Abstract
Heavy metal removal from water resources is essential for environmental protection and the production of safe drinking water. In this direction, Zinc doped Aluminium Oxide (Zn:Al2O3) nanoparticles were incorporated into Polysulfone (PSf) to prepare mixed matrix membranes for the efficient removal of heavy metals from water. These Zn:Al2O3 nanoparticles prepared by the solution combustion method have a very high surface area (261.44 m2/g) with an approximate size of 50 nm. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy analysis showed that the Al and Zn were in +3 and + 2 oxidation states, respectively. Cross-sectional Scanning Electron Microscopy images revealed the finger-like morphology and porous nature of the membranes. In this study, the optimum loading amount of Zn:Al2O3 nanoparticles was determined. Synthesized membranes showed enhanced hydrophilicity, surface charge, and porosity, which enabled the removal of arsenic and lead with efficiencies of 87% and 98%, respectively. A study of the antifouling properties carried out at various pressures with a feed solution containing Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) showed 98.4% of flux recovery ratio and reusability up to three continuous cycles. Moreover, this work demonstrates a rational design of novel mixed matrix membranes exhibiting characteristics of hydrophilicity, surface charge, and porosity adequate to realize the efficient removal of heavy metals.

Abstract
A novel sulfated castor oil (SCO)-graphene oxide (GO)-strengthened polyetherimide (PEI) membrane was prepared for the first time via phase inversion process for the efficient separation of multiple organic pollutants with superior long-term antifouling stability. X-ray diffraction, attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transfer infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and mechanical strength studies revealed that the SCO and GO were successfully incorporated into the PEI membrane with enhanced mechanical strength. The water flux of the PEI/SCO@GO membrane (410.6 L m-2 h-1) was about 50 times that of bare PEI (7.8 L m-2 h-1) and about 6 times that of PEI/SCO (64.5 L m-2 h-1) membranes. The surface hydrophilicity of the PEI/SCO@GO membrane was significantly increased in terms of the decrease of the water contact angle from 98.5° (bare PEI) to 40.4°. The PEI/SCO@GO membrane separation efficiency was found to be greater than 99.0%, particularly for both the oil-in-water emulsion and the humic acid solution, respectively. Because of the higher flux recovery ratio and the lower total fouling rate of the PEI/SCO@GO membrane, a comprehensive antifouling performance was observed during the long-term foulant filtration cycle analyses. Hence, the incorporation of both SCO and GO into the PEI matrix would render the highly hydrophobic PEI material as the suitable and desirable antifouling membrane toward the treatment of various organic foulants in wastewater.

Abstract
Sulfonated homo and co- polyimide (sPI) were synthesized with new compositional ratios, and used as additives (0.5 wt%, 0.75 wt%, and 1.0 wt%) to prepare blend membranes with polysulfone (PSf). Flat sheet membranes for ultrafiltration (UF) were casted using the phase inversion technique. Surface morphology of the prepared UF membranes were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Surface charge of the membranes were determined by zeta potential, and hydrophilicity was studied by contact angle measurement. The contact angle of the membrane decreased with increasing sPI additive indicates increasing the hydrophilicity of the blend membranes. Filtration studies were conducted for rejection of heavy metals (Pb2+ and Cd2+) and proteins (pepsin and BSA). Blend membranes showed better rejection than pure PSf membrane. Among the blend membranes it was observed that with increasing amount of sPIs enhance the membrane properties and finally, PSf-sPI5 membrane with 1 wt% of sPI5 showed the improved permeability (72.1 L m-2 h-1 bar-1), and the best rejection properties were found for both metal ions (≈98% of Pb2+; ≈92% of Cd2+) and proteins (>98% of BSA; > 86% of Pepsin). Over all, this membrane was having better hydrophilicity, porosity and higher number of sites to attach the metal ions. Its performance was even better than several-reported sulfonic acid based UF membranes. All these intriguing properties directed this new UF membrane for its potential application in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Cellulose acetate (CA) nanocomposite ultrafiltration (UF) membranes were fabricated using 2D layered nanosheets such as graphene oxide (GO) and exfoliated molybdenum disulfide (E-MoS2) and effectively used for the removal of macromolecular protein. The GO and E-MoS2 nanosheets were prepared and characterized by FT-IR and XRD respectively. GO and E-MoS2 (0.5wt.%) were blended individually with CA. The assenting changes generated by the incorporation of GO and E-MoS2 in terms of surface hydrophilicity of the nanocomposite membrane were analyzed by pure water flux (PWF) and contact angle measurement. The influence of 2D nanosheets on the morphology of CA are studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Mechanical strength and hydraulic resistance of the nanocomposite membranes were found to be improved compared to bare CA membrane. The separation and antifouling performance of the nanocomposite membranes were studied using macromolecular bovine serum albumin (BSA). From the results, it was observed that a CA/GO-0.5 membrane exhibited the highest PWF (125.4±1.7Lm-2h-1), water content (70.6±1.2%), porosity (34.6±1.7%), flux recovery ratio (FRR) (88.8±1.6%) and lowest contact angle (63.9±2.5°), hydraulic resistance (4.3±0.67kPa/Lm-2h -1) than pure CA and CA/E-MoS2-0.5 membranes. CA/GO-0.5 membrane displayed superior UF and antifouling performance due to the greater affinity of GO nanoparticles towards water.
