial waste water. These dyes were degraded by carrying out a reaction in which the synthesized membrane was used as a photocatalyst. The study of kinetics revealed that the reaction process followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The efficiency of catalyst and the rate of reaction were also examined by varying parameters such as pH, initial concentration of dyes, and composition of membrane. The maximum efficiency of catalyst was observed at pH 12 as more than 95% of dyes degraded within 1 h of time span. The catalyst was found to be reusable as its efficiency did not deteriorate even after using it for several times. Such functional membrane having higher stability, low production cost, excellent efficiency to degrade dyes, and good recyclability are promising material for distinctly effective deletion of organic dyes from waste water.

Abstract
Membrane technology is an essential tool for water treatment and biomedical applications. Despite their extensive use in these fields, polymeric-based membranes still face several challenges, including instability, low mechanical strength, and propensity to fouling. The latter point has attracted the attention of numerous teams worldwide developing antifouling materials for membranes and interfaces. A convenient method to prepare antifouling membranes is via physical blending (or simply blending), which is a one-step method that consists of mixing the main matrix polymer and the antifouling material prior to casting and film formation by a phase inversion process. This review focuses on the recent development (past 10 years) of antifouling membranes via this method and uses different phase-inversion processes including liquid-induced phase separation, vapor induced phase separation, and thermally induced phase separation. Antifouling materials used in these recent studies including polymers, metals, ceramics, and carbon-based and porous nanomaterials are also surveyed. Furthermore, the assessment of antifouling properties and performances are extensively summarized. Finally, we conclude this review with a list of technical and scientific challenges that still need to be overcome to improve the functional properties and widen the range of applications of antifouling membranes prepared by blending modification.

Abstract
It is a great challenge to design and prepare polymeric membranes with excellent permeability and good rejection. In this study, a modifier of gold nanoparticles for crosslinking and self-assembly by 1,6-hexanedithiol is fabricated and used to modify the polyethersulfone membrane as an additive, which forms a uniform porous membrane by liquid-liquid phase conversion technology. The morphology of the membrane is investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the change of the hydrophilicity of the membrane surface after modification is measured by the contact angle goniometer, and the performance of the fabricated membrane is measured by evaluating the pure water flux and the rejection ratio of bovine serum albumin. The results indicate that the permeability of the modified membrane has a significant improvement. When the mass fraction of the modifying agent is 5 wt%, the water flux of the modified membrane reaches up to 131.6 L m-2 h-1, and has a good rejection ratio to bovine serum albumin. In short, this work plays an important role in improving the flux of the membrane and maintaining good separation performance.

Insights into the mechanically resilient, well-balanced polymeric membranes by incorporating Rhizophora mucronata derived activated carbon for sustainable wastewater decontamination. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 306:135528.

Abstract
In this study, hydrophilic activated carbon has been prepared and used to synthesize innovative activated carbon/polysulfone mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). These membranes were investigated in terms of membrane morphology, hydrophilicity, antifouling ability, and metal ions rejection. The activated carbon (AC) was prepared from a simple chemical activation method using Rhizophora mucronata propagules, which are rich in aerenchyma cells and possess a high surface area. The hydrophilicity of the MMMs is enhanced by the incorporation of activated carbon, which is confirmed by the measurement of equilibrium water contact angle, water uptake and pure water flux. The optimized concentration of 0.625 wt% activated carbon (A2) incorporated mixed matrix membrane exhibits better rejection efficiencies of 98 ± 0.5%, 99 ± 0.5%, 92 ± 2%, and 44 ± 1% for Pb+2, Cd+2, Hg+2, and F- with the permeate flux of 28.27, 31.88, 33.21, 43.82 L/m2/h, respectively. The fabricated mixed matrix membranes demonstrated an excellent flux recovery ratio and reversible fouling, when filtrating a mixed feed solution containing 200 ppm BSA, 10 ppm Pb+2 and 10 ppm Cd+2. The optimized A2 membrane showed excellent long-term stability up to 120 h without compromising in permeate flux and rejection efficiency. Finally, a numerical investigation using a usual transport model has shown that dielectric exclusion was the most probable mechanism that can physically explain experimental trends.

