The reverse osmosis water treatment process is prone to fouling issues, prompting the exploration of various membrane modification techniques to address this challenge. The primary objective of this study was to develop a precise method for modifying the surface of reverse osmosis membranes to enhance their antifouling properties. The Langmuir-Blodgett technique was employed to transfer aminated graphene oxide films assembled at the air-liquid interface, under specific surface pressure conditions, to the polyamide surface with pre-activated carboxylic groups. The microstructure and distribution of graphene oxide along the modified membrane were characterized using SEM, AFM, and Raman mapping techniques. Modification carried out at the optimal surface pressure value improved the membrane hydrophilicity and reduced the surface roughness, thereby enhancing the antifouling properties against colloidal fouling. The flux recovery ratio after modification increased from 65% to 87%, maintaining high permeability. The modified membranes exhibited superior performance compared to the unmodified membranes during long-term fouling tests. This membrane modification technique can be easily scaled using the roll-to-roll approach and requires minimal consumption of the modifier used.

反渗透水处理过程容易产生污垢问题,这促使人们探索各种膜改性技术来应对这一挑战。本研究的主要目的是开发一种精确的方法来改性反渗透膜的表面,以增强其防污性能。研究人员采用 Langmuir-Blodgett 技术,在特定的表面压力条件下,将组装在气液界面上的胺化氧化石墨烯薄膜转移到带有预活化羧基的聚酰胺表面。利用扫描电镜、原子力显微镜和拉曼图谱技术对改性膜的微观结构和氧化石墨烯的分布进行了表征。在最佳表面压力值下进行的改性提高了膜的亲水性,降低了表面粗糙度,从而增强了抗胶体污垢的性能。改性后的通量回收率从 65% 提高到 87%,同时保持了高渗透性。与未改性膜相比,改性膜在长期污垢测试中表现出更优越的性能。这种膜改性技术可以通过卷对卷的方法轻松实现规模化,而且所需的改性剂消耗量极少。

Hydrotalcite exhibits the capability to adsorb CO2 at elevated temperatures. High surface area and favorable coating properties are essential to harness its potential for practical applications. Stable alcohol-based dispersions are needed for thin film applications of mixed membranes containing hydrotalcite. Currently, producing such dispersions without the need for delamination and dispersing agents is a challenging task. This work introduces, for the first time, a manufacturing approach to overcoming the drawbacks mentioned above. It includes a synthesis of hydrotalcite nanoparticles, followed by agent-free delamination of their layers and final dispersion into alcohol without dispersing agents. Further, the hydrotalcite-derived sorption agent is dispersed in a matrix based on organo-silica gels derived from 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane (BTESE). The analytical results indicate that the interconnection between hydrotalcite and BTESE-derived gel occurs via forming a strong hydrogen bonding system between the interlayer species (OH groups, CO32-) of hydrotalcite and oxygen and silanol active gel centers. These findings lay the foundation for applications involving incorporating hydrotalcite-like compounds into silica matrices, ultimately enabling the development of materials with exceptional mass transfer properties. In part 2 of this study, the gas separation performance of the organo-silica and the hydrotalcite-like materials and their combined form will be investigated.

水滑石具有在高温下吸附二氧化碳的能力。要将其潜力用于实际应用,高表面积和良好的涂层特性至关重要。含有氢滑石的混合膜的薄膜应用需要稳定的醇基分散体。目前,生产这种不需要分层剂和分散剂的分散体是一项具有挑战性的任务。这项研究首次提出了一种克服上述缺点的生产方法。该方法包括合成氢滑石纳米颗粒,然后在不使用分散剂的情况下对其层进行无剂分层并最终分散到酒精中。此外,水滑石衍生吸附剂分散在由 1,2-双(三乙氧基硅基)乙烷(BTESE)衍生的有机硅凝胶基质中。分析结果表明,水滑石与 BTESE 衍生凝胶之间的相互连接是通过在水滑石的层间物种(OH 基团、CO32-)与氧和硅醇活性凝胶中心之间形成一个强大的氢键系统而实现的。这些发现为在二氧化硅基质中加入类水铝石化合物的应用奠定了基础,最终使具有优异传质特性的材料得以开发。本研究的第二部分将研究有机硅和类氢滑石材料及其组合形式的气体分离性能。

