Maleki A, Bozorg A. From environmental issue to purification aid: Novel positively charged functionalized algal biochar as robust modifier of composite nanofiltration membranes. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 353:141651. [PMID: 38460849 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141651] [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: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/11/2024]
Abstract
Robust membrane modifiers were achieved for the first time by functionalizing the algal biochar of unique porous structure. The biochar was prepared through the pyrolysis of Cladophora glomerata, the most widespread freshwater macroalga, functionalized by diethylenetriamine and dendrimer poly(amidoamine), and employed to fabricate positively charged composite nanofiltration membranes. The presence of hydrophilic functionalizers of positive charge on the membrane was verified through Fourier transform infrared and energy dispersive X-ray analyses and atomic force microscopy and zeta potential measurements were performed to determine surface roughness and confirm positive charge of the modified membranes. Dispersion of modifiers on the surface and morphology of the were also revealed through field-emission scanning electron microscopy images. It has shown that, compared to the pristine membrane, pure water fluxes were increased by 214% and 185%, and water contact angles were reduced from 66.1° to 39.5° and 43.3° in those modified by biochar functionalized with dendrimer poly(amidoamine) and diethylenetriamine, respectively. More than 90% dye rejections and salt and heavy metals removals were recorded for the membranes possessed 0.6 wt% of modifiers. Finally, a comparative study conducted between the novel modifier introduced in this study and those reported in the literature, indicated that C. glomerata biochar decorated with amine functional groups could be considered as a robust and practical alternative to the common modifiers used to manipulate nanocomposite membranes characteristics.

[PMID: 33142710 PMCID: PMC7693441 DOI: 10.3390/membranes10110323] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2020] [Revised: 10/22/2020] [Accepted: 10/27/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The zwitterion poly-(maleic anhydride-alt-1-octadecene-3-(dimethylamino)-1-propylamine) (p(MAO-DMPA)) synthesized using a ring-opening reaction was used as a poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membrane modifier/additive during phase inversion process. The zwitterion was characterized using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR) and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). Atomic force microscopy (AFM), field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM), FTIR, and contact angle measurements were taken for the membranes. The effect of the zwitterionization content on membrane performance indicators such as pure water flux, membrane fouling, and dye rejection was investigated. The morphology of the membranes showed that the increase in the zwitterion amount led to a general decrease in pore size with a concomitant increase in the number of membrane surface pores. The surface roughness was not particularly affected by the amount of the additive; however, the internal structure was greatly influenced, leading to varying rejection mechanisms for the larger dye molecule. On the other hand, the wettability of the membranes initially decreased with increasing content to a certain point and then increased as the membrane homogeneity changed at higher zwitterion percentages. Flux and fouling properties were enhanced through the addition of zwitterion compared to the pristine PVDF membrane. The high (>90%) rejection of anionic dye, Congo red, indicated that these membranes behaved as ultrafiltration (UF). In comparison, the cationic dye, rhodamine 6G, was only rejected to <70%, with rejection being predominantly electrostatic-based. This work shows that zwitterion addition imparted good membrane performance to PVDF membranes up to an optimum content whereby membrane homogeneity was compromised, leading to poor performance at its higher loading.

Abstract
Nanofiltration plays an increasingly large role in many industrial applications, such as water treatment (e.g., desalination, water softening, and fluoride removal) and resource recovery (e.g., alkaline earth metals). Energy consumption and benefits of nanofiltration processes are directly determined by the selectivity of the nanofiltration membranes, which is largely governed by pore-size distribution and Donnan effects. During operation, the separation performance of unmodified nanofiltration membranes will also be impacted (deleteriously) upon unavoidable membrane fouling. Many efforts, therefore, have been directed toward enhancing the selectivity of nanofiltration membranes, which can be classified into membrane fabrication method improvement and process intensification. This review summarizes recent developments in the field and provides guidance for potential future approaches to improve the selectivity of nanofiltration membranes.

Abstract
The thin-film composite (TFC) nanofiltration (NF) membrane is a very important method in solving the water crisis. However, the fabrication and industrialization of high-performance NF membranes still remains challenging. In this work, zwitterionic NF membranes via microwave-assisted grafting of betaine was first proposed. The resulting polyamide layer showed leaflike nanostructures after modification. Because of the enlarged permeation area and enhanced hydrophilicity derived from the unique leaflike structure, the optimal membrane permeability reached 40.8 L m-1 h-1 bar-1. This water permeance was 2.2 times as high as the original polypiperazine-amide membrane, with a Na2SO4 rejection maintained at 97.0%. More importantly, the membrane demonstrated excellent selectivity to monovalent and divalent anions. This zwitterionic membrane fabricated by microwave-assisted grafting of betaine provides new insight for industrial scalable NF membranes with great potentials.

Abstract
As a sustainable, cost-effective and energy-efficient method, membranes are becoming a progressively vital technique to solve the problem of the scarcity of freshwater resources. With these critical advantages, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have great potential for membrane desalination given their high aspect ratio, large surface area, high mechanical strength and chemical robustness. In recent years, the CNT membrane field has progressed enormously with applications in water desalination. The latest theoretical and experimental developments on the desalination of CNT membranes, including vertically aligned CNT (VACNT) membranes, composited CNT membranes, and their applications are timely and comprehensively reviewed in this manuscript. The mechanisms and effects of CNT membranes used in water desalination where they offer the advantages are also examined. Finally, a summary and outlook are further put forward on the scientific opportunities and major technological challenges in this field.

Abstract
A thermal-sensitive "jelly" was used to control the diffusion of a diamine monomer for synthesizing polyamide free-standing nanofilms with an adjustable thickness of 5-35 nm. The reduced reaction rate of the interfacial polymerization at the hexane-"jelly" interface made the synthesized nanofilms show high water permeation flux and suitable salt rejection, and they also have highly negative surface charges and fairly smooth surfaces.

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.
