Abstract
The textile industry's high-salinity wastewater presents a significant difficulty for fractioning salts and dyes. To fractionate the dyes and salts, a high-performance CPVC composite loose nanofiltration membrane (LNM) was fabricated by interfacial polymerization. The organic phase was obtained by crosslinking polyethylenimine (PEI) with tannic acid (TA) and gallic acid (GA) using TMC. The resultant composite LNM performance was enhanced by adjusting the coating parameters, which included TA and GA concentrations as well as coating time. The study examined the effects of the total content of TA/PEI and GA/PEI concentrations on the chemical structure, surface roughness, and microstructure of the selective layer of LNM using SEM, AFM, FTIR, and water contact angle measurements. It also investigated the filtration performance of the membrane's selective layer, including pure water flux, PEG800 rejection rate, and membrane fouling analysis. However, the resultant membrane treated simulated reactive black 5 (RB5) dye wastewater. When the total content of TA/PEI is 4 kg L-1, the permeability of pure water flux is high at 7.5 L per m2 per h per bar when the total content of GA/PEI is 14 kg L-1 and the pure water flux is high at 8.8 L per m2 per h per bar. The overall PEG800 rejection rates were 97-98.98%. The optimal TA : PEI ratios reached a good pure water permeability up to 6.4 L per (m2 per h per bar) with a high rejection rate of 99.69% for a ratio 1/3 to dye, and GA : PEI ratios reached a good water permeability at 5.5 and 6.5 L per (m2 per h per bar) with rejection rates of 99.21% and 98.88% for ratio 1/3 and 3.5/10.5 for simulated RB5 dye, and the NaCl retention rate gradually decreased from 4% to 3%. The resultant LNM demonstrated promising applications in dye and salt fractionation.

Baig N, Matin A. Incorporating functionalized graphene oxide into diethylene triamine-based nanofiltration membranes can improve the removal of emerging organic micropollutants. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 676:657-669.

Abstract
The presence of emerging organic micropollutants (OMPs) in drinking and potable waters is a matter of great concern due to the health hazards associated with these. In this work, we present the preparation and application of a thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane containing functionalized graphene oxide to effectively remove low-molecular-weight OMPs from water. Graphene oxide was functionalized with amino silane to enhance its cross-linking capability during the formation of the polyamide active layer via interfacial polymerization of diethylene triamine and trimesoyl chloride. The TEM analysis showed that amino silane functionalized GO had 2-3 layered sheets, while non-functionalized graphene oxide appeared multilayered or stacked. XPS analysis confirmed the successful functionalization of GO. Characterization of the membranes with advanced techniques confirmed the successful incorporation of the GO and its functionalization: spectra from Fourier Transform Infra Red spectroscopy had the characteristic peaks of GO and NH groups; scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images showed a continuous presence of GO nanosheets. Contact angle measurements showed the TFN membranes to be more hydrophilic than their thin film composite (TFC) counterparts. Incorporating functionalized oxide nanosheets in the active polyamide layer produced additional water permeation channels, resulting in an improvement of ∼25 % in permeate flux compared to the pristine TFC and the TFN membrane with non-functionalized GO. The removal efficiencies of four OMPs commonly found in natural waters: Amitriptylene HCl (ATT HCl) and Bisphenol-A (BPA), Acetaminophen (ACT), and Caffeine (CFN) were determined for the synthesized membranes. The TFN membrane with functionalized GO outperformed its TFC counterpart with ∼100 % removal for BPA, ∼ 90 % for CFN and ATT HCl, and ∼80 % removal for the low molecular weight ACT. The high-efficiency rejection of OMPs was attributed to the synergistic effects of size exclusion as well as the reduced specific interactions between the functional groups.

Abstract
Because of its great efficiency and widespread application, reverse osmosis (RO) is a popular tool for water desalination and purification. However, traditional RO membranes have a short lifespan due to membrane fouling, deterioration, decreased salt rejection rate, and the low water flux with aging. As a result, membrane modification has received a lot of attention recently, with nanomaterials being extensively researched to improve membrane efficacy and lifespan. Herein, we present an in-depth analysis of recent advances of RO membranes modification utilizing nanomaterials. An overview of the various nanomaterials used for membrane modification, including metal oxides, zeolites, and carbon nanomaterials, is provided. The synthesis techniques and methods of integrating these nanomaterials into RO membranes are also discussed. The impacts of nanomaterial change on the performance of RO membranes are addressed. The underlying mechanisms responsible for RO membrane enhancements by nanomaterials, such as improved surface hydrophilicity, reduced membrane fouling via surface repulsion and anti-adhesion properties, and enhanced structural stability, are discussed. Furthermore, the review provides a critical analysis of the challenges and limitations associated with the use of nanomaterials to modify RO membranes. Overall, this review provides valuable insights into the modification of RO membranes with nanomaterials, providing a full grasp of the benefits, challenges, and future prospects of this challenging topic.

