Polyphenol-mediated defect patching of graphene oxide membranes for sulfonamide contaminants removal and fouling control. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 469:133890. [PMID: 38422736 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133890] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO)-based laminar membranes are promising candidates for next-generation nanofiltration membranes because of their theoretically frictionless nanochannels. However, nonuniform stacking during the filtration process and the inherent swelling of GO nanosheets generate horizontal and vertical defects, leading to a low selectivity and susceptibility to pore blockage. Herein, both types of defects are simultaneously patching by utilizing tannic acid and FeⅢ. Tannic acid first partially reduced the upper GO framework, and then coordinated with FeⅢ to form a metal-polyphenol network covering horizontal defects. Due to the enhanced steric hindrance, the resulting membrane exhibited a two-fold increase in sulfonamide contaminants exclusion compared to the pristine GO membrane. A non-significant reduction in permeance was observed. In terms of fouling control, shielding defects significantly alleviated the irreversible pore blockage of the membrane. Additionally, the hydrophilic metal-polyphenol network weakened the adhesion force between the membrane and foulants, thereby improving the reversibility of fouling in the cleaning stage. This work opens up a new way to develop GO-based membranes with enhanced separation performance and antifouling ability.

Acta Biomater 2024; 175:76-105. [PMID: 38128641 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.12.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
The lubrication modification of biomedical devices significantly enhances the functionality of implanted interventional medical devices, thereby providing additional benefits for patients. Polymer brush coating provides a convenient and efficient method for surface modification while ensuring the preservation of the substrate's original properties. The current research has focused on a "trial and error" method to finding polymer brushes with superior lubricity qualities, which is time-consuming and expensive, as obtaining effective and long-lasting lubricity properties for polymer brushes is difficult. This review summarizes recent research advances in the biomedical field in the design, material selection, preparation, and characterization of lubricating and antifouling polymer brushes, which follow the polymer brush development process. This review begins by examining various approaches to polymer brush design, including molecular dynamics simulation and machine learning, from the fundamentals of polymer brush lubrication. Recent advancements in polymer brush design are then synthesized and potential avenues for future research are explored. Emphasis is placed on the burgeoning field of zwitterionic polymer brushes, and highlighting the broad prospects of supramolecular polymer brushes based on host-guest interactions in the field of self-repairing polymer brush applications. The review culminates by providing a summary of methodologies for characterizing the structural and functional attributes of polymer brushes. It is believed that a development approach for polymer brushes based on "design-material selection-preparation-characterization" can be created, easing the challenge of creating polymer brushes with high-performance lubricating qualities and enabling the on-demand creation of coatings. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Biomedical devices have severe lubrication modification needs, and surface lubrication modification by polymer brush coating is currently the most promising means. However, the design and preparation of polymer brushes often involves "iterative testing" to find polymer brushes with excellent lubrication properties, which is both time-consuming and expensive. This review proposes a polymer brush development process based on the "design-material selection-preparation-characterization" strategy and summarizes recent research advances and trends in the design, material selection, preparation, and characterization of polymer brushes. This review will help polymer brush researchers by alleviating the challenges of creating polymer brushes with high-performance lubricity and promises to enable the on-demand construction of polymer brush lubrication coatings.

Abstract
Reversible biointerfaces are essential for on-demand molecular recognition to regulate stimuli-responsive bioactivity such as specific interactions with cell membranes. The reversibility on a single platform allows the smart material to kill pathogens or attach/detach cells. Herein, we introduce a 2D-MoS2 functionalized with cationic azobenzene that interacts selectively with either Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria in a light-gated fashion. The trans conformation (trans-Azo-MoS2 ) selectively kills Gram-negative bacteria, whereas the cis form (cis-Azo-MoS2 ), under UV light, exhibits antibacterial activity against Gram-positive strains. The mechanistic investigation indicates that the cis-Azo-MoS2 exhibits higher affinity towards the membrane of Gram-positive bacteria compared to trans-Azo-MoS2 . In case of Gram-negative bacteria, trans-Azo-MoS2 internalizes more efficiently than cis-Azo-MoS2 and generates intracellular ROS to kill the bacteria. While the trans-Azo-MoS2 exhibits strong electrostatic interactions and internalizes faster into Gram-negative bacterial cells, cis-Azo-MoS2 primarily interacts with Gram-positive bacteria through hydrophobic and H-bonding interactions. The difference in molecular mechanism leads to photo-controlled Gram-selectivity and enhanced antibacterial activity. We found strain-specific and high bactericidal activity (minimal bactericidal concentration, 0.65 μg/ml) with low cytotoxicity, which we extended to wound healing applications. This methodology provides a single platform for efficiently switching between conformers to reversibly control the strain-selective bactericidal activity regulated by light.