Abstract
To enhance the permeation and separation performance of the polyethersulfone (PES) tight ultrafiltration (TUF) membrane, two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) was applied as a modifier in low concentrations. The influence of different concentrations of MoS2 (0, 0.25, 0.50, 1.00, and 1.50 wt%) on TUF membranes was investigated in terms of morphology, mechanical strength properties, permeation, and separation. The results indicate that the blending of MoS2 tailored the microstructure of the membrane and enhanced the mechanical strength property. Moreover, by embedding an appropriate amount of MoS2 into the membrane, the PES/MoS2 membranes showed improvement in permeation and without the sacrifice of the rejection of bovine serum protein (BSA) and humic acid (HA). Compared with the pristine membrane, the modified membrane embedded with 0.5 wt% MoS2 showed a 36.08% increase in the pure water flux, and >99.6% rejections of BSA and HA. This study reveals that two-dimensional MoS2 can be used as an effective additive to improve the performance and properties of TUF membranes for water treatment.

Abstract
Ionic polymer nanoparticles (IPNs) were synthesized in one pot by quaternization precipitation polymerization (QPP) as a novel polymerization technique. QPP eliminated the usage of high-cost ionic monomers and reduced the number of steps for the preparation of IPN. The monomers 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and 4-vinylbenzyl chloride (VBC) polymerized in the presence of azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) and underwent quaternization simultaneously, which yielded ionic poly(DMAEMA-co-VBC) nanoparticles in one step with the size of 50-80 nm without any stabilizer and catalyst. Similarly, 4-vinylpyridine (VP) and VBC polymerized in the presence of AIBN and underwent quaternization simultaneously, which yielded ionic poly(VP-co-VBC) nanoparticles in one step with the size of 70-90 nm without any stabilizer and catalyst. The as-synthesized IPN was further utilized for the fabrication of hydrophilic nanocomposite ultrafiltration membranes for oil/water separation. Fabricated hybrid membranes were characterized and studied for oil rejection properties. It exhibited an oil rejection of >96% with a pure water permeability of 219 L/m2 h bar.

Abstract
Nanofiltration contributes to the development of advanced treatment of wastewater. An antifouling mixed matrix recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) membrane modified by the hydrophilic ZnO/y-FeOOH nanoparticles (NPs) was fabricated via the electrospinning method. The effect of ZnO/y-FeOOH NPS embedded in rPET as a modifier on the fabrication of nanocomposite membranes was investigated regarding water flux, membrane morphology, permeability, fouling resistance, and COD removal. The surface morphology of the rPET-ZnO/y-FeOOH membrane was evaluated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), water contact angle (WCA), and porosity and pore structure.Due to the embedding of NPs, the resulting rPET-ZnO/y-FeOOH membrane, with a low WCA of 53.404° angle, conforms significantly improved hydrophilicity and water permeation flux. The FESEM image displayed the distribution of cuboidal and needle-like ZnO and FeOOH NPs on the rPET membrane. The performance of the nanofiltration system related to the removal efficiency of COD was studied. It was deduced that the rPET-ZnO/y-FeOOH membrane had a superior COD removal capability (95.7%) at a pressure of 2 bar. Protein rejection tests were performed on antifouling behavior. The nanocomposite membrane with a high antifouling capability was related to 0.5 wt·% ZnO/y-FeOOH NPs (flux recovery ratio [FRR] = 96.2%, Rr = 90.21%, and Rir = 3.001%). The modification procedure in this study (as a great improving technique) was proposed to fabricate the antifouling nanofiltration membrane.

Abstract
Lignin valorization is essential in proposing an economic perspective as a raw material for valuable compounds. The bio-refineries require adequate processing to improve the high purity of lignin. Meanwhile, nanofiltration is fascinated attention to obtain high purity value-added products. The effect of alumina nanoparticles on the fabrication of mixed matrix membranes (MMM) has contributed to improvising filtration performance. However, incorporating nanoparticles is a significant issue regarding appropriate size and shape integrated into membrane for better filtration efficiency. The influence of shapes of alumina nanoparticles has been investigated into polysulfone (PSf) membranes for salt and lignin separation. The morphology of alumina was tailored with spindle, cubic, and spherical shapes synthesized at a different calcination temperature of 250, 500, 700 and 900 °C, respectively. The phase transitions were confirmed in X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, and the shape of the nanoparticles was observed in a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). The separation efficiency of membranes was tested with salt rejection using sodium sulfate, calcium chloride, potassium sulfate, and sodium chloride. The lignin was extracted from prehydrolysed sawdust, and the synthetic lignosulfonic acid sodium salt solution was separated. The higher lignin rejection of 98.6% and 97.9% were obtained for cubic shaped gamma phase alumina mixed matrix membrane. The high rejection of lignin occurred due to narrow pores channels that could resist the transfer of lignin through the membrane. The results proved that the controllable organization of PSf/alumina mixed matrix membranes could apply for lignocellulose compounds with good efficiency.

