[PMID: 38868020 PMCID: PMC11167269 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e31318] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2024] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024] Open
Abstract
This work aims at the preparation and characterization of dual-layer (DL) nano-fibrous mat (NFM) of hydrophobic and mechanical stable polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nano-fibers (NFs), as a supporter, and polyamide 6 (PA)/chitosan (Ch) NFs as a top hydrophilic coating layer. PAN and PA fibers, as residual wastes from textile processes, were collected and dissolved in their proper solvents. PAN was electro-spuned under certain conditions of electro-spinning (voltage, flow rate, and distance between spinneret and collector) to obtain PAN-NFM. Different ratios of PA/Ch composite were prepared and then electro-spun above the PAN-NFM that was previously prepared to obtain hydrophobic/hydrophilic functional dual-layer nano-fibrous membrane (DLNFM). The efficiency of the prepared DLNFM for capturing dye residues and heavy metals from wastewater was investigated. The viscosities of the prepared composite solutions were measured. The prepared dual-layer nano-fiber membranes (DLNFMs) were chemically and physically characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analyzer. The potential of the prepared mats for the adsorption of some heavy metal ions, i.e., Cu+2, Cr+3, and Pb+2 cations in addition to dyes from wastewater was evaluated. The effect of using different concentrations of PA/Ch composite as well as the thickness of the obtained DLNFM on the filtration efficiency was studied. The results of this study show the success of functional DLNFM in dye and heavy metal removal. The maximum removal efficiency of acid dyes was reached to 73.4 % and of reactive dye was approximately 61 % for PAN/PA-1.25%Ch DLNFM after 3 days at room temperature. The removal efficiency percent of heavy metal ions reached to 54 % by DLNFM. Additionally, the results showed that 0.08 mm is the ideal thickness for maximum absorption capacity. This value is correlated with the membrane's highest Ch percentage, which is (PAN/PA-1.25%Ch). Furthermore, the results demonstrate that the presence of the Ch polymer strengthened the produced bi-layered membrane to achieve the highest thermal stability when compared to the other nano-fibrous membranes (NFMs), with the breakdown temperature of the Ch functionalized dual-layer membranes (DLMs) reaching approximately 617 °C and a maximum weight loss of 60 %.

Abstract
Considerable advancements have been made in the development of hydrophobic membranes for membrane distillation (MD). Nonetheless, the environmentally responsible disposal of these membranes poses a critical concern due to their synthetic composition. Herein, an eco-friendly dual-layered biopolymer-based membrane was fabricated for water desalination. The membrane was electrospun from two bio-polymeric layers. The top hydrophobic layer comprises polycaprolactone (PCL) and the bottom hydrophilic layer from cellulose acetate (CA). Additionally, silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) were electrosprayed onto the top layer of the dual-layered PCL/CA membrane to enhance the hydrophobicity. The desalination performance of the modified PCL-SiO2/CA membrane was compared with the unmodified PCL/CA membrane using a direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) unit. Results revealed that silica remarkably improves membrane hydrophobicity. The modified PCL-SiO2/CA membrane demonstrated a significant increase in water contact angle of 152.4° compared to 119° for the unmodified membrane. In addition, PCL-SiO2/CA membrane has a smaller average pore size of 0.23 ± 0.16 μm and an exceptional liquid entry pressure of water (LEPw), which is 3.8 times higher than that of PCL/CA membrane. Moreover, PCL-SiO2/CA membrane achieved a durable permeate flux of 15.6 kg/m2.h, while PCL/CA membrane showed unstable permeate flux decreasing approximately from 25 to 12 kg/m2.h over the DCMD test time. Furthermore, the modified PCL-SiO2/CA membrane achieved a high salt rejection value of 99.97% compared to a low value of 86.2% for the PCL/CA membrane after 24 h continuous DCMD operation. In conclusion, the proposed modified PCL-SiO2/CA dual-layer biopolymeric-based membrane has considerable potential to be used as an environmentally friendly membrane for the MD process.

