Energy-efficient trehalose-based polyester nanofiltration membranes for zero-discharge textile wastewater treatment. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133059. [PMID: 38000287 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.133059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023]
Abstract
Recovery of water, salts, and hazardous dye from complex saline textile wastewater faces obstacles in separating dissolved ionic substances and recovering organic components during desalination. This study realized the simultaneous fractionation, desalination, and dye removal/recovery treatment of textile wastewater by using trehalose (Tre) as an aqueous monomer to prepare polyester loose nanofiltration (LNF) membrane with fine control microstructure via interfacial polymerization. Outperforming the NF270 commercial membrane, the Tre-1.05/TMC optimized membrane achieves zero-discharge textile wastewater treatment, cutting energy consumption by 295% and reducing water consumption by 42.8%. This efficiency surge results from remarkable water permeability (130.83 L m-2 h-1 bar-1) and impressive dye desalination (NaCl/ Direct Red 23 separation factor of 275) of the Tre-1.05/TMC membrane. For a deeper comprehension of filtration performance, the sieving mechanism of polyester LNF membranes was systematically elucidated. This strategic approach offers significant prospects for energy conservation, carbon emission mitigation, and enhanced feasibility of membrane-based wastewater treatment systems.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 908:168277. [PMID: 37939956 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.168277] [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: 08/31/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023]
Abstract
In this review, the application of membrane-based technology in water social circulation was summarized. Water social circulation encompassed the entire process from the acquirement to discharge of water from natural environment for human living and development. The focus of this review was primarily on the membrane-based technology in recovery of water and other valuable resources such as mineral ions, nitrogen and phosphorus. The main text was divided into four main sections according to water flow in the social circulation: drinking water treatment, agricultural utilization, industrial waste recycling, and urban wastewater reuse. In drinking water treatment, the acquirement of water resources was of the most importance. Pressure-driven membranes, such as ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) were considered suitable in natural surface water treatment. Additionally, electrodialysis (ED) and membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) were also effective in brackish water desalination. Agriculture required abundant water with relative low quality for irrigation. Therefore, the recovery of water from other stages of the social circulation has become a reasonable solution. Membrane bioreactor (MBR) was a typical technique attributed to low-toxicity effluent. In industrial waste reuse, the osmosis membranes (FO and PRO) were utilized due to the complex physical and chemical properties of industrial wastewater. Especially, membrane distillation (MD) might be promising when the wastewater was preheated. Resources recovery in urban wastewater was mainly divided into recovery of bioenergy (via anaerobic membrane bioreactors, AnMBR), nitrogen (utilizing MD and gas-permeable membrane), and phosphorus (through MBR with chemical precipitation). Furthermore, hybrid/integrated systems with membranes as the core component enhanced their performance and long-term working ability in utilization. Generally, concentrate management and energy consumption control might be the key areas for future advancements of membrane-based technology.

Abstract
Hydroxyl radical production via catalytic activation of HOCl is a new type of Fenton-like process. However, metal-chlorocomplex formation under high chloride conditions could deactivate the catalyst and reduce the process efficiency. Herein, in situ electrogenerated HOCl was activated to •OH via a metal-free, B/N-codoped carbon nanofiber cathode for the first time to degrade contaminant under high chloride condition. The results show 98% degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) within 120 min (k = 0.036 min-1) under sulfate conditions, while complete degradation (k = 0.188 min-1) was obtained in only 30 min under chloride conditions. An enhanced degradation mechanism consists of an Adsorb & Shuttle process, wherein adsorption concentrates the pollutants at the cathode surface and they are subsequently oxidized by the large amount of •OH produced via activation of HOCl and H2O2 at the cathode. Density functional theory calculations verify the pyridinic N as the active site for the activation of HOCl and H2O2. The process efficiency was also evaluated by treating tetracycline and bisphenol A as well as high chloride-containing real secondary effluents from a pesticide manufacturing plant. High yields of •OH and HOCl allow continuous regeneration of the cathode for several cycles, limiting its fast deactivation, which is promising for real application.

Organic solvent-free constructing of stable zeolitic imidazolate framework functional layer enhanced by halloysite nanotubes and polyvinyl alcohol on polyvinylidene fluoride hollow fiber membranes for treating dyeing wastewater. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 636:378-387.

