Self-cleaning Anti-fouling TiO2/Poly(aryl ether sulfone) Composite Ultrafiltration Membranes

A series of novel TiO2/poly(aryl ether sulfone) ultrafiltration membranes with anti-fouling and self-cleaning properties was designed and prepared. First, anti-photocatalytic degraded fluorine contained polv(aryl ether sulfone) matrix(PAES-F) was synthesized. Then the composite membranes were prepared via TiO2 nanopartides and PAES-F polymer matrix by solution blending and non-solvent induced phase inversion methods. Further, separation efficiency, fouling behavior and self-cleaning property of the composite ultrafiltration(UF) membranes were investigated by dead-end filtration experiments using a polyacn lamide solution. The composite UF membranes exhibited outstanding self-cleaning efficiency and anti-photocatalytic degraded property after exposure to simulated sunliglit irradiation.The water flux recovery ratios(FRR)of the optimal composite UF membranes could reach 74.24%, which was attributable to photocatalytic degradation of the organic contaminant by TiO2. And the retention rates of the composite UF membranes could maintain over 97%, which indicated the excellent photocatalytic degradation resistance of the fluorine contained PAES-F matrix. The novel high perfomiance composite UF membranes have a broad application prospect in water treatment.     

The influence of phase inversion process modified by chemical reaction on membrane properties and morphology

In this study, the chemical reaction between acetic acid (CH₃COOH) used as non-solvent additive of casting solution and sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) dissolved in water as coagulant was employed to modify the classical phase inversion process. By means of this method, the polyethersulphone (PES) ultrafiltration (UF) membranes were prepared. The influence of acetic acid on the properties of the polymer solution was examined by viscometry and related to the morphology of the membrane prepared from the casting solution. The membranes were characterized in terms of the pure water flux, solute transport and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) observation. It was found that chemical reaction between the additive and coagulant increases membrane permeability and mean pore size while maintaining the relatively narrow pore size distribution. FESEM images also confirmed that the chemical reaction contributes to suppress the formation of macrovoid and enhance the interconnectivity of pore. Furthermore, the potential mechanism of membrane formation influenced by chemical reaction was explored tentatively.     

Pervaporation separation of water/ethanol mixture by TGN/PSF blending membrane

The separation performance of plasticizer/polysulfone (TGN/PSF) pervaporation membrane was studied. The optimum amount of plasticizer (TGN) in PSF membranes improved the diffusion selectivity of water to ethanol, which was due to the increase in the permeate diffusion rate difference between water to ethanol molecules. On the other hand, the solubility selectivity of water to ethanol in PSF membrane showed a minor change with increasing the plasticizer content in TGN/PSF membrane. The feed ethanol concentration showed a significant influence on the degree of swelling as well as the separation performance of TGN/PSF membrane. It was found that the dominant factor of permeate transport through membranes was the diffusion rate difference, especially at high ethanol concentrations in feed. This study indicated that a good separation performance could be achieved at high ethanol concentrations in feed. This investigation also proves that the flexible polymer chain mobility, which was due to both the addition of TGN in the membrane and the swelling effect of the membrane at the high ethanol concentration in feed solution, strongly influences the separation properties of TGN/PSF membrane.     

Polyethersulfone/polyacrylonitrile blend ultrafiltration membranes with different molecular weight of polyethylene glycol: preparation,morphology and antifouling properties

Asymmetric ultrafiltration (UF) membranes were prepared from blends of polyethersulfone (PES)/polyacrylonitrile (PAN) via phase inversion method induced by immersion precipitation. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) with four different molecular weights was used as pore former and hydrophilic polymeric additive. N,N‐dimethylformamide (DMF) and water were used as solvent and coagulant (nonsolvent), respectively. The effects of different proportion of PES/PAN and molecular weight of PEG on morphology and performance of the prepared membranes were investigated. Performance of the membranes was evaluated using UF experiments of pure water and buffered bovine serum albumin (BSA) solution as feed. The contact angle measurements indicated that the hydrophilicities of PES/PAN membrane increase by increasing the PAN concentration in the casting solution. However, performance of the membranes improves by increasing the PAN concentration in the casting solution up to 20% and then decreases with further addition of PAN. It was found out that the rejection of BSA decreases with increasing the PAN concentration in the casting solution. Furthermore, it was found that the performance of the membranes increases by increasing the molecular weight of PEG up to 1500 Da and then decreases with the higher molecular weights. The morphology of the prepared membranes was studied by scanning electron microscopy. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Influence of binary interactions on phase behavior of water/ dimethylsulfoxide/ polyethersulfone casting solution: Thermodynamic modeling

Prediction and control of membrane morphology using multi‐phase thermodynamic knowledge are of growing interest. The water/dimethylsulfoxide/polyethersulfone ternary system is a widely used casting dope for the preparation of MF, UF, and NF membranes. In the current study, Flory–Huggins (F–H) model was applied to predict the behavior of this ternary system during phase inversion. Titration method was applied to generate cloud point data. The prediction accuracy of the F–H model was directly dependent on the binary interactions of the system components. The compressible regular solution (CRS) model predicts the binodal location using only the pure component properties as the input parameters. Accordingly, the influence of binary parameters on the location of the binodal curves was investigated. The predicted binodal points showed superior accordance with the experimental data, where the binary interaction between nonsolvent (water) and solvent (DMSO) was overlooked. In addition, the modelling results emphasized on the pivotal importance of the interactions between polymer (PES) and nonsolvent (water) on the phase inversion and thus, on the control of the membrane morphology. The CRS model offered a greater conformity with the experimental results in comparison with the F–H theory. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Polysulfone/Brij‐58 blend nanofiltration membranes: preparation,morphology and performance

In present research, novel asymmetric polysulfone (PSF) membranes with high hydrophilicity and noticeable rejection of arsenic, as one of the major environmental problems, were prepared from PSF/Brij‐58/NMP (1‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone) system via immersion precipitation. Pure water was used as gelation media. The variation effect of coagulation bath temperature (CBT) and addition of Brij‐58 on morphology, wettabiliy, pure water permeation flux and rejection of As (III) and As (V), as two dominant states of arsenic in the nature, were studied by scanning electron microscopy, contact angle measuring instrument and experimental setup. The results demonstrated that both hydrophilicity and rejection properties of the prepared membranes were significantly enhanced by small addition of Brij‐58 surfactant in the casting solution along with using the lowest level of CBT. Addition of 4 wt. % of Brij‐58 and using cold coagulation bath resulted in the highest rejection of As (V). Initial increase in Brij‐58 concentration, from 0 wt. % to 2 wt. %, resulted in higher rejection of As (III). However, higher Brij‐58 concentrations than 2 wt. % (increase from 2 wt. % to 6 wt. %) led to lower rejection of As (III). Also, it was found out that addition of Brij‐58 in the casting solution along with increasing the CBT resulted in formation of membranes with high permeability and sub‐layer porosity and thin top layer.
