Abstract In this work, a series of polyetherimide (PEI) flat sheet membranes were produced with different concentrations of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) addition via the phase inversion method. The effects of additions on membrane morphology and performance were investigated. Synthesized membrane had the properties of ultrafiltration membrane. Although PEI is not widely used for water treatment, in this study, the ferrous iron removal rate was investigated and good results were obtained. Through the membrane production experiments, the PEI content was 22 wt%. PVP was added as a pore-forming agent with concentrations of 2, 4 and 8 wt%. N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) was used as solvent. Distilled water was used for the coagulation bath. After production, all membranes were characterized by using contact angle, permeability, porosity, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT/IR) analyses. With the increasing doses of PVP addition, the permeability of the PEI membranes produced in this study increased, while porosity results were changeable. The permeability was 23 L/m2h bar for the membrane with 2 wt% PVP content, while the permeability for the membrane with 8 wt% PVP content was 32 L/m2h bar. Contact angles increased with PVP addition to PEI membranes. With the increasing PVP concentration, the finger-like pores and the pores located in the sub-layer expanded.

In this work, the effect of different phase inversion process on membrane morphology and performance was studied. Polyethersulfone (PES) based polymeric membranes was fabricated containing polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and carboxylic functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) as additives and polyethylene glycol (PEG) having a molecular weight 1K, 10K and 35K (Dalton) were used as a model solution for observing the rejection/filteration ability of fabricated membranes. Non-solvent induce phase separation (NIP) and dry-wet phase separation (DWP) method was adopted for membrane synthesis. The FTIR spectra showed that PVP/MWCNT was effectively blended with PES polymer and different phase inversion method led to different internal morphologies of membranes as confirmed by FESEM images. The PEG rejection results suggested that membranes formed by DWP method had approximately double rejection ability than membranes formed by NIP process.

Microporous membranes were prepared by immersion precipitation phase inversion method from the semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) of shape memory polyurethane (SMPU) and poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM). The influence of material compostion and preparation procedure on the morphology of membranes such as pore structure and porosity was investigated by methods including Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). Both sponge-like structure and large-pore structure were found in the membranes. The introduction of PNIPAM content in the semi-IPN promotes the formation of large-pore structures and increases the porosity of membranes, due to the improvement of water diffusion into the casting solution. We also found that by increasing the temperature of coagulation bath and the concentration of DMF in the coagulation solution, the formation of large pores could be impeded, and membranes with more sponge-like structure could be prepared.

Chloromethylated polysulfone (PSF-Cl) porous microspheres were prepared with non-solvent induced phase inversion method for the immobilization of acidic ionic liquid ([MIMBS][HSO4]). FT-IR, SEM, and 1H-NMR were used to characterize the structure and property of polysulfone porous microsphere supported ionic liquid (PSF-ILs). The results showed that acidic ionic liquid was supported onto the PSF-Cl porous microspheres by covalent bond. Furthermore, the catalyst exhibited a good catalytic activity with about 57% acetic acid conversion rate after 8h reaction. After the catalyst was reused for 7 times in the synthesis of ethyl acetate, the yield only decreased 6%.

The Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) membrane has been prepared by phase inversion method using N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) as solvent and Poly Ethylene Glycol (PEG) as additive. The fabricated membrane was modified by Polydopamine (PDA) coating in concentration of 0.5 mg/ml and immersion times of 2 hours, 6 hours, and 24 hours. The characteristics and performance of the PVDF membranes before and after the modification are studied in this paper. The result of the water flux experiment showed that the PDA-coated PVDF membranes showcased a higher flux than that of pure PVDF membrane. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis confirmed that the membrane had an asymmetric structure consisting of two layers. There was no significant influence on the addition of PDA to the morphology of the pore matrix because the modification was done by surface coating. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis showed that PDA was successfully introduced on the surface of PVDF membrane with the appearance of O-H from cathecol and N-H peaks at wavenumber range of 3300-3600 cm-1. Modification with PDA increased the mechanical strength of the membrane which affirmed by the results of the tensile and elongation at break evaluation.

The approach of the present work is based on the use of poly (methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) polymer, which is compatible with PVDF and TiO2 nanoparticles in casting solutions, for the preparation of nano-composites membranes using a safer and more compatible solvent. TiO2 embedded poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/PMMA photocatalytic membranes were prepared by phase inversion method. A non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) coupled with vapor induced phase separation (VIPS) was used to fabricate flat-sheet membranes using a dope solution consisting of PMMA, PVDF, TiO2, and triethyl phosphate (TEP) as an alternative non-toxic solvent. Membrane morphology was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Backscatter electron detector (BSD) mapping was used to monitor the inter-dispersion of TiO2 in the membrane surface and matrix. The effects of polymer concentration, evaporation time, additives and catalyst amount on the membrane morphology and properties were investigated. Tests on photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) were also carried out using the membranes entrapped with different concentrations of TiO2. The results of this study showed that nearly 99% MB removal can be easily achieved by photocatalysis using TiO2 immobilized on the membrane matrix. Moreover, it was observed that the quantity of TiO2 plays a significant role in the dye removal.

The synthesis of polyethersulfone (PES)/polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) blend membrane was successfully developed by dry phase inversion method. The membrane morphology characterized using Field Emission Electron Microscope (FESEM) showed both polymers were homogeneously mixed and a dense structure was formed. A shift in characteristic peak for most chemical groups was observed in blend membrane as analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis which suggests the presence of molecular interaction between the blend polymers. The permeability of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) gases was recorded at a constant pressure of 10 bars and room temperature. The permeability across polymer blend membrane showed better performance as compared with native polymer membrane.

Filtration Properties

Polyethersulfone (PES)/polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membranes have been paid attention among membrane research subjects. However, very few studies are included in the literature. In our study, asymmetric ultrafiltration (UF) membranes were prepared from blends of PES/PAN with phase inversion method using water as coagulation bath. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) with Mw of 10,000 Da was used as pore former agent. N,N-dimethylformamide was used as solvent. The effects of different percentage of PVP and PES/PAN composition on morphology and water filtration properties were investigated. Membrane performances were examined using pure water and lake water filtration studies. Performances of pure water were less with the addition of PAN into the PES polymer casting solutions. However, long-term water filtration tests showed that PES/PAN blend membranes anti-fouling properties were much higher than the neat PES membranes. The contact angles of PES/PAN membranes were lower than neat PES membranes because of PAN addition in PES polymer casting solutions. Furthermore, it was found that PES/PAN blend UF membranes' dynamic mechanical analysis properties in terms of Young's modules were less than neat PES membrane because of decreasing amount of PES polymer.
