Abstract
Trade-off between flux and reject rate is a long-standing shortcoming of membrane separation for heavy metal ions from wastewater. Herein, we design and develop a scalable, high flux of polyethyleneimine/amidoxime modified polyacrylonitrile (PEI/AOPAN) composite nanofibers membrane via using needle less electro-spun and chemical modification strategies. Subsequently, the prepared nanofibers membrane was used as a membrane separation material to rapidly and efficiently remove Cr(VI) ions from wastewater through the synergistic effect of adsorption-reduction. The result indicated that the scalable membrane was manufactured by needle free electrospinning and amine oxime modification process has the characteristics of uniform fiber diameter (315 nm), excellent hydrophilicity, good acid and alkali resistance stability, and excellent mechanical properties. During the dynamic separation process, the membrane can rapidly and efficiently remove Cr(VI) ions in wastewater (100 mg L−1), which has a flux of up to 1146 L·m−1·h−1 and a retention rate of 99.53 % under pressure conditions of 0.08 MPa. The process of Cr(VI) ions removal by this membrane follows a pseudo first-order adsorption kinetics model and Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. This work confirms the feasibility of porous membrane adsorption with high capacity, and provides the possibility of adsorptive membranes for heavy metal ions from wastewater.
期刊介绍:
Separation and Purification Technology is a premier journal committed to sharing innovative methods for separation and purification in chemical and environmental engineering, encompassing both homogeneous solutions and heterogeneous mixtures. Our scope includes the separation and/or purification of liquids, vapors, and gases, as well as carbon capture and separation techniques. However, it's important to note that methods solely intended for analytical purposes are not within the scope of the journal. Additionally, disciplines such as soil science, polymer science, and metallurgy fall outside the purview of Separation and Purification Technology. Join us in advancing the field of separation and purification methods for sustainable solutions in chemical and environmental engineering.
