“…Recent studies clearly indicate that organic polymers are more suitable starting materials for the industrial grade membrane synthesis due to their ease of fabrication and remarkable properties [5]. These organic polymers include polysulfone [6,7], polyethersulfone [8][9][10], polyvinylidene fluoride [11,12] and cellulose acetate [13,14].…”

Polyethersulfone -barium chloride blend ultrafiltration membranes for dye removal studies Rambabu K, Srivatsan N, and Anand V P Gurumoorthy Department of Chemical Engineering, School of Civil and Chemical Engineering, Centre for BioMaterials , Cellular and Molecular Theranautics, VIT University, Vellore -632014, Tamil Nadu, India.Email: rambabu.k@vit.ac.in Abstract.A series of Polyethersulfone (PES) -barium chloride (BaCl 2 ) blend ultra filtration membrane was developed by varying the BaCl 2 concentration in the dope solution. Prepared membranes were subjected to membrane characterization and their performance was studied through dye rejection tests. Morphological studies through SEM and AFM showed that the composite membranes exhibited differences in morphologies, porosities and properties due to the BaCl 2 addition as compared with pristine PES membrane. Addition of the inorganic modifier enhanced the hydrophilicity and water permeability of the blend membrane system. Polymer enhanced ultrafiltration of dye solutions showed that the proposed blend system had better performance in terms of flux and rejection efficiency than the pure polymer membrane. The performance of the 2 wt% BaCl 2 blend membrane was more promising for application to real time dye wastewater studies.

In this study, a facile polypiperazine-amide (PPA) composite nanofiltration (NF) membrane with nanomaterial graphene oxide (GO) incorporated into a polyamide (PA) layer for high water flux and anti-fouling was fabricated by interfacial polymerization (IP). The chemical composition, structure and surface properties of the fabricated PPA/GO and PPA composite NF membranes were characterized by FTIR, XPS, FE-SEM, AFM, zeta-potential and contact angle measurements. The separation properties and anti-fouling ability of the PPA/GO NF membrane were investigated and discussed. The experimental results indicated that the water flux of the PPA/GO (300 mgunder the operating pressure of 0.6 MPa, almost 1.4 times that of the PPA (without GO) membrane.However, the high salt rejection was still retained in the order of Na 2 SO 4 (98.2%) > MgSO 4 (96.5%) > NaCl (56.8%) > MgCl 2 (50.5%). An anti-fouling test revealed that the PPA/GO membrane had excellent antifouling properties due to the enhanced hydrophilicity and decreased roughness induced by the GO nanosheets. Thus, the PPA/GO membrane can be efficiently and endurably applied in water purification.

“…Thus, it is necessary to improve the hydrophilicity of PVDF membrane through chemical or physical modifications,surface grafting polymerization, coating, or blending with a hydrophilic polymer [3]. Among these methods, blending with inorganic materials, especially nanoparticles has attracted much interest due to its simple operation and efficiency in enhancing the performance of the hydrophobic membranes in designing new materials [4]. In this regard, montmorillonite is one of the most familiar natural clay used in the preparation of polymer clay nanocomposite membrane because of its ability to be dispersed in the polymeric matrices at nanoscopic level [5] and only a small amount of this material is needed in the fabrication of nanocomposite membrane [6].…”
