Wastewater from the tofu industry contains many pollutants that are very harmful to the environment, significantly endangering aquatic life and producing a pungent odor. This study aims to prepare a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane with the additive polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and utilize it to treat tofu wastewater in the ultrafiltration (UF) process. Flat sheet membranes were prepared using PVDF that was dissolved in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) and then combined with the additive material of PVP at the varying compositions of 14.9/0.1, 14.85/0.15, and 14.8/0.2 g of PVDF/gram of PVP. The addition of PVP was proposed to improve the properties of the membranes. Characterization by scanning electron microscope (SEM), water contact angle, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were performed on the PVDF/PVP membrane flat sheet in order to understand and compare changes in the physical and chemical properties that occurred in the membrane. Prior to the UF process, the tofu wastewater was treated by a coagulation–flocculation process through a jar tester using poly aluminum chloride (PAC) as a coagulant. Based on the membrane characterization, the addition of PVP improved the physical and chemical properties of membranes. The pore size of the membrane becomes larger, which could increase permeability as well as the flux value. The TSS and turbidity of the water produced in the UF process decreased with an increase in feed pressure due to a greater driving force generated to facilitate the penetration of the suspended solids. The UF results showed that the effect of PVP on water flux was greatest for the 14.85/0.15 PVDF/PVP membrane for both pure and wastewater. In addition, the highest percentage of rejection for TSS and turbidity were observed in the 14.9/0.1 PVDF/PVP membrane and rejection for TDS was indicated in the 14.8/0.2 PVDF/PVP membrane. Meanwhile, the resulting pH decreased slightly across all samples as feed pressure increased.

“…The treatment of domestic sewage and industrial wastewater by ultrafiltration membrane (UF) technology has been developed rapidly. 11 –15 Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) possess excellent chemical thermodynamic stability, corrosion resistance and semi-crystalline, solute molecules larger than 2∼20 nm can be screened out. 16 –18 However, some key shortcomings, such as membrane fouling, trade-off between permeability and selectivity, have limited the practical application of PVDF membranes.…”

Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) in three particle sizes (40, 70 and 100 nm) was prepared through both solvothermal and hydrothermal methods and employed to decorate polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). The finger-like macro-voids, sponge-like poly-porous morphology and surface roughness of prepared membranes were characterized by SEM and AFM microscopy. The FTIR spectrum and XPS analysis bear out the chemical component. ZIF-8 has the characteristics of higher porosity and appropriate pore size, which is a condition for improving the permeability and pollution resistance of the modified membrane. Results indicated that different ZIF-8s have different enhancement effects on PVDF MMM. 100 nm ZIF-8 membrane possessed pure water flux (PWF) of 350 L m−2h−1, which was 10 times more than the bare membrane (30 L m−2h−1), and OVA flux recovery ration (FRR%) is 98%. 40 nm ZIF-8 membrane owned BSA FRR% of 98.4%. The 70 nm ZIF-8 showed the best mechanical properties. The dynamic contact angles of UP-Z70 ranged from 104.5° to 62.5° within 180 s. Furthermore, pore size distribution, molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) and porosity were also researched to evaluate the MMM. The dislodge of Reactive Black KN-B, Reactive Red 3BS and Reactive Brilliant Blue KN-R dyes by MMM were studied under different dye concentrations and transmembrane pressures. The membrane can provide selective separation methods for dyes and Reactive Brilliant Blue KN-R up to 99%. Overall, the permeability, hydrophilicy, anti-fouling performance and wastewater treatment of modified membranes were regulated by the ZIF-8 in a steerable blending reaction modification process.

Batik wastewater, in general, is colored and has high concentrations of BOD (biological oxygen demand), COD (chemical oxygen demand), and dissolved and suspended solids. Polysulfone (PSf)-based membranes with the addition of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) were prepared to treat batik industrial wastewater. PSf/PVP membranes were prepared using the phase inversion method with N-methyl-2 pyrrolidone (NMP) as the solvent. Based on the membrane characterization through FESEM, water contact angle, porosity, and mechanical tests showed a phenomenon where the addition of PVP provided thermodynamic and kinetic effects on membrane formation, thereby affecting porosity, thickness, and hydrophilicity of the membranes. The study aims to observe the effect of adding PVP on polysulfone membrane permeability and antifouling performance on a laboratory scale through the ultrafiltration (UF) process. With the addition of PVP, the operational pressure of the polysulfone membrane was reduced compared to that without PVP. Based on the membrane filtration results, the highest removal efficiencies of COD, TDS (total dissolved solid), and conductivity achieved in the study were 80.4, 84.6, and 83.6%, respectively, on the PSf/PVP 0.35 membrane operated at 4 bar. Moreover, the highest color removal efficiency was 85.73% on the PSf/PVP 0.25 operated at 5 bar. The antifouling performance was identified by calculating the value of total, reversible, and irreversible membrane fouling, wherein in this study, the membrane with the best antifouling performance was PSf/PVP 0.25.