Abstract
A promising electrochemical sensing platform for the detection of ponceau 4R in food has been fabricated based on the carboxylated graphene oxide (GO-COOH), metal-organic framework (MOF) UIO-66-NH2, and poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS). To this end GO-COOH was covalently coupled with UIO-66-NH2 through amide reaction, endowing the material (GO-CONH-UIO-66) unique hierarchical pores and high chemical stability and as a result improving the conductivity of MOF and the dispersion of GO. After the addition of PEDOT:PSS into GO-CONH-UIO-66, the continuity and conductivity of the composite (PEDOT:PSS/GO-CONH-UIO-66) have been further enhanced, due to the high conductivity, favorable film-forming, and hydrophilic properties of PEDOT:PSS. Systematic electrochemical experiments confirm that the PEDOT:PSS/GO-CONH-UIO-66/GCE shows satisfactory electrochemical sensing properties towards the detection of ponceau 4R, with a wide linear detection range of 0.01-30 μM, a low limit of detection of 3.33 nM, and a high sensitivity of 0.606 μA μM-1 cm-2. The PEDOT:PSS/GO-CONH-UIO-66 sensing platform was successfully used to detect ponceau 4R in beverage, and the detection results were compared with high-performance liquid chromatography. As a result, the PEDOT:PSS/GO-CONH-UIO-66 composite shows a promising application prospect for rapid detection of ponceau 4R in food and will play significant role in food safety detection and supervision.

Abstract
Linear polyamides, known as nylons, are a class of synthetic polymers with a wide range of applications due to their outstanding properties, such as chemical and thermal resistance or mechanical strength. These polymers have been used in various fields: from common and domestic applications, such as socks and fishing nets, to industrial gears or water purification membranes. By their durability, flexibility and wear resistance, nylons are now being used in addictive manufacturing technology as a good material choice to produce sophisticated devices with precise and complex geometric shapes. Furthermore, the emergence of triboelectric nanogenerators and the development of biomaterials have highlighted the versatility and utility of these materials. Due to their ability to enhance triboelectric performance and the range of applications, nylons show a potential use as tribo-positive materials. Because of the easy control of their shape, they can be subsequently integrated into nanogenerators. The use of nylons has also extended into the field of biomaterials, where their biocompatibility, mechanical strength and versatility have paved the way for groundbreaking advances in medical devices as dental implants, catheters and non-absorbable surgical sutures. By means of 3D bioprinting, nylons have been used to develop scaffolds, joint implants and drug carriers with tailored properties for various biomedical applications. The present paper aims to collect evidence of these recently specific applications of nylons by reviewing the literature produced in recent decades, with a special focus on the newer technologies in the field of energy harvesting and biomedicine.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have been extensively used in polymer nanocomposite membranes due to the inclusion of unique features that enhance water and wastewater treatment performance. Compared to the pristine membranes, the incorporation of nanomodifiers not only improves membrane performance (water permeability, salt rejection, contaminant removal, selectivity), but also the intrinsic properties (hydrophilicity, porosity, antifouling properties, antimicrobial properties, mechanical, thermal, and chemical stability) of these membranes. This review focuses on applications of different types of nanomaterials: zero-dimensional (metal/metal oxide nanoparticles), one-dimensional (carbon nanotubes), two-dimensional (graphene and associated structures), and three-dimensional (zeolites and associated frameworks) nanomaterials combined with polymers towards novel polymeric nanocomposites for water and wastewater treatment applications. This review will show that combinations of nanomaterials and polymers impart enhanced features into the pristine membrane; however, the underlying issues associated with the modification processes and environmental impact of these membranes are less obvious. This review also highlights the utility of computational methods toward understanding the structural and functional properties of the membranes. Here, we highlight the fabrication methods, advantages, challenges, environmental impact, and future scope of these advanced polymeric nanocomposite membrane based systems for water and wastewater treatment applications.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) and Lead (Pb) from industrial wastewater can bioaccumulate in the living organisms of water bodies, posing serious threats to human health. Therefore, efficient remediation of heavy metal ions of Cd (II) and Pb (II) in aqueous media is necessary for public health and environmental sustainability. In the present study, water stable Zirconium (Zr) based metal organic frameworks (MOFs) with SO3H functionalization were synthesized by solvothermal method and used first time for the adsorption of Cd (II) and Pb (II). Synthesis of UiO-66-SO3H, nano-sized (<100 nm) MOFs, was confirmed by FTIR, XRD, FESEM and BET. Effects of contact time, pH and temperature were investigated for adsorption of Cd (II) and Pb (II) onto SO3H-functionalized Zr-MOFs. The UiO-66-SO3H displayed notable rejections of 97% and 88% towards Cd (II) and Pb (II), respectively, after 160 min at 25 °C and pH (6) with an initial concentration of 1000 mg/L. Adsorption capacities of Cd (II) and Pb (II) were achieved as 194.9154 (mg/g) and 176.6879 (mg/g), respectively, at an initial concentration of 1000 mg/L. The Pseudo second-order kinetic model fitted well with linear regression (R2) of value 1. The mechanism was confirmed mainly as a chemisorption and coordination interaction between sulfone group (-SO3H) and metal ions Cd (IIa) and Pb (II). These results may support effective adsorption and can be studied further to enrich and recycle other heavy metals from wastewater.

