[PMID: 38875856 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2024.121895] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are ubiquitous in the aquatic environment and have caused widespread concerns globally due to their potential hazards to humans. Especially, NPs have smaller sizes and higher penetrability, and therefore can penetrate the human barrier more easily and may pose potentially higher risks than MPs. Currently, most reviews have overlooked the differences between MPs and NPs and conflated them in the discussions. This review compared the differences in physicochemical properties and environmental behaviors of MPs and NPs. Commonly used techniques for removing MPs and NPs currently employed by wastewater treatment plants and drinking water treatment plants were summarized, and their weaknesses were analyzed. We further comprehensively reviewed the latest technological advances (e.g., emerging coagulants, new filters, novel membrane materials, photocatalysis, Fenton, ozone, and persulfate oxidation) for the separation and degradation of MPs and NPs. Microplastics are more easily removed than NPs through separation processes, while NPs are more easily degraded than MPs through advanced oxidation processes. The operational parameters, efficiency, and potential governing mechanisms of various technologies as well as their advantages and disadvantages were also analyzed in detail. Appropriate technology should be selected based on environmental conditions and plastic size and type. Finally, current challenges and prospects in the detection, toxicity assessment, and removal of MPs and NPs were proposed. This review intends to clarify the differences between MPs and NPs and provide guidance for removing MPs and NPs from urban water systems.

Construction of PDA-PEI/ZIF-L@PE tight ultra-filtration (TUF) membranes on porous polyethylene (PE) substrates for efficient dye/salt separation. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 468:133727. [PMID: 38367434 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133727] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024]
Abstract
Tight ultra-filtration (TUF) membranes were constructed by in situ growing zinc imidazole frameworks micro-crystalline leaves (ZIF-L) in polyethylene imine (PEI) and polydopamine (PDA) deposit layers on porous polyethylene (PE) substrates. The effects of preparation conditions on the surface physical and chemical structures as well as on the dye/salt separation performance of the formed TUF membranes were systematically investigated. By inserting selective water permeation channels and increasing contacting surface areas, in situ-grown ZIF-L arrays tightly cross-linked in the coating matrix greatly increased water permeation without trading off dye/salt retention selectivity. The morphology of the included ZIF-L particles could be varied by adjusting the ligand/Zn molar ratio (α) in the preparation processes. Optimized PDA-PEI/ZIF-L@PE TUF membranes containing ZIF-L of cross-cross block morphology showed very high pure water permeability of 180 ± 20 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1 (LMHB) and retention selectivity (SCR/Na2SO4 and SMB/Na2SO4) of 267 and 43, respectively, as well as excellent stability and anti-fouling properties.

Abstract
Membrane separation is considered an effective approach to water purification. Nevertheless, membrane fouling dramatically decreases the separation efficiency and lifetime of membranes, thus limiting its further development and application. Herein, a multifunctional self-cleaning MIL-88A(Fe) decorated polyvinyl alcohol/sodium alginate (MIL-88A(Fe)@PVA-SA) nanofiber membrane was prepared by electrospinning and in-situ growth methods for the separation of oil/water emulsions and photo-Fenton degradation of dyes. The membrane possesses superhydrophilicity with a water contact angle (WCA) of 0° and superoleophobicity with underwater oil contact angle (UCA) of 161.7°, and exhibits superior separation efficiency (>99.5 %) and permeation flux (1140-2455 L/m2/h) for different oil/water emulsions. Moreover, the membrane exhibited an outstanding photo-Fenton performance under visible light, with degradation efficiencies (~99.9 %) towards methylene blue (MB) and reactive red 24 (RR24) within 90 min. Importantly, the membrane can be easily regenerated by simple rinsing and photo-Fenton self-cleaning treatment. In this study, MIL-88A(Fe)@PVA-SA nanofiber membrane has a promising application in dye removal and oil/water separation, providing a new idea to develop novel membrane materials.

