“…The preparation of mixed-matrix membranes from ulvan, crosslinkers, and inorganic fillers also should be explored. In-depth investigation is required to explore ulvan as a potential membrane in various separation processes, such as micro- and ultrafiltration, pervaporation, and gas separation [ 91 , 92 , 93 ].…”

This short review analyzed the recent trend towards, progresses towards the preparation of chemicals of, and value-added biomaterials from marine macroalgae resources, especially green seaweeds and their derived ulvan polysaccharides for various applications. In recent years, ulvan both in pristine and modified forms has gained a large amount of attention for its effective utilization in various areas due to its unique physiochemical properties, lack of exploration, and higher green seaweed production. The pristine form of ulvan (sulfated polysaccharides) is used as a bio-component; food ingredient; or a raw material for the production of numerous chemicals such as fuels, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, whereas its modified form is used in the sector of composites, membranes, and scaffolds, among others, because of its physicochemical properties. This review highlights the utilization of green seaweed and its derived ulvan polysaccharides for the preparation of numerous chemicals (e.g., solvents, fuel, and gas) and also value-added biomaterials with various morphologies (e.g., gels, fibers, films, scaffolds, nanomaterials, and composites).

“…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. 19,20 In membrane separation, the selectivity is a measure of the ability of a membrane to separate the dyes, which is dependent on the pore size of the membrane.…”

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.

“…To obtain the desirable attributes of a single composite, (i.e., flexibility, processability, high selectivity for polarizable/non-polar gas separation, and the mechanical strength and thermal stability of CNT) of Pebax-1657, the authors of results reported in References [ 92 , 97 , 100 ] used different techniques, such as solution casting method and solvent evaporation method, where they disperse the functionalized MWCNTs in solvents and then mix them with the polymeric base by ultrasonic technique. For example, Reference [ 101 ] prepared MMMs by using the solution-casting method and solvent evaporation method. Pebax pellets (0.8 g) were dissolved in the ethanol-and-water mixed solvent (12 mL, mass ratio of 7:3), with stirring at 80 °C for 4 h. The MWCNTs–ZIF-8 were added into another ethanol-and-water mixed solvent (11.5 mL, mass ratio of 7:3) with ultra-sonication and stirring.…”

Review: Mixed-Matrix Membranes with CNT for CO2 Separation Processes

et al. 2021

The membranes’ role is of supreme importance in the separation of compounds under different phases of matter. The topic addressed here is based on the use of membranes on the gases separation, specifically the advantages of mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) when using carbon nanotubes as fillers to separate carbon dioxide (CO2) from other carrier gas. MMMs consist of a polymer support with additive fillers to improve their efficiency by increasing both selectivity and permeability. The most promising fillers in the MMM development are nanostructured molecules. Due to the good prospects of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as MMM fillers, this article aims to concentrate the advances and developments of CNT–MMM to separate gases, such as CO2. The influence of functionalized CNT or mixtures of CNT with additional materials such as zeolites, hydrogel and, graphene sheets on membranes performance is highlighted in the present work.
