Abstract:
Enhancing the membrane water permeability without undermining selectivity has strong potential to reduce the cost of loose nanofiltration (LNF) which attracts growing interest in water and wastewater treatments. Herein, we report a novel polyelectrolyte multilayer LNF membrane with intercalated surfactant self-assemblies. The LNF membranes with integrated surfactant self-assemblies exhibit outstanding permeability to water and selectivity to organic macromolecules such as humic acid and methyl blue. Specifically, the integration of surfactant self-assemblies, SSA, enhances the water permeability by more than 5-fold compared to the reference LNF membrane and, at the same time, increases humic acid rejection from 93% to 98%. The SSA integrated LNF membranes also demonstrate superior performance in terms of permselectivity compared to other membranes in the literature for similar separation (humic acid removal).
