The regulation mechanism of the interlayer when PEI was used as monomer was still not clear. In this study, a PVA-based interlayer was constructed on the origin PES sublayer to tailor the interfacial polymerization in PEI systems. It was proved that the PVA interlayer can further elevate the PWP and rejections of heavy metals. Moreover, the absorption effect of interlayers could contribute to better removal of heavy metals. More negative charges of interlayer could result in a more enough and uniform absorption of PEI monomer as well as a slower diffusion rate of PEI monomer during the interfacial polymerization reaction, thus forming a loose top surface but dense sub-separating layer. This study provides new insight into the effect of interlayer on the performance of PEI-based nanofiltration membrane.","PeriodicalId":21680,"journal":{"name":"Separation Science and Technology","volume":"43 1","pages":"2369 - 2382"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80968513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Ag2Se photo-catalyst was synthesized via a wet chemical technique and characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) for structural analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for surface morphology, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for inner structure, Raman and UV-Vis spectroscopy for the study of its optical properties. The results showed that the Ag2Se photo-catalyst has a well-defined cubic crystal structure with a typical particle size of 50 to 76.5 nm. The UV-Vis absorption spectrum of the Ag2Se photo-catalyst revealed a strong absorption in the visible light region, indicating its potential as visible light photo-catalyst. The photocatalytic degradation of MO dye was carried out under visible light irradiation using the synthesized Ag2Se photo-catalyst. The results showed that the degradation efficiency of MO dye reached 95% after 150 min of irradiation. The degradation of MO dye was attributed to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the formation of Ag nanoclusters on the surface of the Ag2Se photo-catalyst. The stability of the Ag2Se photo-catalyst was also examined, and the results exhibited that the photo-catalyst was stable and could be reused for subsequent photocatalytic degradation experiments. The Ag2Se photo-catalyst showed an outstanding photo catalytic activity for the degradation of MO dye underneath visible light irradiation. The study proposes that the Ag2Se photo-catalyst can be used for the treatment of wastewater containing organic pollutants.","PeriodicalId":21680,"journal":{"name":"Separation Science and Technology","volume":"26 1","pages":"2383 - 2393"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86187273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The operating condition determines the separation efficiency of MOC and is varied with practical requirements. A better understanding of performance, mass and heat transfer inside adsorption bed at wide operating conditions is of great importance. The impacts of key operating parameters on the performances, the concentration and temperature distributions of MOC have been numerically investigated. The numerical results demonstrate that high comprehensive performances are achieved at an optimal condition with combination of adsorption pressure, product and feed flowrate and feed temperature. As adsorption pressure increases, the front of gas concentration and temperature becomes sharp, which effectively benefits for improving the performance. It is nearly identical shapes of nitrogen concentration and gas temperature profiles after adsorption and the profiles are pushed forward near production end with increasing of product flowrates and decreasing of feed flowrates. The increasing of feed temperature is beneficial to improve the performance. However, the adverse mass transfer and thermal effects are dominant at very high pressures, flowrates and temperatures conditions and this variation increases the unit power of MOC.","PeriodicalId":21680,"journal":{"name":"Separation Science and Technology","volume":"30 1","pages":"2241 - 2253"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86070014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The parent structure and the number of sulfonic acid groups of sulfonate dyes have a great effect on extraction performance, whilst the molecular weight has a small effect on extraction performance. The results indicate that the extraction rate of azo dyes remains above 80% at the aqueous-organic phase ratio of 7:1, but the extraction rate of two anthraquinone dyes decreases to 54.9% and 34.9%, respectively; and the fewer the number of sulfonic acid groups of the dye, the better the extraction performance under the condition of insufficient extractant, the extraction rate of Direct Grey D and Acid Red M is over 82%. A complete set of methods for determining the ratio of the extractant and the dye was determined using the distribution coefficient method. The interaction between Telon Yellow 4 R and trioctylamine is ionic association and hydrogen bonding association, and the complex ratio between the dye and the extractant is about 2:1.

