RESUMEN

Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) are a new class of crystalline porous materials that are formed through the interconnection of organic or metal-organic building units via intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The remarkable flexibility and reversibility of hydrogen bonds, coupled with the customizable nature of organic units, endow HOFs with mild synthesis conditions, high crystallinity, solvent processability, and facile self-healing and regeneration properties. Consequently, these features have garnered significant attention across various fields, particularly in the realm of membrane separation. Herein, we present an overview of the recent advances in HOF-based membranes, including their advanced fabrication strategies and fascinating applications in membrane separation. To attain the desired HOF-based membranes, careful consideration is dedicated to crucial factors such as pore size, stability, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, and surface charge of the HOFs. Additionally, diverse preparation methods for HOF-based membranes, including blending, in situ growth, solution-processing, and electrophoretic deposition, have been analyzed. Furthermore, applications of HOF-based membranes in gas separation, water treatment, fuel cells, and other emerging application areas are presented. Finally, the challenges and prospects of HOF-based membranes are critically pointed out.

RESUMEN

Assembling metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into high-performance macroscopic membranes is crucial but still challenging. MOF-containing hybrid membranes can effectively integrate the advantages of flexible guest materials and MOFs. Nevertheless, the inherent limitations in fully harnessing the distinct characteristics of MOFs persist due to the substantial guest material content necessitated in membrane fabrication. Herein, inspired by the rigid and flexible structures in biological systems, rigid MIP-202(Zr) and defective MIP-202(Zr) (D-MIP-202(Zr)) modified flexible graphene oxide (GO) sheets are synthesized in situ and then assembled into a rigid-flexible coupled MOF-based membrane. The defects in D-MIP-202(Zr) are introduced by using acetic acid as the modulation agent. The obtained GO@MIP-202(Zr) membrane possesses a hierarchical porous structure with a 99 wt% MOF proportion, which is higher than the GO@D-MIP-202(Zr) (75 wt%) membrane with a compact bulge-structured surface. The water permeability of the GO@MIP-202(Zr) membrane attains remarkedly 5762.92 L h-1 m-2 bar-1 , which is 960 and 2.6 times higher than that of the GO membrane and GO@D-MIP-202(Zr) membrane. Additionally, benefiting from the superhydrophilicity and underwater superoleophobicity, the resultant membrane not only demonstrates high rejection for oil-water emulsions but also exhibits exceptional recyclability and anti-fouling ability. These findings provide valuable insights into the assembly of MOFs into high-performance membranes.

RESUMEN

The conventional membranes used for separating oil/water emulsions are typically limited by the properties of the membrane materials and the impact of membrane fouling, making continuous long-term usage unachievable. In this study, a filtering electrode with synchronous self-cleaning functionality is devised, exhibiting notable antifouling ability and an extended operational lifespan, suitable for the continuous separation of oil/water emulsions. Compared with the original Ti foam, the in situ growth of NiTi-LDH (Layered double hydroxide) nano-flowers endows the modified Ti foam (NiTi-LDH/TF) with exceptional superhydrophilicity and underwater superoleophobicity. Driven by gravity, a rejection rate of over 99% is achieved for various emulsions containing oil content ranging from 1% to 50%, as well as oil/seawater emulsions. The flux recovery rate exceeds 90% after one hundred cycles and a 4-h filtration period. The enhanced separation performance is realized through the "gas bridge" effect during in situ aeration and electrochemical anodic oxidation. The internal aeration within the membrane pores contributes to the removal of oil foulants. This study underscores the potential of coupling foam metal filtration materials with electrochemical technology, providing a paradigm for the exploration of novel oil/water separation membranes.

RESUMEN

In the evolving landscape of water treatment, membrane technology has ascended to an instrumental role, underscored by its unmatched efficacy and ubiquity. Diverse synthesis and modification techniques are employed to fabricate state-of-the-art liquid separation membranes. Click reactions, distinguished by their rapid kinetics, minimal byproduct generation, and simple reaction condition, emerge as a potent paradigm for devising eco-functional materials. While the metal-free thiol-ene click reaction is acknowledged as a viable approach for membrane material innovation, a systematic elucidation of its applicability in liquid separation membrane development remains conspicuously absent. This review elucidates the pre-functionalization strategies of substrate materials tailored for thiol-ene reactions, notably highlighting thiolation and introducing unsaturated moieties. The consequential implications of thiol-ene reactions on membrane properties-including trade-off effect, surface wettability, and antifouling property-are discussed. The application of thiol-ene reaction in fabricating various liquid separation membranes for different water treatment processes, including wastewater treatment, oil/water separation, and ion separation, are reviewed. Finally, the prospects of thiol-ene reaction in designing novel liquid separation membrane, including pre-functionalization, products prediction, and solute-solute separation membrane, are proposed. This review endeavors to furnish invaluable insights, paving the way for expanding the horizons of thiol-ene reaction application in liquid separation membrane fabrication.