Abstract
Developing an intelligent, sensitive, and visual strategy for quickly identifying anthrax biomarkers is crucial for ensuring food safety and preventing disease outbreaks. Herein, a smartphone-integrated ratiometric fluorescent sensing platform based on bimetallic metal-organic framework (Eux/Tb1-x-MOF) nanowires was designed for specific recognition of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (DPA, anthrax biomarker). The Eux/Tb1-x-MOF was prepared by coordinating Eu3+ and Tb3+ with BBDC ligands, which exhibited a uniform fibrous morphology and dual-emission fluorescence at 543 and 614 nm. After the introduction of DPA, the red emission at 614 nm displayed obvious fluorescence quenching, while the green emission at 543 nm was gradually enhanced. The ratiometric sensing offered a wide linear equation in the range of 0.06-15 µg/mL and a low detection limit (LOD) of 20.69 ng/mL. Furthermore, a portable smartphone installing the color recognition application can achieve sensitive, real-time, and visual detection of DPA. As a simple and effective smartphone-assisted sensing platform, this work holds admirable promise to broaden the applications in biomarker real-time determinations and other fields.

Abstract
MOF-based catalytic membrane reactor (MCMR), which can simultaneously achieve membrane separation and chemical catalytic degradation in an integrated system, is a cutting-edge technology for effective treatment of organic pollutants in water. The coupling of MCMR and advanced oxidation process (AOP) not only significantly improves the pollutant removal efficiency but also inhibits the membrane pollution through self-cleaning effect, thus improving the stability of MCMR. This paper reviews different MCMR systems combined with photocatalysis, Fenton oxidation, and persulfate activation, elucidates the reaction mechanism, discusses key issues to improve system effectiveness, and suggests future challenges and research directions.

Abstract
Carbendazim (CBZ), a well-known benzimidazole pesticide, is utilized in agriculture to prevent and cure plant diseases caused by fungi. Residual CBZ in food poses serious threat to human health. Herein, a fluorescent two-dimensional terbium-based metal-organic framework (2D Tb-MOF) nanosheet sensor was developed for the rapid and ultrasensitive detection of CBZ. The 2D Tb-MOF nanosheets, prepared with Tb3+ ions and 5-borono-1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid (BBDC) as the precursors, exhibited excellent optical properties. Upon the addition of CBZ, the fluorescence of Tb-MOF nanosheets was quenched because of the inner filter effect (IFE) and dynamic quenching. The fluorescence sensor offered two linear ranges of 0.06-4 and 4-40 µg/mL with a low detection limit of 17.95 ng/mL. Furthermore, the proposed sensing platform was successfully applied to assay CBZ in apples and tea, and satisfactory results were obtained. This study provides an effective alternative strategy for the qualitative and quantitative determination of CBZ to ensure food safety.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) cannot be completely removed from water/wastewater in conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs). According to the literature analysis, membrane technologies, one of the advanced treatment technologies, are the most effective and promising technologies for MP removal from water and wastewater. In this paper, firstly, the properties of MPs commonly present in WWTPs/DWTPs and the MP removal efficiency of WWTPs/DWTPs are briefly reviewed. In addition, research studies on MP removal from water/wastewater by microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF), reverse osmosis (RO), and membrane bioreactors (MBRs) are reviewed. In the next section, membrane filtration is compared with other methods used for MP removal from water/wastewater, and the advantages/disadvantages of the removal methods are discussed. Moreover, the problem of membrane fouling with MPs during filtration and the potential for MP release from polymeric membrane structure to water/wastewater are discussed. Finally, based on the studies in the literature, the current status and research deficiencies of MP removal by membrane technologies are identified, and recommendations are made for further studies.

Abstract
This research used the phase inversion approach to construct polyvinyl chloride nanocellulose@titanium aluminate nanocomposite membranes (PVC/NC@TALCM) to adsorb and filter dye from wastewater. FTIR, XRD, and SEM were used to determine the adsorptive nanocomposite membrane that had been synthesized. The thermal and electrical properties measurements were carried out using a static system. The influence of several adsorbent dosages, pH, and dye concentrations on the nanocomposite membrane's adsorption ability was investigated. Using a dead-end filtration system, the PVC-NC@TALCM was evaluated as a pressure filtration membrane system. It was found that 98.6% of MB dye was removed by PVC-NC@TALCM membrane, which was loaded with 5% titanium aluminate at pH 10. The kinetic adsorption studies indicated that the adsorption of MB onto the PVC-NC@TALCM nanocomposite membrane obeys pseudo-second-order that indicates the chemosorption process. The isotherm data were described using Freundlich and Langmuir models, and the Freundlich isotherms were shown to be more closely match the experimental data than the Langmuir model. Finally, the PVC-NC@TALCM nanocomposite membrane was economical, environmentally friendly, and self-cleaning.

