Graphene oxide/multi‐walled carbon nanotubes nanocompsite polyamide nanofiltration membrane for dyeing‐printing wastewater treatment

Abstract

Graphene oxide (GO)/multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) modified nanofiltration (NF) membranes were successfully fabricated by interfacial polymerization of piperazine (PIP) and 1,3,5‐benzenetricarbonyl trichloride (TMC). Compared with the pristine polyamide (PA) membrane and GO membrane, the typical structure of the granular protrusions on the surface of the GO/MWCNTs membrane gradually disappeared, and a regular ordered morphology appeared. The membrane thickness and surface roughness were increased according to the results of field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The contact angle of GO/MWCNTs NF membranes progressively decreased from 57° to 23°, indicating the enhancement of surface hydrophilicity. The best NF performance was achieved when the ratio of GO to MWCNTs was 6:3 (G‐M‐3). The water flux was 55.6 L/m2.h, which was 33.7% higher than that of the GO membrane, and the rejection rate for Na2SO4 was maintained at approximately 94%. Both modified NF membranes could treat actual dyeing‐printing wastewater effectively. The anti‐fouling performance of G‐M‐3 was better than that of G3. Therefore, GO/MWCNTs‐modified NF membranes have a good application prospects in the field of wastewater treatment and water purification.

Drug-Loaded Carbon Nanotube Incorporated in Nanofibers: A Multifunctional Nanocomposite for Smart Chronic Wound Healing

“…Increasing the hydrophilicity of the nanofibers allows water molecules to be absorbed by nanofiber mats, and it is generally accepted that the rougher a hydrophilic material, the greater its hydrophilicity. The hydrophilicity of the nanofibers was improved by the incorporation of CMWCNT, which raised the surface roughness …”

Preparation of spunlaced viscose/PANI-ZnO/GO fiber membrane and its performance of photocatalytic decolorization

“…Especially for these organic pollutants, including methylene blue (MB), methyl orange (MO), and Rhodamine B (RhB), they have caused serious harm to the environment and human health. 1,2 Therefore, it is essential to develop effective and harmless technology for degradation of organic pollutant. The common approaches of wastewater treatment are photocatalytic degradation, chemical oxidation, electrochemical oxidation, and biodegradation.…”

Urchin-like hollow SiO2@γ-MnO2 microparticles for the rapid degradation of organic dyes

“…According to statistics, the current discharge accounts for 35% of total industrial wastewater, and contains a large number of complex components such as dyes, pulp, surfactants, and alkali agents. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Generally, the removal of organic pollutants in dye wastewater can be divided into physical methods and oxidation methods. However, the physical methods do not destroy the organic pollutant molecules themselves, which needs further follow-up treatment and may cause secondary pollution.…”