Abstract
The prevalence of organic micropollutants (OMPs) and their persistence in water supplies have raised serious concerns for drinking water safety and public health. Conventional water treatment technologies, including adsorption and biological treatment, are known to be insufficient in treating OMPs and have demonstrated poor selectivity toward a wide range of OMPs. Pressure-driven membrane filtration has the potential to remove many OMPs detected in water with high selectivity as a membrane's molecular weight cutoff (MWCO), surface charge, and hydrophilicity can be easily tailored to a targeted OMP's size, charge and octanol-water partition coefficient (Kow). Over the past 10 years, polymeric (nano)composite microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), and nanofiltration (NF) membranes have been extensively synthesized and studied for their ability to remove OMPs. This review discusses the fate and transport of emerging OMPs in water, an assessment of conventional membrane-based technologies (NF, reverse osmosis (RO), forward osmosis (FO), membrane distillation (MD) and UF membrane-based hybrid processes) for their removal, and a comparison to the state-of-the-art nanoenabled membranes with enhanced selectivity toward specific OMPs in water. Nanoenabled membranes for OMP treatment are further discussed with respect to their permeabilities, enhanced properties, limitations, and future improvements.

Abstract
Removing salt from dye/salt mixtures using nanofiltration (NF) membranes needs to be improved to ensure high permeability, high selectivity, and antifouling performance. In this study, we used an interfacial polymerization (IP) technique to create a novel thin-film nanocomposite NF membrane by introducing two-dimensional MXene Ti3C2Tx into the polyamide (PA) layer. Enhanced IP reaction rate facilitated the overflow of residual solvent from the fresh PA layer's edge due to the MXene-mediated IP strategy, resulting considerable bubble-like nodules on the membrane surface. The unique nanostructure of PA effective layer could be tuned by controlling the MXene concentration in aqueous phase solution, which finally promoted the obtained membranes with superb permselectivity. In this way, the water permeability was elevated to a maximum value of 45.12 L m−1 h−1, nearly 1.58-fold compared to the PA-pristine membrane. Moreover, the Ti3C2Tx/NF membrane exhibited a superior dye/monovalent salt separation coefficient of 820, outperforming the pristine PA membrane and other NF membranes in the literature. Additionally, the MXene-assisted IP strategy designed an effective dye anti-fouling hydration layer, which played a crucial role in fouling resistance. This work illustrates a novel use of Ti3C2Tx to successfully regulate high-performance TFN PA membranes for potential application in dye/salt separation. A novel thin-film nanocomposite NF membrane with efficient dye/salt separation and antifouling performance was designed by introducing different amounts of MXene into the PA layer.![]()

Abstract
The collagen obtained from chrome leather waste can be used to modify graphene oxide (GO) to prepare polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) composite ultrafiltration membranes, a process that is conducive to the recovery of leather waste, comprehensive utilization of GO and improved performance of the membrane. In this paper, collagen-modified GO (CGO) was prepared by degradation of collagen from chrome leather waste and used to prepare a PVDF composite ultrafiltration membrane. The results show that the carboxyl content of CGO and dispersion were improved. The water flux and flux recovery rate of the modified ultrafiltration membrane were improved. The bovine serum albumin (BSA) intercepted on the membrane surface was easy to clean and the antifouling performance improved. The performance of the membrane decreased when the GO content exceeded 0.75 wt%, while CGO can reach 1.0 wt% without agglomeration due to its good dispersion.

