纳滤膜对电解质溶液分离特性的理论研究(Ⅰ):单一电解质溶液

电解质溶液在纳滤膜中的截留率对于膜法海水淡化和重金属离子的脱除非常重要.本文假定膜具有狭缝状孔,采用扩展Nernst-Planck方程、Donnan平衡模型和Gouy-Chapman理论来描述电解质溶液中离子在膜孔内的传递现象.使用纯水透过系数、膜孔径及膜表面电势来表征纳滤膜的分离特征,这三个参数可通过Levenberg-Marquardt方法由实验数据关联得到.本文使用该模型计算了两种商用纳滤膜(NF45和SU200)对1-1型(NaCl,KCl,LiCl),2-1型(K2SO4)和2-2型(MgSO4)单一电解质溶液的截留率,并与实验数据进行了比较,两者吻合较好.计算结果表明电解质溶液中离子在纳滤膜孔内传递的主要机理是离子的扩散和电迁移,纳滤膜对电解质溶液中离子的分离效果主要由空间位阻和静电效应决定.该模型在低浓度时对电解质溶液通过纳滤膜的截留率计算结果较准确,但对高浓度电解质溶液则偏差较大.

New type of nanofiltration membrane based on crosslinked hyperbranched polymers

Novel nanofiltration (NF) membrane was developed from hydroxyl-ended hyperbranched polyester (HPE) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) by in situ interfacial polymerization process using ultrafiltration polysulfone membrane as porous support. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and water contact angle (CA) measurements were employed to characterize the resulting membranes. The results indicated that the crosslinked hyperbranched polyester produced a uniform, ultra-thin active layer atop polysulfone (PSf) membrane support. FTIR-ATR spectra indicated that TMC reacted sufficiently with HPE. Water permeability and salts rejection of the prepared NF membrane were measured under low trans-membrane pressures. The resulting NF membranes exhibited significantly enhanced water permeability while maintaining high rejection of salts. The salts rejection increase was accompanied with the flux decrease when TMC dosage was increased. The flux and rejection of NF 1 for Na₂SO₄ (1 g/L) reached to 79.1 l/m² h and 85.4% under 0.3 MPa. The results encourage further exploration of NF membrane preparation using hyperbranched polymers (HBPs) as the selective ultra-thin layer.     

Zwitterionic microgel based anti(-bio)fouling smart membranes for tunable water filtration and molecular separation

Tunable gating polymeric nanostructured membrane with excellent water permeability and precise molecular separation is highly advantageous for smart nanofiltration application. Polymeric nanostructures such as microgels with functionalizable cross-linkable moieties can be an excellent choice to construct membranes with a thin separation layer, functionality, and tunable transport properties. In the present work, we prepared switchable anti(bio)fouling membranes using zwitterionically functionalized antibacterial thermoresponsive aqueous core-shell microgels with a thin separation layer for controlled filtration and separation applications. The microgels were synthesized using a one-step graft copolymerization of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) followed by zwitterionization of free amine groups of PEI chains with 1,3-propane sultone. Microgel synthesis and zwitterionization were confirmed by spectroscopic and elemntal analysis. The obtained microgels were thoroughly characterized to analyze their thermoresponsive behavior, morphology, charge, and antibacterial properties. After that, characterizations were performed to elucidate the surface properties, water permeation, rejection, and flux recovery of the microgel membranes prepared by suction filtration over a track-etched support. It was observed that zwitterionic membrane provides better hydrophilicity, lower bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorption, and desirable antimicrobial activity. The pure water permeability was directly related to the microgel layer thickness, applied pressure, and temperature of the feed solution. The novel nanostructured membrane leads to an excellent water permeance with a high gating ratio, high flux recovery rate with low irreversible fouling, better rejection for various dyes, and foulant. Most importantly, the long-term performance of the membrane is appreciable as the microgel layer remains intact and provides excellent separation up to a longer period. Owing to easy preparation and well control over thickness, the zwitterionic microgel membranes constitute unique and interactive membranes for various pressure-driven separation and purification applications.

Preparation of polyelectrolyte multilayer membranes by dynamic layer-by-layer process for pervaporation separation of alcohol/water mixtures

In the past decades, the layer-by-layer (LBL) adsorption of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes has proven to be a promising method for the preparation of polyelectrolyte multilayer membranes. However, to obtain a good separation capability, LBL adsorption involved relatively long periods because 50–60 bilayers were normally required. The aim of this study was to develop such a new method that would allow simplification of the LBL procedure. LBL adsorption was proposed to proceed under a dynamic condition to prepare polyelectrolyte multilayer membranes. The polyacrylic acid (PAA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) were alternatively deposited on polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration support membrane under a pressure of 0.1 MPa. The polyelectrolyte multilayer membranes prepared by dynamic LBL process were compared with those prepared by the static LBL process for the pervaporation separation of water–ethanol mixture. The results suggested that a relatively high separation factor could be obtained with only four composite bilayers by using dynamic LBL process. The preparative conditions including bilayer number, filtration time of the first PAA layer, reaction time, ratio between polayanion and polycation concentrations, PAA molecular weight and salt addition were investigated. The pervaporation conditions such as feed temperature and water concentration in the feed were also evaluated. Under the temperature of 40 °C, the separation factor and the permeate flux of the polyelectrolyte multilayer membranes were about 1207 and 140 g/(m² h), respectively.     

