Advances in Membrane Separation for Biomaterial Dewatering

“…Simultaneously, material properties like the charge density and hydrophilicity also influence the dewatering performance. These parameters control not only the dewatering performance but also the fouling tendency, swelling, chemical and cleaning stability, and lifetime of the membranes. − In the next sections, the contributions of the aforementioned parameters to the dewatering efficiency will be discussed in more detail.…”

Bead-Containing Superhydrophobic Nanofiber Membrane for Membrane Distillation

“…Recently, considerable research efforts have been focused on developing new membranes with high salt rejection efficiency for extended usage. Despite significant advancements in crafting superhydrophobic electrospun membranes for MD applications, challenges remain regarding their durability and robustness, mechanical strength, and ease of manufacturing [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. Recent studies have highlighted that nanofiber membranes or composites incorporating nanoparticles, carbon materials, and bead-formation nanofibers can significantly enhance nanofiber membrane characteristics and performance [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ].…”

Positively Charged Polysulfone and Polyether Sulfone Mixed Matrix Membranes Modified with Polyethylenimine: Enhancing Heavy Metal Rejection and Antifouling Properties

“…A positively charged NF membrane has been prepared by evaporation deposition and the reaction of PEI on the surface of the C-PES/PES blend UF membrane . The hydrophilic properties of the PES/PEI membrane led to improved filtration performance and a smooth surface with excellent protein separation in aqueous media . Surface grafting with PEI involves attaching PEI to the surface of a substrate or material.…”

“…7 The hydrophilic properties of the PES/PEI membrane led to improved filtration performance and a smooth surface with excellent protein separation in aqueous media. 8 Surface grafting with PEI involves attaching PEI to the surface of a substrate or material. PEI has been grafted onto various surfaces using various methods, including grafting with a DA layer, coordination of Fe (III), physiosorbed free-radical initiators, and PEG-PEI graft copolymers.…”
