Tailoring the characteristics of polyacrylonitrile nanofiltration membranes for nickel removal from wastewater: The influence of binary solvents and pore-forming agents. WATER ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH : A RESEARCH PUBLICATION OF THE WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION 2024; 96:e11126. [PMID: 39286867 DOI: 10.1002/wer.11126] [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: 05/22/2024] [Revised: 08/10/2024] [Accepted: 08/28/2024] [Indexed: 09/19/2024]
Abstract
This work presents the results of an investigation on the physiochemical and structural characteristics of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiltration (NF) membranes prepared using a novel concept of binary solvents for nickel (Ni) removal from wastewater streams. The thermodynamic and kinetic aspects are emphasized aiming to optimize dope formulation, membrane performance, and durability. The fabricated membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), porosimetry, tensile stress/strain, and flux and rejection. Results revealed that the use of an equal (1:1) mixture of n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and dimethylformamide (DMF) as dope solvents led to the formation of membranes with enhanced performance, offering pure water flux of 2.33 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1 and Ni rejection of 90.84%. Moreover, the incorporation of 0.5 wt.% PEG as a pore-forming agent to the dope solution further boosted pure water flux to 4.97 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1 with negligible impact on Ni rejection. Besides attractive performance, the adopted strategy offered membranes of exceptionally high flexibility with no sign of defect or failure especially during module fabrication and testing enabling smooth and hassle-free scale-up and extension to other applications. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Optimized solvent mixture: A 1:1 blend of n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and dimethylformamide (DMF) as solvents resulted in enhanced membrane performance. High flux and Ni rejection: The fabricated membranes exhibited a pure water flux of 2.33 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1 and a remarkable Ni rejection of 90.84%. PEG enhancement: Incorporating 0.5 wt.% PEG as a pore-forming agent further improved the membrane's pure water flux to 4.97 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1, without compromising Ni rejection. Exceptional flexibility: The adopted strategy yielded membranes with exceptional flexibility, making them suitable for scale-ups and other applications.

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
High-efficiency dye desalination is crucial in the textile industry, considering its importance for human health, safe aquatic ecological systems, and resource recovery. In order to solve the problem of effective separation of univalent salt and ionic dye under the condition of high salt, ionic hyperbranched poly(amido-amine) (HBPs) were synthesized based on a simple and scalable one-step polycondensation method and then incorporated into the polyamide (PA) selective layers to construct charged nanochannels through interfacial polymerization (IP) on the surface of a polyvinyl chloride ultrafiltration (PVC-UF) hollow fiber membrane. Both the internal nanopores of HBPs (internal nanochannels) and the interfacial voids between HBPs and the PA matrix (external nanochannels) can be regarded as a fast water molecule transport pathway, while the terminal ionic groups of ionic HBPs endow the nanochannels with charge characteristics for improving ionic dye/salt selectivities. The permeate fluxes and dye/salt selectivities of HBP-TAC/PIP (57.3 L m-2 h-1 and rhodamine B (RB)/NaCl selectivity of 224.0) and HBP-PS/PIP (63.7 L m-2 h-1 and lemon yellow (LY)/NaCl selectivity of 664.0) membranes under 0.4 MPa operation pressure are much higher than PIP-only and HBP-NH2/PIP membranes. At the same time, this project also studied the membrane desalination process in a simulated high-salinity dye/salt mixture system to provide a theoretical basis and technical support for the actual dye desalination process.