Abstract
Silk sericin (SS) is a natural water-soluble protein with the potential to chelate metal ions via its polar groups. However, the difficulty of identifying the saturation of SS limits its application as filter films. One solution is to construct SS filter films with an indicator to reflect the degree of saturation of silk sericin. Hence, the nanocoating consisting of co-assembled SS protein and anthocyanin (C3G) nanoparticles is designed, constructed, and characterized to chelate metal ions with a saturation-visualization detection behavior. Here, metal ions Zn2+ and Al3+ are chosen as models to explore the chelating ability of SS and indicator behaviors of C3G, which could indicate the saturation degree of SS. Interestingly, after the saturation of SS in the solution and filter film situations, the visible color progressively shifts from pink to blue (Zn2+) or violet (Al3+), with the corresponding redshift of UV-Vis absorbance of C3G. Remarkable removal effectiveness of Zn2+ and Al3+, namely 93.16% and 53.97%, as well as an evident saturation-visualization detection, were identified by filter paper films with the nanocoating. Our research provides a fresh viewpoint for designing SS filter films that could effectively remove metal ions while enabling real-time viewing.

MEMBRANES 2022; 12:798.

Abstract
The complexity of removing boron compounds from aqueous systems has received serious attention among researchers and inventors in the water treating industry. This is due to the higher level of boron in the aquatic ecosystem, which is caused by the geochemical background and anthropogenic factors. The gradual increase in the distribution of boron for years can become extremely toxic to humans, terrestrial organisms and aquatic organisms. Numerous methods of removing boron that have been executed so far can be classified under batch adsorption, membrane-based processes and hybrid techniques. Conventional water treatments such as coagulation, sedimentation and filtration do not significantly remove boron, and special methods would have to be installed in order to remove boron from water resources. The blockage of membrane pores by pollutants in the available membrane technologies not only decreases their performance but can make the membranes prone to fouling. Therefore, the surface-modifying flexibility in adsorptive membranes can serve as an advantage to remove boron from water resources efficiently. These membranes are attractive because of the dual advantage of adsorption/filtration mechanisms. Hence, this review is devoted to discussing the capabilities of an adsorptive membrane in removing boron. This study will mainly highlight the issues of commercially available adsorptive membranes and the drawbacks of adsorbents incorporated in single-layered adsorptive membranes. The idea of layering adsorbents to form a highly adsorptive dual-layered membrane for boron removal will be proposed. The future prospects of boron removal in terms of the progress and utilization of adsorptive membranes along with recommendations for improving the techniques will also be discussed further.

Abstract
In this study, poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) dual-layer membranes filled with 0-3 wt% cellulose nanowhisker (CNWs) were fabricated with aim to remove metal ions from wastewater. An integrated method was employed in the membrane fabrication process by combining water vapor-induced and crystallization-induced phase inversions. The membrane thickness was measured in between 11 and 13 μm, which did not pose significant flux deviation during filtration process. The 3% CNW filled membrane showed prominent and well-laminated two layers structure. Meanwhile, the increase in CNWs from 0 to 3% loadings could improve the membrane porosity (43-74%) but reducing pore size (2.45-0.54 μm). The heat resistance of neat membrane enhanced by 1% CNW but decreased with loadings of 2-3% CNWs due to flaming behavior of sulphated nanocellulose. Membrane with 3% CNW displayed the tensile strength (23.5 MPa), elongation at break (7.1%), and Young's modulus (0.75 GPa) as compared to other samples. For wastewater filtration performance, the continuous operation test showed that 3% CNW filled membrane exhibited the highest removal efficiency for both cobalt and nickel metal ions reaching to 83% and 84%, respectively. We concluded that CNWs filled dual-layer membranes have potential for future development in the removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater streams.

