Development and Investigation of Hierarchically Structured Thin-Film Nanocomposite Membranes from Polyamide/Chitosan Succinate Embedded with a Metal-Organic Framework (Fe-BTC) for Pervaporation. MEMBRANES 2022; 12:967. [PMID: 36295726 PMCID: PMC9611024 DOI: 10.3390/membranes12100967] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2022] [Revised: 09/24/2022] [Accepted: 09/26/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Thin-film composite membranes (TFC) obtained by the formation of a selective layer on a porous membrane-substrate via interfacial polymerization (IP) are indispensable for separation procedures in reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, pervaporation, and gas separation. Achieving high selectivity and permeability for TFC membranes is still one of the main challenges in membrane science and technology. This study focuses on the development of thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes with a hierarchically structured polyamide (PA)/chitosan succinate (ChS) selective layer embedded with a metal-organic framework of iron 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate (Fe-BTC) for the enhanced pervaporation dehydration of isopropanol. The aim of this work was to study the effect of Fe-BTC incorporation into the ChS interlayer and PA selective layer, obtained via IP, on the structure, properties, and performance of pervaporation TFN membranes. The structure and hydrophilicity of the developed TFN membranes were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), along with water contact angle measurements. The developed TFN membranes were studied in the pervaporation dehydration of isopropanol (12-30 wt % water). It was found that incorporation of Fe-BTC into the ChS interlayer yielded the formation of a smoother, more uniform, and defect-free PA ultrathin selective layer via IP, due to the amorpho-crystalline structure of particles serving as the amine storage reservoir and led to an increase in membrane selectivity toward water, and a slight decrease in permeation flux compared to the ChS interlayered TFC membranes. The best pervaporation performance was demonstrated by the TFN membrane with a ChS-Fe-BTC interlayer and the addition of 0.03 wt % Fe-BTC in the PA layer, yielding a permeation flux of 197-826 g·m-2·h-1 and 98.50-99.99 wt % water in the permeate, in the pervaporation separation of isopropanol/water mixtures (12-30 wt % water).

Scale Up and Validation of Novel Tri-Bore PVDF Hollow Fiber Membranes for Membrane Distillation Application in Desalination and Industrial Wastewater Recycling. MEMBRANES 2022; 12:573. [PMID: 35736279 PMCID: PMC9229717 DOI: 10.3390/membranes12060573] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2022] [Revised: 05/25/2022] [Accepted: 05/27/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Novel tri-bore polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membranes (TBHF) were scaled-up for fabrication on industrial-scale hollow fiber spinning equipment, with the objective of validating the membrane technology for membrane distillation (MD) applications in areas such as desalination, resource recovery, and zero liquid discharge. The membrane chemistry and spinning processes were adapted from a previously reported method and optimized to suit large-scale production processes with the objective of translating the technology from lab scale to pilot scale and eventual commercialization. The membrane process was successfully optimized in small 1.5 kg batches and scaled-up to 20 kg and 50 kg batch sizes with good reproducibility of membrane properties. The membranes were then assembled into 0.5-inch and 2-inch modules of different lengths and evaluated in direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) mode, as well as vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) mode. The 0.5-inch modules had a permeate flux >10 L m−2 h−1, whereas the 2-inch module flux dropped significantly to <2 L m−2 h−1 according to testing with 3.5 wt.% NaCl feed. Several optimization trials were carried out to improve the DCMD and VMD flux to >5 L m−2 h−1, whereas the salt rejection consistently remained ≥99.9%.

