J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 662:707-718. [PMID: 38368828 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.02.077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 01/21/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 02/20/2024]
Abstract
The traditional polyamide composite nanofiltration membranes have high selectivity and low water permeance, so it is necessary to find strategies to raise the permeance. Herein, a novel polyamide nanofiltration membranes with high permeance were fabricated by coating a loose hydrophilic network-like interlayer, where tannic acid (TA) with pentapophenol arm structure binds to poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) polymer through hydrogen and ionic interactions. The effects of the network-like TA/PSS interlayer on surface morphology, surface hydrophobicity, and the interfacial polymerization mechanism were investigated. The outcomes demonstrated that the TA/PSS interlayer can offer a favorable environment for interfacial polymerization, enhance the hydrophilicity of the substrate membrane, and delay the release of piperazine (PIP). The optimized TFC-2 presents pure water flux of 22.7 ± 2.8 L m-2 h-1 bar-1, Na2SO4 rejection of 97.1 ± 0.5 %, and PA layer thickness of about 38.9 ± 2.5 nm. This provides new strategies for seeking to prepare simple interlayers to obtain high-performance nanofiltration membranes.

Polyphenol-mediated defect patching of graphene oxide membranes for sulfonamide contaminants removal and fouling control. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 469:133890. [PMID: 38422736 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133890] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO)-based laminar membranes are promising candidates for next-generation nanofiltration membranes because of their theoretically frictionless nanochannels. However, nonuniform stacking during the filtration process and the inherent swelling of GO nanosheets generate horizontal and vertical defects, leading to a low selectivity and susceptibility to pore blockage. Herein, both types of defects are simultaneously patching by utilizing tannic acid and FeⅢ. Tannic acid first partially reduced the upper GO framework, and then coordinated with FeⅢ to form a metal-polyphenol network covering horizontal defects. Due to the enhanced steric hindrance, the resulting membrane exhibited a two-fold increase in sulfonamide contaminants exclusion compared to the pristine GO membrane. A non-significant reduction in permeance was observed. In terms of fouling control, shielding defects significantly alleviated the irreversible pore blockage of the membrane. Additionally, the hydrophilic metal-polyphenol network weakened the adhesion force between the membrane and foulants, thereby improving the reversibility of fouling in the cleaning stage. This work opens up a new way to develop GO-based membranes with enhanced separation performance and antifouling ability.

Abstract
Nanofiltration membranes have increasingly played a vital role in the purification of surface water and the recycling of wastewater. However, the problem of membrane biofouling, which leads to shortened service life and increased energy consumption, has hindered the widespread application of nanofiltration membranes. In this study, we developed functionalized nanofiltration membranes with anti-adhesive and anti-biofouling properties by coordinating FeIII and juglone onto commercial nanofiltration membranes in a facile and viable manner. Due to the hydrophilic nature of the FeⅢ-juglone coating as well as its ultra-thin thickness and minimal impact on the membrane pores, the permeance of the optimally modified membrane even increased slightly (14 %). The outstanding anti-adhesive property of the FeⅢ-juglone coating was demonstrated by a significant reduction in the adsorption of proteins and bacteria. Furthermore, the modified membranes exhibited lower flux decline amplitude and reduced biofilm deposition during dynamic fouling experiment, further supporting the outstanding anti-biofouling performance of the nanofiltration membrane after the modification with FeⅢ-juglone coating. This study presents a novel and feasible approach for simultaneously improving the water permeance, anti-adhesive property and anti-biofouling property of commercial nanofiltration membranes.

Efficient capture of endocrine-disrupting compounds by a high-performance nanofiltration membrane for wastewater treatment. WATER RESEARCH 2022; 227:119322. [PMID: 36371916 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2022.119322] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Revised: 10/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/03/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Conventional polyamide (PA) nanofiltration (NF) membranes can readily adsorb aromatic compounds, such as endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs). Therefore, these substances can easily be transported across the membrane by solution-diffusion, resulting in a poor EDC-rejection. In this work, a novel thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane was fabricated by incorporating covalent organic frameworks (COFs) into the PA layer via an interfacial polymerization reaction. COFs with functional groups can provide abundant active binding sites for highly efficient EDC-capture. The rejection of the optimal TFN-COF membrane for bisphenol A, bisphenol AF, and sodium 2-biphenylate was 98.3%, 99.1%, and 99.3%, respectively, which was much higher than of the rejection of the pristine NF-membrane (82.4%, 95.5%, and 96.4%, respectively). Additionally, the TFN-COF membrane could be regenerated fast and efficiently by washing with ethanol for some minutes. COF nanofillers with porous structures provide additional water channels, making it possible to overcome the permeability-selectivity trade-off of NF membranes. The water permeance (17.1 L m-2 h-1 bar-1) of the optimal membrane was about two times higher than for the pristine NF-membrane (8.7 L m-2 h-1 bar-1). In addition, the TFN-COF membrane with a COF-loading of 0.05% w/v had an excellent Na2SO4 rejection (95.2%) due to size exclusion and strong Donnan effect. This work combines traditional NF membranes and adsorption materials to achieve efficient capture and rapid release of EDCs without sacrificing salt rejections, which opens the door to develop fit-for-purpose adsorptive NF membranes.
