Bóna Á, Galambos I, Nemestóthy N. Progress towards Stable and High-Performance Polyelectrolyte Multilayer Nanofiltration Membranes for Future Wastewater Treatment Applications. MEMBRANES 2023; 13:368. [PMID: 37103795 PMCID: PMC10146247 DOI: 10.3390/membranes13040368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2023] [Revised: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
The increasing demand for nanofiltration processes in drinking water treatment, industrial separation and wastewater treatment processes has highlighted several shortcomings of current state-of-the-art thin film composite (TFC NF) membranes, including limitations in chemical resistance, fouling resistance and selectivity. Polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) membranes provide a viable, industrially applicable alternative, providing significant improvements in these limitations. Laboratory experiments using artificial feedwaters have demonstrated selectivity an order of magnitude higher than polyamide NF, significantly higher fouling resistance and excellent chemical resistance (e.g., 200,000 ppmh chlorine resistance and stability over the 0-14 pH range). This review provides a brief overview of the various parameters that can be modified during the layer-by-layer procedure to determine and fine-tune the properties of the resulting NF membrane. The different parameters that can be adjusted during the layer-by-layer process are presented, which are used to optimize the properties of the resulting nanofiltration membrane. Substantial progress in PEM membrane development is presented, particularly selectivity improvements, of which the most promising route seems to be asymmetric PEM NF membranes, offering a breakthrough in active layer thickness and organic/salt selectivity: an average of 98% micropollutant rejection coupled with a NaCl rejection below 15%. Advantages for wastewater treatment are highlighted, including high selectivity, fouling resistance, chemical stability and a wide range of cleaning methods. Additionally, disadvantages of the current PEM NF membranes are also outlined; while these may impede their use in some industrial wastewater applications, they are largely not restrictive. The effect of realistic feeds (wastewaters and challenging surface waters) on PEM NF membrane performance is also presented: pilot studies conducted for up to 12 months show stable rejection values and no significant irreversible fouling. We close our review by identifying research areas where further studies are needed to facilitate the adoption of this notable technology.

Effect of TiO 2 Nanoparticles on Capillary-Driven Flow in Water Nanofilters Based on Chitosan Cellulose and Polyvinylidene Fluoride Nanocomposites: A Theoretical Study. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14142908.

Abstract
In this study, a novel concept of nanofiltration process of drinking water based on capillary-driven nanofiltration is demonstrated using a bio-based nanocomposites’ nanofilter as free power: a green and sustainable solution. Based on Lifshitz and Young–Laplace theories, we show that the chitosan (CS), cellulose acetate (CLA), and Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) polymer matrixes demonstrate hydrophobic behavior, which leads to the draining of water from nanopores when negative capillary pressure is applied and consequently prevents the capillary-driven nanofiltration process. By incorporating 10%, 20%, and 30% volume fraction of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) to the polymers’ matrixes, we demonstrate a wetting conversion from hydrophobic to hydrophilic behavior of these polymer nanocomposites. Subsequently, the threshold volume fraction of the TiO2 NPs for the conversion from draining (hydrophobic) to filling (hydrophilic) by capillary pressure were found to be equal to 5.1%, 10.9%, and 13.9%, respectively, for CS/TiO2, CLA/TiO2, and PVDF/TiO2 nanocomposites. Then, we demonstrated the negligible effect of the gravity force on capillary rise as well as the capillary-driven flow for nanoscale pore size. For nanofilters with the same effective nanopore radius, porosity, pore shape factor, and tortuosity, results from the modified Lucas–Washburn model show that the capillary rise as well as the capillary-driven water volume increase with increased volume fraction of the TiO2 NPs for all nanocomposite nanofilter. Interestingly, the capillary-driven water volume was in range (5.26–6.39) L/h·m2 with 30% volume fraction of TiO2 NPs, which support our idea for capillary-driven nanofiltration as zero energy consumption nano-filtration process. Correspondingly, the biodegradable CS/TiO2 and CLA/TiO2 nanocomposites nanofilter demonstrate capillary-driven water volume higher, ~1.5 and ~1.2 times, respectively, more than the synthetic PVDF/TiO2 nanocomposite.

Abstract
Hollow fiber nanofiltration (NF) membranes have gained increased attention in recent years, partly driven by the availability of alternatives to polyamide-based dense separation layers. Moreover, the global market for NF has been growing steadily in recent years and is expected to grow even faster. Compared to the traditional spiral-wound configuration, the hollow fiber geometry provides advantages such as low fouling tendencies and effective hydraulic cleaning possibilities. The alternatives to polyamide layers are typically chemically more stable and thus allow operation and cleaning at more extreme conditions. Therefore, these new NF membranes are of interest for use in a variety of applications. In this review, we provide an overview of the applications and emerging opportunities for these membranes. Next to municipal wastewater and drinking water processes, we have put special focus on industrial applications where hollow fiber NF membranes are employed under more strenuous conditions or used to recover specific resources or solutes.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2019; 377:290-298. [PMID: 31173978 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2019.05.099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2019] [Revised: 05/20/2019] [Accepted: 05/29/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
A hybrid process of managed aquifer recharge with pre-oxidation was investigated as part of a multiple-barrier approach for safe water production. This study evaluated O3 and O3/H2O2 for the pre-oxidation of urban surface water prior to managed aquifer recharge (MAR) and compared their effectiveness with respect to trace organic contaminants (TrOCs), biostability, and trihalomethane formation potential. The combination of pre-oxidation and MAR was performed using long-term column studies, and the results confirmed the removal of 64 and 56% dissolved organic carbon by using O3 and O3/H2O2, respectively. MAR combined with O3 and O3/H2O2 achieved >50% removal of dissolved organic carbon with the first 5 days of residence time. O3 alone showed better performance in alleviating trihalomethane formation potential during chlorination compared to using O3/H2O2. The pre-oxidation of urban surface water was effective in attenuating selected TrOCs (35 - >99% removal), and subsequent MAR achieved >99% removal of selected TrOCs within the first 5 days, regardless of pretreatment methods examined in this study. The results of this study provide an understanding of the effects of O3 and O3/H2O2 as pre-oxidation processes on urban surface water prior to MAR, as well as the resulting impact on MAR.
