[PMID: 39057657 PMCID: PMC11279199 DOI: 10.3390/membranes14070149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2024] [Revised: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
A validation study using recycled ultrafiltration membranes (r-UF) on an aerobic membrane bioreactor (aMBR) was conducted for the first time. Four different polyethersulfone (PES) membranes were tested using synthetic urban wastewater (COD 0.4-0.5 g/L) during two experimental periods: (i) recycled ultrafiltration membrane (r-UF) and commercial UF membrane (molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) 150 kDa) (c-150 kDa); (ii) r-UF membrane modified by dip-coating using catechol (CA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) (mr-UF) and c-20 kDa membrane. Permeability, fouling behavior, and permeate quality were evaluated. Extensive membrane characterization was conducted using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Permeate quality for r-UF and mr-UF membranes was excellent and comparable to that obtained using commercial membranes under similar conditions. Additionally, r-UF and mr-UF membranes presented a steadier performance time. Additionally, r-UF membrane demonstrated less tendency to be fouled (Rf, m-1) r-UF 7.92 ± 0.57 × 1012; mr-UF 9.90 ± 0.14 × 1012, c-150 kDa 1.56 ± 0.07 × 1013 and c-20 kDa 1.25 ± 0.50 × 1013. The r-UF membrane showed an excellent antibiofouling character. Therefore, r-UF membranes can be successfully implemented for wastewater treatment in aMBR, being a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to commercial membranes that can contribute to overcome membrane fouling and membrane replacement issues.

Pervaporation Membranes Based on Polyelectrolyte Complex of Sodium Alginate/Polyethyleneimine Modified with Graphene Oxide for Ethanol Dehydration. Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:1206. [PMID: 38732675 PMCID: PMC11085317 DOI: 10.3390/polym16091206] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2024] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Pervaporation is considered the most promising technology for dehydration of bioalcohols, attracting increasing attention as a renewable energy source. In this regard, the development of stable and effective membranes is required. In this study, highly efficient membranes for the enhanced pervaporation dehydration of ethanol were developed by modification of sodium alginate (SA) with a polyethylenimine (PEI) forming polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) and graphene oxide (GO). The effect of modifications with GO or/and PEI on the structure, physicochemical, and transport characteristics of dense membranes was studied. The formation of a PEC by ionic cross-linking and its interaction with GO led to changes in membrane structure, confirmed by spectroscopic and microscopic methods. The physicochemical properties of membranes were investigated by a thermogravimetric analysis, a differential scanning calorimetry, and measurements of contact angles. The theoretical consideration using computational methods showed favorable hydrogen bonding interactions between GO, PEI, and water, which caused improved membrane performance. To increase permeability, supported membranes without treatment and cross-linked were developed by the deposition of a thin dense layer from the optimal PEC/GO (2.5%) composite onto a developed porous substrate from polyacrylonitrile. The cross-linked supported membrane demonstrated more than two times increased permeation flux, higher selectivity (above 99.7 wt.% water in the permeate) and stability for separating diluted mixtures compared to the dense pristine SA membrane.

Abstract
The structure and size characterization of organic matter (OM) using flow field-flow fractionation (FFFF) is interesting due to the numerous interactions of OM in aquatic systems and water treatment processes. The estimation of hydrodynamic and electrostatic forces involved in the fractionation of OM over different molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) membranes is vital for a better understanding of the FFFF process. This work aims to understand the membrane-OM interactive forces with respect to membrane MWCO, solute molecular weight, flow rates, solution pH and ionic strength. Polystyrene sulfonate sodium salt (PSS) of molecular weights 10, 30 and 65 kDa were used as model organic solutes for fractionation over ultrafiltration (UF) membranes of MWCO 1-30 kDa. Maximum fractionation of PSS was achieved by using a tight membrane of 1 kDa MWCO at the conditions of high permeate flow rate (1.5-2.0 mL·min-1), low concentrate flow rate (0.2-0.3 mL·min-1) and low ionic strength (10 mM). The better fractionation corresponds to high permeate drag force and low concentrate drag force. A low membrane-solute DLVO interaction is favourable for the retention of a small solute. This study illustrated that FFFF characteristics can be analyzed based on membrane-solute interactive forces controlled by selected flow, size and charge parameters.

