Abstract
This study investigates the impact of solvent post-treatment on polyamide-based thin film composite (TFC) membranes, specifically examining the effect on commercial nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. Na2SO4 rejection and increase in pure water permeance (PWP) were considered as the output parameters. The disparity in Hansen solubility parameters (HSP) between the post-treatment solution and the polyamide layer of the TFC membrane, denoted by Ra, is well adapted to understand the enhancement in water permeance through the membranes upon treatment. Aqueous solutions of dimethylformamide with a Ra value of 4, acetonitrile with a Ra value of 8.3, and ethanol with a Ra value of 12.7 were used as the post-treatment solutions. Our experimental design, based on the Box-Behnken design of Response Surface Methodology, incorporates variables such as the concentration of the solvent in the solution (% v/v), Ra value, and treatment time (s). Our findings demonstrate that the effect of post-treatment on the TFC membranes is not governed by the Ra value. Notably, while the post-treatment with the aqueous solution of acetonitrile, 80% v/v for 30 s, had considerable effects on NF membranes (124.5% enhancement in PWP; reduction of 3.5% in Na2SO4 rejection), its impact on RO membranes was negligible. Several factors explain this discrepancy, including the limitations of the HSP model for composite polymers, the inaccuracy of the PWP or salt rejection as a swelling indicator, variations in the HSP values of the polyamide layers for different membranes, and possible modifications in the interface between the support membrane and the polyamide layer. In summary, our study provides insights into the complex interactions between solvents and composite membranes, indicating that HSP alone is not a decisive factor in predicting post-treatment effects on polyamide-based TFC membranes.

[PMID: 38288011 PMCID: PMC10823098 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24330] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 12/02/2023] [Accepted: 01/07/2024] [Indexed: 01/31/2024] Open
Abstract
In the past few decades, organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) has attracted numerous researchers and broadly applied in various fields. Unlike conventional nanofiltration, OSN always faced a broad spectrum of solvents including polar solvents and non-polar solvents. Among those recently developed OSN membranes in lab-scale or widely used commercial membranes, researchers preferred to explore intrinsic materials or introduce nanomaterials into membranes to fabricate OSN membranes. However, the hydrophilicity of the membrane surface towards filtration performance was often ignored, which was the key factor in conventional aqueous nanofiltration. The influence of surface hydrophilicity on OSN performance was not studied systematically and thoroughly. Generally speaking, the hydrophilic OSN membranes performed well in the polar solvents while the hydrophobic OSN membranes work well in the non-polar solvent. Many review papers reviewed the basics, problems of the membranes, up-to-date studies, and applications at various levels. In this review, we have focused on the relationship between the surface hydrophilicity of OSN membranes and OSN performances. The history, theory, and mechanism of the OSN process were first recapped, followed by summarizing representative OSN research classified by surface hydrophilicity and types of membrane, which recent OSN research with its contact angles and filtration performance were listed. Finally, from the industrialization perspective, the application progress of hydrophilic and hydrophobic OSN membranes was introduced. We started with history and theory, presented many research and application cases of hydrophilic and hydrophobic OSN membranes, and discussed anticipated progress in the OSN field. Also, we pointed out some future research directions on the hydrophilicity of OSN membranes to deeply develop the effect made by membrane hydrophilicity on OSN performance for future considerations and stepping forward of the OSN industry.

Abstract
Titania photocatalysts have great potential as remediators of air pollution. Although various aspects of photocatalyst synthesis, adsorption and photoactivity have been investigated, a thorough understanding of the particle surface behavior has not yet been fully realized. In order to learn more about the principles behind the surface behavior, we investigate the Hansen solubility/similarity parameters (HSPs) for analyzing and evaluating three photocatalysts synthesized by the gas phase method, solvothermal reaction and sol-gel method, respectively. A particle size distribution-based categorization scheme is introduced for characterizing each material's Hansen parameters based on its interaction with a list of selected probe liquids. The latter was deduced from particle size distributions assessed by analytical centrifugation. Subsequent comparison of the Hansen parameters of the investigated materials shows how HSPs can potentially be used as a model for predicting the pollutant adsorption behavior on the photocatalyst surface. This serves as a first step in heading towards an improved understanding of the particle behavior and translating it into a knowledge-based design, i.e., synthesis and hybridization of novel photocatalysts.

Abstract
P-nitrophenol (PNP), a refractory hazardous substance, has not been efficiently utilized so far. In this paper, PNP is used as a membrane modification material for preparing poly(amide-co-ester) composite nanofiltration membrane. An organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) membrane was prepared via interfacial polymerization reactionby using PNP and trimethyl chloride (TMC) on a ethylenediamine (EDA) crosslinked polyetherimide substrate. The results of ATR-FTIR and XPS show that interfacial polymerization occurs among with PNP and TMC and the terminal amine groups on the ethylenediamine crosslinked -PEI support forming a poly(amide-co-ester) toplayer. The NF-1PNP membrane maintained stable DMF performance permeance of 2.2 L m−2 h−1 bar−1 and rejection of 98% for Rose Bengal red (RB 1017.64 g mol−1) in 36 h continuous separation process. Furthermore, the average pore diameter of the two membranes including NF-1PNP and NF-1.25PNP, which is 0.40 and 0.36nm, respectively. This study not only provides a good way for the preparation of OSN membrane, but also provides a good demonstration for the comprehensive utilization of PNP and other toxic and harmful pollutants.

Abstract
Organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) has been recognized as an eco-friendly separation system owing to its excellent cost and energy saving efficiency, easy scale-up in the narrow area and mild operation conditions. Membrane properties are the key part in terms of determining the separation efficiency in the OSN system. In this review paper, the recently reported OSN thin-film composite (TFC) membranes were investigated to understand insight of membrane materials and performance. Especially, we highlighted the representative study concepts and materials of the selective layer of OSN TFC membranes for non-polar solvents. The proper choice of monomers and additives for the selective layer forms much more interconnected voids and the enhanced microporosity, which can improve membrane performance of the OSN TFC membrane with reducing the transport resistance. Therefore, this review paper could be an important bridge to connect with the next-generation OSN TFC membranes for non-polar solvents.
