Much research has been aimed at understanding the mechanism behind membrane fouling, particularly for ultrafiltration (UF) membranes. Interestingly, studies pointed out that the emulsifier, namely surfactant, is the main source of fouling in nanofiltration and reverse osmosis, while in the case of UF, oil is generally regarded as the main source of fouling. Herein, we study the fouling of UF membranes during separation of O/W emulsions stabilized by surfactants, with the explicit goal of determining the relative impact of the oil and surfactant present on fouling severity and dynamics. Results obtained from flux decline measurements, complimented by visualization using confocal microscopy, show that oil causes irreversible fouling to a certain extent, however, surfactant fouling dominates the observed membrane performance. The degree of fouling and flux recovery appears to be closely related to the properties the surfactant, namely charge and molecular weight, as has been observed in the past but attributed to the oil-membrane interactions, mediated by the surfactant. Further, to visualize the fouling mechanisms, direct observation via a confocal microscope set-up is used to capture real-time images of the membrane surface, which reveal that surface coverage of oil is not directly related to flux decline during the separation process. Our results suggest that membrane flux decline and fouling is dominated by membrane-surfactant interactions, the exact nature of which is a topic for future extensions of this work.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100805,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Membrane Science Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772421224000060/pdfft?md5=e74061dfb215bfb4ced03bb006650015&pid=1-s2.0-S2772421224000060-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140069120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In fact, measuring the performance of MD membranes is challenging because it is dependent on process parameters, making it difficult to separate the individual influences of the process operating conditions and the membranes’ intrinsic properties. These shortcomings drive the need for a standardized methodology to compare and report membrane performance independently of the process parameters.

To date, the only method for highlighting and accounting for electrokinetic leakage is limited to flat-sheet membranes. In this letter, we propose an alternative method that is much less time-consuming and applicable to all membrane geometries. This method is based on the determination of the electrokinetic index, which we define as the ratio of the apparent zeta potentials determined from single measurements of the streaming current and streaming potential coefficients. We show that variation in the electrokinetic index reflects modifications occurring within the membrane matrix (in addition to surface properties alteration). The chemical degradation of polyethersulfone (PES)-based flat-sheet and hollow-fiber membranes is used as a proof of concept, but the proposed approach is readily transposable to other problems of practical interest, such as e.g. membrane fouling.

The LIPS-ZIF-8 membrane exhibited a high 1,3-butadiene permeance of approximately 1.43 × 10<sup>−7</sup> mol/m<sup>2</sup> s Pa (∼430 GPU) and ideal separation factors of 18, 56, and 134 for 1,3-butadiene over 1-butene, n-butane, and isobutene, respectively. In separating four-component C<sub>4</sub> mixtures, these membranes could enrich 1,3-butadiene content from 50% in the feed to 96–98% in the permeate through a single separation step. This unprecedented performance is attributed to differences in C<sub>4</sub> diffusivities that span several orders of magnitude.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100805,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Membrane Science Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772421223000302/pdfft?md5=75d81704b3c5649106631bfdf9dd7c37&pid=1-s2.0-S2772421223000302-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138475118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
