Abstract

Quaternised Wood Membranes (QWMs) are gaining prominence as cost-effective, sustainable alternatives for water detoxification, particularly the removal of hazardous oxoanions such as nitrate (NO3), sulfate (SO42−), and phosphate (PO43−). Pinewood has been quaternised using a polyelectrolyte-forming reactive ionic liquid (RIL), i.e., glycidyl triethylammonium chloride (GTEAC), in a water-free, one-step method. The optimised modification process at 90°C and for 1.5 h results in a substantial increase in the oxoanion removal efficiencies of the QWMs, with the most effective removal being achieved for SO42-, followed by PO43- and NO3. The GTEAC can polymerise to yield long-chain cationic polyelectrolytes, which corroborates with a model synthetic study, the 1D and 2D NMR spectra, and the DSC and TGA/DTG thermal analyses. This grafted polyelectrolyte yields a high weight gain wg = 40 % and the corresponding degree of quaternisation of DQ = 2.08 mmol/g, though screening effects yield a maximum ion exchange capacity of IECmax = 1.07 mmol/g. Additionally, the regeneration is feasible after several filtration cycles and the QWM can withstand sufficient stress under operation conditions. Further, isothermal analyses indicate a Langmuir behaviour and Freundlich-like behaviour under equilibrium (zero flow) and flow conditions, respectively. This study highlights the potential of QWMs as a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to synthetic polymeric membranes in water treatment technologies for denitrification, desulfurisation, dephosphatisation and/or ultrafiltration applications. The process sustainability was quantified using the EcoScale approach of up to 73.6 (near excellent), yielding wood-based AEMs costing 50–60 times less than their synthetic polymeric peers.

期刊介绍: The Chemical Engineering Journal is an international research journal that invites contributions of original and novel fundamental research. It aims to provide an international platform for presenting original fundamental research, interpretative reviews, and discussions on new developments in chemical engineering. The journal welcomes papers that describe novel theory and its practical application, as well as those that demonstrate the transfer of techniques from other disciplines. It also welcomes reports on carefully conducted experimental work that is soundly interpreted. The main focus of the journal is on original and rigorous research results that have broad significance. The Catalysis section within the Chemical Engineering Journal focuses specifically on Experimental and Theoretical studies in the fields of heterogeneous catalysis, molecular catalysis, and biocatalysis. These studies have industrial impact on various sectors such as chemicals, energy, materials, foods, healthcare, and environmental protection.