Abstract
In this study, considering the serious problem of lack of fresh water worldwide and the effectiveness of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes in water purification, we prepared improved RO membranes with two-dimensional quasi-MXene nanosheets. In this study, the MAX phase with the chemical formula of Ti2AlN was prepared through the reactive sintering route. Prosperous preparation of the MAX phase with the hexagonal crystalline structure was approved by an X-ray diffraction pattern. Compacted sheets morphology was recognized for the prepared MAX phase from transmittance electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy micrographs. Then, Ti2NTx quasi-MXene nanosheets were prepared by selective ultrasonic-assisted exfoliation of the MAX phase. Polyamide (PA) thin-layer composite RO membranes with different weight percentages of Ti2NTx quasi-MXene were fabricated by the interfacial polymerization (IP) method. The addition of ultrasonic-assisted prepared quasi-MXene creates numerous and coherent nanochannels on the surface of the membrane. The optimum membrane with 0.01 wt% of quasi-MXene showed the highest pure water flux of 31.9 L m-2. h-1 with an improved salt rejection of 98.2%. Therefore, these nanosheets showed that they can partially solve the trade-off between water permeability and salt rejection, which is a serious challenge in RO membranes. Also, the membranes containing quasi-MXene showed good resistance against fouling by humic acid. This research can be a scalable development in making high-performance membranes.

Removal of natural organic matter from surface water sources by nanofiltration and surface engineering membranes for fouling mitigation - A review. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 321:138070. [PMID: 36775036 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.138070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 02/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Given that surface water is the primary supply of drinking water worldwide, the presence of natural organic matter (NOM) in surface water presents difficulties for water treatment facilities. During the disinfection phase of the drinking water treatment process, NOM aids in the creation of toxic disinfection by-products (DBPs). This problem can be effectively solved using the nanofiltration (NF) membrane method, however NOM can significantly foul NF membranes, degrading separation performance and membrane integrity, necessitating the development of fouling-resistant membranes. This review offers a thorough analysis of the removal of NOM by NF along with insights into the operation, mechanisms, fouling, and its controlling variables. In light of engineering materials with distinctive features, the potential of surface-engineered NF membranes is here critically assessed for the impact on the membrane surface, separation, and antifouling qualities. Case studies on surface-engineered NF membranes are critically evaluated, and properties-to-performance connections are established, as well as challenges, trends, and predictions for the field's future. The effect of alteration on surface properties, interactions with solutes and foulants, and applications in water treatment are all examined in detail. Engineered NF membranes containing zwitterionic polymers have the greatest potential to improve membrane permeance, selectivity, stability, and antifouling performance. To support commercial applications, however, difficulties related to material production, modification techniques, and long-term stability must be solved promptly. Fouling resistant NF membrane development would be critical not only for the water treatment industry, but also for a wide range of developing applications in gas and liquid separations.