Abstract
Materials based on PVDF with desirable and controllable features were successfully developed. The chemistry and roughness were adjusted to produce membranes with improved transport and separation properties. Membranes were activated using the novel piranha approach to generate OH-rich surfaces, and finally furnished with epoxy and long-alkyl moieties via stable covalent attachment. The comprehensive materials characterization provided a broad spectrum of data, including morphology, textural, thermal properties, and wettability features. The defined materials were tested in the air-gap membrane distillation process for desalination, and improvement compared with pristine PVDF was observed. An outstanding behavior was found for the PVDF sample equipped with long-alkyl chains. The generated membrane showed an enhancement in the transport of 58-62% compared to pristine. A relatively high contact angle of 148° was achieved with a 560 nm roughness, producing a highly hydrophobic material. On the other hand, it was possible to tone the hydrophobicity and significantly reduce adhesion work. All materials were highly stable during the long-lasting separation process and were characterized by excellent effectiveness in water desalination.

Abstract
Water desalination by membrane distillation (MD) can be affected by a wide range of operating parameters. The present work uses combinational approach of Analytical Hierarch process (AHP) and Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy process (Fuzzy-AHP) to identify the most important parameters in the MD desalination. Five process parameters and key-performance indicators, named derivable outputs (DOs), are considered, along with the critical factors affecting these DOs in the current study. The DOs and the critical influencing factors (CIFs) are selected based on their experimental feasibility. The investigation involves five DOs, which are liquid entry pressure, thermal power consumption, permeate quality, permeate flux, and pumping (feed circulation) power. A total of twenty-five critical influencing factor were associated with the DOs. The identification of the DOs and CIFs was based on the literature review, and further analyses were performed. Both methods, AHP and Fuzzy-AHP, determined six extremely important CIFs in the desalination MD, which are feed temperature, feed concentration, or feed salinity; feed flow rate; membrane hydrophobicity; pore size; and membrane material. Moderately important CIFs are found to be four by both methods. These common CIFs are feed solution properties, membrane thickness, feed channel geometry, and pressure difference along the feed channel. Finally, the least preferred CIFs are four common in both methods that are MD configuration, duration of test, specific heat of feed solution, and viscosity.

Abstract
In this paper, a review of the compatibility of polymeric membranes with lignocellulosic biomass is presented. The structure and composition of lignocellulosic biomass which could enhance membrane fabrications are considered. However, strong cell walls and interchain hindrances have limited the commercial-scale applications of raw lignocellulosic biomasses. These shortcomings can be surpassed to improve lignocellulosic biomass applications by using the proposed pretreatment methods, including physical and chemical methods, before incorporation into a single-polymer or copolymer matrix. It is imperative to understand the characteristics of lignocellulosic biomass and polymeric membranes, as well as to investigate membrane materials and how the separation performance of polymeric membranes containing lignocellulosic biomass can be influenced. Hence, lignocellulosic biomass and polymer modification and interfacial morphology improvement become necessary in producing mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). In general, the present study has shown that future membrane generations could attain high performance, e.g., CO2 separation using MMMs containing pretreated lignocellulosic biomasses with reachable hydroxyl group radicals.

Abstract
Nanofiltration (NF) or reverse osmosis (RO) process has been widely applied for concentrating nutrient in biogas digestate. However, efficient pretreatment is key to the sustainable operation of NF or RO. In this study, the combination of NF and RO for concentrating biogas digestate was compared using different pretreatments of hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane (HFUFM) and ceramic membrane (CUFM). Pilot-scale batch tests were conducted (500 L). CUFM showed a higher membrane flux than HFUFM (100 ~ 180 L·(m2·h)−1 vs. 17 ~ 35 L·(m2·h)−1), but they showed little impact on the NF + RO process. Membrane fluxes of NF and RO were 20 ~ 48 L·(m2·h)−1 and 16 ~ 40 L·(m2·h)−1, respectively. In the RO permeates, the removal rates of total suspended solids (TSS), total solids (TS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (TN), NH4+-N, and Cl− were above 91%. In the concentrates, TN and total potassium (TK) were concentrated by 1.60 and 2.00 folds in the NF stage, and by 2.10 and 2.30 folds in the RO stage. Further attention should be paid to the antibiotics risks in the concentrates before they are utilized as plant fertilizers.