Abstract
Polyamide (PA) reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes have been applied widely for desalination and wastewater reuse in the last 5-10 years. A novel thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane featuring a nanomaterial interlayer (TFNi) has emerged in recent years and attracted the attention of researchers. The novel TFNi membranes are prepared from different nanomaterials and with different loading methods. The choices of intercalated nanomaterials, substrate layers and loading methods are based on the object to be treated. The introduction of nanostructured interlayers improves the formation of the PA separation layer and provides ultrafast water molecule transport channels. In this manner, the TFNi membrane mitigates the trade-off between permeability and selectivity reported for polyamide composite membranes. In addition, TFNi membranes enhance the removal of metal ions and organics and the recovery of organic solvents during nanofiltration and reverse osmosis, which is critical for environmental ecology and industrial applications. This review provides statistics and analyzes the developments in TFNi membranes over the last 5-10 years. The latest research results are reviewed, including the selection of the substrate and interlayer materials, preparation methods, specific application areas and more advanced characterization methods. Mechanistic aspects are analyzed to encourage future research, and potential mechanisms for industrialization are discussed.

Abstract
Wastewater is inevitably generated from human activities as part of the life cycle chain that potentially damages the environment. The integration of photocatalytic reaction and membrane separation for wastewater treatment has gained great attention in recent studies. However, there are still many technical limitations for its application such as toxic metal release, catalyst deactivation, fouling/biofouling, polymer disintegration, and separation performance decline. Different types, combinations, and modifications of photocatalysts material combined with membranes such as semiconductor metal oxides, binary/ternary hybrid metal oxides, elemental doped semiconductors, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for improving the performance and compatibility are presented and discussed. The strategies of incorporating photocatalysts into membrane matrix for pursuing the most stable membrane integrity, high photocatalytic efficiency, and excellent perm-selectivity performance in the very recent studies were discussed. This review also outlines the performance enhancement of photocatalytic membranes (PMs) in wastewater treatment and its potential for water reclamation. Photocatalysts enhanced membrane separation by inducing anti-fouling and self-cleaning properties as well as antibacterial activity. Based on the reviewed study, PMs are possible to achieve complete removal of emerging contaminants and ∼99% reduction of bacterial colony that leading on the zero liquid discharge (ZLD). However, the intensive exposure of photo-induced radicals potentially damages the polymeric membrane. Therefore, future studies should be focused on fabricating chemically stable host-membrane material. Moreover, the light source and the membrane module design for the practical application by considering the hydrodynamic and cost-efficiency should be a concern for technology diffusion to the industrial-scale application.

Abstract
In this study, an efficient oxygen-activated self-cleaning membrane was successfully prepared by grafting a metal-organic framework-devised catalyst (CuNi-C) onto a membrane surface, resulting in enhanced filtration performance and self-cleaning capability based on oxygen activation under mild conditions. The pore features, surface roughness, and surface hydrophilicity of the prepared membrane were analyzed and used to determine the causes of the enhanced filtration performance; the results showed that an increase in the porosity and surface roughness enhanced the permeate flux, and enhanced adsorption capacity and surface hydrophobicity improved the membrane removal efficiency. The self-cleaning mechanism was elucidated by identifying the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and detecting catalytic element valences. The results revealed that zero-valent Cu embedded into the membrane surface effectively activated natural dissolved oxygen (DO) to generate ROS that degraded organic pollutants. In this study, catalytic oxidation with DO as the oxidant was successively integrated with membrane separation to prevent membrane fouling, providing a novel direction for the development of multifunctional membranes.

Abstract
In many important industries, such as the textile printing industry, a large amount of dye/salt wastewater is often discharged, which can destroy the ecological environment of the water body. Membrane technology has a great potential in the treatment of environmental problems caused by dye/salt wastewater. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofiltration (NF) membrane has a bright future in dye/salt wastewater treatment, however, works on this are rare. Herein, antibacterial PVA NF membrane incorporated with Cu(OH)2 nanowires for the dye/salt wastewater treatment is reported. The membrane was prepared via coating the solutions containing PVA, glutaraldehyde and Cu(OH)2 nanowires on the polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane. Cu(OH)2 nanowires has a diameter of 60 nm and was successfully introduced into the membrane. The introduction of nanowires improved the membrane hydrophilicity and roughness, which is conducive to the improvement of membrane flux. Membrane separation performance for one component solution and dye/salt solution were investigated. The introduction of Cu(OH)2 increases the flux of the membrane obviously (the highest increase is 178.78% (from 21.49 to 38.42 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1, for NaCl solution as the feed). Besides, the membrane doped with nanowires also possessed a high dye/salt selectivity. For one component solution, the dye removal rate was over 97.00% while the salt rejection was low (the lowest was 13.18% (NaCl)). For the dye/salt solution, the dye (Congo Red) rejection kept at a high level (98.91%) and the salt (NaCl) rejection was still low (13.71%), while the flux was also high (37.56 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1). The performance is superior to that of many membranes reported in previous works. Moreover, the Cu(OH)2 nanowires endowed the membrane with an improved and high antibacterial property. The sterilization rate of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus reached more than 99.99%.