Abstract
In spite of extensive research, fouling is still the main challenge for nanofiltration membranes, generating an extra transport resistance and requiring a larger operational pressure in practical applications. We fabricated a highly antifouling nanofiltration membrane by grafting poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) chains on a bromine-containing polyamide layer. The resulting membrane was found to have a double permeance compared to the pristine membrane, while the rejection of multivalent ions remained the same. In addition, PNIPAM chains yielded a better deposition resistance and adhesion resistance, thereby mitigating the increase of fouling and promoting the recovery of flux during the filtration and traditional cleaning stages, respectively. Moreover, PNIPAM chains shrank when the water temperature was above the lower critical solution temperature (LCST), indicating the formation of a buffer layer between the membrane and pollutants. The buffer layer would eliminate the membrane-foulant interaction energy, thus further enhancing the detachment of pollutants. This simple and efficient cleaning method could act as an enhanced cleaning procedure to remove irreversible fouling. This provides new insights into the fabrication of enhanced antifouling membranes using smart responsive polymer chains.

Abstract
Membrane fouling during the use of separation membrane has always been the main reason for the degradation of membrane performance. The traditional solution is complicated and inefficient, so we proposed multi-step integration method to prepare antifouling zwitterionic poly(aryl ether sulfone) (PAES-Z-x) ultrafiltration (UF) membrane with higher efficiency. We designed and synthesized a bisphenol precursor containing tertiary amine groups, which could provide reactive sites for grafting zwitterionic group. Afterwards, the zwitterionic modified UF membrane was prepared by graft copolymerization and non-solvent-induced phase separation (NIPS). The morphology, hydrophilicity, water flux and rejection of the PAES-Z-x membrane could be optimized by tuning zwitterion content. The hydration layer formed by zwitterions effectively reduced the adsorption of proteins and endowed the membrane good antifouling properties. The resulting membrane showed the pure water flux increased (up to 311 L m-2h-1 bar-1), high bovine serum albumin (BSA) rejection (97%) and good water flux recovery ratio (FRR) (82.8%). Zwitterionic antifouling PAES UF membrane prepared by a simple and effective method provided a new direction for improving PAES UF membrane's antifouling performance.

Abstract
Mature microfiltration (MF) membrane is a low-cost, effective, and promising technology to provide affordable purified water for people living in developing countries. However, the lack of disinfection ability and inherent membrane fouling problems have seriously restricted the large-scale application of conventional MF treatment system in producing safe drinking water. In this work, zwitterionic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with surface modification of poly(carboxybetaine acrylate-co-dopamine methacryamide) (PCBDA) copolymers were robustly immobilized onto commercial polyamide MF membrane via mussel-inspired chemistry for water disinfection. The designed microfiltration membrane, named as PCBDA@AgNPs-MF, exhibited integrated properties of high and stable payload of AgNPs, broad-spectrum anti-adhesive and antimicrobial activities, and easy removal of inactivated microbial cells from membrane surface. Ascribing to the synergetic effect of anti-adhesive and antimicrobial features brought by zwitterionic PCBDA@AgNPs, the biofilms growth on polyamide membrane surface was significantly inhibited, which showed potential access to achieve long-term biofouling resistance and maintain water flux for conventional MF membrane. As water disinfection device, these attributes enabled PCBDA@AgNPs-MF to effectively disinfect the model and natural bacteria-contaminated water.

Abstract
Climate change, population growth, and increased industrial activities are exacerbating freshwater scarcity and leading to increased interest in desalination of saline water. Brackish water is an attractive alternative to freshwater due to its low salinity and widespread availability in many water-scarce areas. However, partial or total desalination of brackish water is essential to reach the water quality requirements for a variety of applications. Selection of appropriate technology requires knowledge and understanding of the operational principles, capabilities, and limitations of the available desalination processes. Proper combination of feedwater technology improves the energy efficiency of desalination. In this article, we focus on pressure-driven and electro-driven membrane desalination processes. We review the principles, as well as challenges and recent improvements for reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration (NF), electrodialysis (ED), and membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI). RO is the dominant membrane process for large-scale desalination of brackish water with higher salinity, while ED and MCDI are energy-efficient for lower salinity ranges. Selective removal of multivalent components makes NF an excellent option for water softening. Brackish water desalination with membrane processes faces a series of challenges. Membrane fouling and scaling are the common issues associated with these processes, resulting in a reduction in their water recovery and energy efficiency. To overcome such adverse effects, many efforts have been dedicated toward development of pre-treatment steps, surface modification of membranes, use of anti-scalant, and modification of operational conditions. However, the effectiveness of these approaches depends on the fouling propensity of the feed water. In addition to the fouling and scaling, each process may face other challenges depending on their state of development and maturity. This review provides recent advances in the material, architecture, and operation of these processes that can assist in the selection and design of technologies for particular applications. The active research directions to improve the performance of these processes are also identified. The review shows that technologies that are tunable and particularly efficient for partial desalination such as ED and MCDI are increasingly competitive with traditional RO processes. Development of cost-effective ion exchange membranes with high chemical and mechanical stability can further improve the economy of desalination with electro-membrane processes and advance their future applications.