Abstract
The presence of heavy metal ions in polluted wastewater represents a serious threat to human health, making proper disposal extremely important. The utilization of nanofiltration (NF) membranes has emerged as one of the most effective methods of heavy metal ion removal from wastewater due to their efficient operation, adaptable design, and affordability. NF membranes created from advanced materials are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to depollute wastewater in a variety of circumstances. Tailoring the NF membrane's properties to efficiently remove heavy metal ions from wastewater, interfacial polymerization, and grafting techniques, along with the addition of nano-fillers, have proven to be the most effective modification methods. This paper presents a review of the modification processes and NF membrane performances for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater, as well as the application of these membranes for heavy metal ion wastewater treatment. Very high treatment efficiencies, such as 99.90%, have been achieved using membranes composed of polyvinyl amine (PVAM) and glutaraldehyde (GA) for Cr3+ removal from wastewater. However, nanofiltration membranes have certain drawbacks, such as fouling of the NF membrane. Repeated cleaning of the membrane influences its lifetime.

Abstract
The problem of fisheries waste has increased in recent years and has become a global problem influenced by various biological, technical, operational and socioeconomic factors. In this context, the use of these residues as raw materials is a proven approach not only to reduce the crisis of unprecedented magnitude facing the oceans, but also to improve the management of marine resources and increase the competitiveness of the fisheries sector. However, the implementation of valorization strategies at the industrial level is being excessively slow, despite this great potential. Chitosan, a biopolymer extracted from shellfish waste, is a clear example of this because although countless chitosan-based products have been described for a wide variety of applications, commercial products are still limited. To address this drawback, it is essential to consolidate a "bluer" chitosan valorization cycle towards sustainability and circular economy. In this perspective we wanted to focus on the cycle of valorization of chitin, which allows to transform a waste product (chitin) into a material suitable for the development of useful products to solve the source of its origin as a waste product and pollutant; chitosan-based membranes for wastewater remediation.

Abstract
An important way to promote the environmental industry's goal of carbon reduction is to promote the recycling of resources. Membrane separation technology has unique advantages in resource recovery and advanced treatment of industrial wastewater. However, the great promise of traditional organic membrane is hampered by challenges associated with organic solvent tolerance, lack of oxidation resistance, and serious membrane fouling control. Moreover, the high concentrations of organic matter and inorganic salts in the membrane filtration concentrate also hinder the wider application of the membrane separation technology. The emerging cost-effective graphene oxide (GO)-based membrane with excellent resistance to organic solvents and oxidants, more hydrophilicity, lower membrane fouling, better separation performance has been expected to contribute more in industrial wastewater treatment. Herein, we provide comprehensive insights into the preparation and characteristic of GO membranes, as well as current research status and problems related to its future application in industrial wastewater treatment. Finally, concluding remarks and future perspectives have been deduced and recommended for the GO membrane separation technology application for industrial wastewater treatment, which leads to realizing sustainable wastewater recycling and a nearly "zero discharge" water treatment process.

Abstract
In the state-of-the-art membrane industry, membranes have linear life cycles and are commonly disposed of by landfill or incineration, sacrificing their sustainability. To date, little or no thought is given in the design phase to the end-of-life management of membranes. For the first time, we have innovated high-performance sustainable membranes, which can be closed-loop recycled after long-term usage for water purification. By synergizing membrane technology and dynamic covalent chemistry, covalent adaptable networks (CANs) with thermally reversible Diels-Alder (DA) adducts were synthesized and employed to fabricate integrally skinned asymmetric membranes via the nonsolvent-induced phase separation technique. Due to the stable and reversible features of CAN, the closed-loop recyclable membranes exhibit excellent mechanical properties and thermal and chemical stabilities as well as separation performance, which are comparable to or even higher than the state-of-the-art nonrecyclable membranes. Moreover, the used membranes can be closed-loop recycled with consistent properties and separation performance by depolymerization to remove contaminants, followed by refabrication into new membranes through the dissociation and reformation of DA adducts. This study may fill in the gaps in closed-loop recycling of membranes and inspire the advancement of sustainable membranes for a green membrane industry.