Abstract
A novel, functionalized graphene oxide-based cellulose acetate membrane was fabricated using the phase inversion method to improve the membrane characteristics and performance. We studied the effect of aminated graphene oxide (NH2-GO) composite on the CA membrane characteristics and performance in terms of membrane chemistry, hydrophilicity, thermal and mechanical stability, permeation flux, and antibacterial activity. The results of contact angle and water flux indicate the improved hydrophilic behavior of composite membranes in comparison to that of the pure CA membrane. The AGO-3 membrane showed the highest water flux of about 153 Lm-2h-1. The addition of hydrophilic AGO additive in CA membranes enhanced the antibacterial activity of AGO-CA membranes, and the thermal stability of the resulting membrane also improved since it increases the Tg value in comparison to that of a pristine CA membrane. The aminated graphene oxide (NH2-GO) was, therefore, found to be a promising additive for the fabrication of composite membranes with potent applications in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The adsorption of two-dimensional (2-D) graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets at liquid-liquid interfaces has broad technological implications from functional material preparations to oil-water emulsification. Molecular-level understanding of the adsorption thermodynamics and the interfacial behavior is of great significance. Here, the adsorption free energy of GO nanosheets at the water-cyclohexane system was simulated, in which the effect of oxygen-containing groups and deprotonation has been investigated. It was observed that the neutral GO (GO-COOH) has obvious interfacial activity with a reduction of interfacial tension, while the deprotonated GO (GO-COO-) shows a weak interface affinity. There exists an optimal oxidization degree that could cause the best interfacial stability, which is attributed to the balance of interfacial hydrophilic-hydrophobic interactions. The interaction arising from water is the main factor determining interfacial activity. The interfacial morphology and dynamics of GO nanosheets have also been simulated, in which an anisotropic 2-D translation and rotation along the interface were revealed. Our simulation results provide new insight into the adsorption mechanism and dynamics behavior of GO at the oil-water interface.

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
Water pollution from the fashion industries containing dyes has become a major source of water pollution. These anthropogenic contaminated waters directly enter irrigation and drinking water systems, causing irreversible environmental damage to human health. Nanomembrane technology has attracted extensive attention to remove these toxic chemicals but new approaches are still required for improving removal efficiency and control the channel size. The work deals with the fabrication of a novel hybrid polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-polyaniline (PANI) membrane with graphene oxide (GO). Incorporation of PANI-GO as a nanofiller has significantly improved antifouling properties and a solvent content of the fabricated membrane. Besides, pure water flux also increases from 112 to 454 L m-2 h-1 indicating the hydrophilic nature of the nanocomposite membrane. Among various compositions, the nanocomposites membrane with 0.1 %w/v GO demonstrated a maximum of 98 % dye rejection at 0.1 MPa operating pressure. After multiple testing of the membrane, the flux recovery ratio reached about 94 % and dyes rejection improved with the addition of PANI-GO. The removal efficiency of the composite membrane for Allura red is 98 % and for methyl orange is 95 %. Based on the above results the PVDF/PANI/GO membranes are recommended for practical use in wastewater treatment, particularly for anionic dyes removal from textile effluents.