Abstract
The development of highly efficient thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes with superior water permeability, maintained rejection performance, and excellent antifouling capacity is critical to meeting the ever-escalating demand for fresh water. Herein, carbon dots (CDs) grafted with hyperbranched zwitterions, denoted as CDs-ZPEI0.6-10k, were first prepared by the hydrothermal treatment of citric acid in the presence of zwitterionic hyperbranched polyethylenimine (ZPEI0.6-10k) with different molecular weights (0.6, 1.8, and 10 kDa). Subsequently, the synthesized nanoparticles were introduced in membrane fabrication to form CDs-ZPEI0.6-10k-embedded TFN (TFN-CDs-ZPEI0.6-10k) membranes. The grafted shells of superhydrophilic ZPEI not only increased the chemical compatibility of CDs in the polyamide layer to suppress the formation of nonselective voids but also created a densely packed network for efficient water transportation and effective divalent salt rejection. The TFN-CDs-ZPEI10k membrane demonstrated a 2.8-fold enhancement in the permeate flux with an increased Na2SO4 rejection rate of 98.1% and improved antifouling properties than the pristine thin-film composite (TFC) membrane. This work provides an insight into the development of functionalized core-shell structured nanoparticles to effectively overcome the permeability-selectivity trade-off limitations and fouling problems in TFC membranes.

Abstract
Membrane fouling, caused by aggregation of organics and microorganisms from filtrate on the membrane surface, seriously reduces the service life of a nanofiltration (NF) membrane. Developing facile and renewable antifouling modification methods without sacrificing separation properties of the membrane remain an imperative requirement. Herein, a thin-film composite (TFC) NF membrane with a light-responsive and regenerable functional layer (P-TFC) was fabricated via host-guest interactions between the azobenzene (guest) labeled functional polymers and the β-cyclodextrin (host) bonded membrane surface (H-TFC). The P-TFC-3 not only showed outstanding antifouling ability and high flux recovery ratio (FRR > 90% at the fourth antiadhesive test) but also exhibited enhanced water permeability (17.9 L m-2 h-1 bar-1) and high selectivity (αMgSO4NaCl = 33.4 and fast antibiotics enrichment capacity) compared with the pristine membrane. Furthermore, when the functional layer was contaminated, it can be removed by ultraviolet light irradiation and a new functional layer can be rebuilt by adding fresh azobenzene labeled functional polymers. After several regeneration processes, the membranes still showed constant separation properties and high flux recovery ability (FRR > 90%). This work proposes an easy-to-assemble and regenerable surface modification strategy to endow TFC NF membranes with excellent fouling resistance and sustainable utilization ability while maintaining high separation properties.

Abstract
In this work, a novel method of carbodiimide-assisted zwitterionic modification was proposed and implemented to incorporate zwitterionic moieties onto poly(piperazine amide) membrane for improved water permeability and anti-depositing property, which are crucial for highly efficient nanofiltration of dye-contained effluents. Carboxyl groups of polyamide layer were firstly transferred into N-acylurea using excess l-ethyl-3-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-carbodiimide. Zwitterions were then incorporated through ring-opening reaction between tertiary amine groups of N-acylurea and 1, 4-butanesultone. Carbodiimide-assisted zwitterionic modification was verified by ATR-IR and XPS analyses and was found to not affect membrane pore size but significantly enhance membrane's permeation and anti-dye-deposition performances. Compared with those of virgin membrane, water permeabilities of the desired zwitterionic membrane to pure water, Congo red aqueous solution and Victoria blue B aqueous solution were higher by 42.9, 62.3 and 95.2 %, respectively, hydraulic resistances from irreversible deposition of Congo red and Victoria blue B molecules were dramatically lowered by 68.4 and 91.8 %, respectively. Furthermore, the perm-selectivity performance of the desired zwitterionic membrane in terms of molecular weight cut-off and pure water permeability was better than most of the reported zwitterionic membranes, and the separation and anti-depositing performances to both anionic and cationic dye aqueous solutions were better than commercial membrane NF270.