Abstract
AbstractMulti-bore hollow fiber membranes were prepared through phase inversion spinning process using new locally designed spinnerets of various geometrical shapes. The spun cylindrical-like, rectangular or ribbon-like, and triangular-like are prepared, dried, and characterized by scanning electronic microscope. Fibers of circular (seven, five, and four bores) shape, rectangular of five bores, and triangular of three bores were chosen to study the effect of both geometrical configuration and the number of bores on the amorphous structure and the mechanical properties of the membranes. Membrane geometry, surface amorphous, and bore arrangements are very sensitive to the operating conditions, especially the extrusion and drawing rates. Three polymeric blends of different compositions are used to prepare multi-bore hollow fiber membranes. This study revealed that the blend composition of PES 16%, PVP 2%, PEG 2%, diethylene glycol 2%, and NMP 78% gives excellent mechanical properties. Optimization of the preparation conditions also developed, where the dope flow rate, the bore flow rate, and the air gap were 1.14 cm3 s−1, 1.1 cm3 s−1, and 0 cm, respectively. Furthermore, this study proved that the circular arrangement has high mechanical strength. The prepared seven-MBHF membranes were applied in the membrane distillation process, a solution of 35 g/l NaCl was used to test the membrane performance, and the achieved flux and rejection were 28.32 L/m2 h and 98.9%, respectively. This performance demonstrated that the prepared membrane in this way is suitable to compete with conventional reverse osmosis technology that uses single track hollow fibers.

Abstract
The increasing research in the field of polymeric multi-channel membranes has shown that their mechanical stability is beneficial for a wide range of applications. The more complex interplay of formation process parameters compared to a single-channel geometry makes an investigation using Design of Experiments (DoE) appealing. In this study, seven-channel capillary membranes were fabricated in a steam–dry–wet spinning process, while varying the composition of the polymer solution and the process temperatures in a three-level fractional factorial linear screening design. The polymers polyvinylidene flouride (PVDF) was the chemically resistant main polymer and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was added as hydrophilic co-polymer. Scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy were applied to study the membrane morphology. Fabrication process conditions were established to yield PVDF/PVP multi-channel membranes, which reached from high flux (permeability P = 321.4L/m2/h/bar, dextran 500 kDa retention R = 18.3%) to high retention (P = 66.8L/m2/h/bar, R = 80.0%). The concentration of the main polymer PVDF and the molecular weight of the co-polymer PVP showed linear relations with both P and R. The permeability could be increased using sodium hypochlorite post-treatment, although retention was slightly compromised. The obtained membranes may be suitable for micro- or ultra-filtration and, at the same time, demonstrate the merits and limitations of DoE for multi-channel membrane screening.

Abstract
The mechanical stability of conventional single-channel capillary fibres can be improved in a multi-channel geometry, which has previously found application in ultrafiltration. In this work, multi-channel polyethersulfone (PES) capillary membranes comprising seven feed channels were successfully fabricated in an enhanced steam–dry–wet spinning process and coated on the inner surface with a thin polyamide (PA) layer via interfacial polymerization (IP). The coating procedure consisted of impregnating the support multi-channel capillary membranes (MCM) with an aqueous piperazine solution, flushing with nitrogen gas to remove excess droplets, and pumping an organic trimesoylchloride solution through the channels. Insights into the interfacial polymerization process were gained through the investigation of various parameters, including monomer ratio, contact time, and drying time. Membranes were characterised via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and filtration experiments. The optimisation of both the PES support membrane and IP process parameters allowed for the fabrication of composite MCM with an MgSO4 rejection of 91.4% and a solute flux of 68.8 L m−2 h−1 at an applied pressure of 3 bar. The fabricated composite MCM demonstrates that a favourable multi-channel arrangement can be upgraded with a PA layer for application in low-pressure nanofiltration.

Abstract
Pervaporation (PV) has been considered as one of the most active and promising areas in membrane technologies in separating close boiling or azeotropic liquid mixtures, heat sensitive biomaterials, water or organics from its mixtures that are indispensable constituents for various important chemical and bio-separations. In the PV process, the membrane plays the most pivotal role and is of paramount importance in governing the overall efficiency. This article evaluates and collaborates the current research towards the development of next generation nanomaterials (NMs) and embedded polymeric membranes with regard to its synthesis, fabrication and application strategies, challenges and future prospects.