Abstract
The Mil-125(Ti)-CS nanocomposite was successfully synthesized and characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Then, to improve the membrane performance, the synthesized Mil-125(Ti)-CS nanocomposite was embedded into the polyethersulfone (PES) membrane matrix. The nanofiltration membranes were fabricated via phase inversion method. Presence of chitosan in the structure of Mil-125(Ti) has increased the compatibility of nanoparticles with the polymer and also improved the hydrophilicity of the resulted membranes. The water contact angle of bare membrane (58°) was reduced to 40° by blending of 1 wt% nanocomposite led to increasing the pure water flux. However, the incorporation of more than 1 wt% of the nanocomposite caused the accumulation of nanocomposites and this was reduced the pore radius and permeability. The membrane containing 1 wt% nanocomposite was displayed the highest flux recovery ratio (FRR) ∼ 98% in bovine serum albumin (BSA) filtration. The membranes containing Mil-125(Ti)-CS also showed good performance against fouling. The performance of membranes was evaluated by treatment of six reactive dyes, antibiotic (cefixime), heavy metal, NaCl and Na2SO4 solutions. Addition of Mil-125(Ti)-CS NPs at low concentrations resulted in membranes with high pure water flux, higher separation efficiency, and remarkable anti-fouling behavior.

Abstract
Magnetic boehmite nanoparticles (Fe3O4@boehmite NPs) were synthesized from a hybrid of boehmite and Fe3O4 nanoparticles. At first, boehmite nanoparticles (aluminum oxide hydroxide) were prepared via a simple procedure in water using commercially available materials such as sodium hydroxide and aluminum nitrate. Then, these nanoparticles were magnetized using Fe3O4 NPs in a basic solution of FeCl2·4H2O and FeCl3·6H2O. Fe3O4@boehmite NPs have advantages of both boehmite nanoparticles and Fe3O4 magnetic materials. Magnetic boehmite nanoparticles have been characterized by various techniques such as TEM, SEM, EDS, WDX, ICP, FT-IR, Raman, XRD and VSM. SEM and TEM images confirmed that particles size are less than 50 nm in diameter with a cubic orthorhombic structure. Then, Fe3O4@boehmite NPs were applied as a homoselective, highly efficient, cheap, biocompatibility, heterogeneous and magnetically recoverable nanocatalyst in the synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazole derivatives. Fe3O4@boehmite NPs can be recycled for several runs in the synthesis of tetrazoles. Also, all tetrazoles were isolated in high yields, which reveals high activity of Fe3O4@boehmite NPs in the synthesis of tetrazole derivatives. Fe3O4@boehmite NPs shows a good homoselectivity in synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazole derivatives. Magnetic boehmite nanoparticles were synthesized from a hybrid of boehmite and Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Then, it was applied as a homoselective, highly efficient, cheep, heterogeneous and recoverable nanocatalyst in the synthesis of tetrazole derivative.![]()

Abstract
Tetrazoles are indispensable nitrogen containing heterocyclic scaffolds that offer a broad spectrum of applications in various domains such as medicinal chemistry, high energy material science, biochemistry, pharmacology etc. Owing to their useful applications, a wide range of catalysts have been explored for green synthesis of tetrazole derivatives. In recent times, nanomaterials have been emerged as extremely efficient catalysts for different organic transformations because of their high surface area-to-volume ratio, easy surface modification, simple fabrications, easy recovery and reusability. In this article, we have presented an overview of utilization of various nano-catalysts, nanocomposites and other solid-supported nanomaterials as an efficient environmental benign catalytic system for green synthesis of tetrazoles and derivatives. This review will provide an exclusive emphasis on boehmite, magnetic, copper, carbon, MCM-41, and composite based nanomaterials that have been developed since the year 2010 for the synthesis of tetrazole derivatives. In addition, we have briefly discussed the fabrication, functionalization and characterization of some novel nanomaterials and their advantages in the synthesis of tetrazole and its derivatives along with the reaction mechanism that involves synthesis of tetrazole derivatives via nanomaterials catalysed reactions.

At present, membrane fouling is a thorny issue that limits the development of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) composite membrane, which seriously affects its separation performance and service lifespan. Herein, an imidazole-functionalized graphene oxide (Im-GO) with hydrophilicity and antibacterial performance was synthesized, and it was used as a modifier to improve the anti-organic fouling and antibacterial properties of PVDF membrane. The anti-organic fouling test showed that the maximum flux recovery ratios against bovine serum albumin and humic acid were 88.9% and 94.5%, respectively. Conspicuously, the grafted imidazole groups could effectively prevent the bacteria from growing on the membrane surface. It was gratifying that the antibacterial modifier Im-GO was almost not lost from the hybrid membranes even by the ultrasonic treatment, which was different from the conventional release-killing antibacterial agents. Owing to the long-term anti-organic fouling and antibacterial properties, Im-GO/PVDF hybrid membranes exhibit a great application potential in the fields of rough separation and concentration of biomedical products.