Abstract
In this study, zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8)/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) loose nanofiltration (NF) hollow fiber membranes were fabricated by constructing ZIF-8 functional layer on the PVDF supporting membranes based on the vacuum-assisted assembly process. The ZIF-8 synthesis was completed in a water system, and the synthesized ZIF-8 suspension was directly added to polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) aqueous solution system without drying to prepare the casting solution, which could solve the agglomeration and poor dispersion problem of ZIF-8 particles. In addition, the embedded HNTs and the loaded PVA among the ZIF-8 layer could improve the bonding strength between the ZIF-8 layer and the supporting membranes. After constructing ZIF-8 functional layer, the pore size of supporting membranes decreased from more than 300 nm to several nanometers. Furthermore, the water contact angle reduced from 91.1° to 54.2°. Applied to treat dye wastewater, the prepared ZIF-8/PVDF membranes maintained high dye rejection (˃99.0 %) for Congo red (CR), but low salt rejection for NaCl (about 2 %). In addition, the flux could reach 21.6 L m-2h-1 after continuous filtration 360 min, exhibiting a potential for treating the dye/salt wastewater. In particular, there were no organic solvents used in the work, which provided a promising idea for solvent-free fabrication of loose NF membranes.

Abstract
Facile techniques to fabricate the nanofiltration membranes with ideal molecular sieving is one of the most interesting subjects in membrane separation technology. In this study, the application of modified graphene oxide (GO) with triethylenetetramine (TETA), CuFe2 O4 , and acetic acid (AC) (supported GO-TETA-CuFe2 O4 @AC) as a supported protic ionic liquid (PIL) modifier for polyethersulfone (PES) membrane was evaluated to approve the improvement of anti-fouling properties and wastewater rejection of the fabricated membranes. To enhance the key properties of graphene oxide, it was modified by hydrophilic nanomaterials (TETA-CuFe2 O4 ). High flux and promising flux recovery ratio (up to 95% compared to the unmodified membrane) can be observed in the modified membranes. The modified membranes by GO-TETA-CuFe2 O4 @AC were studied at optimum concentrations (0.5 wt.%) for salt rejection and different dyes. The obtained data indicated that the modified membranes by GO-TETA-CuFe2 O4 @AC indicated higher salt removal (up to 97% for BaCl2 than the unmodified membrane), which was related to the efficient modification. The obtained pure water flux (PWF) for bare and optimal modified membrane from 13.11 to 27.87 kg/m2 ·h, respectively. To exact evaluate the effect of membrane modification on performance examination, the modified membranes were evaluated for chlorine resistance testing. This study aimed to develop cost-effective nanofiltration (NF) membranes with high anti-fouling properties and to determine the maximum filtration capacity of in-time dyes and salts in effluents. PRACTITIONER POINTS: A GO-TETA-CuFe2O4 mixed matrix membrane was prepared for removal of salts and dyes. The effect of GO-TETA-CuFe2O4 enhanced the hydrophilicity and porosity. The membrane exhibited superior antifouling properties and ions rejection.

Abstract
Effective recovery of dyes and salts from textile wastewater by nanofiltration (NF) remains a serious challenge due to the high consumption of water and energy caused by the limited performance of the available membranes. Herein, a novel strategy is described to prepare loose polyester NF membranes by using renewable quercetin as the aqueous monomer for fractionation of high salinity textile wastewater with minimal water and energy consumption. Compared with NF270, taken as the reference membrane, the QE-0.2/TMC-0.2 membrane significantly improved the efficiency for dye/salt fractionation by 288%. The water consumption was also decreased by 42.9%. The efficiency is attributed to an ultrahigh water permeance of 198 ± 2.1 L-1 m-2 h-1 bar-1 with a high selectivity of 123 (extremely low NaCl rejection of 1.6% and high Congo red rejection of 99.2%). The optimal quercetin-based membrane had an ultrathin separation layer of about 39 ± 1.2 nm with good hydrophilicity and negative charge density. Moreover, this work includes a novel method of comparison with a theoretically ideal membrane, which shows that both the energy and water consumption are near their theoretical minimum. This strategy is expected to save energy and minimize carbon emissions for membrane-based wastewater treatment systems.