Abstract
For better sustainable resource recovery and elevating the separation efficiency of dye/salt mixture, it is essential to develop an appropriate nanofiltration membrane for the treatment of textile dyeing wastewater containing relatively smaller molecule dyes. In this work, a novel composite polyamide-polyester nanofiltration membrane was fabricated by tailoring amino functionalized quantum dots (NGQDs) and β-cyclodextrin (CD). An in-situ interfacial polymerization occurred between the synthesized NGQDs-CD and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) on the modified multi-carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) substrate. The incorporation of NGQDs significantly elevated the rejection (increased by ∼ 45.08%) of the resultant membrane for small molecular dye (Methyl orange, MO) compared to the pristine CD membrane at low pressure (1.5 bar). The newly developed NGQDs-CD-MWCNTs membrane exhibited enhanced water permeability without compromising the dye rejection compared to the pure NGQDs membrane. The improved performance of the membrane was primarily attributed to the synergistic effect of functionalized NGQDs and the special hollow-bowl structure of CD. The optimal NGQDs-CD-MWCNTs-5 membrane expressed pure water permeability of 12.35 L m-2h-1 bar-1 at the pressure of 1.5 bar. Noteworthily, the NGQDs-CD-MWCNTs-5 membrane not only showed high rejection for the larger molecular dye of Congo Red (CR, 99.50%) but also for the smaller molecular dye of MO (96.01%) and Brilliant Green (BG, 95.60%) with the permeability of 8.81, 11.40, and 6.37 L m-2h-1 bar-1, respectively at low pressure (1.5 bar). The rejection of inorganic salts by the NGQDs-CD-MWCNTs-5 membrane was 17.20% for sodium chloride (NaCl), 14.30% for magnesium chloride (MgCl2), 24.63% for magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), and 54.58% for sodium sulfate (Na2SO4), respectively. The great rejection of dyes remained in the dye/salt binary mixed system (higher than 99% for BG and CR, <21% for NaCl). Importantly, the NGQDs-CD-MWCNTs-5 membrane exhibited favorable antifouling performance and potential good operation stability performance. Consequently, the fabricated NGQDs-CD-MWCNTs-5 membrane suggested a prospective application for the reuse of salts and water in textile wastewater treatment owing to the effective selective separation performance.

Abstract
Hydroelectric nanogenerators have been previously proposed to recycle various water resources and polluted water. However, as conventional hydroelectric nanogenerators only utilize water resources, they cannot provide a fundamental solution for water recycling. In this study, a water purification membrane is proposed that can simultaneously generate electricity during the purification process (electricity generation and purification membrane (EPM)) for water recycling. As polluted water passes through the EPM, the water is purified in the perpendicular direction, while electricity is simultaneously produced in the horizontal direction by the movement of ions. Notably, the EPM exhibits high energy generation performance (maximum power 16.44 µW and energy 15.16 mJ) by the streaming effect of water-streaming carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Moreover, by using a poly(acrylic acid)/carboxymethyl cellulose (PAA/CMC) binder to EPM, the energy-generation performance and long-term stability are substantially improved and outstanding mechanical stability is provided, regardless of the acidity of the water source (pH 1-10). More importantly, the EPM exhibits the water purification characteristics of >90% rejection of sub-10 nm pollutants and potentiality of ångstrom level cation rejection, with simultaneous and continuous energy generation. Overall, this study proposes an efficient EPM model, which can be potentially used as a next-generation renewable energy generation approach, thus laying the foundation for effective utilization of polluted water resources.

