Nanofiltration theory: good co-ion exclusion approximation for single salts

We applied an approximate analytic method, the good co-ion exclusion (GCE) approximation, to the hindered electrotransport theory describing salt and solution transport across charged nanofiltration membranes. This approximation, which should be valid at sufficiently low feed electrolyte concentration, leads to a considerable simplification of the exact parametrized equations obtained previously for single salt nanofiltration parameters (salt rejection, electric filtration potential, and volume flux density) and therefore provides further insight into ion transfer in nanoporous membranes. We also established the domain of validity of the GCE approximation as a function of the salt type for 1:1, 2:1, 1:2, and 2:2 salts. Our results for the volume flux density, obtained within an extended GCE approximation, confirm that the global osmotic reflection coefficient in the solution flux equation is not equal to the limiting salt rejection.     

Temperature and concentration effects on electrolyte transport across porous thin-film composite nanofiltration membranes: Pore transport mechanisms and energetics of permeation

The influence of temperature and concentration on nanofilter charge density and electrolyte pore transport mechanisms is reported. Crossflow filtration experiments were performed to measure transport of several electrolytes (NaCl, NaNO3, NaClO4, CaCl2, MgCl2, and MgSO4) across two commercially available thin-film composite nanofiltration membranes in the range 5-41 degrees C. Experiments were also performed with selected salts in the range 1-50 meq/L to quantify concentration effects. Three different approaches, irreversible thermodynamics, extended Nernst-Planck formulation, and theory of rate processes, were employed to interpret retentions of these symmetric and asymmetric electrolytes at varying temperature and concentration. Increasing feed water temperature slightly increased electrolyte reflection coefficients and only weakly increased permeability compared with neutral solutes. Electromigration and convection tended to counteract each other at high fluxes explaining the weak temperature dependence of the reflection coefficient. Changes in membrane surface charge density with temperature were attributed to increased adsorption of electrolytes on the polymer constituting the active layer. Activation energy of permeation for charged solutes was primarily determined by the Donnan potential at the membrane-feed water interface. Electrolyte permeation was shown to be an enthalpy-driven process that resulted in small entropy changes. Increasing sorption capacity with temperature and low sorption energies indicated that co-ion sorption on polymeric membranes was an endothermic physicosorption process, which appears to determine temperature dependence of electrolyte permeation at increased feed concentrations.     

Contribution of convection,diffusion and migration to electrolyte transport through nanofiltration membranes

Transport mechanisms through nanofiltration membranes are investigated in terms of contribution of convection, diffusion and migration to electrolyte transport. A Donnan steric pore model, based on the application of the extended Nernst-Planck equation and the assumption of a Donnan equilibrium at both membrane-solution interfaces, is used. The study is focused on the transport of symmetrical electrolytes (with symmetric or asymmetric diffusion coefficients). The influence of effective membrane charge density, permeate volume flux, pore radius and effective membrane thickness to porosity ratio on the contribution of the different transport mechanisms is investigated. Convection appears to be the dominant mechanism involved in electrolyte transport at low membrane charge and/or high permeate volume flux and effective membrane thickness to porosity ratio. Transport is mainly governed by diffusion when the membrane is strongly charged, particularly at low permeate volume flux and effective membrane thickness to porosity ratio. Electromigration is likely to be the dominant mechanism involved in electrolyte transport only if the diffusion coefficient of coions is greater than that of counterions.     