Abstract
Blending modification of graphene oxide (GO) and deposition of silver carbonate (Ag2CO3) on the membrane surface by suction filtration was used to prepare polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) composite ultrafiltration (UF) membranes (denoted as PGA membranes). The effect of this strategy on the morphology and performance of the pure PVDF membrane was investigated. Owing to an increased hydrophilicity and the formation of a more open pore, the pollution resistance and permeability of the PGA membrane were improved. The pure water flux of the PGA-3 membrane (254 LMH) was increased to more than 2-fold compared to that of the neat PVDF membrane (126 LMH). In addition, the results of antifouling experiments showed that the flux recovery rate, flux decay rate, and antibacterial performance of the PGA-3 membrane was superior to those of the other membranes synthesized in this study. Finally, after conducting multi-cycle filtration experiments with lake water, the flux and recovery rate of the PGA-3 membrane was observed to be the highest, and the water quality of the lake water filtered by the PGA-3 membrane was the best. Thus, the above results indicate that this membrane modification strategy is extraordinarily effective in improving the antifouling properties and permeability of the PVDF UF membranes in practical applications.

Abstract
Biofouling is a major concern to the maritime industry. Biofouling increases fuel consumption, accelerates corrosion, clogs membranes and pipes, and reduces the buoyancy of marine installations, such as ships, platforms, and nets. While traditionally marine installations are protected by toxic biocidal coatings, due to recent environmental concerns and legislation, novel nanomaterial-based anti-fouling coatings are being developed. Hybrid nanocomposites of organic-inorganic materials give a possibility to combine the characteristics of both groups of material generating opportunities to prevent biofouling. The development of bio-inspired surface designs, progress in polymer science and advances in nanotechnology is significantly contributing to the development of eco-friendly marine coatings containing photocatalytic nanomaterials. The review mainly discusses photocatalysis, antifouling activity, and formulation of coatings using metal and metal oxide nanomaterials (nanoparticles, nanowires, nanorods). Additionally, applications of nanocomposite coatings for inhibition of micro- and macro-fouling in marine environments are reviewed.

Abstract
Membrane-based separation is an area of extensive research in wastewater treatment, which includes the control of pollution and reuse of water. The fabrication and modification membranes for prevention and reduction of pollution to provide quality water with fouling-free membranes through the wastewater treatment are the progressive approaches in the industries. Several research works have been extensively working on modification and fabrication polymer membranes with integration of advanced oxidation process (AOP) to overcome the membrane fouling. This review describes the modification of membranes with various nanomaterials such as inorganic and modified carbon which can be used for pollution control and enhance the anti-fouling properties of ultrafiltration membranes. The effects on nanomaterials loading percentage, nanomaterials interaction with the polymers and rejection performances of the surface tuned membrane are elaborated. Secondly, the fouled membrane chemical cleaning process and NaOCl adverse effect on polymer structure are critically investigated. Moreover, state-of-art in the photocatalytic self-cleaning process are reviewed in this manuscript, and future perspectives on fouling mitigation based on AOP integrated membrane technology have also discussed.

Abstract
In this study, cellulose acetate (CA) was blended with sulfonated graphene oxide (SGO) nanomaterials to endow a nanocomposite membrane for wastewater treatment with improved hydrophilicity and anti-biofouling behavior. The phase inversion method was employed for membrane fabrication using tetrahydrofuran (THF) as the solvent. The characteristics of CA-SGO-doped membranes were investigated through thermal analysis, contact angle, SEM, FTIR, and anti-biofouling property. Results indicated that anti-biofouling property and hydrophilicity of CA-SGO nanocomposite membranes were enhanced with addition of hydrophilic SGO nanomaterials in comparison to pristine CA membrane. FTIR analysis confirmed the successful decoration of SGO groups on CA membrane surface while revealing its morphological properties through SEM analysis. Thermal analysis performed using DSC confirmed the increase in thermal stability of CA-SGO membranes with addition of SGO content than pure CA membrane.

