“…The attachment of nanoparticles and polymer matrix tailored the surface chemistry of the composite membrane by altering the morphology and water permeability. The approach of Kumar et al [45,103] was used to fabricate hollow fiber membranes for the removal of arsenic from aqueous media. The authors have blended a binary zinc-magnesium oxide (ZnO-MgO) on cellulose acetate (CA) with PPSU as well as zirconium oxide (ZrO 2 ) with PPSU.…”

Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) membranes are of fundamental importance for many applications such as water treatment, gas separation, energy, electronics, and biomedicine, due to their low cost, controlled crystallinity, chemical, thermal, and mechanical stability. Numerous research studies have shown that modifying surface properties of PPSU membranes influences their stability and functionality. Therefore, the modification of the PPSU membrane surface is a pressing issue for both research and industrial communities. In this review, various surface modification methods and processes along with their mechanisms and performance are considered starting from 2002. There are three main approaches to the modification of PPSU membranes. The first one is bulk modifications, and it includes functional groups inclusion via sulfonation, amination, and chloromethylation. The second is blending with polymer (for instance, blending nanomaterials and biopolymers). Finally, the third one deals with physical and chemical surface modifications. Obviously, each method has its own limitations and advantages that are outlined below. Generally speaking, modified PPSU membranes demonstrate improved physical and chemical properties and enhanced performance. The advancements in PPSU modification have opened the door for the advance of membrane technology and multiple prospective applications.

“…Another promising approach of PPSU membrane modification is an addition of second membrane-forming polymer to PPSU casting solution which yields preparation of blend membranes. PPSU/PES [ 19 , 20 ], PPSU/cellulose acetate derivatives [ 21 , 22 ], PPSU/cellulose acetate [ 23 ], PPSU/polyetherimide [ 25 ], PPSU/PSF [ 26 , 56 ], sulphonated PPSU/polybenzimidazol [ 45 ], PPSU/poly(bisphenol A-co-4-nitrophthalic anhydride-co-1,3- phenylenediamine) (PBNPI) [ 46 ], PPSU/polymer of intrinstic microscopy (PIM) [ 47 ] blend membranes were developed and investigated for ultrafiltration and gas separation. The addition of a second polymer to the casting solution could affect both the physical and the chemical properties of the final membrane.…”

Effect of Polyphenylsulfone and Polysulfone Incompatibility on the Structure and Performance of Blend Membranes for Ultrafiltration

2021

This study deals with the modification of polyphenylsulfone ultrafiltration membranes by introduction of an incompatible polymer polysulfone to the polyphenylsulfone casting solution to improve the permeability. The correlation between properties of the blend polyphenylsulfone/polysulfone solutions and porous anisotropic membranes for ultrafiltration prepared from these solutions was revealed. The blend polyphenylsulfone/polysulfone solutions were investigated using a turbidity spectrum method, optical microscopy and measurements of dynamic viscosity and turbidity. The structure of the prepared blend flat sheet membranes was studied using scanning electron microscopy. Membrane separation performance was investigated in the process of ultrafiltration of human serum albumin buffered solutions. It was found that with the introduction of polysulfone to the polyphenylsulfone casting solution in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone the size of supramolecular particles significantly increases with the maximum at (40–60):(60:40) polyphenylsulfone:polysulfone blend ratio from 76 nm to 196–354 nm. It was shown that polyphenylsulfone/polysulfone blend solutions, unlike the solutions of pristine polymers, are two-phase systems (emulsions) with the maximum droplet size and highest degree of polydispersity at polyphenylsulfone/polysulfone blend ratios (30–60):(70–40). Pure water flux of the blend membranes passes through a maximum in the region of the most heterogeneous structure of the casting solution, which is associated with the imposition of a polymer-polymer phase separation on the non-solvent induced phase separation upon membrane preparation. The application of polyphenylsulfone/polysulfone blends as membrane-forming polymers and polyethylene glycol (Mn = 400 g·mol−1) as a pore-forming agent to the casting solutions yields the formation of ultrafiltration membranes with high membrane pure water flux (270 L·m−2·h−1 at 0.1MPa) and human serum albumin rejection of 85%.

“…Among them, PPSU has attained great attention as an ideal membrane polymer in the field of membrane separation technology with its rigidity, good fluidity, good chemical corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength. However, due to its hydrophobicity, PPSU is prone to membrane fouling, which weakens the separation performance of the membrane, shortens the service life of the membrane and increases operation and maintenance cost of membrane ( Golpour and Pakizeh, 2018 ; Dai et al, 2019 ; Kumar et al, 2021 ). In addition, the traditional membrane separation technology lacked the ability of removing all organic pollutants.…”

Preparation and Characterization of Reduced Graphene Oxide /TiO2 Blended Polyphenylene sulfone Antifouling Composite Membrane With Improved Photocatalytic Degradation Performance

et al. 2021

Nanosized titanium oxide (TiO2)-based photocatalysts have exhibited great potential for the degradation of organic contaminants, while their weak absorption of visible light limits the photocatalytic efficiency. Herein, a novel reduced graphene oxide/TiO2-polyphenylenesulfone (rGO/TiO2-PPSU) hybrid ultrafiltration membrane has been successfully prepared via a non-solvent induced phase-separation method, in which the synergistic coupling between the rGO and TiO2 could endowed the fabricated membranes with visible-light-driven efficient photocatalytically degradation of organic pollutants and outstanding photocatalytic and antifouling properties. Compared with the PPSU membranes prepared with Graphene oxide and TiO2, respectively, the rGO/TiO2-PPSU membrane demonstrated significant photodegradation towards phenazopyridine hydrochloride (PhP) solution under ultraviolet light (improved about 71 and 43%) and visible light (improved about 153 and 103%). The permeability and flux recovery rates of the membrane indicated that the high flux of the rGO/TiO2-PPSU membrane can be greatly restored after fouling, due to the improved self-cleaning properties under visible light static irradiation. With the properties of high performance of photocatalytic degradation and good self-cleaning ability, the rGO/TiO2-PPSU membrane would have great potential in water treatment.