Study on transmembrane electrical potential of nanofiltration membranes in KCl and MgCl2 solutions

The transmembrane electrical potential (TMEP) across two commercial nanofiltration membranes (ESNA1-K and Filmtec NF) was investigated in KCl and MgCl(2) solutions. TMEP was measured in a wide range of salt concentrations (1-60 mol·m(-3)) and pH values (3-10) at the feed side, with pressure differences in the range of 0.1-0.6 MPa. A two-layer model based on the Nernst-Planck equation was proposed to describe the relation between TMEP and permeation flux. From the pattern of these curves, the information of membrane structure could be deduced. In the concentration range investigated, TMEP in KCl solutions was always positive and decreased as the salt concentration increased. The contribution of the membrane potential to the TMEP decreased. TMEP was greatly affected by the feed pH. When the feed pH increased, the mobility of cations increased, which indicated that the charges of NF membranes were more negative. The zero point of TMEP and the minimum of rejection in KCl solution were consistent and occurred at the isoelectric point of NF membranes, while in MgCl(2) solution the zero point of TMEP located at a higher pH value. The TMEP in MgCl(2) solutions changed its sign at a given concentration, and by calculating the transport number the location of the minimum rejection could be determined.     

Theory of pressure-driven transport of neutral solutes and ions in porous ceramic nanofiltration membranes

Hindered transport theory and homogeneous electro-transport theory are used to calculate the limiting, high volume flux, rejection of, respectively, neutral solutes and binary electrolytes by granular porous nanofiltration membranes. For ceramic membranes prepared from metal oxides it is proposed that the membrane structural and charge parameters entering into the theory, namely the effective pore size and membrane charge density, can be estimated from independent measurements: the pore radius from the measured hydraulic radius using a model of sintered granular membranes and the effective membrane charge density from the hydraulic radius and the electrophoretic mobility measurements on the ceramic powder used to prepare the membrane. The electro-transport theory adopted here is valid when the membrane surface charge density is low enough and the pore radius is small enough for there to be strong electrical double layer overlap in the pores. Within this approximation the filtration streaming potential is also derived for binary electrolytes.     

Influence of steric, electric, and dielectric effects on membrane potential

The membrane potential arising through nanofiltration membranes separating two aqueous solutions of the same electrolyte at identical hydrostatic pressures but different concentrations is investigated within the scope of the steric, electric, and dielectric exclusion model. The influence of the ion size and the so-called dielectric exclusion on the membrane potential arising through both neutral and electrically charged membranes is investigated. Dielectric phenomena have no influence on the membrane potential through neutral membranes, unlike ion size effects which increase the membrane potential value. For charged membranes, both steric and dielectric effects increase the membrane potential at a given concentration but the diffusion potential (that is the high-concentration limit of the membrane potential) is affected only by steric effects. It is therefore proposed that membrane potential measurements carried out at high salt concentrations could be used to determine the mean pore size of nanofiltration membranes. In practical cases, the membrane volume charge density and the dielectric constant inside pores depend on the physicochemical properties of both the membrane and the surrounding solutions (pH, concentration, and chemical nature of ions). It is shown that the Donnan and dielectric exclusions affect the membrane potential of charged membranes similarly; namely, a higher salt concentration is needed to screen the membrane fixed charge. The membrane volume charge density and the pore dielectric constant cannot then be determined unambiguously by means of membrane potential experiments, and additional independent measurements are in need. It is suggested to carry out rejection rate measurements (together with membrane potential measurements).     

Colloido-chemical characteristics of porous glasses with different compositions in KNO3 solutions. 1. Structural and electrokinetic characteristics of membranes

The structural (specific surface area, liquid-filtration coefficient, average pore radius, volume porosity, and structural-resistance coefficient) and electrokinetic (counterion transport numbers, specific electrical conductivity, and electrokinetic potential) characteristics of porous glasses with different compositions have been determined in potassium nitrate solutions with concentrations of 10^?3–10^?1 M. All the membranes under investigation have been shown to exhibit the dependences of efficiency coefficients and counterion transport numbers on electrolyte concentration and pore size that are predicted by the theory of an electrical double layer. It has been established that, at a constant electrolyte concentration, the absolute values of electrokinetic potential increase with the average pore radius because of variations in the slipping-plane position.     