Abstract
Persistent organic micropollutants have seriously damaged aquatic ecological equilibrium and affected human health. Conventional adsorbents are limited due to slow adsorption rate. Therefore, it's significant to integrate adsorbent into porous membrane to develop a highly efficient continuous filtration method for water purification. Herein, β-cyclodextrin polymer (β-CDP) composite porous membranes were prepared via convenient interfacial cross-linking. The membranes combined the adsorption ability of β-CDP and the convective mass transport process of filtration membrane to quickly remove contaminants from water by flow-through adsorption. In optimized preparation conditions, the composite membrane exhibited a 100% of removal efficiency towards bisphenol A and a high treating capacity up to 440 mg m-2. The treating capacity kept nearly unchanged in acidic and neutral pH condition, while increased greatly with the addition of salts due to the salting-out effect. Also, the membrane could completely remove pollutants with ultrahigh flux up to 2500 L·m-2 h-1. In addition, the used membranes were fully regenerated by mild ethanol cleaning.

Abstract
Nanofiltration membranes have evolved as a promising solution to tackle the clean water scarcity and wastewater treatment processes with their low energy requirement and environment friendly operating conditions. Thin film composite nanofiltration membranes with high permeability, and excellent antifouling and antibacterial properties are important component for wastewater treatment and clean drinking water production units. In the scope of this study, thin film composite nanofiltration membranes were fabricated using polyacrylonitrile (PAN) support and fast second interfacial polymerization modification methods by grafting polyethylene amine and zwitterionic sulfobutane methacrylate moieties. Chemical and physical alteration in structure of the membranes were characterized using methods like ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, XPS analysis, FESEM and AFM imaging. The effects of second interfacial polymerization to incorporate polyamide layer and ‘ion pair’ characteristics, in terms of water contact angle and surface charge analysis was investigated in correlation with nanofiltration performance. Furthermore, the membrane characteristics in terms of antifouling properties were evaluated using model protein foulants like bovine serum albumin and lysozyme. Antibacterial properties of the modified membranes were investigated using E. coli as model biofoulant. Overall, the effect of second interfacial polymerization without affecting the selectivity layer of nanofiltration membrane for their potential large-scale application was investigated in detail.

Post-Treatment of Nanofiltration Polyamide Membrane through Alkali-Catalyzed Hydrolysis to Treat Dyes in Model Wastewater. WATER 2019.

Abstract
This research focused on the influence of post-treatment using alkali-catalyzed hydrolysis with a full-aromatic nanofiltration (NF) polyamide membrane and its application to the efficient removal of selected dyes. The post-treated membranes were characterized through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, goniometry, and zeta-potential analysis to analyze the treatment-induced changes in the intrinsic properties of the membrane. Furthermore, the changes in permeability induced by the post-treatment were evaluated via the measurement of water flux, NaCl rejection, and molecular weight cutoff (MWCO) under different pH conditions and post-treatment times. Major changes induced by the post-treatment in terms of physicochemical properties were the enhancement of permeability, hydrophilicity, and negative charge due to the hydrolysis of the membrane’s amide bonds. Four different dyes were selected as representative organic pollutants considering the MWCO of the post-treated membranes. Compared with the pristine NF membrane, membranes post-treated at pH 13.5 showed better water flux with similar rejection of the target dyes. On the basis of these results, the proposed post-treatment method for NF membranes can be applied to the removal of organic pollutants of various size.
