Abstract
Herein, we report a new class of biosourced nanofiltration membranes based on chemically recyclable aliphatic polyesters (P(4,5-T6GBL)) and the use of green solvents. Given their chemical recyclability and potential biodegradability, these polyester membranes were designed to have a sustainable lifecycle. The effect of membrane thickness and solvent/non-solvent diffusivity on membrane morphology and organic solvent nanofiltration were investigated. Long-term membrane stability was tested in a continuous crow-flow filtration rig over a week, which exhibited stable methanol permeance at 8.6 ± 0.1 L m−2 h−1 bar−1. The rejection profiles of the pharmaceuticals oleuropein (540 g mol−1) and roxithromycin (837 g mol−1) were also found to be stable at 87% and 100%, respectively.
在此,我们报道了一类基于化学可回收脂肪族聚酯(P(4,5- t6gbl))和绿色溶剂的新型生物源纳滤膜。鉴于其化学可回收性和潜在的生物降解性,这些聚酯膜被设计为具有可持续的生命周期。研究了膜厚度和溶剂/非溶剂扩散率对膜形态和有机溶剂纳滤的影响。在连续流式过滤装置中测试了膜的长期稳定性,在8.6±0.1 L m−2 h−1 bar−1时,膜的甲醇渗透率稳定。橄榄苦苷(540 g mol−1)和罗红霉素(837 g mol−1)的排异反应稳定,分别为87%和100%。
