The diffusion of two series of alcohols and amides through complex cellulose acetate membranes was studied. The thin dense part of these membranes behaves as a nonporous layer of low water content. In this layer, called the skin, the solute diffusion coefficients, ω, depend upon size, steric configuration, and the partition coefficient, K8, between membrane and bathing solution. From the experimental values of ω and K8, the over-all friction, f, experienced by the solutes in the membrane was computed. It was found that f depends upon the chemical nature of the solute and is related to hydrogen-bonding ability. In the coarse, porous layer of the cellulose acetate membrane, diffusion occurs mainly through aqueous channels. In this instance also the hydrogen-bonding ability of the solute seems to exercise a smaller but significant influence.

Cellulose Acetate Membranes

Ultrafiltration cellulose acetate membrane can be transformed by annealing into reverse osmosis membranes (RO type). Annealing brings about changes in structural properties of the membranes, accompanied by changes in their permeability behaviour and electrical properties. Correlations between structure parameters and electrochemical properties are shown for the temperature range 20-90 °C. Relations have been derived which explain the role played by the dc electrical conductivity in the characterization of rejection ability of the membranes in the reverse osmosis, i.e. rRO = (1 + exp (A-B))-1, where exp A and exp B are statistically significant correlation functions of electrical conductivity and salt permeation, or of electrical conductivity and water flux through the membrane, respectively.

This study presents a new, revolutionary, and easy method of separating Gd (III). For this purpose, a cellulose acetate membrane surface was modified in three steps, as follows: firstly, with aminopropyl triethoxysylene; then with glutaraldehyde; and at the end, by immobilization of crown ethers. The obtained membranes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), through which the synthesis of membranes with Gd (III) separation properties is demonstrated. In addition, for the Gd (III) separating process, a gadolinium nitrate solution, with applications of moderator poison in nuclear reactors, was used. The membranes retention performance has been demonstrated by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), showing a separation efficiency of up to 91%, compared with the initial feed solution.

<p><em>Industrial waste water area that flows in the River Flood Canal Semarang can affect the environment if not done processing. Membrane is one alternative water treatment technologies with the principle of filtration. The presence of fouling is a problem encountered in the use of the membrane. In this study will be made of non-fouling nanofiltration membranes made from cellulose acetate. Manufacture of cellulose acetate membrane is accomplished by phase inversion method, which is changing the shape of the polymer solid phase into the liquid phase rich in solvent into solids (membrane) which is rich in polymer. Therefore, the aim of this study was to create a non-fouling nanofiltration membrane using cellulose acetate polymer as well as assess the effect of PEG additives and pre-treatment with UV light to the surface of the structure and performance of cellulose acetate membranes for produced water treatment. Research using cellulose acetate membranes for wastewater treatment is done by varying the type of PEG 1500 and 4000, variations of PEG of 1, 3 and 5% by weight and a UV irradiation for 10, 20 and 30 seconds. The research followed by testing the performance of the membrane in wastewater treatment using a dead-end filtration with the parameters of flux and rejection. Characterization of the membrane was analyzed with SEM and FTIR. Analysis of the results was conducted to determine the levels of turbidity, TDS, COD, Ca<sup>2+</sup>, S<sup>2-</sup> and oil in waste water before and after passing through the membrane.</em><em></em></p>

The casting and preparation of ultrafiltration ZnO modified cellulose acetate membrane (CA/ZnO) were investigated in this work. CA membranes were fabricated by phase inversion using dimethylformamide (DMF) as a solvent and ZnO as nanostructures materials. Ultrafiltration (UF) performance, mechanical stability, morphology, contact angle, and porosity were evaluated on both CA- and ZnO-modified CA samples. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to determine the morphology of the membranes, showing different pore sizes either on rough surfaces and cross-sections of the samples, an asymmetric structure and ultra-scale pores with an average pore radius 0.0261 to 0.045 µm. Contact angle measurements showed the highest hydrophobicity values for the samples with no ZnO addition, ranging between 48° and 82.7° on their airside. The permeability values decreased with the increasing CA concentration in the casting solution, as expected; however, ZnO-modified membranes produced lower flux than the pure CA ones. Nevertheless, ZnO modified CA membranes have higher surface pore size, pore density and porosity, and improved surface hydrophilicity compared with pure CA membranes. The results indicated that the incorporated nano-ZnO tends to limit the packing of the polymer chains onto the membrane structure while showing antifouling properties leading to better hydrophilicity and permeation with consistent UF applications.

Cellulose acetate (CA) membrane was produced from CA powder, formamid, and acetone. Annealing temperature of 80C and evaporation times of 30, 60, and 90 seconds were chosen in preparation of the CA membranes named R530, R560, and R590, respectively. The membranes were tested using a dead-end stirred cell for filtration of NaCl salt, iron, manganese, and arsenic in the laboratory-prepared water and groundwater. Results of the tests using a membrane R530 at 400 psi showed, that the rejection efficiencies for salt, iron, and manganese in laboratory-prepared water with 3000 ppm NaCl , 2.0 ppm Fe, and 2.0 ppm Mn were 87%, 99%, and 92%, respectively, with a permeate flux of 21 Lm-2hr-1. Tests for the groundwater containing 4815 ppm NaCl and 5.48 ppm Mn without acid treatment showed that membrane R530 gave the flux and rejection for salt and manganese at 24 Lm-2hr-1, 85% and 98%, and for iron and manganese at 21 Lm-2hr-1, 93% and 99%, respectively. In the filtration of arsenic, the prepared membrane had a As rejection of 68 - 70% at 300 and 400 psi when the feed was the laboratory prepared 1 ppm As+3 contaminated water but it was found to be more than 82 - 96% when the feed was a natural water. This is probably because the prepared membrane had a higher rejection efficiency for As+5 ions than As+3 ions. Ion selective capability of the CA membrane shows the potential to use the membrane in filtration of selective ions.

Heparin-like anticoagulant materials have been intensively studied over the past several years, many of effective works focus on the preparation of homogeneous sulfonated polymer and further anticoagulation and filtration properties.1 Due to high water-soluble properties of homogeneous materials, its applied scope is limited. In this study, nanofibrous membrane of cellulose acetate is chosen. By controlling degree of hydrolysis on the membrane surface and its further surface sulfonation, heparin-like surface has been built on cellulose derivative membranes where there are plenty of sulfonic acid group. In this paper, some testing means such as surface contact angle, ATR-FTIR, XPS and platelet adhesion are used to characterize membrane properties. The results show that our research approach is feasible, effects of hydrolysis and sulfonation are obvious on cellulose acetate membranes. In the meantime, the surface hydrophilicity of membrane is increased significantly; In addition, patelet adhesion experiments show that platelets adsorption decrease obviously after heparin-like treatment on the cellulose acetate membrane, showing an excellent anticoagulant activity.
