Abstract

A bench-scale study of river water treatment using composite polyethersulfone (PES) membrane was carried out. Polyethylene glycol-silver nanoparticles (PEG-AgNPs) additive was designed to support the simultaneous filtration and disinfection performance of PES membranes via in situ incorporation. Significant improvements in the PES membranes after modification with PEG-AgNPs were observed. The experimental results showed that the PEG-AgNPs increased the PES membrane water flux from 2.87 to 172.84 L/m²·h. The anti-fouling test of the PES membrane toward humic acid molecules after the addition of PES/PEG-AgNPs increased the reversible fouling and decreased the irreversible fouling. In terms of filtration performance, the PES/PEG-AgNP membranes showed high filtration performance, with a water disinfection ability of 99.99 %. Moreover, the leach of silver particles from the PES membrane forced by ultrasonication was <50 ppb, indicating the security and stability of the PES/PEG-AgNP membrane.

聚醚砜-聚乙二醇-银纳米颗粒制备的高性能抗菌复合膜

利用复合聚醚砜（PES）膜对河水处理进行了一项实验室规模的研究。设计了聚乙二醇-银纳米粒子（PEG-AgNPs）添加剂，以通过原位添加的方式支持聚醚砜膜的同步过滤和消毒性能。经 PEG-AgNPs 改性后，PES 膜的性能得到了显著改善。实验结果表明，PEG-AgNPs 使 PES 膜的水通量从 2.87 升/平方米-小时提高到 172.84 升/平方米-小时。加入 PES/PEG-AgNPs 后，PES 膜对腐植酸分子的防污测试结果表明，可逆污垢增加，不可逆污垢减少。在过滤性能方面，PES/PEG-AgNP 膜显示出较高的过滤性能，水消毒能力达到 99.99%。此外，超声波强制从 PES 膜中浸出的银颗粒为 50 ppb，这表明 PES/PEG-AgNP 膜具有安全性和稳定性。