A conventional hydrocyclones is a versatile equipment with a high processing capacity and low maintenance cost. Currently, several studies aim to alter the typical structure of the conventional hydrocyclone in order to modify its performance and purpose. For this, filtering hydrocyclones have emerged, where a porous membrane replaces the conic or cylindrical wall. During the operation of this equipment, in addition to the traditionally observed streams (feed, underflow, and overflow), there is a liquid stream resulting from the filtration process, commonly referred to as filtrate. This work proposes to numerically investigate the solid particle/liquid water separation process in a filtering hydrocyclone using the commercial software Ansys CFX® 15.0. The proposed mathematical model for the study considers three-dimensional, steady state and turbulent flow, using the Eulerian-Eulerian approach and the Shear Stress Transport (SST) turbulence model. This study presents and analyzes the volume fraction, velocity, and pressure fields, along with flowlines and velocity profiles. The results indicate that the proposed model effectively captures the fluid dynamic behavior within the filtering hydrocyclone, highlighting higher pressures near the porous membrane and a higher concentration of solid particles in the conical region, with water being more concentrated in the cylindrical part of the hydrocyclone. Additionally, the findings show that the volumetric flow rate of the filtrate significantly influences the internal flow dynamics, with conventional hydrocyclones demonstrating higher pressure gradients compared to the proposed filtering hydrocyclone.

传统水力旋流器是一种多功能设备,具有处理能力强、维护成本低的特点。目前,一些研究旨在改变传统水力旋流器的典型结构,以改变其性能和用途。为此,出现了过滤式水力旋流器,用多孔膜代替锥形或圆柱形壁。在这种设备的运行过程中,除了传统观察到的液流(进料、底流和溢流)外,还有过滤过程中产生的液流,通常称为滤液。本研究拟使用商业软件 Ansys CFX® 15.0 对过滤式水力旋流器中的固体颗粒/液体水分离过程进行数值研究。研究中提出的数学模型考虑了三维、稳态和湍流,采用了欧拉-欧拉方法和剪应力传输(SST)湍流模型。本研究介绍并分析了体积分数、速度和压力场,以及流线和速度剖面。结果表明,所提出的模型能有效捕捉过滤水力旋流器内的流体动力学行为,突出显示多孔膜附近的压力较高,锥形区域的固体颗粒浓度较高,水在水力旋流器的圆柱形部分浓度较高。此外,研究结果表明,滤液的体积流量对内部流动动力学有显著影响,与拟议的过滤式水力旋流器相比,传统水力旋流器显示出更高的压力梯度。

Microplastics (MPs), which are defined as plastics with a size of less than 5 mm, cannot be treated completely in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and discharged to a water body because they are too small in size. It has been reported that MPs can have adverse effects on human beings and water ecosystems. There is a need to combine existing drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) and WWTPs with the traditional treatment process and technology with high removal efficiency of MPs or to develop a new technology to separate MPs from water and wastewater. In this study, the effects of MPs (polyethylene (PE), 125 μm) and organic matter (humic acid) were researched in a hybrid treatment process of ceramic microfiltration (MF) and photocatalyst (TiO2)-mounted polyether sulfone (PES) spheres with air backwashing. The roles of the MF, photooxidation, and adsorption of PES spheres were confirmed in a single MF process (MF), an MF process with UV irradiation (MF+UV), MF and PES sphere adsorption without UV irradiation (MF+PES), and a hybrid process incorporating MF and PES spheres with UV irradiation (MF+PES+UV). The impact of the air backwashing cycle (filtration time, FT) on filtration characteristics and treatment efficiencies in the hybrid process was studied. In the MF process, membrane fouling increased with increasing organic matter (HA, humic acid). The treatment efficiency of MPs increased; however, that of dissolved organic matter (DOM) decreased with increasing HA. As MPs increased, the membrane fouling decreased; however, total filtration volume (VT) remained almost constant. The treatment efficiency of MPs increased a little, and that of DOM showed a dropping trend. In the hybrid process, the membrane fouling was controlled via the adsorption and UV photooxidation of the PES spheres, and the DOM treatment efficiency increased by combining processes from MF to MF+PES+UV. The optimal FT was 10 min at BT 10 s in this hybrid process. The results could be applied to separate MPs effectively in DWTPs/WWTPs.