Abstract
In this article, we synthesized a Yb3+-doped two-dimensional (2-D) upconverting Tb metal-organic framework (Tb-MOF) (hereinafter referred to as Tb-UCMOF) by a one-step solvothermal method. The synthesized Tb-UCMOF is composed of stacks of 2-D nanosheets with an average width distributed between 250 and 300 nm, and these nanosheets can be exfoliated by a simple liquid ultrasound method. The structural characteristics of this flaky particle accumulation are confirmed by the type IV adsorption-desorption isotherm with a H3-type adsorption hysteresis loop, and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface of Tb-UCMOF is 143.9257 m2·g-1. Tb-UCMOF has characteristic emissions of Tb3+ which are located at 490, 545, 585, and 621 nm under 980 nm excitation. The upconverting luminescence mechanism is attributed to that Yb3+ absorbs multiple photons and transfers the energy to Tb3+, causing its 4f electrons to jump to the excited state, and then the upconverting emissions are obtained when electrons return to the ground state. Since the Tb-UCMOF nanosheets have high dispersibility and an obvious upconverting luminescent signal, we explored their luminescence sensing properties. The luminescence intensity is found to gradually decrease with the addition of Cu2+, the linear range of Cu2+ sensing is 0-1.4 μM, and the detection limit is 0.16 μM. This rapid, highly selective, and sensitive Cu2+ sensing indicates that 2-D upconverting MOF nanosheets have great application prospects in luminescence sensing and also promote the research of 2-D upconverting MOFs with specific recognition for the application of biological and environmental luminescent sensors.

Abstract
This review addresses composite membranes used for wastewater treatment, focusing heavily on the anti-biofouling properties of such membranes. Biofouling caused by the development of a thick biofilm on the membrane surface is a major issue that reduces water permeance and reduces its lifetime. Biofilm formation and adhesion are mitigated by modifying membranes with two-dimensional or zero-dimensional carbon-based nanomaterials or their modified substituents. In particular, nanomaterials based on graphene, including graphene oxide and carbon quantum dots, are mainly used as nanofillers in the membrane. Functionalization of the nanofillers with various organic ligands or compositing the nanofiller with other materials, such as silver nanoparticles, enhances the bactericidal ability of composite membranes. Moreover, such membrane modifications reduce biofilm adhesion while increasing water permeance and salt/dye rejection. This review discusses the recent literature on developing graphene oxide-based and carbon quantum dot-based composite membranes for biofouling-resistant wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Sodium tetraborate pentahydrate (STB) was intercalated into graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets to form a nanocomposite (STB@GO). Subsequently, it was self-assembled on a substrate membrane to prepare STB@GO nanofiltration membrane. The properties of the STB@GO powder samples and the nanofiltration membrane were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), contact angle (CA), and zeta potential. When the STB concentration was 1.0 g/L in the cross-linking reaction, the membrane was described as the STB2@GO membrane and exhibited a large interlayer space (d-spacing = 1.347 nm), high hydrophilicity (CA = 22.2°), and high negative potential (zeta = -18.0 mV). Meanwhile, the pure water flux of the membrane was significantly increased by 56.60% than that of the GO membrane. In addition, the STB2@GO membrane exhibited a favorable capability for dye rejection,98.52% for Evans blue (EB), 99.26% for Victoria blue B (VB), 91.94% for Alizarin yellow (AY), and 93.21% for Neutral red (NR). Furthermore, the STB2@GO membrane performed better in dye separation under various types and concentrations of dye, pH values, and ions in solution. Thus, this study provides a promising method for preparing laminated GO nanofiltration membranes for dye wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The present work was aimed to evaluate the adsorption properties of activated carbons based on prickly pear seeds (PPS) and conductive polymer matrix based on polyaniline (PANI) for the removal of anionic Congo red (CR) dye from aqueous solutions. The adsorbent was prepared by polymerization of aniline in the presence of activated PPS by phosphoric acid and sodium hydroxide. The samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) methods. The adsorption kinetics were studied using UV-visible (UV/Vis) spectroscopy. The characterization data suggest that the adsorption of the Congo red dye is enhanced because PANI chain molecules, which are especially accountable for removal through π–π interaction and H–bonding with the CR, are adsorbed/tethered onto the acid-activated PPS (PPSH), and thus surmount the mass transfer limitation by being best exposed to the CR-adsorbed molecule. The adsorption kinetics follows the pseudo-second order process. The correlation coefficients (R2) for Langmuir, Freundlich and Tempkin showed that the adsorption values obey Freundlich and Tempkin isotherm models. Moreover, the isotherm was most accurately described by the Freundlich model, and the maximum removal percentage was calculated to be 91.14% under optimized conditions of pH 6.6, 1 g/L of adsorbent dosage, and an initial CR dye concentration of 20 mg·L−1. Importantly, the hybrid adsorbent exhibited the highest adsorption capacity (80.15%) after five cycles of the adsorption–desorption process. Thermodynamic parameters, such as entropy changes, enthalpy changes and Gibbs free energy, were also evaluated. These results indicated that the PANI matrix can generally be better utilized for the removal of Congo red dye when appropriately dispersed on the surface of suitable support materials. These results provide a new direction to promote the separable adsorbents with increasing performance for adsorption of dye impurities from wastewater.