Abstract
Expansion of the aquaculture industry has been accompanied by environmental impact as the discharged effluent contains excess nutrients such as phosphorus compounds. Recovery of such nutrients is not economically feasible as it presents in trace amounts. Furthermore, brackish aquaculture effluent which contains high sodium chloride (NaCl) content makes the treated solution inappropriate for fertilizer production. Herein, this study proposed a diafiltration-nanofiltration route to perform a simultaneous phosphate concentrating and osmotion (sodium) removal from brackish aquaculture effluent. Effects of operating pressure, phosphate, and sodium content on membrane performance were first determined using Desal-5 DK membrane with three types of solutions namely (i) freshwater without NaCl, (ii) dilute brackish water with 1,500 mg/L NaCl, and (iii) brackish water with 10,000 mg/L NaCl. It was found that at 4 bar operating pressure, it could achieve higher phosphate rejection and sodium permeance. The presence of NaCl negatively influenced both phosphate rejection and concentrating factor (CF) due to the salt screening effect. It was noteworthy that negative sodium rejection (up to -16%, CF <1) could be attained, indicating the concentrating effect for sodium was negligible. The concentrating process was effective to concentrate phosphate by 2-fold but less effective in removing sodium. Diafiltration was then introduced and resulted in about 76% of sodium removal. Diafiltration-nanofiltration (DF-NF) mode was shown to be a more efficient method than nanofiltration-diafiltration (NF-DF) mode as phosphate could be concentrated up to 2 factors with 99 wt% of sodium being removed from the real brackish aquaculture effluent. These findings showed that DF-NF is a feasible approach for concentrating phosphate while removing sodium ions from aquaculture effluent and the recovered nutrient solution has huge potential to be applied as liquid fertilizer for hydroponic plants.

Abstract
The critical challenges of using electromembrane processes [e.g., electrodialysis and flow-electrode capacitive deionization (FCDI)] to recycle resources (e.g., water, salts, and organic compounds) from wastewater are the fractionation of dissolved ionic matter, the removal/recovery of organic components during desalination, and membrane antifouling. This study realized the simultaneous fractionation, desalination, and dye removal/recovery (FDR) treatment of dye/salt mixtures through a simple but effective approach, that is, using a carbon cloth-modified FCDI (CC-FCDI) unit, in which the carbon cloth layer was attached to the surface of each ion-exchange membrane (IEM). The IEMs and carbon-based flow-electrodes were responsible for the fractionation and desalination of dye and salt ions, while the carbon cloth layers contributed to the active membrane antifouling and dye removal/recovery by the electrosorption mechanism. Attributed to such features, the CC-FCDI unit accomplished the effective FDR treatment of dye/salt mixtures with wide ranges of salt and dye concentrations (5-20 g L-1 NaCl and 200-800 ppm methylene blue) and different dye components (cationic and anionic dyes) under various applied voltages (1.2-3.2 V). Moreover, the active membrane antifouling by virtue of the carbon cloth facilitated the excellent and sustainable FDR performance of CC-FCDI. The removal/recovery of dyes from the carbon cloth strongly depends on the characteristics of dye molecules, the surface properties of the carbon cloth, and the local pH at the IEM/CC interfaces. This study sheds light on the strategies of using multifunctional layer-modified FCDI units to reclaim resources from various high-salinity organic wastewater.

Abstract
Tailored design of high-performance nanofiltration (NF) membranes is desirable because the requirements for membrane performance, particularly ion/salt rejection and selectivity, differ among the various applications of NF technology ranging from drinking water production to resource mining. However, this customization greatly relies on a comprehensive understanding of the influence of membrane fabrication methods and conditions on membrane properties and the relationships between the membrane structural and physicochemical properties and membrane performance. Since the inception of NF, much progress has been made in forming the foundation of tailored design of NF membranes and the underlying governing principles. This progress includes theories regarding NF mass transfer and solute rejection, further exploitation of the classical interfacial polymerization technique, and development of novel materials and membrane fabrication methods. In this critical review, we first summarize the progress made in controllable design of NF membrane properties in recent years from the perspective of optimizing interfacial polymerization techniques and adopting new manufacturing processes and materials. We then discuss the property-performance relationships based on solvent/solute mass transfer theories and mathematical models, and draw conclusions on membrane structural and physicochemical parameter regulation by modifying the fabrication process to improve membrane separation performance. Next, existing and potential applications of these NF membranes in water treatment processes are systematically discussed according to the different separation requirements. Finally, we point out the prospects and challenges of tailored design of NF membranes for water treatment applications. This review bridges the long-existing gaps between the pressing demand for suitable NF membranes from the industrial community and the surge of publications by the scientific community in recent years.

