WATER RESEARCH 2024; 257:121745. [PMID: 38733965 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2024.121745] [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: 02/21/2024] [Revised: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
Polyester-amide (PEA) thin film composite (TFC) NF membranes have rapidly evolved towards a competitive performance, benefiting from their remarkable antifouling capability and superior chlorine resistance. In this report, a new concept of synergistic interfacial polymerization is explored, which promptly triggers the reaction between hydramines and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) in the presence of a trace amount of diamines. This rapid-start mode enables the formation of defect-free PEA films without the requirement of catalysis. A comprehensive characterization of physicochemical properties using high-resolution mass spectrometer (HRMS) reveals that the recombination and formation of a "hydramine-diamine" coupling unit plays a decisive role in activating the synergistic interfacial polymerization reaction with TMC molecules. Taking the pair of serinol and piperazine (PIP) as an example, the PEA-NF membrane fabricated with 0.1 w/v% serinol mixed with 0.04 w/v% PIP as water-soluble monomer and 0.1 w/v% TMC as oil phase monomer was found to have a pure water permeability (PWP) of 18.5 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1 and a MgSO4 rejection of 95.5 %, which surpasses almost all the reported PEA NF membranes. Findings of the current research provide more possibilities for the low-cost and rapid synthesis of high-performance PEA membranes aiming for water purification.

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