Nanoparticle-embedded nanofibers in highly permselective thin-film nanocomposite membranes for forward osmosis

Journal Article Bui, Nhu-Ngoc ; McCutcheon, Jeffrey R. - Journal of Membrane Science

Here we report a scalable approach to fabricate osmotic membranes with high permselectivity based on nanocomposite of mesoporous silica nanoparticles and nanofibers by electrospinning. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images provide visualization of dispersed and clustered nanoparticles embedding within or at the surface of nanofibers. Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) point analysis confirms the chemical identity of the nanocomposite structure. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analyses show a 75-fold increase in specific surface area when 15% of silica nanoparticles were integrated into polyacrylonitrile nanofibrous mats. Mechanical strength tests show that even at high load of silica nanoparticles, e.g. 15 wt%, the mechanical integrity of the membranesmore »« less

Novel graphene quantum dots (GQDs)-incorporated thin film composite (TFC) membranes for forward osmosis (FO) desalination

Journal Article Xu, Shengjie ; Li, Feng ; Su, Baowei ; ... - Desalination

This paper reports a novel class of thin film composite (TFC) membranes for forward osmosis (FO) desalination. The TFC membranes were fabricated via interfacial polymerization (IP) of aqueous mixture of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with organic solution of trimesoyl chloride (TMC) on modified polyacrylonitrile (PAN) ultrafiltration substrates. The chemical structures and morphologies of the synthesized GQDs and the GQDs-incorporated membranes were studied by various characterization techniques. The synthesized GQDs exhibited a narrow size distribution of 1.0–4.0 nm with an average size of 2.19 nm, and the thickness were one to three graphene layers. The results showed thatmore »« less

Reverse osmosis performance of modified polyvinyl alcohol thin-film composite membranes

Journal Article Lang, K ; Chowdhury, G ; Matsuura, T ; ... - Journal of Colloid and Interface Science; (United States)

Membrane separation characteristics in the nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) regions of the filtration spectrum are governed by a complex combination of both steric hindrance and surface force interactions. NF and RO membranes having surface charges show unusual selectivity behavior not predicted on the basis of physical pore size alone. Hence, practical characterizations should employ techniques to gain insight on membrane function. In this work, the separation characteristics of an anionically charged modified polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) thin-film composite membrane under different operating pressures were investigated. A qualitative measurement of the surface force interactions between solutes and membrane polymer wasmore »« less