Abstract
In this work, the removal of NOM (natural organic matter) as represented by humic acid by means of electrospun nanofiber adsorptive membranes (ENAMs) is described. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) was used for the preparation of ENAMs incorporating silica nanoparticles as adsorbents. The addition of silica to the polymer left visible changes on the structural morphology and fibers' properties of the membrane. The membrane samples were characterized by pure water permeability, contact angle measurement, SEM, XPS, and XRD. This study assesses the preliminary performance of PAN-Si membranes for the removal of natural organic matter (NOM). The membrane rejected the humic acid, a surrogate of NOM, from 69.57% to 87.5%.

Abstract
Organ-on-a-chip (OOC) systems are engineered nanobiosystems to mimic the physiochemical environment of a specific organ in the body. Among various components of OOC systems, biomimetic membranes have been regarded as one of the most important key components to develop controllable biomimetic bioanalysis systems. Here, we review the preparation and characterization of biomimetic membranes in comparison with the features of the extracellular matrix. After that, we review and discuss the latest applications of engineered biomimetic membranes to fabricate various organs on a chip, such as liver, kidney, intestine, lung, skin, heart, vasculature and blood vessels, brain, and multiorgans with perspectives for further biomedical applications.

Abstract
In this study, Ag and Pd bimetallic nanoparticles were generated in situ in polyethersulfone (PES) dope solutions, and membranes were fabricated through a phase inversion method. The membranes were characterized for various physical and chemical properties using techniques such as FTIR, SEM, AFM, TEM, EDS, and contact angle measurements. The membranes were then evaluated for their efficiency in rejecting EOCs and resistance to protein fouling. TEM micrographs showed uniform distribution of Ag/Pd nanoparticles within the PES matrix, while SEM images showed uniform, fingerlike structures that were not affected by the presence of embedded nanoparticles. The presence of Ag/Pd nanoparticles resulted in rougher membranes. There was an increase in membrane hydrophilicity with increasing nanoparticles loading, which resulted in improved pure water permeability (37−135 Lm2h−1bar−1). The membranes exhibited poor salt rejection (<15%), making them less susceptible to flux decline due to concentration polarization. With a mean pore radius of 2.39−4.70 nm, the membranes effectively removed carbamazepine, caffeine, sulfamethoxazole, ibuprofen, and naproxen (up to 40%), with size exclusion being the major removal mechanism. Modifying the membranes with Ag/Pd nanoparticles improved their antifouling properties, making them a promising innovation for the treatment of pharmaceutical wastewater.

Abstract
In recent years, bimetallic oxide nanoparticles have garnered significant attention owing to their salient advantages over monometallic nanoparticles. In this study, Fe2O3-Mn2O3 nanoparticles were synthesized and used as nanomodifiers for polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration membranes. A NIPS was used to fabricate asymmetric membranes. The effect of nanoparticle concentration (0-1 wt.%) on the morphology, roughness, wettability, porosity, permeability, and protein filtration performance of the membranes was investigated. The membrane containing 0.25 wt% nanoparticles exhibited the lowest water contact angle (67°) and surface roughness (10.4 ± 2.8 nm) compared to the other membranes. Moreover, this membrane exhibited the highest porosity (74%) and the highest pure water flux (398 L/m2 h), which was 16% and 1.9 times higher than that of the pristine PES membrane. The modified PES membranes showed an improved antifouling ability, especially against irreversible fouling. Bovine serum albumin protein-based dynamic five-cycle filtration tests showed a maximum flux recovery ratio of 77% (cycle-1), 67% (cycle-2), and 65.8% (cycle-5) for the PES membrane containing 0.25 wt% nanoparticles. Overall, the biphasic Fe2O3-Mn2O3 nanoparticles were found to be an effective nanomodifier for improving the permeability and antifouling ability of PES membranes in protein separation and water treatment applications.

Abstract
In this study, an economic silica based ceramic hollow fiber (HF) microporous membrane was fabricated from guinea cornhusk ash (GCHA). A silica interlayer was coated to form a defect free silica membrane which serves as a support for the formation of thin film composite (TFC) ceramic hollow fiber (HF) membrane for the removal of microplastics (MPs) from aqueous solutions. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polyvinyl-chloride (PVC), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) are the selected MPs The effects of amine monomer concentration (0.5 wt% and 1 wt%) on the formation of poly (piperazine-amide) layer via interfacial polymerization over the GCHA ceramic support were also investigated. The morphology analysis of TFC GCHA HF membranes revealed the formation of a poly (piperazine-amide) layer with narrow pore arrangement. The pore size of TFC GCHA membrane declined with the formation of poly (piperazine-amide) layer, as evidenced from porosimetry analysis. The increase of amine concentration reduced the porosity and water flux of TFC GCHA HF membranes. During MPs filtration, 1 wt% (piperazine) based TFC GCHA membrane showed a lower transmission percentage of PVP (2.7%) and other suspended MPs also displayed lower transmission. The impact of humic acid and sodium alginate on MPs filtration and seawater pretreatment were also analyzed.