Abstract
Osmotic power generation has emerged as an advanced technology toward water-energy nexus to tackle global water pollution. It provides a sustainable use of salinity gradient from water resources yet encounters major obstacles caused by pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) membrane fouling. Although membranes with good antifouling properties are widely studied, their antifouling functions are readily lost when scratches or detachments occur through physical damage during operation and chemical degradation by water and corrosive foulants. Consequently, it is important to develop antifouling membranes with autonomous self-healing capabilities. Herein, self-healable functionalized poly(ether sulfone) (PES) antifouling membranes have been fabricated via the sequential conjugation of the zwitterionic random copolymer [poly(1-(1-(1-adamantylcarbonyloxy)methyl)-3-vinylimidazolium bromide-co-1-(3-sulfopropyl)-3-vinylimidazolium-co-vinylamine)] (P(ADVI-co-SBVI-co-VA), abbreviated as PASV copolymer) and linear cyclodextrin polymer (LPCD) on polydopamine-preactivated PES supports. The self-healing behaviors rely on the judiciously designed "button-and-buttonhole" supramolecular network. Specifically, β-cyclodextrins in LPCD and adamantines in PASV act as "buttonholes" and "buttons", respectively. Under physical and chemical damages, the β-cyclodextrin "buttonhole" may sacrificially detach from the adamantine "button" of PASV but then recap another adamantine to restore the protective function. The antifouling and self-healing traits of as-functionalized PES-g-PASV-LPCD membranes were demonstrated by the superior antiprotein behaviors and improved antimicrobial performances on both nonaged and aged samples. In the PRO process, the modified membranes were effective in mitigating organic fouling and exhibited higher power density (79% of the initial value) than the nonmodified ones (47% of the initial value) in municipal wastewater testing. The strategy for engineering inherently healable and antifouling membranes paves a new pathway for the development of sustainable membranes for osmotic power production.

Impact of three-dimensional tortuous pore structure on polyethersulfone membrane morphology and mass transfer properties from a manufacturing perspective. J Artif Organs 2019; 23:171-179.

Abstract
We examined typical commercial poly(ethersulfone) (PESf) hemodialysis and hemoconcentration membranes successfully used in manufacturing, and employed scanning probe microscope (SPM) to achieve a structural observation of the pores in the inner membrane surfaces, as well as measure the pore diameters and their distribution, verifying the relationship between the typical mass transfer properties. We focused on the differences between the PESf membranes which were expected to further improve the advanced pore structure control and functional design for various medical uses. The three-dimensional tortuous capillary pores on the inner surface of hollow fiber hemodialysis and hemoconcentrator membranes were investigated using dynamic force microscopy (DFM), and the pore diameter and distribution were measured through a line analysis. Compared with PUREMA-A, PES-Sα hemodialysis membranes have smaller three-dimensional tortuous capillary pore diameters and pore areas, as well as a smaller pore diameter distribution and pore area distribution, which make the accurate measurements of the pore diameter using FE-SEM impossible. These PESf membranes are almost the same in pure water permeability, but greatly differ in pore diameter and pore diameter distribution. By comparing and verifying as above, we may gain insight into the flexibility, versatility, and superior structural and functional controllability of PESf membrane pore structures, which could advance the development of pore structure control. Pending issues include the fact that, using a line analysis software of SPM devices, it is very difficult to measure hundred pores which clearly reflects the poor quality of pore size distributions obtained in this study, measurement accuracy must be improved further.

Abstract
Porous polymeric membranes have emerged as the core technology in the field of separation. But some challenges remain for several methods used for membrane fabrication, suggesting the need for a critical review of the literature. We present here an overview on porous polymeric membrane preparation and characterization for two commonly used polymers: polysulfone and poly (vinylidene fluoride). Five different methods for membrane fabrication are introduced: non-solvent induced phase separation, vapor-induced phase separation, electrospinning, track etching and sintering. The key factors of each method are discussed, including the solvent and non-solvent system type and composition, the polymer solution composition and concentration, the processing parameters, and the ambient conditions. To evaluate these methods, a brief description on membrane characterization is given related to morphology and performance. One objective of this review is to present the basics for selecting an appropriate method and membrane fabrication systems with appropriate processing conditions to produce membranes with the desired morphology, performance and stability, as well as to select the best methods to determine these properties.
