Interaction behaviour in ultrafiltration of nonionic surfactants Part II. Static adsorption below CMC

Two homologous series of nonionic surfactants, namely Rhom and Haas' tritons (alkylphenol ethoxylates) and Shell dobanols (dobanol ethoxylates) were used to characterize surface properties of ultrafiltration membranes. Static adsorption experiments were carried out to reveal the interactions developed between the membrane and the nonionic surfactant. The surfactant adsorption on the membranes depends on the chemical composition and structure of both the membranes and the surfactants used, as both chemical composition and structure determine the type of interactions controlling this adsorption illustrated on the adsorption isotherms. Distinct different behaviour was exhibited by four types of membranes of the same nominal molecular weight cut-off. The influence of pH and ionic strength was studied also.     

Membrane fouling from ammonia recovery analyzed by ATR-FTIR imaging

The composition of the fouling layer formed during ammonia stripping via membrane distillation from model pig manure and the change in fouling composition as a result of three cleaning procedures was examined using ATR-FTIR imaging and k-means clustering. The use of ATR-FTIR imaging is advantageous as it is a label free technique that provides information on the chemical composition of the fouling as well as a high spatial resolution. The model manure was designed to resemble average Danish pig manure containing representative concentrations of inorganic and organic compounds and particle size distribution similar to the liquid fraction from mechanically separated manure. The fouling layer deposited on polypropylene, PP, and polytetrafluoroethylene, PTFE, membranes were investigated in combination with three cleaning procedures applying deionized water, 1 M NaOH solution followed by a 1 M citric acid solution or Novadan cleaning agents. The spectral data revealed that the fouling layer deposited on both PP and PTFE membranes before cleaning mainly consisted of carbohydrates, protein and lipids. Carboxylates and free fatty acids originating from reactions between NaOH and straw and proteins and lipids, respectively, and lignin were identified in some of the samples. The combination of PTFE membrane and Novadan cleaning agent resulted in the cleanest membranes, as only residual lipids were identified on these samples.     

Transport properties of anion-exchange membranes: Effect of the formation of complexes

Electroconductivity and diffusion permeability of heterogeneous anion-exchange membranes MA-40 and MA-41 are studied in solutions containing copper, nickel, and zinc cations. The composition of species present in the contacting solution is calculated on the basis of conditions of equilibrium and material balance with allowance made for the tendency of these cations to form complexes. It is shown that the reason for the electroconductivity of MA-40 increasing in dilute solutions of transition metal chlorides is the complexing between these cations and functional groups and the resultant increase in the overall positive charge of the polymer matrix. The complexing with ions of copper and zinc in the electromembrane phase reduces the mobility of chloride ions, thus lowering the membranes’ electroconductivity with increasing concentration of equilibrium solutions. The membranes are characterized using a method of determination of the transport properties and structure of the membranes. The method is applied for the first time to the complexing co-ions, with allowance made for variations in their charge and composition.     

Preparation of water and alkali durable porous glass membrane coated on porous alumina tubing by sol-gel method

Composite porous glass membranes were prepared by the sol-gel method. A thin porous glass layer, about 2 μm thick, was coated on the surface of the porous ceramic tubing (Al₂O₃:99.9 wt.%, pore diameter: 200 nm). The composition of the porous glass layer of the composite membrane was SiO₂-ZrO₂. Considering from the fact that the desalination ratio of the feed aqueous NaCl solution (NaCl 0.5 wt.%) was about 90% by use of these membranes, they were defect-free. The best composition of the porous glass layer was 70 SiO₂-30 ZrO₂ from the standpoint of preparing membranes. These membranes had a large water and alkali durability. These membranes can be expected to apply to recovering dyes and paints from organic solvents and to be used as a gas separation membrane.     

Alkaline Zn-air and Al-air cells based on novel solid PVA/PAA polymer electrolyte membranes

High ionic conducting solid polymer electrolyte membranes (SPEM) had been successfully prepared from poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA). The solution casting method yielded highly hydrophilic membranes with uniform structure that were suitable for electrochemical applications. The room temperature ionic conductivity of the alkaline PVA/PAA polymer electrolyte membranes was in the range of 0.142–0.301 S cm⁻¹ depending on the composition. The cyclic voltammetry analysis was carried out using Zn|SPEM|Zn and Al|SPEM|Al cells. The analysis results revealed the excellent electrochemical stability of these newly developed alkaline solid PVA/PAA polymer electrolyte membranes. Metal-air fuel cells were also prepared from the alkaline solid PVA/PAA polymer electrolyte membranes. The electrochemical cell performance was evaluated based on Zn-air and Al-air cells at C/10 and C/5 discharge rates. The experimental results exhibited high percent of utilization for metal powders at room temperature. It was up to 90% for Zn-air cell when assembled with PVA:PAA = 10:7.5 polymer electrolyte membrane and discharged at C/10 rate. The power density could be as high as 50 mW cm⁻² at room temperature. However, the cell percent utilization was reduced to 73% with the same composition electrolyte membrane when C/5 discharge rate was tested.     

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Small Molecules Interacting with Biological Membranes

Cell membranes protect and compartmentalise cells and their organelles. The semi-permeable nature of these membranes controls the exchange of solutes across their structure. Characterising the interaction of small molecules with biological membranes is critical to understanding of physiological processes, drug action and permeation, and many biotechnological applications. This review provides an overview of how molecular simulations are used to study the interaction of small molecules with biological membranes, with a particular focus on the interactions of water, organic compounds, drugs and short peptides with models of plasma cell membrane and stratum corneum lipid bilayers. This review will not delve on other types of membranes which might have different composition and arrangement, such as thylakoid or mitochondrial membranes. The application of unbiased molecular dynamics simulations and enhanced sampling methods such as umbrella sampling, metadynamics and replica exchange are described using key examples. This review demonstrates how state-of-the-art molecular simulations have been used successfully to describe the mechanism of binding and permeation of small molecules with biological membranes, as well as associated changes to the structure and dynamics of these membranes. The review concludes with an outlook on future directions in this field.

Phase inversion sulfonated polysulfone membranes

The use of two nonsolvents serving as a cosolvent system, replacing the traditional volatile solvent plus less volatile nonsolvent system, in the formation of asymmetric phase inversion membranes was investigated. Specifically, asymmetric membranes of sulfonated polysulfone were cast from a cosolvent system consisting of tetrahydrofuran and formamide. The nonsolvents and the proportions in which they are mixed to produce the cosolvent system, as well as the gelation medium isopropyl alcohol, were selected based on the three-component solubility parameter concept of Hansen. The structure of each membrane was evaluated using scanning electron microscopy; the performance was evaluated for use in pressure-driven membrane separation processes. The membranes were found to be dependent on the composition of the original casting solution and the composition of the nascent membrane at the instant of gelation. These ideas are clearly represented through the use of a triangular polymer solubility diagram.
