Novel partially cross-linked nanoparticles graft co-polymer as pore former for polyethersulfone membranes for dyes removal. Heliyon 2023; 9:e21958. [PMID: 38034800 PMCID: PMC10682142 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e21958] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2023] [Revised: 10/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
A newly developed water-soluble polymeric nano-additive termed "partially cross-linked nanoparticles graft copolymer (PCLNPG)" has been successfully synthesized and harnessed as a pore former for modifying a polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane for dyes removal. The PCLNPG content was varied in the PES polymeric matrix aiming to scrutinize its impact on membrane surface characteristics, morphological structure, and overall performance. Proposed interaction mechanism between methylene blue (MB), methyle orange (MO), and malachite green (MG) dyes with PES membrane was presented as well. Hydrophilicity and porosity of the novel membrane increased by 18 and 17 %, respectively, when manufactured with a 3 Wt. % PCLNPG, according to the findings. Besides this, the disclosed increased porosity, rather than the hydrophilic properties of the water-soluble PCLNPG, was the principal cause of the diminished contact angle. Meanwhile, raising the PCLNPG content in the prepared membrane made worthy shifts in its structure. A sponge-like region was materialized near the bottom surface as well. The membrane's pure water flux (PWF) synthesized with 3 Wt.% PCLNPG recorded 628 LMH, which is estimated 3.95 fold the pristine membrane. MG, MB, and MO dyes were rejected by 90.6, 96.3, and 97.87 %, respectively. These findings showed that the performance characteristics of the PES/PCLNPG membrane make it a potentially advantageous option to treat the textile wastewater.

Abstract
Owing to highly porous and low density attributes, aerogels have been actively utilized in catalysis and adsorption processes, but their great potential in filtration requires exploitation. In this study, an asymmetric aerogel membrane is fabricated via one-pot hydrothermal reaction-induced self-cross-linking of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), which exhibits ultrafast permeation for the separation of oil-in-water emulsion. Meanwhile, carbon nanotubes are added to improve the mechanical strength of the aerogel membranes. The self-cross-linking of PVA forms the supporting layer, and the exchange of water and vapor at the interface of PVA solution and air generates the separating layer as well as abundant hydroxyl groups on the membrane surface. The density, porosity, pore size, and wettability of the aerogel membrane can be tuned by the PVA concentration. Owing to high porosity (>95%) and suitable pore size (<85 nm), the aerogel membrane exhibits high rejection (99.0%) for surfactant-stabilized oil-in-water emulsion with an ultrahigh permeation flux of 135.5 × 103 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 under gravity-driven flow, which is 2 orders of magnitude higher than commercial filtration membranes with similar rejection. Meanwhile, the aerogel membrane exhibits superhydrophilicity, superoleophobicity underwater, and excellent antifouling properties for various surfactant-stabilized oil-in-water emulsions, as indicated by the fact that the flux recovery ratio maintains more than 93% after five cycles of the filtration experiment. The findings in this study may offer a novel idea to fabricate high-throughput filtration membranes.
