High-performance mixed-matrix membranes with altered interfacial and surface chemistry through benign reinforcement of functionalized carbon nanotubes of different configurations

Abstract: IntroductionNanotechnology, with tremendous versatility and unprecedented opportunities, has ubiquitously gained the recognition in enhancing the sustainability of membrane-based water treatment processes [1,2]. The promising synergistic effects of nano-and membrane technologies provide tangible ways to develop mixed-matrices with tunable functional features, which can make the membrane separation process more productive, energy-efficient, and environmental-friendly. Amongst the nanomaterials, the carbon nanot… Show more

“…The recovered normalized flux was observed to be 6% higher than that of TFC membrane after physical cleaning. As underpinned in other studies, favorable membrane changes by CNTs have proven to improve the level of separation performance with great membrane stability [4,121,167].…”

“…Blending is by far the simplest and most efficient method to change the chemical and mechanical functionalities of the membrane [120], but for polymers, it has limited applicability, which is principally attributed to their limited miscibility of hydrophobic and hydrophilic polymers. Polymer blend is a process where two organic polymers blend in a homogeneous dope solution in the presence of a solvent and/or an additive under mild conditions [66,121,122]. It is conducted to obtain a membrane with desirable morphologies and performance by controlling both the thermodynamics of the casting solution and the kinetics of the demixing process.…”