Preparation of silica–alumina composite membranes for hydrogen separation by multi-step pore modifications

In the present paper, a silica–alumina composite membrane for hydrogen separation was prepared within an α-alumina support by the multi-step pore modification. The α-alumina support has an asymmetric structure composed of a thin dense skin layer and a thick coarse layer and the average pore size of its skin layer is 80 nm. The composite membrane layer was formed in the vicinity of the interphase between the two layers of the support by two consecutive steps; namely, in situ silica sol–gel reaction and soaking and vapor deposition. In order to enhance the hydrogen selectivity, palladium (Pd) particles were impregnated in the final step utilizing Pd-acetate as a Pd precursor. Although both silica and Pd induced the surface diffusion, Pd was more effective for selective hydrogen adsorption than silica. This multi-step method produced a porous membrane with moderate hydrogen selectivity and satisfactory hydrogen permeance at high temperature and at high transmembrane pressure. The separation factor of hydrogen relative to nitrogen was maintained at about 10 even when the transmembrane pressure was as high as 110 kPa, and the hydrogen permeance was still much higher than that of non-porous polymeric membranes. In addition, the microstructural distributions of Si and Pd within the intermediate membrane layer were examined by a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and an energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX)     

Effect of reaction conditions on film morphology of polyaniline composite membranes for gas separation

Composite membranes combining polyaniline as an active layer with a polypropylene support have been prepared using an in situ deposition technique. The protonated polyaniline layer with a thickness in the range of 90–200 nm was prepared using precipitation, dispersion, or emulsion polymerization of aniline with simultaneous deposition on top of the porous polypropylene support, which was immersed in the reaction mixture. Variables such as temperature, concentration of reagents, presence of steric stabilizers, surfactants, and heteropolyacid were found to control both the formation and the quality of the polyaniline layers. Both morphology and thickness of the layers were characterized using scanning electron microscopy. Selective separation of carbon dioxide from its mixture with methane is used to illustrate potential application of these composite membranes. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Recovery of anionic surfactant by RO process. Part II. Fabrication of thin film composite membranes by interfacial reaction

A new technique has been established to fabricate thin film composite membranes, by which a hydrophilic polymer could be coated in thin film on a hydrophobic support membrane. The new technique was composed of two steps: dispersion of a reactant to the hydrophilic polymer in the hydrophobic support membrane and interfacial reaction between the reactant and the hydrophilic polymer to produce thin film of the hydrophilic polymer on the support membrane. Composite membranes in which a thin film of sodium alginate is coated on a polysulfone support membrane were prepared by the new technique for the reverse osmosis separation of anionic surfactant–water mixture. Two methods were employed to fabricate a thin film of sodium alginate on the support membrane: (1) dispersion of the crosslinking agent, CaCl₂ alone in the support membrane and (2) dispersion of CaCl₂ in the support membrane with help of PVA which adheres fast to the support membrane. The formation mechanism of the thin layer was suggested schematically on each method. Both the methods could produce successively a thin layer of SA on the support membrane. Especially, method (2) gave a strong bonding of the thin layer on the support because of the large contact area with the support through the PVA layer which sticks fast to the SA layer. From the SEM pictures and permeation experiments, the method (2) was confirmed to be better to produce a defect-free thin film of SA on the support membrane.     

H2 separation using defect-free, inorganic composite membranes

Defect-free, microporous Al(2)O(3)/SAPO-34 zeolite composite membranes were prepared by coating hydrothermally grown zeolite membranes with microporous alumina using molecular layer deposition. These inorganic composite membranes are highly efficient for H(2) separation: their highest H(2)/N(2) mixture selectivity was 1040, in contrast with selectivities of 8 for SAPO-34 membranes. The composite membranes were selective for H(2) for temperatures up to at least 473 K and feed pressures up to at least 1.5 MPa; at 473 K and 1.5 MPa, the H(2)/N(2) separation selectivity was 750. The H(2)/CO(2) separation selectivity was lower than the H(2)/N(2) selectivity and decreased slightly with increasing pressure; the selectivity was 20 at 473 K and 1.5 MPa. The high H(2) selectivity resulted either because most of the pores in the Al(2)O(3) layer were slightly smaller than 0.36 nm (the kinetic diameter of N(2)) or because the Al(2)O(3) layer slightly narrowed the SAPO-34 pore entrance. These composite membranes may represent a new class of inorganic membranes for gas separation.     

PERVAPORATION PROPERTIES OF PDMS MEMBRANES CURED WITH DIFFERENT CROSS-LINKING REAGENTS FOR ETHANOL CONCENTRATION FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS
