Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are studied for the design of advanced nanocomposite membranes, primarily due to their ultrahigh surface area, regular and highly tunable pore structures, favorable polymer affinity. However, development engineered MOF-based membranes water treatment lags behind. Here, thin-film (TFN) containing poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) modified ZIF-8 (mZIF) in a polyamide (PA) layer were constructed via facile interfacial polymerization (IP) method. The...
Surface zwitterionization of graphene oxide (GO) was firstly conducted by grafting poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (PSBMA) onto the GO surface <italic>via</italic> reverse atom transfer radical polymerization (RATRP).
Inspired by the rational design concept, a novel antimicrobial agent zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8)/graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized and utilized as efficient bactericidal to fabricate thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes via interfacial polymerization. The resultant hybrid nanosheets not only integrates merits of both ZIF-8 GO but also yields uniform dispersion onto simultaneously, thus effectively eliminating agglomeration in active layer membranes. A ZIF-8/GO (TFN-ZG)...
Use of tight ultrafiltration (UF) membranes has created a new pathway in fractionation dye/salt mixtures from textile wastewater for sustainable resource recovery. Unexpectedly, consistently high rejection the dyes with smaller sizes related to pore UF is yielded. The potential mechanism involved this puzzle remains unclear. In study, seven tailored molecular weight cut-offs (MWCOs) 6050 17530 Da were applied separate mixtures. These allowed complete transfer NaCl and Na2SO4, due large...
Two-dimensional nanomaterials are rapidly emerging as promising building blocks for the design of molecular sieving membranes with remarkable separation performance.
Stimulated by the depletion of phosphate resources, recovery systems have been studied in recent years. The use struvite reactors has proven to be an effective process. However, reactor effluent still consists excessive amount that cannot recovered nor can directly discharged. In this study, selectrodialysis (SED) was used improve efficiency from a reactor: SED implemented such way USAB (upflow anaerobic sludge blanket) transferred recycled reactor. Prior experiments, synthetic water with...
