Preparation,structure characteristics and separation properties of thin-film composite polyamide-urethane seawater reverse osmosis membrane

A novel thin-film composite (TFC) seawater reverse osmosis membrane was developed by the interfacial polymerization of 5-chloroformyloxyisophthaloyl chloride (CFIC) and metaphenylenediamine (MPD) on the polysulphone supporting membrane. The performance of the TFC membrane was optimized by studying the preparation parameters, which included the reaction time, pH of the aqueous-MPD solution, monomer CFIC concentration, additive isopropyl alcohol content in aqueous solution, curing temperature and time. The reverse osmosis performance of the resulting membrane was evaluated through permeation experiment with synthetic seawater, and the structure of the novel membrane was characterized by using SEM, AFM and XPS. Furthermore, the separation properties of the TFC membrane were tested by examining the reverse osmosis performances of various conditions, the boron rejection performance and the long-term stability. The results show that the desired TFC seawater reverse osmosis membrane has a typical salt rejection of 99.4% and a flux of about 35 L/m² h for a feed aqueous solution containing 3.5 wt.% NaCl at 5.5 MPa, and an attractive boron rejection of more than 92% at natural pH of 7–8; that the novel seawater reverse osmosis membrane appears to comprise a thicker, smoother and less cross-linking film structure. Additionally, the TFC membrane exhibits good long-term stability.     

Preparation of carbon fibers/carbon/alumina tubular composite membranes and their applications in treating Cu-CMP wastewater by a novel electrochemical process

In this study, the alumina substrate was first prepared by the extrusion method, then followed by poly-vinylydenchloride (PVDC) film wrapping, PVDC carbonization, catalyst precursor coating, and the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process to grow carbon fibers on the carbon interlayer. The carbon fibers/carbon/alumina tubular composite membranes (CCA-TCMs) thus obtained, with a pore size distribution ranging from 2 to 10 nm, were further characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and permporometry. A prepared CCA-TCM of this kind was incorporated into a novel simultaneous crossflow electrocoagulation and electrofiltration (EC/EF) treatment module to evaluate its capability in treating Cu-CMP (chemical mechanical polishing) wastewater. Crossflow EC/EF performance tests were carried out based on the 2³⁻¹ fractional factorial design using the electric field strength, crossflow velocity, and transmembrane pressure (TMP) as the experimental factors. Under the optimal operating conditions, the CCA-TCM associated EC/EF treatment module is capable of treating Cu-CMP wastewater in a proper manner. Permeate thus obtained had a turbidity of below 1 NTU and the removal efficiencies of total solids content, total organic carbon, copper, and silicon for Cu-CMP wastewater were 72%, 81%, 92%, and 87%, respectively.     

Proton and methanol transport behavior of SPEEK/TPA/MCM-41 composite membranes for fuel cell application

This paper reports proton and methanol transport behavior of composite membranes prepared for use in the direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). The composite membranes were prepared by embedding various proportions (10–30 wt.%) of inorganic proton conducting material (tungstophosphoric acid (TPA)/MCM-41) into sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) polymer matrix. The results indicate that the proton conductivity of the membranes increases with increasing loading of solid proton conducting material. The highest conductivity value of 2.75 mS/cm was obtained for the SPEEK composite membrane containing 30 wt.% solid proton conducting material (50 wt.% TPA in MCM-41). The methanol permeability and crossover flux were also found to increase with increasing loading of the solid proton conducting material. Lowest permeability value of 5.7 × 10⁻⁹ cm² s⁻¹ was obtained for composite membrane with 10 wt.% of the solid proton conducting material (40 wt.% TPA in MCM-41). However, all the composite membranes showed higher selectivity (ratio between the proton conductivity and the methanol permeability) compared to the pure SPEEK membrane. In addition, the membranes are thermally stable up to 160 °C. Thus, these membranes have potential to be considered for use in direct methanol fuel cell.
