Abstract
Developing synthetic strategies for smart materials for the adsorption and separation of toxic chemicals is of great importance. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been proven to be outstanding adsorbent materials that possess excellent pollutant removal performances in wastewater treatment, including dye recycling. In this work, a neutral Cd(II) based 2D framework with a dual ligand strategy involving -OH functionalized 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid (5-OH-H2IPA) and the amide decorated Schiff base ligand (E)-N'-(pyridin-4-ylmethylene)isonicotinohydrazide (L) has been synthesized by different synthetic routes and characterized by various analytical methods. Thus, crystals of {[Cd(5-OH-IPA)(L)]·CH3OH}n synthesized via diffusion (ADES-7D) and the phase pure bulk product synthesized by conventional reflux (ADES-7C) and the mechanochemical grinding method (ADES-7M) have been established using PXRD data of the respective product showing identical simulated SXRD data to those of ADES-7D. The mechanochemically synthesized ADES-7M possesses a better surface area and CO2 adsorption capability compared to ADES-7C, which is also supported by electron microscopy and particle size measurements. Furthermore, ADES-7 can be used as an efficient adsorbent material for the reversible, selective adsorption (42-99%) and separation of the cationic dyes malachite green (MG), methyl violet (MV), methylene blue (MB), and rhodamine B (RhB) from the mixture of cationic/anionic dyes (methyl orange (MO) and bromocresol green (BCG)) in the aqueous phase. Specifically, ADES-7M possesses better dye capture capability compared to ADES-7C, even in the case of the bigger dye RhB with adsorption differences of 2.38 to 1.01 mg g-1, respectively. The dye adsorption kinetics follows pseudo-second-order kinetics, and the dye adsorption isotherm fits well with the Langmuir/Freundlich adsorption isotherm models. The probable mechanism of adsorption involving the supramolecular interaction between the host MOF and the guest dye has also been proposed.

RSC Adv 2024; 14:14202-14213. [PMID: 38690107 PMCID: PMC11058456 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra08576g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024] Open
Abstract
In the search for pharmaceutically active compounds from natural products, it is crucial and challenging to develop separation methods that target not only structurally similar compounds but also a class of compounds with desired pharmaceutical functions. To achieve both structure-oriented and function-oriented selectivity, the choice of functional monomers with broad interactions or even biomimetic roles towards targeted compounds is essential. In this work, an imidazole (IM)-functionalized paper membrane was synthesized to realize selectivity. The IM was selected based on its capability to provide multiple interactions, participation in several bioprocesses, and experimental verification of adsorption performance. Using gallic acid as a representative component of Pomegranate Peel, the preparation conditions and extraction parameters were systematically investigated. The optimal membrane solid-phase extraction (MSPE) method allowed for enrichment of gallic acid from the complex matrix of Pomegranate Peel, enabling facile quantitative analysis with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.1 ng mL-1. Furthermore, with the aid of cheminformatics, the extracted compounds were found to be similar in both their structures and pharmaceutical functions. This work offers a novel approach to preparing a readily synthesized extraction membrane capable of isolating compounds with similar structures and pharmaceutical effects, and provides an MSPE-based analytical method for natural products.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be applied to enhance the property of forward osmosis membranes. However, organic solvents can easily remain in organic synthetic metal-organic frame materials and cause membrane fouling and a decrease in membrane permeability. In this study, water-based Zr-fumarate MOFs were synthesized and doped into the membrane active layer by interfacial polymerization to provide a water-based MOF-doped thin-film composite membrane (TFC membrane). It was found that doping the water-based MOFs effectively improved membrane hydrophilicity, and nanowater passages were introduced in the active layer to improve permeability. The water flux of the water-based MOF-doped TFC membranes was increased by 21% over that of the original membrane, and the selectivity performance of the membrane was improved while keeping the salt rejection basically unchanged. Additionally, the water-based MOF-doped TFC membrane showed good removal efficiency (Rd > 94%) and strong antipollution performance in the treatment of dye pollutants.

