Abstract
A huge chemical potential difference exists between the acid mine drainage (AMD) and the alkaline neutralization solution, which is wasted in the traditional AMD neutralization process. This study reports, for the first time, the harvest of this chemical potential energy through a controlled neutralization of AMD using H+-conductive films. Polyamide films with controllable thickness achieved much higher H+ conductance than a commercially available cation exchange membrane (CEM). Meanwhile, the optimal polyamide film had an excellent H+/Ca2+ selectivity of 63.7, over two orders of magnitude higher than that of the CEM (0.3). The combined advantages of fast proton transport and high proton/ion selectivity greatly enhanced the power generation of the AMD battery. The power density was 3.1 W m-2, which is over one order of magnitude higher than that of the commercial CEM (0.2 W m-2). Our study provides a new sustainable solution to address the environmental issues of AMD while simultaneously enabling clean energy production.

A Selective Separation Mechanism for Mono/divalent Cations and Properties of a Hollow-Fiber Composite Nanofiltration Membrane Having a Positively Charged Surface. MEMBRANES 2023; 14:1. [PMID: 38276314 PMCID: PMC10818550 DOI: 10.3390/membranes14010001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 12/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
Positively charged nanofiltration (NF) technology is considered a green and low-cost method for mono/divalent cation separation. Nevertheless, the separation rejection mechanisms of these NF membranes have yet to be extensively investigated. In this work, we fabricated a thin-film composite (TFC) hollow-fiber (HF) NF membrane with a positively charged surface via modification of the nascent interfacial polymerization layer using a branched polyethyleneimine (BPEI)/ethanol solution. Then, we extensively investigated its selective separation mechanism for mono/divalent cations. We proposed and proved that there exists a double-charged layer near the membrane surface, which helps to repel the divalent cations selectively via Donnan exclusion while promoting the fast penetration of monovalent cations. Meanwhile, the membrane skin layer is loose and hydrophilic due to the loose BPEI structure and the abundance of amine groups, as well as the changed fabrication conditions. In this way, we achieved very good mono/divalent cation selectivity and relatively high water permeance for the as-prepared HF NF membrane. We also obtained good anti-fouling, anti-scaling, and acid resistance, and long-term stability as well, which are urgently needed during practical application. Furthermore, we successfully amplified this HF NF membrane and proved that it has broad application prospects in mono/divalent cation separation.

Abstract
Utilizing brackish water resources has imposed a high requirement on the design and construction of nanofiltration membranes. To overcome the limitation of high salt concentration on the nanofiltration separation performance resulting from the weakened Donnan effect, a nanofiltration membrane with the effect of salt-responsive ion valves was developed by incorporating zwitterionic nanospheres into the polyamide layer (PA-ZNs). The interaction between the nanospheres and membranes at high salinity was revealed through a combination analysis from the perspectives of water transport model, positron annihilation spectroscopy, and solute rejection, contributing to the formation of the valve effect. The PA-ZNs membrane presented a breakthrough in overcoming the limitation of increased salt concentrations on nanofiltration separation performance, achieving a high selectivity of 105 for mono/multivalent anions. To reveal the role of the ion valve effect in ion transport through the membrane, the membrane conductance was determined at different salt concentrations, confirming channel-controlled transport at low salinity and ion valve-controlled transport at high salinity. Moreover, the main membrane separation mechanisms were systematically studied. The concept of salt-responsive ion valves may contribute to expanding the application of nanofiltration in brackish water treatment.

Abstract
Membrane filtration technology has attracted extensive attention in academia and industry due to its advantages of eco-friendliness related to environmental protection and high efficiency. Polyamide thin-film composite nanofiltration (PA TFC NF) membranes have been widely used due to their high separation performance. Non-acid-resistant PA TFC NF membranes face tremendous challenges in an acidic environment. Novel and relatively acid-resistant polysulfonamide-based and triazine-based TFC NF membranes have been developed, but these have a serious trade-off in terms of permeability and selectivity. Hence, how to improve acid resistance of TFC NF membranes and their separation performance in acidic environments is a pivotal issue for the design and preparation of these membranes. This review first highlights current strategies for improving the acid resistance of PA TFC NF membranes by regulating the composition and structure of the separation layer of the membrane performed by manipulating and optimizing the construction method and then summarizes the separation performances of these acid-resistant TFC NF membranes in acidic environments, as studied in recent years.

Abstract
In this study, a novel polybenzimidazole (PBI)-based organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) membrane possessing excellent stability under high pH condition was developed. To improve the chemical stability, the pristine PBI membrane was crosslinked with a silane precursor containing an epoxy end group. In detail, hydrolysis and condensation reaction of methoxysilane in the 3-glycidyloxypropyl trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) yields organic–inorganic networks within the PBI membrane structure. At the same time, the epoxy end groups on the organosiloxane network (Si–O–Si) reacted with amine groups of PBI to complete the crosslinking. The resulting crosslinked PBI membrane exhibited a good stability upon exposure to organic solvents and was not decomposed even in basic solution (pH 13). Our membrane showed an ethanol permeance of 27.74 LMHbar−1 together with a high eosin Y rejection of >90% under 10 bar operation pressure at room temperature. Furthermore, our PBI membrane was found to be operational even under an extremely basic condition, although the effective pore size was slightly enlarged due to the pore swelling effect. The results suggest that our membrane is a promising candidate for OSN application under basic conditions.