Abstract
Externally selective thin film composite (TFC) hollow fiber (HF) nanofiltration membranes (NFMs) hold great industrial application prospects because of their high surface area module. However, the complicated preparation process of the membrane has hindered its mass manufacture and application. In this work, PMIA TFC HF NFMs were successfully prepared by the interfacial polymerization (IP) of piperazine (PIP) with 1,3,5-benzenetricarbonyl trichloride (TMC). The effect of the membrane preparation conditions on their separation performance was systematically investigated. The characterized results showed the successful formation of a polyamide (PA) separation layer on PMIA HF substrates by the IP process. The as-prepared HF NFMs’ performance under optimized conditions achieved the highest pure water permeability (18.20 L·m−2·h−1, 0.35 MPa) and superior salt rejection in the order: RNa2SO4 (98.30%) > RMgSO4 (94.60%) > RMgCl2 (61.48%) > RNaCl (19.24%). In addition, the as-prepared PMIA HF TFC NFMs exhibited desirable pressure resistance at various operating bars and Na2SO4 feed concentrations. Excellent separation performance of chromotrope 2B dye was also achieved. The as-prepared PMIA HF NFMs thus show great promise for printing and dyeing wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In view of the high risks brought about by organic micropollutants (OMPs), nanofiltration (NF) processes have been playing a vital role in advanced water and wastewater treatment, owing to the high membrane performance in rejection of OMPs, permeation of water, and passage of mineral salts. Though numerous studies have been devoted to evaluating and technically enhancing membrane performance in removing various OMPs, the trade-off effect between water permeance and water/OMP selectivity for state-of-the-art membranes remains far from being understood. Knowledge of this effect is significant for comparing and guiding membrane development works toward cost-efficient OMP removal. In this work, we comprehensively assessed the performance of 88 NF membranes, commercialized or newly developed, based on their water permeance and OMP rejection data published in the literature. The effectiveness and underlying mechanisms of various modification methods in tailoring properties and in turn performance of the mainstream polyamide (PA) thin-film composite (TFC) membranes were quantitatively analyzed. The trade-off effect was demonstrated by the abundant data from both experimental measurements and machine learning-based prediction. On this basis, the advancement of novel membranes was benchmarked by the performance upper-bound revealed by commercial membranes and lab-made PA membranes. We also assessed the potentials of current NF membranes in selectively separating OMPs from inorganic salts and identified the future research perspectives to achieve further enhancement in OMP removal and salt/OMP selectivity of NF membranes.

Abstract
In this study, a higher concentration of (reactive dyestuff and salt) mixed water was used to verify the feasibility of separation by membrane techniques. The commercial nano filtration ceramic membrane (MWCO 200 Da) has been used in cross flow mode for separation of dyes and salts from highly concentrated mixed water solution. NF ceramic membrane presents good permeability (pure water flux 54.15 Lm-2 h-1, TMP 8 bar), 8% dye rejection and reduced salt rejection of NaCl (<8%) and Na2SO4 (<25%). Consequently, the operation parameters (TMP, temperature) and solution environment (solution pH, salt concentration and dye concentration) have been intensively evaluated for separation efficiency in the NF ceramic membrane process. Significantly, the NF ceramic membrane has performed less rejection to chloride ions than sulphate ions due to the Donnan effect. Solution pH, concentration of salt and dye concentration have shown significant effects on ceramic membrane separation performance. In addition, pollutant removals were achieved with noteworthy values for the chemical oxygen demand for permeate solution also color difference between concentrate and permeate. In conclusion, the strong rejection of dyes by the NF ceramic membranes proves that it can be suitable alternatives for textile wastewater treatment process.

Abstract
The industrial and agricultural revolution has posed a serious and potential threat to environment. The industrial and agricultural pollutants are directly released into the environment. This issue has clinched the scientists to work on different materials in order to decontaminate the environment. Among all other techniques, the membrane filtration technology has fascinated researchers to overcome the pollution by its promising features. This review elaborated various membrane synthesis approaches along with their mechanism of filtration, their applications towards environmental remediation such as removal of heavy metals, degradation of dyes, pharma waste, organic pollutants, as well as gas sensing applications. The membrane synthesis using different sort of materials in which inorganic, carbon materials, polymers and metal organic framework (MOFs) are highlighted. These materials have been involved in synthesis of membrane to make it more cost effective and productive to remove such hazardous materials from wastewater. Based on the reported literature, it has been found that inorganic and polymer membranes are facing issues of brittleness and swelling prior to the industrial scale applications related to the high temperature and pressure which needs to be addressed to enhance the permeation performance.

