Abstract A new type of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) hollow fiber membrane (HFM) with five bores was prepared. The effects of Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), β-cyclodextrine (β-CD), Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) and Polysorbate 80 (Tween 80) and their combinations on the PVDF/PMMA five-bore HFMs were investigated. The performance and fouling characteristics of five-bore HFMs for dyeing wastewater treatment were evaluated. Results indicated that adding 5wt.% PVP could increase the porosity and water flux of the membrane but decrease the bovine serum albumin (BSA) rejection rate. Adding 5wt.% β-CD significantly improved the tensile and rejection of the HFMs without showing effect on the increase of water flux. The characteristic of the HFMs with different additives combinations proved that the mixture of 5wt.% PVP and 1wt.% β-CD obtained the best membrane performance, with a pure water flux of 427.9 L/ m2·h, a contact angle of 25°, and a rejection to bovine serum albumin (BSA) of 89.7%. The CODcr and UV254 removal rates of dyeing wastewater treatment were 61.10% and 50.41%, respectively. No breakage or leakage points were found after 120d operation showing the reliable mechanical properties. We set the operating flux to 55 L/m2·h and cross flow rate to 10% which can effectively control membrane fouling.

Polysulfone Membrane

Membrane fouling is still a critical issue for the application of ultrafiltration, which has been widely used in water treatment due to its efficiency and simplicity. In order to improve the antifouling property, a new 2D material MXene was used to fabricate composite ultrafiltration membrane with the approach of in situ embedment during the phase inversion process in this study. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), water contact angle, bovine serum albumin rejection and porosity measurements were utilized to characterize the prepared membranes. Due to the hydrophilicity of the MXene, the composite membranes obtained higher hydrophilicity, confirmed by the decreased water contact angle. All the modified membranes had a high bovine serum albumin rejection above 90% while that of the pristine polysulfone membrane was 77.48%. The flux recovery ratio and the reversible fouling ratio of the membranes were also improved along with the increasing content of the MXene. Furthermore, the highest flux recovery ratio could also reach 76.1%. These indicated the good antifouling properties of MXene composite membranes. The enhanced water permeability and protein rejection and excellent antifouling properties make MXene a promising material for antifouling membrane modification.