Abstract
Water recycling is one of the most sustainable solutions to growing water scarcity challenges. However, wastewaters usually contain organic pollutants and often are at extreme pH, which complicates the treatment of these streams with conventional membranes. In this work, we report the synthesis of a robust membrane material that can withstand prolonged exposure to extreme pH (of 1 or 13 for 2 months). Polyamine thin film composite (TFC) membranes are prepared in situ by interfacial polymerization between 1,3,5-tris(bromomethyl)benzene (tBrMeB) and p-phenylenediamine (PPD). Contrary to conventional polyamide TFC membranes, enhanced pH stability is achieved by eliminating the carbonyl groups from the polymer network. The membranes showed pure water permeance and molecular weight cutoff (MWCO) of 0.28 ± 0.09 L m-2 h-2 bar-1 and 820 ± 132 g mol-1, respectively. The membrane performance is further enhanced by manipulating the monomer structures and replacing p-phenylenediamine with m-phenylenediamine, resulting in a higher permeance of 1.3 ± 0.3 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 and a lower MWCO of 566 ± 43 g mol-1. Given the ease of fabrication and excellent stability, this chemistry represents a step forward in the fabrication of robust membranes for industrial wastewater recycling.

Abstract
Nanofiltration (NF) with advantages of high efficiency and low-cost has attracted increasing attentions in bio-separation. However, the large-scale application is limited by the inferior molecular selectivity, low chemical stability and serious membrane fouling. Many efforts, thus, have been devoted in NF materials design for specific applications to enhance the separation efficiency of bio-products and increase membrane life-time, as well as reduce the operating cost. This review summarized the recent progress of NF applications in bio-separation, discussed various demands for NF membrane in the bio-products purification and corresponding material innovations, finally proposed several practical suggestions for future research, which provided directions and guidance toward further product development and process industrialization.

Abstract
The successful synthesis of poly(aryl cyanurate) nanofiltration membranes via the interfacial polymerization reaction between cyanuric chloride and 1,1,1-tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane (TPE), atop a polyethersulfone ultrafiltration support, is demonstrated. The use of cyanuric chloride allows for the formation of a polymer that does not contain hydrolysis-susceptible amide bonds that inherently limit the stability of polyamide nanofiltration membranes. In order to achieve a thin defect-free cross-linked film via interfacial polymerization, a sufficient number of each monomer should react. However, the reactivities of the second and third chloride groups of the cyanuric chloride are moderate. Here, this difficulty is overcome by the high functionality and the high reactivity of TPE. The membranes demonstrate a typical nanofiltration behavior, with a molecular weight cutoff of 400 ± 83 g·mol-1 and a permeance of 1.77 ± 0.18 L·m-2 h-1 bar-1. The following retention behavior Na2SO4 (97.1%) > MgSO4 (92.8%) > NaCl (51.3%) > MgCl2 (32.1%) indicates that the membranes have a negative surface charge. The absence of amide bonds in the membranes was expected to result in superior pH stability as compared to polyamide membranes. However, it was found that under extremely acidic conditions (pH = 1), the performance showed a pronounced decline over the course of 2 months. Under extremely alkaline conditions (pH = 13), after 1 month, the performance was lost. After 2 months of exposure to moderate alkaline conditions (pH = 12), the MgSO4 retention decreased by 14% and the permeance increased by 2.5-fold. This degradation was attributed to the hydrolysis of the aryl cyanurate bond that behaves like an ester bond.

Abstract
As nanofiltration applications increase in diversity, there is a need for new fabrication methods to prepare chemically and thermally stable membranes with high retention performance. In this work, thio-bromo "click" chemistry was adapted for the fabrication of a robust covalently attached and ultrathin nanofiltration membrane. The selective layer was formed on a pre-functionalized porous ceramic surface via a novel, liquid-vapor interfacial polymerization method. Compared to the most common conventional interfacial polymerization procedure, no harmful solvents and a minimal amount of reagents were used. The properties of the membrane selective layer and its free-standing equivalent were characterized by complementary physicochemical analysis. The stability of the thin selective layer was established in water, ethanol, non-polar solvents, and up to 150 °C. The potential as a nanofiltration membrane was confirmed through solvent permeability tests (water, ethanol, hexane, and toluene), PEG-in-water molecular weight cut-off measurements (≈700 g mol-1), and dye retention measurements.

Abstract
Phenols and polyphenols have been used as a scaffold for generating multidimensional molecular architectures via complexation with metal ions. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of metallopolymer films from three catechol derivatives having different alkyl/aryl substituents via complexation with iron and copper ions at the organic-water interface. Such interfacial polymerization is instantaneous, one step to generate functional materials, and gives good control over the organization of repeating units along the film. The films were transferred to different substrates such as filter paper, cotton, or polyester fabrics. The films are superhydrophobic with a contact angle >160° which can be tuned by regulating the orientation of nonpolar groups at the interface during polymerization. In addition, the fabricated cloth membrane showed excellent oil/water separation efficiency of more than 99% even after 50 cycles. The polymers also showed good dye extraction capacity from aqueous solutions with fast kinetics data. Such metallopolymer networks can serve as a versatile material for applications in catalysis, protective coatings, drug delivery, water filtration membranes, and liquid separations.

Abstract
Developing thermally stable polymer membranes for high-temperature water treatment is in high demand, as the recommended usage temperatures of most commercial membranes are lower than 50 °C. In this study, we synthesized novel thin film composite polyamide membranes by modifying the chemical structure of their selective layers. Triaminopyrimidine was used to synthesize a polyamide selective layer with high cross-linking density over a microporous poly(ether sulfone) support. The addition of triamiopyrimidine to the classic m-phenylenediamine/trimesoyl chloride combination remarkably improved the permeation of the membranes. All synthesized thin film composite membranes showed consistent permeate flux for 9 h of operation at 75 °C with only a slight reduction in salt rejection. This study provides a promising and reproducible methodology to develop thermally stable high-flux thin film composite membranes, opening up a new paradigm for high-temperature water treatment processes.
