Biobased membranes made with green solvents have numerous advantages in the water purification industry; however, their long-term use is impeded by severe membrane fouling and low structural stability. Herein, we proposed a facile approach to fabricate an eco-friendly biodegradable electrospun simply blending polycaprolactone (PCL) sulfonated kraft lignin (SKL) solvent (i.e., acetic acid) without needing any additional post-treatment. We investigated influence of SKL content on surface...
Exploring environmentally friendly, renewable, and cost-effective raw materials is essential in sustainable membrane fabrication. This study presents a facile scalable method for fabricating green biodegradable tight ultrafiltration dye/salt separation. involves simply blending polycaprolactone (PCL) with the low-cost biobased sulfonated kraft lignin (SKL) additive. Additionally, we employed acetic acid as alternative solvent to enhance sustainability of fabrication process. The...
Positively and negatively charged membranes are obtained by simply changing the mixing ratio of polyelectrolytes in a fully aqueous preparation approach. This leads to selective retention asymmetric salts new membrane tuning parameter.
In this study, a series of polyamide membranes with improved water permeability and thermal stability for forward osmosis applications were synthesized the main objective tuning chemical structure layer to enhance its resistance at higher temperatures. Constructing an interlayer over substrate thin-film composite is promising approach have better control synthesis thin smooth selective layer. Polyamide equipped polydopamine/graphene oxide interlayers fabricated. To membranes, composition was...
The efficient separation of oil/water mixtures by membrane technology is highly dependent on the performance materials. emergence electrospinning has opened up opportunities for designing super porous structures with excellent efficiency. Herein, we prepared electrospun nanofibrous membranes using a hydrophilic and thermomechanically stable polyamide-imide (PAI) polymers. fabricated set optimized processes were examined in gravity-driven various emulsions. effect polymer concentration fiber...
Globally, energy crisis focusses on the researchers to explore innovative and alternative sources of energy. This tribulation has acute for developing countries. Generation any kind waste is a vital problem environment. Some wastes have characteristics producing by different thermochemical conversions. Inaugurate using plastics curtailed many problems in our daily life. Waste are assessed as harmful things when it thrown into landfill because their non-degradable property. Plastic becoming...

Polyamide thin film composite (TFC) membranes are the most common nanofiltration and reverse osmosis for wastewater treatment desalination. Even though polyamide excel in these applications, they can be fouled easily. In this work, we used an alternative approach applications: polyester made via interfacial polymerization of terephthaloyl chloride (TPC) sulfonated kraft lignin (SKL). The novel TFC had much higher negative surface charges than a reference membrane, helping them reject...
We present the synthesis of polyamide membranes with improved water permeability and thermal stability for forward osmosis applications. Constructing an interlayer over substrate thin film composite is a promising approach to have better control smooth selective layer. fabricated series equipped polydopamine/graphene oxide interlayer. To enhance membranes, layer chemical composition was modified by amine monomer: triaminopyrimidine. The presence made smoother thinner. Triaminopyrimidine...