Abstract
Forward osmosis (FO) is a low-energy treatment process driven by osmosis to induce the separation of water from dissolved solutes/foulants through the membrane in hydraulic pressure absence while retaining all of these materials on the other side. All these advantages make it an alternative process to reduce the disadvantages of traditional desalination processes. However, several critical fundamentals still require more attention for understanding them, most notably the synthesis of novel membranes that offer a support layer with high flux and an active layer with high water permeability and solute rejection from both solutions at the same time, and a novel draw solution which provides low solute flux, high water flux, and easy regeneration. This work reviews the fundamentals controlling the FO process performance such as the role of the active layer and substrate and advances in the modification of FO membranes utilizing nanomaterials. Then, other aspects that affect the performance of FO are further summarized, including types of draw solutions and the role of operating conditions. Finally, challenges associated with the FO process, such as concentration polarization (CP), membrane fouling, and reverse solute diffusion (RSD) were analyzed by defining their causes and how to mitigate them. Moreover, factors affecting the energy consumption of the FO system were discussed and compared with reverse osmosis (RO). This review will provide in-depth details about FO technology, the issues it faces, and potential solutions to those issues to help the scientific researcher facilitate a full understanding of FO technology.

Abstract
Domestic wastewater (DWW) contains a reservoir of nutrients, such as nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus; however, emerging micropollutants (EMPs) hinder its applications in resource recovery. In this study, a novel class of nanofiltration (NF) membranes was developed; it enabled the efficient removal of harmful EMP constituents while preserving valuable nutrients in the permeate. Neutral (IM-N) and positively charged (IM-P) imidazole derivative compounds have been used to chemically functionalize pristine polyamide (PA) membranes to synchronously inhibit the hydrolysis of residual acyl chloride and promote their amination. Owing to their distinct properties, these IM modifiers can custom-build the membrane physicochemical properties and structures to benefit the NF process in DWW treatment. The electroneutral NF membrane exhibited ultrahigh solute-solute selectivity by minimizing the Donnan effects on ion penetration (K, N, and P ions rejection < 25%) while imposing remarkable size-sieving obstruction against EMPs (rejection ratio > 91%). Moreover, the hydrophilic IM-modifier synergistically led to enhanced water permeance of 9.2 L m-2 h-1 bar-1, reaching a 2-fold higher magnitude than that of the pristine PA membrane, along with excellent antifouling/antibacterial fouling properties. This study may provide a paradigm shift in membrane technology to convert wastewater streams into valuable water and nutrient resources.

Abstract
Membrane-based water treatment processes have been established as a powerful approach for clean water production. However, despite the significant advances made in terms of rejection and flux, provision of sustainable and energy-efficient water production is restricted by the inevitable issue of membrane fouling, known to be the major contributor to the elevated operating costs due to frequent chemical cleaning, increased transmembrane resistance, and deterioration of permeate flux. This review provides an overview of fouling control strategies in different membrane processes, such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration, membrane bioreactors, and desalination via reverse osmosis and forward osmosis. Insights into the recent advancements are discussed and efforts made in terms of membrane development, modules arrangement, process optimization, feed pretreatment, and fouling monitoring are highlighted to evaluate their overall impact in energy- and cost-effective water treatment. Major findings in four key aspects are presented, including membrane surface modification, modules design, process integration, and fouling monitoring. Among the above mentioned anti-fouling strategies, a large part of research has been focused on membrane surface modifications using a number of anti-fouling materials whereas much less research has been devoted to membrane module advancements and in-situ fouling monitoring and control. At the end, a critical analysis is provided for each anti-fouling strategy and a rationale framework is provided for design of efficient membranes and process for water treatment.