Abstract
Azo dyes in wastewater have great threats to environment and human health. White-rot fungi (WRF) have broad-spectrum potential for such refractory organics bioremediation; however, their applications are largely restrained by the poor viability owning to microbial invasion under non-sterile conditions. In this study, short-term pre-exposure to silver ion (Ag+) was demonstrated to be a practical, economic, and green method to enhance the perdurability of azo dyes decoloration by WRF Phanerochaete chrysosporium under non-sterile conditions. In control (without Ag+ pre-exposure), decoloration deactivated since cycle 7 (<10%), whereas in Ag+ pre-exposure groups, the decoloration ratios remained 91.5%-94.7% after 7 cycles. Variations in decoloration-related extracellular lignin enzyme activities were consistent with the decoloration effectiveness. The enhanced decoloration capability in Ag+ pre-exposure groups under non-sterile conditions could be ascribed to the selectively antimicrobial action by Ag+. The released Ag+ from the self-assembled silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) could selectively "stimulate" the proliferation and viability of P. chrysosporium, and simultaneously inhibit the growths of invasive microorganisms. The pyrosequencing results indicated that genus Sphingomonas (24.1%-31.3%) was the main invasive bacteria in Ag+ pre-exposure groups after long-term operation owing to the AgNPs passivation. As control, the invasive fungi (Asterotremella humicola) and bacteria (Burkholderia spp.) occurred in control after short-term operation, and genus Burkholderia (74.9%) dominated after long-term operation, leading to decoloration deactivation. Overall, these findings offer a new insight into the bio-nano interactions between WRF and invasive microorganisms in response to Ag+ or biogenic AgNPs, and could extend WRF application perspective under non-sterile conditions in future.

Abstract
In many important industries, such as the textile printing industry, a large amount of dye/salt wastewater is often discharged, which can destroy the ecological environment of the water body. Membrane technology has a great potential in the treatment of environmental problems caused by dye/salt wastewater. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofiltration (NF) membrane has a bright future in dye/salt wastewater treatment, however, works on this are rare. Herein, antibacterial PVA NF membrane incorporated with Cu(OH)2 nanowires for the dye/salt wastewater treatment is reported. The membrane was prepared via coating the solutions containing PVA, glutaraldehyde and Cu(OH)2 nanowires on the polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane. Cu(OH)2 nanowires has a diameter of 60 nm and was successfully introduced into the membrane. The introduction of nanowires improved the membrane hydrophilicity and roughness, which is conducive to the improvement of membrane flux. Membrane separation performance for one component solution and dye/salt solution were investigated. The introduction of Cu(OH)2 increases the flux of the membrane obviously (the highest increase is 178.78% (from 21.49 to 38.42 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1, for NaCl solution as the feed). Besides, the membrane doped with nanowires also possessed a high dye/salt selectivity. For one component solution, the dye removal rate was over 97.00% while the salt rejection was low (the lowest was 13.18% (NaCl)). For the dye/salt solution, the dye (Congo Red) rejection kept at a high level (98.91%) and the salt (NaCl) rejection was still low (13.71%), while the flux was also high (37.56 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1). The performance is superior to that of many membranes reported in previous works. Moreover, the Cu(OH)2 nanowires endowed the membrane with an improved and high antibacterial property. The sterilization rate of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus reached more than 99.99%.

Abstract
We introduce a new graphene oxide (GO)-based membrane architecture that hosts cobalt catalysts within its nanoscale pore walls. Such an architecture would not be possible with catalysts in nanoscale, the current benchmark, since they would block the pores or alter the pore structure. Therefore, we developed a new synthesis procedure to load cobalt in an atomically dispersed fashion, the theoretical limit in material downsizing. The use of vitamin C as a mild reducing agent was critical to load Co as dispersed atoms (Co1), preserving the well-stacked 2D structure of GO layers. With the addition of peroxymonosulfate (PMS), the Co1-GO membrane efficiently degraded 1,4-dioxane, a small, neutral pollutant that passes through nanopores in single-pass treatment. The observed 1,4-dioxane degradation kinetics were much faster (>640 times) than the kinetics in suspension and the highest among reported persulfate-based 1,4-dioxane destruction. The capability of the membrane to reject large organic molecules alleviated their effects on radical scavenging. Furthermore, the advanced oxidation also mitigated membrane fouling. The findings of this study present a critical advance toward developing catalytic membranes with which two distinctive and complementary processes, membrane filtration and advanced oxidation, can be combined into a single-step treatment.

