The compatibility of polyvinylidene difluorid (PVDF) and polyurethane (PU), the thermodynamics of the PVDF/PU/DMF (N-N-Dimethylformamide) membrane-forming systems were studied, and the composite tubular membranes of PVDF/PU-PET knitted fabric tube were prepared by the immersion precipitation phase inversion method. The results showed that the PVDF/PU system was partly compatible by the measurements of the solubility parameter theory, the mixing enthalpy, the viscosity. With PU content increasing, the gelation values increased and the instantaneous liquid-liquid phase separation was preferred to occur. The water flux of the composite tubular membranes were enhanced from 1264.81 to 2165.35 L/m2.h with PU content increasing from 10wt% to 40wt%, which resulted from the an increment of the membrane porosity and the improvement of the hydrophilicity.

Polyetherimide (PEI) with excellent solvent resistance and thermal resistance is a good membrane material which is studied in detail. PEI ultrafiltration membrane with low molecular weight cut-off is prepared by phase inversion method in this work. The membrane showed high resistance to PEG1000 which can be used in wastewater treatment with organic solvent.

Abstract In this study, a novel PVC/tourmaline ultrafiltration membrane was fabricated by phase inversion method in order to improve anti-fouling performance and water quality. FESEM was used to examine the changes in the morphology of pure PVC and PVC/tourmaline hybrid membranes. The introduction of tourmaline resulted in the increase of porosity and mean pore size. EDX images indicated that tourmaline particles were homogeneously dispersed in the membranes when the amount were less than 1.0 wt%. The hybrid membranes exhibited lower contact angle (78.7°) and higher water flux (121.3 L/m2 h) than the pure PVC membrane. The anti-fouling performance of the membranes were studied by filtration of BSA solution. The results demonstrated that the hybrid membrane with 1.0 wt% tourmaline particles exhibited the best anti-fouling performance and the highest BSA rejection. In addition, the pH and conductivity of the filtered water were measured by pH meter and electrical conductivity meter. And the results showed that the quality of the filtered water was improved after treating through the hybrid membranes.

Rice bran oil (RBO) contains naturally occurring antioxidants such as carotenoids, tocopherol, and γ-oryzanol. The aim of this research was to formulate and evaluate the characteristics of nanoemulsion which was prepared using RBO containing naturally occurring antioxidants. The RBO-in-water nanoemulsion was prepared by the emulsion phase inversion method. The oil phase of the nanoemulsion was prepared by either virgin coconut oil (VCO) or palm oil (PO) combined with RBO with the ratio of 5:5; 4:6, 3:7, 2:8 and 0:10. Tween 80 was used as a surfactant. The surfactant to oil ratios was predetermined at 2.5:1.0 and 3.0:1.0. The aqueous phase (80% w/w) was titrated into an organic phase that consisted of Tween 80 and oil phase (approximately 20% w/w). Droplet size, zeta-potential and polydispersity index of the nanoemulsion were used as the main parameters. The results showed that the smallest droplet (<100 nm) of the nanoemulsion was obtained when the ratio of VCO: RBO at 3:7 and the ratio of PO: RBO at 4:6 with the surfactant to oil ratio (SOR) was 2.5. Nanoemulsion with a relatively small polydispersity index of 0.3 was achieved when the ratio of PO: RBO was 3:7 and SOR at 3. All of the freshly prepared RBO containing nanoemulsion have good stability with zetapotential values of < -30 mV. Nanoemulsions were stable against centrifugation at 2300 rpm for 15 mins, but they were not stable against heating at 105°C for 5 hrs. The RBO-inwater nanoemulsion could be successfully prepared by phase inversion method, by combining RBO with either VCO or PO at different ratios.