The quick spread of AP biomass may cause serious threat to ecological balance and biodiversity of the local area. However, AP has a high content of potassium, making it possible for preparing biochar through a self-activation process. In this study, AP biomass was employed to prepare porous carbon through a simple one-step pyrolysis. The effect of pyrolysis temperature (T) and carrier gas flow rate (v) onto the target carbon was intensively discussed. The obtained carbon were employed as adsorbents for methylene blue (MB) adsorption. Results showed that both of the T and v played great influence on the porous structure of the obtained biochar. Higher pyrolysis temperature and lower carrier gas flow rate were in favor of the formation of micropore and mesopore. The biochar obtained from 900°C pyrolysis temperature and 20 cm3 min−1 carrier gas flow rate (BC/900–20) possessed a satisfying specific surface area (825.6 m2 g−1) through the direct one-step pyrolysis, verifying the existence of pyrolysis gas self-activation and inorganic salt template self-activation effect.

Adsorption is an economical and easy treatment method used to remove these pollutants. Today, activated carbons, which are tried to be produced from renewable resources, are widely used adsorbents thanks to its low cost and advanced surface properties. The activated carbon (AC) in this study was produced from poplar sawdust by H3PO4 activation at an acid:sawdust ratio of 4:1 and a carbonization temperature of 400°C. This AC was used to adsorption of Malachite Green (MG) from aqueous solutions. According to the experimental results, the optimum adsorption conditions were determined as 6 h at pH 5 and 25°C with 0.1 g adsorbent at 300 mg/L initial concentration and 150 mg/g adsorption capacity was achieved these conditions. Adsorption kinetics, isotherms and thermodynamics were also investigated and the results were evaluated. Surface adsorption and intraparticle diffusion are effective in the adsorption mechanism of MG on poplar sawdust AC. Since the kinetic data fit the pseudo-second-order model, it can be said that the adsorption is chemisorption. Moreover, MG adsorption was spontaneous and endothermic on a monolayer homogeneous surface.","PeriodicalId":21680,"journal":{"name":"Separation Science and Technology","volume":"74 1","pages":"2099 - 2114"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88782689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The synthesized adsorbents were characterized by various characterization techniques. The chitosan composite exhibited tremendous adsorption properties toward methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB) at pH &lt; 5.5 and pH &gt; 5.5, respectively. The equilibrium data were evaluated by Dubinin-Radushkevich, Langmuir, Freundlich, and Tempkin isotherm models where the Langmuir model was best fitted to the adsorption data. The mono-layer sorption capacity values were found to be in the order 2047 mg/g and 1363 mg/g for MO and MB respectively onto CS/MOF-74 which are almost 6–8 epochs superior to MOF-74 and CS. In addition, pseudo-first, pseudo-second, intraparticle diffusion and Richenberg kinetic models were assessed to the kinetic data where the pseudo-second-order fitted very well to the adsorption data. The higher values of diffusion coefficient confirmed the greater involvement of the film diffusion than the pore and surface diffusion for the elimination of basic as well as acidic dyes onto CS/mOF-74. Thermodynamically, the negative value of isosteric heat of adsorption (ΔHˉ) concluded that the current study was found exothermic in nature. Moreover, electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and electron donor–acceptor interactions were suggested as probable mechanisms in the current adsorption process.

The proof-of-concept tests were studied with synthetic solutions of reactive and disperse black dyes at different concentrations, and real textile wastewater from the discharge machine and the equalization tank. Results showed that CF-DCMD exhibited higher permeate fluxes (up to 40%) than single DCMD and maximum color rejection rates (100%). Moreover, CF-DCMD enabled water reclamation from cotton and polyester dyeing wastewater which was not possible by MD (Membrane Distillation). The integrated system showed excellent chemical oxygen demand removal capacity, total suspended solids, turbidity, conductivity reduction, and removed any signs of toxicity from the tested wastewater. The coagulation/flocculation process prior to the MD reduced the fouling factor for all wastewater, highlighting the equalization tank where a reduction of around 72% was observed, achieving the goal of reducing fouling and increasing the efficiency of the MD. Membrane characterization indicated that CF-DCMD confirmed less fouling of membranes than single DCMD. Thus, this study allows to understand the potential and robustness of the CF-DCMD process in the treatment of textile wastewater and that it is possible to develop alternative technologies to treat complex wastewater effectively.
