Poly (vinyl chloride) /poly (acrylonitrile) (PVC/PAN) hollow fiber membrane was prepared by phase inversion method and it was hydrolyzed in different NaOH solution concentration. After hydrolysis modified, the change of surface characteristic of the PVC/PAN hollow fiber membrane was described by Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflection spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR) and water contact angle. Morphological structures of membranes were observed by field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). Protein filtration was employed to evaluate the antifouling performance of the membrane. All these results demonstrated that PVC/PAN hollow fiber membrane modified by hydrolysis showed high permeation flux, good hydrophilicity and antifouling.

Polysulfone (PSf) hollow fiber ultrafiltration (UF) membranes were surface-modified by the UV-induced graft polymerization of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS). Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were employed to characterize the structural and morphological changes on the membrane surface. Water contact angle of PSf-g-AMPS membrane surface decreased to 15.45° when AMPS concentration was 2 wt.%, which was nearly 35° lower than that of the unmodified membrane. The results of streaming potential measurement at different pressures implied the negatively charged characteristic of the PSf-g-AMPS membrane. The flux of PSf-g-AMPS membrane increased about 60% as compared to original PSf membrane and the rejection of heparin sodium for PSf-g-AMPS membrane achieved 78%, which was about 4 times that of PSf membrane at 0.04 MPa.

Abstract To obtain a long-term stable operation of the hollow fiber membrane for using in membrane contact absorption of carbon dioxide (CO2), hybrid polyvinylidene fluoride-silica-hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (PVDF-SiO2-HDTMS) membrane were fabricated via the non-solvent induced phase-inversion method. The surface properties, performance characteristics and long-term stable operation performance of the prepared membranes were compared and analyzed. The results show the outer surface of the prepared membranes exhibited superhydrophobicity because of the formation of rough nano-scale microstructures and the low surface free energy. Due to the addition of inorganic nanoparticles, the mechanical strength of PVDF-SiO2-HDTMS membranes were improved. The long-term stable operation experiments were carried out with the inlet gas (CO2/N2 = 19/81, v/v) at a flow rate of 20 mL/min and the absorbent liquid (1 mol/L DEA) at a flow rate of 50 mL/min. And the result showed that the mass transfer flux of PVDF-SiO2-HDTMS membrane decreased from the initial value of 2.39×10-3 mol/m2s to 2.31×10-3 mol/m2s, which was a decrease of 3% after 20 days. The main benefit is the addition of inorganic nanoparticles, which have strong chemical resistance and high hydrophobicity, thereby preventing structural damage and pore wetting of the membrane. PVDF-SiO2-HDTMS membrane exhibits excellent long-term stable operation performance of CO2.

Polyethersulfone/zinc oxide mixed matrix hollow fiber membrane was fabricated using dry/wet phase inversion method. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (2 wt.%) were dispersed in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) solvent in the present of polyvinylepyrrolidene. The dope solution speed and take up speed was similar with performing the spinning process at room temperature. The produced membranes were characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis. Membrane performance was evaluated using pure water flux (PWF), relative flux ration (RFR), and total organic carbon (TOC) removal efficiency. From SEM analysis, it was found that the nanoparticles were well dispersed in the polymeric matrix. From AFM results, it was observed that the modified membrane has higher surface roughness. The PWF of the modified membrane was enhanced, while the RFR showed to increase due to rougher membrane surface. The NOM remaoval of PES/ZnO membrane was higher than that of PES membrane and reached to 27% compared to only 16.9 % for pristine PES.

Pvdf Membrane

Poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and poly-sulfone (PSF) polymer solutions were made at a concentration of 18% by weight of the polymer as a non-soluble additive of polymer solution in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) solvent. PVDF and PSF hollow fiber membranes were fabricated via the wet phase-inversion process. Fabricated membranes were characterized in terms of gas permeability, wetting resistance, water contact angle and overall porosity. In order to study the structure of the membranes made, the scanning electron microscopy images of the model (TM3000, HITACHI, Japan) were used. The morphology study indicates that the PSF membrane shows an open cross-section structure with smaller pore sizes. However, the PVDF membrane illustrates a thick sponge-like structure. The fabricated PVDF membrane shows higher wetting resistance, surface porosity, water contact angle, and N2 permeability. The performance of the produced membranes was examined for the Absorption of carbon dioxide in a gas-liquid contactor membrane through the solution of mono-ethanolamine (MEA). The results show that CO2 absorption flux of the PVDF hollow fiber membrane is higher than PSF hollow fiber membrane. The maximum CO2 absorption flux of 8.10 × 10-3 (mole/m2 s) at the liquid phase flow rate of 300 ml/min for PVDF hollow fiber membrane was achieved and also the maximum CO2 absorption flux of 6.50 × 10-3 (mole/m2 s) at the liquid phase flow rate of 300 ml/min for PSF hollow fiber membrane was obtained. It can be concluded that a porous hydrophobic hollow fiber membrane with high surface porosity and high gas permeability can be a productive alternative for CO2 absorption through gas-liquid membrane contactors.

Abstract Porous superhydrophobic layer of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) was created by a simple approach on the Poly(vinylidenefluoride) (PVDF) hollow fiber membranes. Acetone and ethanol mixtures with different volume ratios were used as the non-solvent on the coating surface. A 5:1 (v/v) acetone/ethanol ratio provided a porous surface with a 152° ± 3.2 water contact angle. The high contact angle could reduce membrane wettability for better carbon dioxide capture when the membrane was used as gas-liquid contactor in absorption processes. To assess the effect of the created superhydrophobic layer, the pristine and modified membranes were tested in a CO2 absorption system for ten days. The results revealed that the absorption flux in the modified membrane was higher than that of pristine membrane.