Abstract
The valorization of agro-industrial residues using yeasts as biocatalysts requires efficient methods for biomass separation. Filtration with ceramic membranes is suitable for this task, however, the challenge of flux decline and the unavoidable cleaning must be taken into account. We investigated the filtration of fermentation broth and its components using tubular microfiltration and ultrafiltration membranes, and hollow-fiber ultrafiltration membranes, with cut-offs of 30 and 200 nm. The steady-state flux was limited by fouling under comparable wall shear stress conditions but increased when the wall shear stress was higher. Single-component filtration with two 30 nm tubular ultrafiltration membranes, whose average surface roughness ranged from 1.0 to 3.9 µm, showed that smoother surfaces experience less biomass fouling under more intense hydrodynamic conditions. Furthermore, we showed experimentally and by scanning electron microscopy in filtration with 30 nm tubular membranes that the thickness of the first separation layer is responsible for the degree of irreversible resistance caused by the deposition of organic material in the membrane pores. The thickness of this layer should therefore be minimized without compromising mechanical stability.

Abstract
Long-term accurate and continuous monitoring of nitrate (NO3-) concentration in wastewater and groundwater is critical for determining treatment efficiency and tracking contaminant transport. Current nitrate monitoring technologies, including colorimetric, chromatographic, biometric, and electrochemical sensors, are not feasible for continuous monitoring. This study addressed this challenge by modifying NO3- solid-state ion-selective electrodes (S-ISEs) with poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE, (C2F4)n). The PTFE-loaded S-ISE membrane polymer matrix reduces water layer formation between the membrane and electrode/solid contact, while paradoxically, the even more hydrophobic PTFE-loaded S-ISE membrane prevents bacterial attachment despite the opposite approach of hydrophilic modifications in other antifouling sensor designs. Specifically, an optimal ratio of 5% PTFE in the S-ISE polymer matrix was determined by a series of characterization tests in real wastewater. Five percent of PTFE alleviated biofouling to the sensor surface by enhancing the negative charge (-4.5 to -45.8 mV) and lowering surface roughness (Ra: 0.56 ± 0.02 nm). It simultaneously mitigated water layer formation between the membrane and electrode by increasing hydrophobicity (contact angle: 104°) and membrane adhesion and thus minimized the reading (mV) drift in the baseline sensitivity ("data drifting"). Long-term accuracy and durability of 5% PTFE-loaded NO3- S-ISEs were well demonstrated in real wastewater over 20 days, an improvement over commercial sensor longevity.

Abstract
Polymer nanofiber composites with superhydrophobicity are promising for the chemical vapor sensing or oil/water separation, but it remains challenging to develop superhydrophobic, anticorrosive, and durable nanofiber composites that can achieve both the organic solvent vapor detection and oil (organic solvent)/water separation with high separation flux and excellent recyclability. Here, a flexible, stretchable, and superhydrophobic/superoleophilic nanofiber composite membrane with excellent photothermal conversion performance is fabricated by decorating carbon nanofibers (CNFs) with a hollow structure onto the polyurethane nanofibers and subsequent polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) modification. The combination of CNFs and PDMS greatly improves the membrane's tensile strength and Young's modulus without sacrificing its stretchability. The dual polymer nanofiber and CNF network are beneficial to the chemical vapor or liquid diffusion into the membrane and thus can be used for high-performance chemical vapor sensing and oil/water separation. The nanofiber composite is responsive to different organic vapors with a low detection limit and good selectivity. Also, the material can achieve fast oil/water separation with the oil (dichloromethane) permeate flux as high as 6577.3 L m-2 h-1. In addition, the separation flux and efficiency remain stable during the 30 separated oil/water separation tests, exhibiting excellent recyclability.