Abstract
Developing an effective and stable separation membrane for water treatment is of much interest while challenging because of the restrictions of membrane fouling and water flux reduction. To minimize this problem, in this work, highly porous and hydrophilic nanostructure of NH2-modified MCM-41 (NH2-MCM-41) was embedded successfully into the nanofiltration (NF) membrane body via commonly used phase inversion method. The unmodified and modified nanofiller was analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-Ray powder diffractometry (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and nitrogen adsorption-desorption. Furthermore, the modified membranes were characterized through surface and cross section FE-SEM images, the membrane surface roughness, hydrophilicity, antifouling properties and dye rejection. Benefiting from porous networks and enhanced hydrophilicity, the mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) revealed more prominent hydrophilic property as well as higher pure water flux (PWF) compared with naked membrane. The polysulphone (PSf) membrane modified with NH2-MCM-41-1.0 exhibited the highest pure water flux (PWF) of 65.43 kg/m2.h and superior antifouling characteristics with a flux recovery ratio (FRR) of around 97.0% and an irreversible fouling resistance (Rir) of 3.2%. Furthermore, the optimal membrane possessed high dye rejection (100%) and antifouling capacity (FRR of 97%) while filtering a field sample, effluent from a local stabilization pond treating municipal wastewater. The fabricated membrane in this study is believed to pave pathways for constructing NF membranes with superior effectiveness for other municipal and industrial wastewaters treatment.

Abstract
Particulate matters (PMs) air pollution is identified as the major threat to public health and climate. High-performance air filter technology based on various electrospun nanofibers is considered as an effective strategy to eliminate the effects of PMs air pollution. However, to date, nearly all the existing micro-/nanofibers are hard to meet both requirements of high PMs removal efficiency and long service life. In this work, we reported the production of laminated polyacrylonitrile(PAN)-boehmite nanoparticles (BNPs) nanofiber structured membrane by the electrospinning process. The dimension of PAN-BNPs nanofiber can be tunable from (0.09 ± 0.03)μm to (0.81 ± 0.11)μm by controlling the PAN and BNPs concentrations in precursors. The optimized PAN-BNPs nanofiber air filter with a basis weight of 1 g m-2demonstrates the attractive attributes of high PM2.5removal efficiency up to 99.962% and low pressure drop of 58 Pa. Most importantly, after introducing the BNPs as electret, the removal efficiency is very stable under the air flow rate of 6 l min-1. This PAN-BNPs nanofiber with a long electrostatic duration time offers an approach for fabricating future high-performance air filters.

Abstract
A reactive and mechano-chemically stable support was prepared from Ag-nanoparticles decorated polyester fabric which was subsequently coated by a casting solution containing polyvinylidene fluoride matrix, guar gum (GG) exo-polysaccharide hydrophilic agent, and UiO-66 filler. FE-SEM, XRD, FT-IR, water contact angle technique, and mechanical stability tests were applied to characterize the prepared membranes. The water contact angle measurements indicated the hydrophilicity of the prepared membrane which can be attributed to the nature of bio-GG and UiO-66. The prepared membrane was employed for purifying contaminated waters containing N-cetyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and congo-red (CR) dye through a cross-module set-up. The central composite design was also exploited to study the effect of operational parameters such as CTAB and CR concentration, pH solution, and pressure on the removal efficiency. Particularly, the bio-based GG/UiO-66 dispersion showed excellent self-healing properties, which enabled an effective pollutant separation ability and facilitated the recyclability/sustainability of the as-prepared membrane.

Abstract
This study reports a novel, multifunctional, and easily obtained modifier to support the rapid advancements in the field of filtration. Polydopamine (PDA) particles (PDAPs) have been reported as a filler for constructing polymer composites, but because of their poor thermal stability, the use of PDAPs in high-temperature blend melt systems to construct antifouling membranes was rare. In this paper, high-thermal-stability methoxy polyethylene glycol amine (mPEG-NH2)-functionalized PDA nanoparticles (mPDAPs) were first used as a modifier in high-temperature blend melt polymer composites to construct antifouling composite membranes. First, high-thermal-stability mPDAPs with an average diameter of about 390 nm were prepared by immobilized mPEG-NH2 on the PDAP surface, then melt blend mPDAPs with ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene/liquid paraffin (LP) solution and thermally reduced phase separation (TIPS) to construct antifouling membranes. A combination of properties including mechanical properties, filtration efficiency, and antifouling properties of hybrid composite membranes was investigated and demonstrated that mPDAPs were an efficient modifier for high-temperature melt blending systems. The aim of this study was to provide an effective approach to improve the membrane filtration performance by bulk hybrid modification of multifunctional nanoparticles.
