An interlayer is in situ formed to regulate the morphologies and thickness of the polyamide layer during a chitosan assisted interfacial polymerization. The resulted NF membrane exhibits an ultrahigh permeability without compromising on selectivity.

Widespread applications of nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO)-based processes for water purification and desalination call for high-performance thin-film composite (TFC) membranes. In this work, a novel and facile modification method was proposed to fabricate high-performance thin-film composite nanofiltration membrane by introducing Ca2+ in the heat post-treatment. The introduction of Ca2+ induced in situ Ca2+-carboxyl intra-bridging, leading to the embedment of Ca2+ in the polyamide (PA) layer. This post modification enhanced the hydrophilicity and surface charge of NF membranes compared to the pristine membrane. More interestingly, the modified membrane had more nodules and exhibited rougher morphology. Such changes brought by the addition of Ca2+ enabled the significant increase of water permeability (increasing from 17.9 L·m−2·h−1·bar−1 to 29.8 L·m−2·h−1·bar−1) while maintaining a high selectivity (Na2SO4 rejection rate of 98.0%). Furthermore, the intra-bridging between calcium and carboxyl imparted the NF membranes with evident antifouling properties, exhibiting milder permeability decline of 4.2% (compared to 16.7% of NF-control) during filtration of sodium alginate solution. The results highlight the potential of using Ca2+-carboxyl intra-bridging post-treatment to fabricate high-performance TFC membranes for water purification and desalination.

The interfacial polymerization (IP) of piperazine (PIP) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) has been extensively utilized to synthesize the nanofiltration (NF) membrane. However, it is still a huge challenge to monitor the IP reaction, because of the fast reaction rate and the formed ultra-thin film. Herein, two effective strategies are applied to reduce the IP reaction rate: (1) the introduction of hydrophilic interlayers between the porous substrate and the formed polyamide layer; (2) the addition of macromolecular additives in the aqueous solution of PIP. As a result, in-situ FT-IR spectroscopy was firstly used to monitor the IP reaction of PIP/TMC reaction system, with hydrophilic interlayers or macromolecular additives. Moreover, we study the formed polyamide layer growth on the substrate, in a real-time manner. The in-situ FT-IR experimental results confirm that the IP reaction rates are effectively suppressed and the formed polyamide thickness reduces from 138±24 nm to 46±2 nm. Furthermore, the optimized NF membrane with excellent performance are consequently obtained, which include the boosted water permeation flux about 141~238 (L·m2·h/MPa) and superior salt rejection of Na2SO4 > 98.4%.