Low-pressure highly permeable polyester loose nanofiltration membranes tailored by natural carbohydrates for effective dye/salt fractionation. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 421:126716. [PMID: 34333407 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.126716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2021] [Revised: 07/18/2021] [Accepted: 07/20/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
With the continuous pressure of water contamination caused by textile industry, loose nanofiltration (LNF) membranes prepared by green materials with an extraordinary water permeability are highly desirable for the recovery and purification of dyes and salts. In this work, low-pressure LNF membranes with ultrahigh permeability were fabricated via one-step interfacial polymerization (IP), in which inexpensive natural carbohydrate-derived sugars with large size and low reactivity were utilized as aqueous monomers to design selective layer. A systematic characterization by chemical analysis and optical microscopy demonstrated that the formed polyester film features not only loosen the structure, but also results in a hydrophilic and negatively charged surface. The optimized sucrose-based membrane (Su0.6/TMC0.1) with an excellent water permeability of 52.4 LMH bar-1 was found to have a high rejection of dyes and a high transmission of salts. In addition, the sugar-based membrane manifested an excellent anti-fouling performance and long-term stability. Furthermore, the non-optimized Gl0.6/TMC0.1 and Ra0.6/TMC0.1 membranes also shown a high water permeability, while maintaining a competitive dye/salt separation performance, which confirmed the universal applicability of the membrane design principle. Therefore, the proposed new strategy for preparing next-generation LNF membranes can contribute towards the textile wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In this study, a novel photocatalytic self-cleaning nanofiltration (NF) membrane was fabricated by constructing aspartic acid-functionalized graphene quantum dots (AGQDs) into the polydopamine/polyethyleneimine (PDA/PEI) selective layer via the co-deposition method. The chemical composition, microstructure, and hydrophilicity of the prepared membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), attenuated total reflection (ATR-FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and water contact angle (WCA). Meanwhile, the effects of PEI molecular weight and AGQDs concentration on NF membrane structures and separation performance were systematically investigated. The photocatalytic self-cleaning performance of the PDA/PEI/AGQDs membrane was evaluated in terms of flux recovery rate. For constructing high-performance NF membranes, it is found that the optimal molecular weight of PEI is 10,000 Da, and the optimal concentration of AGQDs is 2000 ppm. The introduction of hydrophilic AGQDs formed a more hydrophilic and dense selective layer during the co-deposition process. Compared with the PDA/PEI membrane, the engineered PDA/PEI/AGQDs NF membrane has enhanced water flux (55.5 LMH·bar-1) and higher rejection (99.7 ± 0.3% for MB). In addition, the PDA/PEI/AGQDs membrane exhibits better photocatalytic self-cleaning performance over the PDA/PEI membrane (83% vs. 69%). Therefore, this study provides a facile approach to construct a self-cleaning NF membrane.
