Abstract In this study, experiments were carried out for composite membrane synthesis with m-phenylenediamine (MPD), hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and methyl cellulose (MS) by changing process parameters (methyl cellulose ratio, synthesis temperature, stirring time, oven temperature). Taguchi Method, an optimization method for production, was applied to 4 levels 4 parameters. The silica solution was passed through the produced composite membrane, and the filtering property of the membrane for different periods was examined. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) were used for characterization of composite membranes. Shore A test was performed to determine the mechanical strength of composite membranes. The amount of silica in membranes obtained because of the silica treatment was determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) analysis. As a result, it was seen that the composite membranes produced could be evaluated in the treatment of wastewater containing silica.

Using biodegradable polymer polycaprolactone (PCL) and zeolite, the present experiment was conducted with the aim of using biodegradable PCL and zeolite based composite membrane to remove silver in drinking water. After optimizing the electrospinning parameters, a double-layered PCL and PCL/zeolite electrospun composite membranes were manufactured. The membranes were then characterized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and an energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and the filtration phenomenon was conducted by dispersing silver nanoparticles in water. After comparing the filtration results using an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), it was observed that the bi-layered membrane filtered 90% of silver present in the water. The present work shows that the new PCL/zeolite based double-layered membrane can be promising to remove contaminants in drinking water.

Background: Conventional analytical methods for phosphorus and sulfur determination in several matrices present normally analytical challenges regarding inaccuracy, detectability and waste generation. Objective: The main objective is proposing a green and feasible analytical method for phosphorus and sulfur determination in animal feed. Methods: Synergic effect between microwave and ultraviolet radiations during sample preparation was evaluated for the first time for the animal feed digestion associated with further phosphorus and sulfur determination by ion chromatography with conductivity detection. Dissolved carbon and residual acidity in final digests were used for the proposed method assessment. Phosphorus and sulfur values were compared with those obtained using conventional microwave-assisted wet digestion in closed vessels associated with inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry and with those obtained using Association of Official Analytical Chemists International official method. Recovery tests and certified reference material analysis were performed. Animal feeds were analyzed using the proposed method. Results: Sample masses of 500 mg were efficiently digested using only 2 mol L -1 HNO3. The results obtained by the proposed method was not differing significantly (p > 0.05) from those obtained by the conventional and official methods. Suitable recoveries (from 94 to 99%), agreement with certified values (101 and 104%) and relative standard deviations (< 8%) were achieved. Phosphorus and sulfur content in commercial products varied in a wide range (P: 5,873 to 28,387 mg kg-1 and S: 2,165 to 4,501 mg kg-1 ). Conclusion: The proposed method is a green, safe, accurate, precise and sensitive alternative for animal feed quality control.
