Abstract
Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-based membranes are widely applied to pervaporation desalination. Further modification of the PVA-based membranes with suitable additives is attractive for increasing the water permeation fluxes. In this work, water-soluble ozonated lignin (Ws-OL) was prepared and used as an additive for preparation of Ws-OL-modified PVA membranes, which showed relatively high surface hydrophilicity, reduced crystallinity, and small crystallite sizes compared to the neat PVA membrane. The Ws-OL modification brought a 2.1 times of water permeation flux to the PVA membrane in pervaporation desalination on a 3.5 wt% NaCl(aq) solution at 25 °C. Under an optimum condition, the modified PVA membrane possessing 50 wt% Ws-OL and being crosslinked with 4-sulfophthalic acid (SPTA) exhibited a water permeation flux and a salt rejection of 78,630 g m-2 h-1 and 99.91%, respectively. The high efficiency of Ws-OL in modifying hydrophilic membranes is noteworthy and could be potentially applied to other membranes for pervaporation separation and oil-water separations.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Membrane Science is a publication that focuses on membrane systems and is aimed at academic and industrial chemists, chemical engineers, materials scientists, and membranologists. It publishes original research and reviews on various aspects of membrane transport, membrane formation/structure, fouling, module/process design, and processes/applications. The journal primarily focuses on the structure, function, and performance of non-biological membranes but also includes papers that relate to biological membranes. The Journal of Membrane Science publishes Full Text Papers, State-of-the-Art Reviews, Letters to the Editor, and Perspectives.