微塑料(MPs)是指尺寸小于 5 毫米的塑料,由于尺寸太小,无法在污水处理厂(WWTPs)中完全处理并排放到水体中。据报道,MPs 会对人类和水生态系统造成不利影响。因此,有必要将现有的饮用水处理厂(DWTP)和污水处理厂与传统的处理工艺和技术相结合,以实现对 MPs 的高效去除,或者开发一种新技术,将 MPs 从水和废水中分离出来。本研究研究了陶瓷微滤(MF)和光催化剂(TiO2)安装的聚醚砜(PES)球体与空气反冲洗的混合处理工艺对 MPs(聚乙烯(PE),125 μm)和有机物(腐植酸)的影响。在单一微滤工艺(MF)、带有紫外线照射的微滤工艺(MF+UV)、不带有紫外线照射的微滤和聚醚砜球吸附工艺(MF+PES)以及带有紫外线照射的微滤和聚醚砜球混合工艺(MF+PES+UV)中,确认了微滤、光氧化和聚醚砜球吸附的作用。在混合工艺中,研究了空气反冲洗周期(过滤时间,FT)对过滤特性和处理效率的影响。在 MF 工艺中,膜污垢随着有机物(HA、腐殖酸)的增加而增加。MPs 的处理效率提高了,但溶解有机物(DOM)的处理效率却随着 HA 的增加而降低。随着 MPs 的增加,膜污垢减少;但总过滤量(VT)几乎保持不变。MPs 的处理效率略有提高,而 DOM 的处理效率呈下降趋势。在混合工艺中,通过 PES 球体的吸附和紫外光氧化作用控制了膜污垢,并通过从 MF 到 MF+PES+UV 的组合工艺提高了 DOM 的处理效率。在这种混合工艺中,最佳的 FT 为 10 分钟,BT 为 10 秒。该结果可用于有效分离污水处理厂/污水处理厂中的 MPs。

Lipids have not traditionally been considered likely candidates for catalyzing reactions in biological systems. However, there is significant evidence that aggregates of amphiphilic compounds are capable of catalyzing reactions in synthetic organic chemistry. Here, we demonstrate the potential for the hydrophobic region of a lipid bilayer to provide an environment suitable for catalysis by means of a lipid aggregate capable of speeding up a chemical reaction. By bringing organic molecules into the nonpolar or hydrophobic region of a lipid bilayer, reactions can be catalyzed by individual or collections of small, nonpolar, or amphiphilic molecules. We demonstrate this concept by the ester hydrolysis of calcein-AM to produce a fluorescent product, which is a widely used assay for esterase activity in cells. The reaction was first carried out in a two-phase octanol-water system, with the organic phase containing the cationic amphiphiles cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) or octadecylamine. The octanol phase was then replaced with phospholipid vesicles in water, where the reaction was also found to be carried out. The reaction was monitored using quantitative fluorescence, which revealed catalytic turnover numbers on a scale of 10-7 to 10-8 s-1 for each system, which is much slower than enzymatic catalysis. The reaction product was characterized by 1H-NMR measurements, which were consistent with ester hydrolysis. The implications of thinking about lipids and lipid aggregates as catalytic entities are discussed in the context of biochemistry, pharmacology, and synthetic biology.