Abstract
Titanium (Ti) nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully seeded on the platform of a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) ultrafiltration (UF) membrane previously coated with bio-glue (a co-deposition of dopamine hydrochloric bicarbonate buffer having undergone pyrocatechol deprotonation). The tools in vogue, especially field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM), have made it possible to fully characterize the structure of the new organic-inorganic nanofiltration (NF) membrane, namely NF_PAN_Ti. A soft computing model has been applied to make commonplace the complex and implicit extended Nernst–Planck equations that govern the transport of ions through NF membranes. Euler’s numerical method was applied with a small step-size and the results obtained were very interesting. The filtration velocity approach of GUEROUT-ELFORD-FERRY helped to estimate the average pore size of NF_PAN_Ti to rp = 0.538 nm. A six-day test carried out on NF_PAN_Ti demonstrated its long-term stability and showed a steady-rejection rate of 89.3% of MgCl2 salt and permeate flux of 56 L·m−2·h−1. The Euler’ numerical method corroborated perfectly the experimental findings since the relative error was found to be very low at 0.33% for Cl− and 0.09% for Mg2+ (RE << 0.1). These practical prediction tools may henceforth help in the choice and calibration of next-generation NF membranes’ synthesis.

Abstract
Nanofiltration (NF) is an advanced environmental technology in water treatment. To thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane, good compatibility between nanofillers and polyamide (PA) layer is the guarantee of remarkable performance. Herein, tannic acid (TA) was employed as modifier of UIO-66-NH2 prior to the interfacial polymerization (IP). With TA modification, more interaction can be formed so that the compatibility between nanofillers and PA layer can be promoted at the molecular level. Characterizations demonstrated the coating of TA on UIO-66-NH2, together with successful introducing of nanofillers in TFN membranes. Compared to pristine thin film composite (TFC) membrane, both UIO-incorporated TFN (TFN-U) and TA modified UIO-incorporated TFN (TFN-TU) membranes showed higher permeance (111.2% and 93% enhancement, respectively). However, under the same nanofillers dose, TFN-TU exhibited slightly lower permeance and higher rejection than TFN-U since the bridging effect of TA healed non-selective voids in skin layer. With the increasing of nanofiller dose in IP, TFN-TU remained reasonable selectivity while TFN-U failed to. Moreover, TFN-TU showed better anti-fouling property due to TA modification. Introducing TA modified MOFs into IP can serve as an ingenious strategy for TFN membrane to achieve high-quality environmental applications.

Abstract
A new mixed matrix membrane (MMM) was prepared by incorporating biological mesoporous carbon microspheres (mCMSs) from corn starch polysaccharide-supported hydrophilic polydopamine (PDA), as a mesoporous and large-surface area filler, selective modifier, and pore-forming agent, into polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) matrix in presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a hydrophilic agent. The structural parameters of the prepared membranes were characterized via FE-SEM, BET/BJH, XRD, FT-IR, and AFM analyses, sorption experiments, water permeability assessments, porosimetry tests, flux recovery ratio (FRR) evaluations, and contact angle measurements, with the so-called central composite design (CCD) been successfully applied for optimization and investigation of the effects of the operational parameters. The results were then applied to treat double-distilled water containing bovine serum albumin (BSA) utilizing a cross-module set-up. Based on the findings, the content of the mCMS-PDA in the PVDF matrix significantly affected the contact angle, pure water flux (PWF), FRR, and BSA removal. In this respect, the PWF of the PVDF-PEG-mCMS-PDA increased from 10.25 to 27.78 L/m2 h with increasing the mCMS-PDA content, with the peak FRR (93.84%) of the PVDF-PEG-mCMS-PDA seen at maximum surface hydrophilicity of the membrane.

Abstract
In the textile industry, a high-efficiency dye removal and low-retention of salt is demanded for recycling wastewater. In this study, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) ultrafiltration membrane was transformed to a negatively charged loose nanofiltration (NF) membrane through UV-grafting of acrylic acid. At the optimal exposure of PVDF membrane in UV light for 5 min, the membrane had a high dye recovery above 99% (Congo red and Eriochrome® Black T) and a low sodium chloride (NaCl) rejection of less than 15% along with pure water flux of 26 L∙m−2∙h−1∙bar−1. Its antifouling and oleophobicity surface properties were verified using fluorescent- bovine serum albumin (BSA) and underwater mineral oil contact angle, respectively. According to the fluorescent microscopic images, the modified membrane had ten times lower adhesion of protein on the surface than the unmodified membrane. The underwater oil contact angle was raised from 110° to 155°. Moreover, the salt rejection followed this sequence: Na2SO4 > MgSO4 > NaCl > MgCl2, which agreed with the typical negatively charged NF membrane. In addition, the physicochemical characterization of membranes was further investigated to understand and link to the membrane performance, such as surface functional group, surface elements analysis, surface roughness/morphology, and surface hydrophilicity.
