To foster a circular economy, establishing a closed-loop lifecycle for the membrane materials is highly important. In this study, we fabricated recyclable nanofiltration membranes from chemically recyclable polymers —polyester P(BiL<sup>=</sup>)<sub>ROP</sub> and poly(cyclic olefin) P(BiL<sup>=</sup>)<sub>ROMP</sub>— using γ-butyrolactone as a green solvent. These two polymers, of two different polymer classes, were obtained from a single monomer, which could be recycled back to the same monomer, exhibiting the unique “one monomer–two polymers–one monomer” closed-loop chemical circularity. The effect of physical treatment, such as annealing, hot-pressing, and air exposure on the morphological characteristics and performance of the nanofiltration membranes was investigated. We revealed the interplay between membrane pore size, thickness, density and the molecular sieving performance of the nanofiltration membranes. Solute rejections were mainly governed by the membrane pore size. However, solvent flux was mainly governed by the membrane density that determines the free volume interconnectivity. The membranes exhibited a tunable molecular weight cutoff between 553 and 777 g mol<sup>−1</sup> and methanol permeance between 5.9 and 9.8 L m<sup>–2</sup> h<sup>–1</sup> bar<sup>−1</sup>. The membranes exhibited excellent long-term nanofiltration stability over 1 week. The combination of the green solvent used for membrane fabrication and the circular life cycle of the polymer membrane brings one step closer to closing the circularity loop of membrane technology.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100805,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Membrane Science Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772421224000011/pdfft?md5=0b32a437a36e2bfd642434e9d558e37d&pid=1-s2.0-S2772421224000011-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139675111","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}

Nevertheless, the current disposal practices for these end-of-life (EoL) polymeric membranes, primarily landfill and incineration, are neither economically nor environmentally sustainable. To address this challenge, we first analyzed the factors leading to the EoL phase for these membranes; an understanding that is critical in developing or selecting appropriate recycling technologies. We further proposed a technological framework to guide recycling choices based on the specific state of the EoL membrane. In cases where the membrane exhibits significant breakage, dissolution using eco-friendly solvents, followed by membrane re-preparation, is recommended. For membranes without substantial breakage, regeneration, upcycling, or downcycling strategies can be deployed based on scenarios. We underscored the crucial role of irrecoverable foulant removal within the regeneration technology. Additionally, the reaction interface must be suitably remediated before the application of upcycling technology to EoL microfiltration/ultrafiltration membranes. The downcycling strategy, facilitated by NaOCl oxidation, is readily applicable to EoL nanofiltration/reverse osmosis membranes.