Abstract
Forward osmosis (FO) membrane fouling is one of the main reasons that hinder the further application of FO technology in the treatment of dye wastewater. To alleviate membrane fouling, a conductive coal carbon-based substrate and polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) interlayer composite FO membrane (CPFO) was prepared by interfacial polymerization (IP). CPFO-10 membrane prepared by depositing 10 mL of PDA NPs solution exhibited an optimum performance with water flux of 7.56 L/(m2h) for FO mode and 10.75 L/(m2h) for pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) mode, respectively. For rhodamine B and chrome black T dye wastewater treatment, the water flux losses were reduced by 21.6%, and 14.5% under the voltages of +1.5 V, and -1.5 V, respectively, compared with no voltage applied after the device was operated for 8 h. The applied voltage had little effect on the fouling mitigation performance of the CPFO membrane for neutral charged cresol red. After the device was operated for 4 cycles, the rejection rates of dyes wastewater treated by the CPFO membranes with applied voltage were close to 100%. The flux decline rate and flux recovery rate of CPFO membrane for rhodamine B and chrome black T wastewater treatment under application of +1.5 V and -1.5 V voltage after 4 cycles were 11.6%, 99.2%, and 16.7%, 98.9%, respectively. Therefore, the voltage-applied CPFO membrane still maintained good rejection and antifouling performance in long-term operation. This study provides a new insight into the preparation of conductive FO membranes for dye wastewater treatment and membrane fouling control.

Abstract
Conventional polymeric membranes are broadly employed in water treatment processes; however, most of them suffer from relatively low water permeance and severe membrane fouling phenomena owing to their relatively hydrophobic nature. In this work, a novel class of inorganic-organic composite membranes was developed through a newly developed vapor-ventilated in situ chemical deposition method, where the Ti and Si precursors were first hydrolyzed and then conferred into metal oxides to form a continuous TiO2-SiO2 modification layer. Owing to the distinct physicochemical properties, the Ti and Si precursors were leveraged as quasi-molecular regulators to tune the membrane surface chemistry and pore aperture (within the nanoscale) to benefit highly efficient water purification by underpinning the rapid transport of water molecules and featuring an excellent fouling-resistant and fouling-releasing property against typical pollutants. The as-developed TiO2-SiO2/PES composite membrane showed a high water permeance of 187.4 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1, together with a relatively small mean pore aperture of 4.2 nm, showing an outstanding permeating efficiency among state-of-the-art membranes with a similar separation accuracy. This study provides a paradigm shift in membrane materials that could open avenues for developing high-performance inorganic-organic composite membranes for complex wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Poly(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate)-b-poly(imidazoled glycidyl methacrylate-co-diethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate) (PTFEMA-b-P(iGMA-co-MEO2MA)) containing an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) polymer chain was prepared and blended with poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) to produce a thermoresponsive membrane with smart self-cleaning performance. The successful preparation of the membrane was demonstrated by attenuated total reflection-Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy characterization. The membrane shows UCST performance, and its flux changes with the filtrate temperature as the UCST polymer chain stretches out and contracts in response to various temperatures. In addition, the UCST polymer chain can disrupt the foulant and push it away from the membrane when the temperature is above the UCST and thus enables membranes to exhibit a smart self-cleaning behavior. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first report of a smart self-cleaning membrane based on the blending of a diblock copolymer containing a UCST polymer chain with PVDF.

Abstract
Biofouling remains as a persistent problem impeding the applications of membranes for water and wastewater treatment. Green anti-biofouling of membranes made of natural and environmentally friendly materials and methods is a promising strategy to tackle this problem. Herein, we have developed a functionalized PVDF membrane with stimuli-responsive lysozyme nanocapsules (NCP). These nanocapsules can responsively release lysozyme according to environmental stimuli (pH and redox) induced by bacteria. Results showed that (i) the surface of the functionalized membrane with NCP had enhanced hydrophilicity, reduced roughness, and negative charge, (ii) a remarkable reduction of adsorption of proteins, polysaccharides, and bacteria was achieved by the functionalized membrane, and (iii) the colony forming unit (CFU) of bacteria on a membrane surface was reduced more than 80% within 24 h of contact. In addition, the NCP membrane showed excellent anti-biofouling activity regarding the bacterial viability being 12.5 and 8.3% on the membrane after filtration with 108 CFU mL-1 Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus solution as feed, respectively. The coating layer and assembled nanocapsules endowed the membrane with improved lysozyme stability, anti-adhesion performance, and antibacterial activity. Stimuli-responsive lysozyme nanocapsule engineered microfiltration membranes show great potential for anti-biofouling in future practical application.