Abstract
Surface interactions between emulsion drops and substrate surfaces play an important role in many phenomena in industrial processes, such as fouling issues in oil production. Investigating the interaction forces between the water-in-oil emulsion drops with interfacially adsorbed asphaltenes and various substrates is of fundamental and practical importance in understanding the fouling mechanisms and developing efficient antifouling strategies. In this work, the surface interactions between water drops with asphaltenes and Fe substrates with or without an electroless nickel-phosphorus (EN) coating in organic media have been directly quantified using the atomic force microscope drop probe technique. The effects of asphaltene concentration, organic solvent type, aging time, contact time, and loading force were investigated. The results demonstrated that the adhesion between water drops and the substrates was enhanced with higher asphaltene concentration, better organic solvent to asphaltenes, longer aging time, longer contact time, and stronger loading force, which was due to the growing amount and conformational change of asphaltenes adsorbed at the water/oil interface. Meanwhile, the adhesion between the water drop and the EN substrate was much weaker than that with the Fe substrate. The bulk fouling tests also showed that EN coating had a very good antifouling performance, which was in consistence with the force measurement results. Our work sheds light on the fundamental understanding of emulsion-related fouling mechanisms in the oil industry and provides useful information for developing new coatings with antifouling performances.

Abstract
While surface morphology is the key parameter affecting membrane performance, its exact roles on membrane fouling have not well unveiled. In this study, effects of membrane surface roughness on fouling caused by alginate adhesion were investigated by thermodynamic techniques of the extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (XDLVO) approach and density functional theory (DFT). The energy of a single typical alginate chain adhering to rough membrane surface was figured out to be 0.5-3.0 kJ/mol for the first time. Whereas, the related bending energy at typical bending angle was calculated to be over 13.0 kJ/mol based on DFT calculations. The big energy gap suggested that the alginate chain in solution would not change its configuration to fit membrane surface morphology, and tended to directly adhere to membrane surface. The thermodynamic analyses predicted that the direct adhesion pathway was favorable in energy when an alginate chain approaching to rough membrane surface. As a result, as compared to the smooth membrane, rough membrane corresponds to less alginate adhesion and adhesive fouling. Combination of XDLVO and DFT techniques provided not only molecular insights into membrane fouling, but also a new way for fouling research.

Abstract
The scope of the review is to discuss the current state of knowledge and lessons learned on biofouling of membrane separators being used for microbial electrochemical technologies (MET). It is illustrated what crucial membrane features have to be considered and how these affect the MET performance, paying particular attention to membrane biofouling. The complexity of the phenomena was demonstrated and thereby, it is shown that membrane qualities related to its surface and inherent material features significantly influence (and can be influenced by) the biofouling process. Applicable methods for assessment of membrane biofouling are highlighted, followed by the detailed literature evaluation. Finally, an outlook on e.g. possible mitigation strategies for membrane biofouling in MET is provided.

Abstract
In this study, we successfully prepared nine non-woven, supported polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes, using a phase inversion precipitation method, starting from a 15 wt % PVDF solution in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. Various membrane morphologies were obtained by using (1) PVDF polymers, with diverse molecular weights ranging from 300 to 700 kDa, and (2) different temperature coagulation baths (20, 40, and 60 ± 2 °C) used for the film precipitation. An environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) was used for surface and cross-section morphology characterization. An atomic force microscope (AFM) was employed to investigate surface roughness, while a contact angle (CA) instrument was used for membrane hydrophobicity studies. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results show that the fabricated membranes are formed by a mixture of TGTG' chains, in α phase crystalline domains, and all-TTTT trans planar zigzag chains characteristic to β phase. Moreover, generated results indicate that the phases' content and membrane morphologies depend on the polymer molecular weight and conditions used for the membranes' preparation. The diversity of fabricated membranes could be applied by the End User Industries for different applications.

Abstract
Fouling behaviours and antifouling properties of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) ultrafiltration membranes blending with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) had been investigated using the secondary effluent as the filtration medium. The results demonstrated that the antifouling properties of membranes using PVA and PVP as the additives were generally stronger than those using PMMA. Additives PVA and PVP could effectively improve the structural property and hydrophilicity of the membrane and result in an outstanding antifouling property. A dense membrane surface could prevent low molecular foulants from entering into the membrane pores, depositing on the membrane with a loose spongy layer and penetrating into the internal macropore structure. The not fully generated internal macropores on the membrane surface were trend to be plugged, which resulted in serious flux decay and the membrane fouling was irreversible. Filtration cake formed on the membrane due to concentration polarization, which caused membrane flux decline and high flux recovery after cleaning.
