BACKGROUND Silica coated magnetite nanoparticles (SCMNPs) were synthesized via a co‐precipitating method and functionalized with carboxylic acid and percarboxylic acid groups for the preparation of microporous polyethersulfone (PES) nanocomposite membranes and used in bovine serum albumin (BSA) and dye separation. There is no published report about the use of this nanoparticle in the preparation of mixed matrix membranes. RESULTS Different concentrations of these nanoparticles were used. The 0.5 wt% SCMNPs‐COOOH NPs–PES membrane had the lowest irreversible fouling resistance (Rir) value (8.33%) and the highest FRR value (91.7%), suggesting that the prepared mixed matrix membrane is easily recovered by water washing. The introduction of percarboxylic acid groups has a positive impact on rejection of the three dyes (Rhodamine B, Direct Black 38, Reactive Green 19), and all membranes presented rejections of more than 90% due to improved electrostatic repulsion between the dye and the membrane surface by incorporation of the nanoparticles. CONCLUSION The membranes modified by SCMNPs‐COOOH had significantly higher permeability and BSA solution flux compared with the bare PES membrane. The nanocomposite membranes had enhanced hydrophilicity because of water affinity enhancement of the membrane surface due to the presence of hydrophilic nanoparticles. It is concluded that SCMNPs‐COOOH nanoparticles could be an ideal additive to modify PES membrane for water filtration applications. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry

“…The influence of the addition of nanomaterials into polymer membranes on their properties, such as porosity, hydrophilicity and surface charge, which in turn affect the permeability, has already been presented in the literature. Nasrollahi et al 66 observed an improvement of permeability and antifouling properties due to the increase of hydrophilicity and porosity of PES UF membranes modified with amine-functionalized CuO and ZnO NPs. Also Liu et al 3 noticed better permeability and antifouling properties due to an increase in porosity and hydrophilicity of PES UF membranes modified with sulfonated hyperbranched PES-functionalized HNTs.…”

BACKGROUND: One of the main drawbacks of membrane processes is (bio)fouling. Recent attempts to overcome these phenomena focus on incorporation of nanoparticles into polymeric membrane matrices. This paper presents an investigation of the influence of modification of polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration membranes with Ag/titanate nanotubes (Ag/TNTs) on physicochemical characteristics, water permeability and antifouling and antibacterial properties.RESULTS: The modified membranes were prepared via a wet phase inversion method by adding 0.1-1.5 wt% of Ag/TNTs relative to PES into the casting solution. An increase of water permeability with increasing Ag/TNTs content up to 1 wt% was found. The modification contributed to fouling mitigation during ultrafiltration of humic acids solution due to (i) improved hydrophilicity, (ii) presence of Ag/TNTs turbulence promoters and (iii) negative surface charge of the membranes. A correlation between membrane surface roughness, zeta potential and proneness to fouling is discussed. The highest inhibition of bacterial growth, reaching 99.8 and 99.3% for Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis, respectively, was observed at the highest Ag/TNTs content. CONCLUSIONS:The introduction of Ag/TNTs into PES membrane structures improved membrane permeability, fouling resistance and antibacterial properties. The most significant improvement was observed in the case of membranes containing the largest quantities of Ag/TNTs. density of polyethersulfone (g mL −1 ) w density of water at 20 ∘ C (g mL −1 )

Copper-Modified Polymeric Membranes for Water Treatment: A Comprehensive Review

In the last decades, the incorporation of copper in polymeric membranes for water treatment has received greater attention, as an innovative potential solution against biofouling formation on membranes, as well as, by its ability to improve other relevant membrane properties. Copper has attractive characteristics: excellent antimicrobial activity, high natural abundance, low cost and the existence of multiple cost-effective synthesis routes for obtaining copper-based materials with tunable characteristics, which favor their incorporation into polymeric membranes. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the progress made in the area regarding modified membranes for water treatment when incorporating copper. The notable use of copper materials (metallic and oxide nanoparticles, salts, composites, metal-polymer complexes, coordination polymers) for modifying microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF), forward osmosis (FO) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes have been identified. Antibacterial and anti-fouling effect, hydrophilicity increase, improvements of the water flux, the rejection of compounds capacity and structural membrane parameters and the reduction of concentration polarization phenomena are some outstanding properties that improved. Moreover, the study acknowledges different membrane modification approaches to incorporate copper, such as, the incorporation during the membrane synthesis process (immobilization in polymer and phase inversion) or its surface modification using physical (coating, layer by layer assembly and electrospinning) and chemical (grafting, one-pot chelating, co-deposition and mussel-inspired PDA) surface modification techniques. Thus, the advantages and limitations of these modifications and their methods with insights towards a possible industrial applicability are presented. Furthermore, when copper was incorporated into membrane matrices, the study identified relevant detrimental consequences with potential to be solved, such as formation of defects, pore block, and nanoparticles agglomeration during their fabrication. Among others, the low modification stability, the uncontrolled copper ion releasing or leaching of incorporated copper material are also identified concerns. Thus, this article offers modification strategies that allow an effective copper incorporation on these polymeric membranes and solve these hinders. The article finishes with some claims about scaling up the implementation process, including long-term performance under real conditions, feasibility of production at large scale, and assessment of environmental impact.