传统上,人们认为脂质不可能催化生物系统中的反应。然而,有大量证据表明,两亲化合物的聚集体能够催化合成有机化学中的反应。在这里,我们证明了脂质双分子层的疏水区域有可能通过能够加速化学反应的脂质聚集体提供适合催化反应的环境。通过将有机分子带入脂质双分子层的非极性或疏水区域,可以由单个或集合的小分子、非极性分子或两性分子催化反应。我们通过钙黄绿素-AM 的酯水解产生荧光产物来证明这一概念,这是细胞中酯酶活性的一种广泛应用的检测方法。反应首先在正辛醇-水两相体系中进行,有机相中含有阳离子两性化合物十六烷基三甲基溴化铵(CTAB)或十八胺。然后用水中的磷脂囊泡取代正辛醇相,发现反应也在水中进行。利用定量荧光对反应进行了监测,结果显示每个体系的催化周转次数为 10-7 至 10-8 s-1,比酶催化反应慢得多。反应产物通过 1H-NMR 测量进行表征,结果与酯水解一致。本文从生物化学、药理学和合成生物学的角度讨论了将脂质和脂质聚集体视为催化实体的意义。

Revisiting the Effect of the Resistance to Gas Accumulation in Constant Volume Systems on the Membrane Time Lag. 重新审视恒容系统中气体积聚阻力对薄膜时滞的影响。

The time-lag method is commonly used to determine membrane permeability, diffusivity and solubility in a single gas permeation experiment in a constant volume system. An unwritten assumption on which this method relies is that there is no resistance to gas accumulation in the downstream receiver of the system. However, this is not the case, even with the specially designed receiver used in this study when, in addition to tubing, the receiver utilizes an additional accumulation tank. The resistance to gas accumulation originates from a finite diffusivity (Knudsen diffusion) of gases in tubing, which are magnified by "resistance-free" accumulation tank(s). As a result of the resistance to gas accumulation, the time lag of the membrane is underestimated, which leads to an overestimation of gas diffusivity in the membrane. The experimentally predicted resistances in different configurations of the receiver, expressed by the difference in the time lag at two different receiver locations, were several times greater than the theoretically predicted values. A high molecular PPO membrane was used to demonstrate this effect. The time lags measured at different locations differed by as much as 30%. The diffusivity of nitrogen in a PPO of 4.04 × 10-12 m2/s determined at the optimum configuration of the receiver is at least 50% lower than the literature-reported values.

时滞法通常用于在恒定体积系统中的一次气体渗透实验中确定膜渗透性、扩散性和溶解性。这种方法所依赖的一个不成文的假设是,在系统的下游接收器中没有气体积聚的阻力。然而,事实并非如此,即使是本研究中使用的特殊设计的接收器,除管道外,接收器还使用了一个额外的积聚罐。气体积聚的阻力来自管路中气体的有限扩散率(克努森扩散),而 "无阻力 "积聚罐放大了这一阻力。由于气体积聚的阻力,膜的时滞被低估,从而导致膜中气体扩散率被高估。实验预测的不同配置接收器的阻力(以两个不同接收器位置的时滞差表示)比理论预测值大几倍。高分子 PPO 膜被用来证明这种效应。在不同位置测得的时滞相差高达 30%。在接收器的最佳配置下测定的 PPO 中氮的扩散率为 4.04 × 10-12 m2/s,比文献报道的值至少低 50%。

The experimentally predicted resistances in different configurations of the receiver, expressed by the difference in the time lag at two different receiver locations, were several times greater than the theoretically predicted values. A high molecular PPO membrane was used to demonstrate this effect. The time lags measured at different locations differed by as much as 30%. The diffusivity of nitrogen in a PPO of 4.04 × 10<sup>-12</sup> m<sup>2</sup>/s determined at the optimum configuration of the receiver is at least 50% lower than the literature-reported values.</p>","PeriodicalId":18410,"journal":{"name":"Membranes","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11355954/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142080783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, nanofiltration experiments using synthetic solutions containing acetate, butyrate, and lactate are carried out to assess the impact of the feed composition, i.e., feed concentration and feed proportions, on the separation factor of couples of solutes in binary and ternary solutions. In binary solutions, no influence of the solute proportions in the feed was pointed out, whatever the couple of solutes. The separation factor of acetate/butyrate and acetate/lactate was found to decrease with increasing feed concentration, while that of lactate/butyrate remained constant. The separation factors of acetate/lactate and lactate/butyrate were identical in ternary solutions compared to binary ones, showing no impact of the addition of the third solute. In ternary solutions, the presence of lactate decreased the separation factor of acetate/butyrate, but this decrease was not influenced by the proportion of lactate.

