The kinetics of synthesis was carefully investigated, and it is proven that the grafting polymerization process can be effectively controlled by regulating the reaction time. The membranes are fabricated using PVC and copolymers by non-solvent induced phase separation（NIPS） process. The hydrophilicity and pore structure of copolymer membranes were enhanced as well, these membranes are endowed with positive charge. When PDMA%（i.e., the PDMA weight percentage in copolymer） is 31.1%, the flux and Victoria blue B rejection are 26.0 L·m·^-2·h^-1（0.5 MPa） and 91.2%, respectively. Thus, the newly synthesized polymer is proven to be a promising material for dye separation with positive charges.展开更多

文摘Herein,polyethersulfone(PES)and sulfonated polysulfone(SPSf)blend membranes were prepared with addition of sulfonated polyethersulfone(SPES)as a hydrophilic polymer and adipic acid as a porogen via non-solvent induced phase separation method for effective fractionation of dyes based on the influence of steric hindrance and charge effect.Raman spectroscopy and molecular dynamic simulation modeling confirmed that hydrogen bonds between PES,SPSf,SPES,and adipic acid were crucial to membrane formation and spatial arrangement.Further addition of hydrophilic SPES resulted in a membrane with reduced pore size and molecular weight cut-off as well as amplified negative charge and pure water permeance.During separation,the blend membranes exhibited higher rejection rates for nine types of small molecular weight(269.3–800 Da)dyes than for neutral polyethylene glycol molecules(200–1000 Da).This was attributed to the size effect and the synergistic effect between steric hindrance and charge repulsion.Notably,the synergistic impact decreased with dye molecular weight,while greater membrane negative charge enhanced small molecular dye rejection.Ideal operational stability and anti-fouling performance were best observed in M2(PES/SPSf/SPES,3.1 wt%).Summarily,this study demonstrates that SPES with–SO3‒functional groups can be applied to control the microstructure and separation of membranes.

文摘Biomass-based membranes have attracted increasing attentions due to their cheap and sustainable advantages.In this work,a novel thin-fiilm composite(TFC)nanofiltration(NF)membrane was fabricated through a facial interfacial polymerization(IP)process by initiate the crosslinking reaction between collagen fibers(CFs)and tannic acid(TA).The increased TA concentrations endowed the TFC membrane with a higher crosslinking degree,a thicker active layer and a rougher top surface.At optimized condition with 0.60 mg TA decoration,the TFC-3 membrane exhibited a high water permeability of 23.49 L m^(-2)h^(-1)bar^(-1)with high rejections above 98.0%for congo red,reactive blue 19,coomassie blue G-250,and methyl blue.Furthermore,the membrane preserved remarkable salt retentions(93.3%for Na_(2)SO_(4),83.4%for MgSO_(4),36.2%for MgCl_(2),and 26.4%for NaCl)and satisfying operation stability.This facial fabrication method offered a new insight to employ biomass for molecular precise separation.

文摘Controlling interpenetration and flexibility behaviors is intriguing and fundamental for porous coordination polymers.We report exceptional interpenetration behaviors involving controllable partial order–disorder structural transformations.A new bis-benzotriazolate ligand(NaH2sbbta)with a twisted and anionic backbone was designed and synthesized.The solvothermal reaction of ZnCl_(2) and NaH_(2)sbbta yielded(Et_(2)NH_(2))_(3)[Zn_(5)Cl_(4)(sbbta)_(3)]·6DEF(2)possessing two-fold interpenetrated anionic pcu networks with symmetry,shape,and charge different from the known analogues.More interestingly,powder and single-crystal X-ray diffractions showed that 2 can undergo solvent-induced structural transformation to form a noninterpenetrated anionic pcu network with larger pores(1).Consequently,1/2 can selectively adsorb/exchange cationic dyes fromneutral and anionic dyes with tunable size selectivity.However,since the transformations are reversible without obvious change of crystal sizes,the network that disappeared in X-ray crystallography should be mainly disordered rather than decomposed.Further,the structural transformations can be suppressed by thermal decomposition/removal of Et_(2)NH_(2)^(+)/Et_(2)NH.Computational simulations indicate that the ordered and disordered structures are stabilized by relatively large and small solvent molecules,respectively.
