Abstract

Electroconductive membranes are of interest because their selectivity-permeability and fouling resistance are improved with electrical assistance. MXene lamellar membranes are competitive candidates. However, the swelling problem of MXene membranes has not been adequately addressed, especially at dynamic voltages, resulting in weakened separation performance. In this study, carboxylated cellulose nanofibers intercalated MXene membranes with stable interlayer spacing were developed by constructing column-to-beam structure and mortise-tenon connection. The results showed that the interlayer spacing and membrane pore size of the MX/CN composite membrane were almost invariable before and after electro-assisted filtration. Benefiting from the anti-swelling properties and good electrical conductivity, the MXene composite membranes showed a significant increase in the retention of typical monovalent and divalent inorganic salts at external voltages (from 46.2 % and 80.4 % at 0 V to 60.6 % and 88.7 % at 2.0 V for NaCl and Na2SO4, respectively), as well as a slight increase in the flux. This enhancement mechanism was attributed to the increase of the Stern layer in the adjacent nanosheets of lamellar membranes under electrical assistance. In addition, external voltage was also effective in improving the fouling resistance and enrichment performance of MXene composite membranes for actual textile wastewater, which might be due to the enhanced electrostatic repulsion and electrokinetic behavior under electrical assistance. This work aims to offer new insights into the advancement of electroconductive membranes with a stable structure for desalination and wastewater treatment.

Abstract Image

导电膜之所以令人感兴趣,是因为其选择性-渗透性和抗污性在电能的帮助下得到了改善。MXene 层状膜是有竞争力的候选材料。然而,MXene 膜的膨胀问题尚未得到充分解决,尤其是在动态电压下,导致分离性能减弱。在这项研究中,通过构建柱对梁结构和榫卯连接,开发出了具有稳定层间距的羧基纤维素纳米纤维插层 MXene 膜。结果表明,MX/CN 复合膜的层间距和膜孔径在电助过滤前后几乎没有变化。得益于抗膨胀特性和良好的导电性,MXene 复合膜在外部电压下对典型的一价和二价无机盐的截留率显著提高(NaCl 和 Na2SO4 的截留率分别从 0 V 时的 46.2% 和 80.4% 提高到 2.0 V 时的 60.6% 和 88.7%),通量也略有增加。这种增强机制归因于在电辅助下相邻纳米片层中斯特恩层的增加。此外,外加电压也能有效提高 MXene 复合膜在实际纺织废水中的抗污垢能力和富集性能,这可能是由于在电辅助下静电排斥和电动行为得到了增强。这项研究旨在为开发结构稳定的导电膜提供新的见解,以用于海水淡化和废水处理。

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.