Abstract
It is highly challenging to prepare durable and chemical resistant ultra-permeable membranes that can quickly separate small organic molecules like dye or inorganic salt in the complex textile wastewater industry. Here, side-chain sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) was synthesized and prepared the poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) - SPEEK nanofiltration (NF) membrane by a simple dipping coating and heat treatment. Single component filtration tests of the optimized membrane showed ultrahigh pure water flux (126 Lm-2 h-1 bar-1) and relatively low NaCl rejection (6.7%). Moreover, the negatively charged membrane exhibited excellent rejection of 98.8% toward Congo red (CR). The pure water flux was about 9 folds than that of commercial NF270 with comparable solutes rejection. The separation tests of CR and NaCl mixed solution at optimized conditions exhibited ultra-high permeation flux (34 Lm-2 h-1 bar-1), satisfactory dye (98.8%)/salt (< 10%) rejection and the separation performance remained stable after 10 cycles. Finally, the contaminated membrane was washed with ethanol, the permeation flux and the CR rejection remained constant after several cycles, while the commercial NF1 membrane exhibited serious swelling only within one cycle. The prepared membrane exhibited good organic solvents resistance and antifouling properties. Thus, this work confirmed the PEEK-SPEEK NF membrane showed great potential in the sustainable treatment of textile wastewater.

Abstract
In this work, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) loose nanofiltration (NF) hollow fiber membranes with multilayer structure were prepared successfully based on a solvent-free process. Graphene oxide (GO) was used to cover the interface pores of the pristine PVDF membranes via vacuum filtration, and polypyrrole (PPy) was polymerized on the surface to further decorate the membrane structure. Interestingly, the modified membranes exhibited a multilayer structure due to synergistic effect of GO and PPy. The structure and property of PVDF loose NF membranes were investigated in detail. After modifying by GO and PPy, the hydrophilicity improved obviously. Moreover, the molecular weight cut off (MWCO) was about 3580 Da, and the smallest pore size of skin layer decreased to 2.5-4 nm. Furthermore, the PVDF loose NF hollow fiber membranes presented a high dye rejection (˃98.5%) for negative dyes, whereas a low salt rejection for NaCl (about 4%), showing a great potential for separating dye/salt accurately. Specifically, there were not any solvent used in all the preparation processes. The work offered a novel strategy for green preparation of loose NF membranes.

Abstract
The separation properties of polyamide reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes, widely applied for desalination and water reuse, are constrained by the permeability-selectivity upper bound. Although thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes incorporating nanomaterials exhibit enhanced water permeance, their rejection is only moderately improved or even impaired due to agglomeration of nanomaterials and formation of defects. A novel type of TFN membranes featuring an interlayer of nanomaterials (TFNi) has emerged in recent years. These novel TFNi membranes show extraordinary improvement in water flux (e.g., up to an order of magnitude enhancement) along with better selectivity. Such enhancements can be achieved by a wide selection of nanomaterials, ranging from nanoparticles, one-/two-dimensional materials, to interfacial coatings. The use of nanostructured interlayers not only improves the formation of polyamide rejection layers but also provides an optimized water transport path, which enables TFNi membranes to potentially overcome the longstanding trade-off between membrane permeability and selectivity. Furthermore, TFNi membranes can potentially enhance the removal of heavy metals and micropollutants, which is critical for many environmental applications. This review critically examines the recent developments of TFNi membranes and discusses the underlying mechanisms and design criteria. Their potential environmental applications are also highlighted.

Abstract
The forward osmosis-membrane distillation (FO-MD) hybrid process has shown great promise in achieving zero liquid discharge in the textile industry, recovering valuable dye molecules while producing large amounts of clean water. However, the progress of this technology seems to have stagnated with the direct coupling of commercial asymmetric FO and MD membranes, because water management in the system is found to be rather complicated owing to the processing of the different membranes. Herein, we propose, for the first time, an FO-MD hybrid process using a custom-made self-standing and symmetric membrane and a hydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene membrane in the FO and MD units, respectively. Three types of operation modes were investigated to systematically study the process performance in the concentration treatment of model textile wastewater; two commercial FO membranes were also tested for comparison. Owing to its low fouling propensity and lack of an internal concentration polarization effect, the water transfer rate of our symmetric FO membrane quickly reaches equilibrium with that in the MD unit, resulting in continuous and stable operation. Consequently, the hybrid process using the symmetric FO membrane was found to consume the least energy, as indicated by its lowest total cost in both lab- and large-scale systems. Overall, our study provides a new strategy for using a symmetric FO membrane in the FO-MD hybrid process and highlights its great potential for use in the treatment of textile wastewater.

