Polyethersulphone-sodalite (PES-SOD) mixed-matrix membranes: Prospects for acid mine drainage (AMD) treatment

Performance evaluation of iron nanoparticles infused polyethersulphone (Fe‐NPs/PES) membrane during treatment of BTEX‐contaminated wastewater

“…6(b) 20 wt.% Fe-NPs loading displayed the highest tensile strength of 8.94 MPa compared to 0 wt.% loading which gave 1.2 MPa. This confirms the enhanced mechanical strength with increase in nanoparticles loading (Xu et al, 2014;Daramola et al, 2015).…”

“…The use of membrane processes has a significant advantage over adsorption process or any other conventional methods for water treatment because separation of mixtures can be achieved effectively at low energy consumption (Ulbricht, 2006; Daramola et al , 2007; 2012). Amongst the existing polymeric membranes, polyethersulphone (PES) has been used for decades in water and wastewater treatment (Daramola and Adeogun, 2011; Daramola et al , 2015). Its desirable properties include high transition temperature, good chemical resistance and high dimensional stability during fabrication in various conditions.…”

Synthesis and characterization of clay-based ultrafiltration membranes supported on natural zeolite for removal of heavy metals from wastewater

“…Development of economical and effective technology for elimination of heavy metals from drinking water and wastewater has usually been an enormous interest for researchers (Bhattacharya et al,2014). Membrane technology and adsorption are among the most investigated techniques for the wastewater treatment (Kumar et al,2007;Mondal et al,2013;Daramola et al,2015;Chen et al,2017;Quist-Jensen et al,2017;Mathaba and Daramola,2019;Daramola et al,2019;Bareera et al,2020). In the last decade, the separation potential of nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes has been considered as promising processes for the removal of metals and salts of different valences (Quist-Jensen et al,2017).…”

“…Preparation of composite ceramic membranes needs the use of powder having a pore size range commonly below the interval of membrane pore size (Rastgar et al,2017). Nevertheless, the membrane pore size can be reduced via surface modification of the membrane by crosslink age using various polymers (Rameeetse et al, 2019;Mathaba and Daramola,2019); embedding nanoparticles within the polymer matrix (Daramola et al,2015) or coating with nanoparticles as the active layer (Kasemset et al,2017;Wan et al,2017). In this context, a large number of research works has been devoted to the development of new types of inorganic membranes from low cost materials (Aloulou et al,2018) and (Tahri et al,2013).…”

The application of pressure-driven ceramic membrane technology for the treatment of industrial wastewaters – A review

“…Some investigations have been published on wastewater treatment and recovery of heavy metals from the mining effluents by various pressure-driven polymeric UF/NF and RO systems [206][207][208][209][210][211][212][213][214][215][216][217][218][219] , and has shown that polymeric NF and RO have quite similar efficiency in the removal of heavy metals from mining effluent. However, applying polymeric NF due to higher flux, acceptable rejection efficiency and, lower energy consumption was more appropriate than RO at comparatively low-temperatures.…”