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
Effective dye separation and desalination are critical for the treatment of highly saline textile wastewater with dye mixtures. In this study, a graphene oxide (GO) membrane with a tunable interlayer distance (d) was fabricated to generate clean water via two-stage filtration, namely, the dye/salt separation and desalination stages. In the first stage, under low pressure (e.g., 0.3 MPa), the membrane with a d value of ca. 7.60 Å was suitable for removing the dye from the saline wastewater. The dye and salt (i.e., Na2SO4) rejection rates of >99% and <6.5% were achieved, respectively, indicating the significant potential to recycle the dyes from the highly saline dye wastewater. In the second stage, under a higher pressure (e.g., 0.8 MPa), the d value was reduced to ca. 7.15 Å, bestowing the membrane with a desalination function. The desalination rate of a single filtration process could reach up to 51.8% from 1.0 g/L saline (i.e., Na2SO4) water. The as-prepared membrane also exhibited excellent practical advantages, including ultrahigh permeability, significant antifouling (against dye) performance, and excellent stability. Furthermore, with the stacking of multistage filtration systems, the proposed membrane technology will be capable of regenerating dye and producing clean water.

Abstract
Effective extraction of useful resources from high-salinity textile wastewater is a critical pathway for sustainable wastewater management. In this study, an integrated loose nanofiltration-electrodialysis process was explored for simultaneous recovery of dyes, NaCl and pure water from high-salinity textile wastewater, thus closing the material loop and minimizing waste emission. Specifically, a loose nanofiltration membrane (molecular weight cutoff of ~800 Da) was proposed to fractionate the dye and NaCl in the high-salinity textile wastewater. Through a nanofiltration-diafiltration unit, including a pre-concentration stage and a constant-volume diafiltration stage, the dye could be recovered from the high-salinity textile wastewater, being enriched at a factor of ~9.0, i.e., from 2.01 to 17.9 g·L-1 with 98.4% purity. Assisted with the subsequent implementation of electrodialysis, the NaCl concentrate and pure water were effectively reclaimed from the salt-containing permeate coming from the loose nanofiltration-diafiltration. Simultaneously, the produced pure water was further recycled to the nanofiltration-diafiltration unit. This study shows the potential of the integration of loose nanofiltation-diafiltration with electrodialysis for sufficient resource extraction from high-salinity textile wastewater.

Abstract
Enhancing the water permeance while maintaining the solute rejection of a nanofiltration (NF) membrane can potentially result in significant cost-reduction for NF-a membrane process that excels in several unique environmental applications of growing interests. In this work, we demonstrate for the first time that intercalation of surfactant self-assemblies in the polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) can lead to significant performance enhancement of salt-rejecting dense NF membranes fabricated using layer-by-layer assembly of polyelectrolytes. Specifically, the intercalation of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) bilayers in a PEM comprising poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) and poly (sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) resulted in a decrease in PEM thickness, increase in pore size, and a smoother and more hydrophilic surface. The water permeance of the resulting PEM NF membrane increased by 100% without compromising the rejection of Na2SO4. Experiments with a quartz crystal microbalance also provide direct evidence that the intercalation of the surfactants substantially reduces the subsequent adsorption of the polyelectrolytes of a similar charge. Based on its mechanism of performance enhancement, surfactant intercalation may become a universally applicable and highly cost-effective approach for dramatically enhancing the performance of PEM NF membranes.