Abstract
The capacity of an adsorbent to bind and remove dye from solution greatly depends on the type of functionalization present on the nanoparticles surface, and its interaction with the dye molecules. Within this study, nitrogenous silane nanoparticles were hydrothermally synthesized resulting in the formation of rapid and highly efficient adsorbents for concentrated mixed dyes. The amorphous silane nanoparticles exhibited a monolayer based mechanism of mixed dye adsorption with removal capacities between 416.67 and 714.29 mg/g of adsorbent. Dye removal was predominantly due to the electrostatic attraction between the positively charged silane nanoparticles (13.22-8.20 mV) and the negatively charged dye molecules (-54.23 mV). Addition of H. annuus extract during synthesis resulted in three times the surface area and 10 times increased pore volume compared to the positive control. XPS analysis showed that silane treatments had various nitrogen containing functionalities at their surface responsible for binding dye. The weak colloidal stability of silane particles (13.22-8.20 mV) was disrupted following dye binding, resulting in their rapid coagulation and flocculation which facilitated the separation of bound dye molecules from solution. The suitability for environmental applications using these treatments was supported by a bacterial viability assay showing >90% cell viability in treated dye supernatants.

Abstract
In this study, the selective adsorption performance of different Fe-Mn binary oxides (FMBOs) towards Sb(V) in the textile wastewater under different concentrations of coexisting anions, surfactants and dyes were investigated. Results showed that the influences of different anions on the Sb(V) removal followed an order of phosphate > carbonate > sulfate > nitrate > chloride. The frequently-used organic acid of acetate was found to have insignificant effect. The coexisting surfactant with sulfonic groups could have adverse effect on the removal due to sulfonic groups could compete the adsorptive sites on Fe oxides with Sb(V). While the quaternary ammonium surfactant might have minor effect. The influences of the three widely used dyes on the Sb(V) adsorption decreased in the following order: reactive black-5 >acid orange-7> disperse blue-60, which confirmed that the dyes with sulfonic groups would have relatively higher effect. The selective adsorption capacities of Sb(V) by FMBOs followed an order of FMBO3> FMBO5 >FMBO10> FMBO20>PFO. Fixed-bed column adsorption supplied useful parameters and evidently indicated that the cyclic utilization of FMBO3 was cost-efficient for practical dynamic Sb(V) removal. The Sb(V) removal by FMBO3 from real textile wastewater can simultaneously improve the removal efficiency, stabilize pH and prevent the increase of iron concentration as compared to the traditional coagulation, further demonstrating the high practical applicability of FMBO3.

Forward osmosis (FO) can potentially treat textile wastewaters with less fouling than pressure-driven membrane processes such as reverse osmosis and nanofiltration. However, conventional FO membranes with asymmetric architecture experience severe flux decline caused by internal concentration polarization and fouling as dye molecules accumulate on the membrane surface. In this study, we present a new strategy for concentrating dye by using a self-standing, support-free FO membrane with a symmetric structure. The membrane was fabricated by a facile solution-casting approach based on a poly(triazole- co-oxadiazole- co-hydrazine) (PTAODH) skeleton. Due to its dense architecture, ultrasmooth surface, and high negative surface charge, the PTAODH membrane exhibits excellent FO performance with minimal fouling, low reverse salt flux, and negligible dye passage to the draw solution side. Cleaning with a 40% alcohol solution, after achieving a concentration factor of ∼10, resulted in high flux recovery ratio (98.7%) for the PTAODH membrane, whereas significant damage to the active layers of two commercial FO membranes was observed. Moreover, due to the existence of cytotoxic oxadiazole and triazole moieties in the polymer structure, our PTAODH membrane exhibited an outstanding antibacterial property with two model bacteria. Our results demonstrate the promising application of the symmetric PTAODH membrane for the concentration of textile wastewaters and its superior antifouling performance compared to state-of-the-art commercial FO membranes.

Abstract
Use of tight ultrafiltration (UF) membranes has created a new pathway in fractionation of dye/salt mixtures from textile wastewater for sustainable resource recovery. Unexpectedly, a consistently high rejection for the dyes with smaller sizes related to the pore sizes of tight UF membranes is yielded. The potential mechanism involved in this puzzle remains unclear. In this study, seven tailored UF membranes with molecular weight cut-offs (MWCOs) from 6050 to 17530 Da were applied to separate dye/salt mixtures. These UF membranes allowed a complete transfer for NaCl and Na2SO4, due to large pore sizes. Additionally, these UF membranes had acceptably high rejections for direct and reactive dyes, due to the aggregation of dyes as clusters for enhanced sizes and low diffusivity. Specifically, the membrane with an MWCO of 7310 Da showed a complete rejection for reactive blue 2 and direct dyes. An integrated UF-diafiltration process was subsequently designed for fractionation of reactive blue 2/Na2SO4 mixture, achieving 99.84% desalination efficiency and 97.47% dye recovery. Furthermore, reactive blue 2 can be concentrated from 2.01 to 31.80 g·L-1. These results indicate that UF membranes even with porous structures are promising for effective fractionation of dyes and salts in sustainable textile wastewater treatment.