本研究使用含有醋酸盐、丁酸盐和乳酸盐的合成溶液进行纳滤实验,以评估进料成分(即进料浓度和进料比例)对二元和三元溶液中溶质耦合分离因子的影响。在二元溶液中,无论溶质对偶如何,进料中的溶质比例都没有影响。乙酸盐/丁酸盐和乙酸盐/乳酸盐的分离因数随着进料浓度的增加而降低,而乳酸盐/丁酸盐的分离因数保持不变。与二元溶液相比,三元溶液中醋酸酯/乳酸酯和乳酸酯/丁酸酯的分离因数相同,表明添加第三种溶质没有影响。在三元溶液中,乳酸盐的存在降低了醋酸盐/丁酸盐的分离因数,但这种降低不受乳酸盐比例的影响。

The separation ability of bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane (BTESE) membranes for hydrogen (H2) purification from hydrogen (H2)/toluene (TOL) gas mixtures after a methylcyclohexane (MCH) dehydrogenation process was investigated via one-stage and two-stage membrane processes. This study revealed that BTESE membranes of varied pore sizes (0.4, 0.5, and 0.7 nm) in a one-stage configuration can manage to achieve a H2 purity ~99.9%. However, the TOL concentrations fell within a wide range, ranging from 280 to 5441 ppm. A primary goal of this research was to lower the TOL concentration in the permeate stream below 200 ppm. Hence, by applying the two-stage membrane, it was demonstrated that the TOL concentration in the permeate stream could be lowered below 200 ppm.
在甲基环己烷(MCH)脱氢过程后,通过单级和两级膜过程研究了双(三乙氧基硅基)乙烷(BTESE)膜从氢气(H2)/甲苯(TOL)气体混合物中提纯氢气(H2)的分离能力。这项研究表明,在单级配置中,不同孔径(0.4、0.5 和 0.7 纳米)的 BTESE 膜可以达到约 99.9% 的 H2 纯度。然而,TOL 的浓度范围很广,从 280 ppm 到 5441 ppm 不等。这项研究的主要目标是将渗透流中的 TOL 浓度降至 200 ppm 以下。因此,通过应用两级膜,证明可以将渗透流中的 TOL 浓度降至 200 ppm 以下。