Influence of the counterion and co-ion diffusion coefficient values on some dielectric and electrokinetic properties of colloidal suspensions

The dependences of the conductivity increment, the electrophoretic mobility, and the permittivity increment on the counterion diffusion coefficient value were numerically determined. The use of the network simulation method made it possible to solve the governing equations for the whole range of counterion and co-ion diffusion coefficients and for very low frequencies, despite the far-reaching field-induced charge density outside the double layer. Calculations performed for different zeta potential and electrolyte concentration values show that increasing the counterion mobility, while keeping constant the electrolyte solution conductivity and the kappa a values, strongly increases the conductivity increment, barely affects the electrophoretic mobility, and strongly decreases the permittivity increment. The numerical results are discussed and compared to analytical predictions derived from the Shilov-Dukhin model, which generally leads to a good agreement, at least for high kappa a and moderate zeta.     

Asymmetric bipolar membrane: A tool to improve product purity

Bipolar membranes (BPMs) are catalytic membranes for electro-membrane processes splitting water into protons and hydroxyl ions. To improve selectivity and current efficiency of BPMs, we prepare new asymmetric BPMs with reduced salt leakages. The flux of salt ions across a BPM is determined by the co-ion transport across the respective layer of the membrane. BPM asymmetry can be used to decrease the co-ion fluxes through the membrane and shows that the change of the layer thickness and charge density of the corresponding ion exchange layer determines the co-ion flux. The modification of a commercial BP-1 with a thin additional cation exchange layer on the cationic side results in a 47% lower salt leakage. Thicker layers result in water diffusion limitations. In order to avoid water diffusion limitations we prepared tailor made BPMs with thin anion exchange layers, to increase the water flux into the membrane. Therefore a BPM could be prepared with a thick cation exchange layer showing a 62% decreased salt ion leakage through the cationic side of the membrane.     

Evaluation of the "DSPM" model on a titania membrane: measurements of charged and uncharged solute retention, electrokinetic charge, pore size, and water permeability

The DSPM (Donnan steric partitioning pore model) was evaluated in the case of a titania membrane with "nanofiltration properties" by measuring the electrokinetic charge, pore size, and water permeability of the membrane, along with charged and uncharged solute retention. The zeta potential values (zeta) were determined from measurements of the electrophoretic mobility (EM) of titania powder forming the filtering layer of the membrane. Zeta potential values were converted into membrane volume charge (X) by assuming two limiting cases: a constant surface charge (sigma(s)(cst)) and a constant surface potential (psi(s)(cst)). The mean pore radius and thickness/porosity ratio of the membrane were determined by permporometry and from water permeability measurements, respectively. Retention measurements were carried out as a function of the permeate volume flux for both neutral solutes (polyethylene glycol PEG of different size) and salts (KCl, MgSO4, K2SO4, and MgCl2) at various pH values. Ionic retentions showed minimum values near the IEP of the membrane. Retention data were analyzed using the DSPM. Very good agreement was found between the pore radius calculated by the model and that determined by permporometry. X values calculated from fitting retention data using the DSPM were also in satisfactorily agreement with X values calculated from EM measurements assuming a constant surface potential for a large pH range. Furthermore, the DSPM leads to X values (X(DSPM)) between those calculated from EM (X(EM)) using the two limiting bounds. In other words, X(DSPM) was higher than X(EM) assuming psi(s)(cst) at pH values far from the isoelectric point (IEP) and lower than X(EM) assuming sigma(s)(cst). These results show that the DSPM is in qualitative agreement with the charge regulation theory (increase of the pore surface potential and decrease of the pore surface charge density with decreasing the pore size). On the other hand, the thickness/porosity ratio of the membrane calculated from solute retention data differed significantly from that determined from water permeability measurements. Moreover, a single value of Deltax/Ak could not be determined from PEG and salt retention data. This means that the Deltax/Ak parameter loses its physical meaning and includes physical phenomena which are not taken into account by the DSPM. Nevertheless, the model satisfactorily predicted the limiting retention, as this is not influenced by the Deltax/Ak parameter.