A two-stage pilot plant study has been completed that evaluated the performance of a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane process for the treatment of feedwater that consisted of a blend of a nanofiltration (NF) concentrate and brackish groundwater. Membrane performance was assessed by monitoring the process operation, collecting water quality data, and documenting the blended feedwater’s impact on fouling due to microbiological or organic means, plugging, and scaling, or their combination. Fluorescence and biological activity reaction tests were used to identify the types of organics and microorganisms present in the blended feedwater. Additionally, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were used to analyze suspended matter that collected on the surfaces of cartridge filters used in the pilot’s pretreatment system. SEM and EDS were also used to evaluate solids collected on the surfaces of 0.45 µm silver filter pads after filtering known volumes of NF concentrate and RO feedwater blends. Water quality analyses confirmed that the blended feedwater contained little to no dissolved oxygen, and a significant amount of particulate matter was absent from the blended feedwater as defined by silt density index and turbidity measurements. However, water quality results suggested that the presence of sulfate, sulfide, iron, anaerobic bacteria, and humic acid organics likely contributed to the formation of pyrite observed on some of the membrane surfaces autopsied at the conclusion of pilot operations. It was determined that first-stage membrane productivity was impacted by the location of cartridge filter pretreatment; however, second-stage productivity was maintained with no observed flux decline during the entire pilot operation’s timeline. Study results indicated that the operation of an RO process treating a blend of an NF concentrate and brackish groundwater could maintain a sustainable and productive operation that provided a practical minimum liquid discharge process operation for the NF concentrate, while the dilution of RO feedwater salinity would lower overall production costs.
一项分两个阶段进行的试验工厂研究已经完成,该研究评估了反渗透(RO)膜工艺处理由纳滤(NF)浓缩物和苦咸水组成的混合给水的性能。膜性能的评估是通过监测工艺运行、收集水质数据以及记录混合给水对微生物或有机物、堵塞和结垢或其组合造成的污垢的影响来进行的。荧光和生物活性反应测试用于确定混合给水中的有机物和微生物类型。此外,还使用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和能量色散 X 射线光谱(EDS)来分析试点预处理系统中使用的筒式过滤器表面收集的悬浮物质。扫描电镜和能量色散 X 射线光谱还用于评估在过滤已知量的 NF 浓缩液和反渗透混合给水后,收集在 0.45 微米银滤芯表面的固体物质。水质分析证实,混合给水中几乎不含溶解氧,根据淤泥密度指数和浊度测量结果,混合给水中不含大量颗粒物质。然而,水质结果表明,硫酸盐、硫化物、铁、厌氧细菌和腐殖酸有机物的存在可能是导致在试点运行结束时对一些膜表面进行尸检时发现黄铁矿形成的原因。研究确定,第一级膜的生产率受到筒式过滤器预处理位置的影响;但是,在整个试点运行期间,第二级生产率保持不变,没有观察到通量下降。研究结果表明,采用反渗透工艺处理无负压浓缩物和苦咸水地下水的混合液,可以保持可持续的高产运行,为无负压浓缩物提供实用的最低液体排放工艺操作,而反渗透进水盐度的稀释将降低总体生产成本。

Membrane distillation (MD) is widely used in the field of seawater desalination. Among its various sub-categories, air gap membrane distillation (AGMD) stands out due to its high thermal efficiency and compatibility with low-grade heat sources. This study delves into the impact of varying operating conditions on AGMD performance, employing numerical simulations which are grounded in experimental validation. The objective was to enhance the performance of AGMD, mitigate polarization phenomena, and provide a reference for optimizing membrane component design. The results show that the agreements between the simulated and the experimental values were high. When increasing the feed temperature and decreasing the coolant temperature, the impact of polarization phenomena on the performance of AGMD was reduced. The mass flux, Total Permeate Concentration (TPC), and heat flux increased by 81.69%, 36.89%, and 118.01%, respectively, when the feed temperature was increased from 50 °C to 75 °C. When the coolant temperature decreased from 22 °C to 7 °C, the mass flux increased by 37.06%. The response surface analysis revealed that the feed temperature has significant influence on AGMD performance, and there is a noticeable interaction between the feed temperature and coolant temperature. These findings will play key roles in practical applications.
膜蒸馏(MD)广泛应用于海水淡化领域。在其各个子类别中,气隙膜蒸馏(AGMD)因其热效率高且与低品位热源兼容而脱颖而出。本研究通过以实验验证为基础的数值模拟,深入探讨了不同操作条件对 AGMD 性能的影响。目的是提高 AGMD 的性能,缓解极化现象,并为优化膜组件设计提供参考。结果表明,模拟值与实验值的一致性很高。当提高进料温度和降低冷却剂温度时,极化现象对 AGMD 性能的影响减小。当进料温度从 50 °C 升至 75 °C 时,质量通量、总渗透浓度(TPC)和热通量分别增加了 81.69%、36.89% 和 118.01%。当冷却剂温度从 22 °C 降至 7 °C 时,质量通量增加了 37.06%。响应面分析表明,进料温度对 AGMD 性能有显著影响,而且进料温度与冷却剂温度之间存在明显的交互作用。这些发现将在实际应用中发挥关键作用。