RESUMEN

Wastewater treatment is effectively conducted using anaerobic biological methods. Nevertheless, the efficiency of these methods can be hindered by challenges like short-circuits and dead zones, particularly in treating persistent contaminants. This work utilized computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to enhance water distribution, ensuring uniform interactions between solid and liquid phases, and thus mitigating issues related to short-circuits and dead zones. Such enhancements notably amplified the anaerobic biological process's efficiency. Furthermore, dye biodegradability was improved through the application of the hydrolysis acidification technique. Optimal hydraulic retention time for the hydrolysis-acidification reactor, established at 9 h, was determined via sludge cultivation and domestication for stable operation. During stable operation, an elevation in effluent volatile fatty acids was observed, alongside a COD removal rate fluctuating between 15% and 29%. Approximately 50% was noted as the rate of color removal. Simultaneously, a noticeable decrease in effluent pH occurred, with total nitrogen removal approximating 8%. An estimated BOD5/COD ratio of 0.32 was recorded. The incorporation of microbial agents led to an enhanced COD removal, ranging from 28% to 33%, thereby stabilizing the effluent BOD5/COD ratio at around 0.35. This research highlights the advantages of optimizing water distribution in anaerobic reactors, particularly when combined with hydrolysis-acidification techniques, effectively addressing issues of short-circuits and dead zones.

RESUMEN

In the sludge dewatering process, a formidable challenge arises due to the robust interactions between extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and bound water. This study introduces a novel, synergistic conditioning method that combines iron (Fe2+)/peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and polyacrylamide (PAM) to significantly enhance sludge dewatering efficiency. The application of the Fe2+/PMS-PAM conditioning method led to a substantial reduction in specific filtration resistance (SFR) by 82.75% and capillary suction time (CST) by 80.44%, marking a considerable improvement in dewatering performance. Comprehensive analyses revealed that pre-oxidation with Fe2+/PMS in the Fe2+/PMS-PAM process effectively degraded EPS, facilitating the release of bound water. Subsequently, PAM enhanced the flocculation of fine sludge particles resulting from the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Furthermore, analysis based on the Extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (XDLVO) theory demonstrated shifts in interaction energies, highlighting the breakdown of energy barriers within the sludge and a transition in surface characteristics from hydrophilic (3.79 mJ m-2) to hydrophobic (-61.86 mJ m-2). This shift promoted the spontaneous aggregation of sludge particles. The innovative use of the Flory-Huggins theory provided insights into the sludge filtration mechanism from a chemical potential perspective, linking these changes to SFR. The introduction of Fe2+/PMS-PAM conditioning disrupted the uniformity of the EPS-formed gel layer, significantly reducing the chemical potential difference between the permeate and the water in the gel layer, leading to a lower SFR and enhanced dewatering performance. This thermodynamic approach significantly enhances our understanding of sludge dewatering and conditioning. These findings represent a paradigm shift, offering innovative strategies for sludge treatment and expanding our comprehension of dewatering and conditioning techniques.

RESUMEN

The research presented herein explores the development of a novel iron-carbon composite, designed specifically for the improved treatment of high-concentration antibiotic wastewater. Employing a nitrogen-shielded thermal calcination approach, the investigation utilizes a blend of reductive iron powder, activated carbon, bentonite, copper powder, manganese dioxide, and ferric oxide to formulate an efficient iron-carbon composite. The oxygen exclusion process in iron-carbon particles results in distinctive electrochemical cells formation, markedly enhancing wastewater degradation efficiency. Iron-carbon micro-electrolysis not only boosts the biochemical degradability of concentrated antibiotic wastewater but also mitigates acute biological toxicity. In response to the increased Fe2+ levels found in micro-electrolysis wastewater, this research incorporates Fenton oxidation for advanced treatment of the micro-electrolysis byproducts. Through the synergistic application of iron-carbon micro-electrolysis and Fenton oxidation, this research accomplishes a significant decrease in the initial COD levels of high-concentration antibiotic wastewater, reducing them from 90,000 mg/L to about 30,000 mg/L, thus achieving an impressive removal efficiency of 66.9%. This integrated methodology effectively reduces the pollutant load, and the recycling of Fe2+ in the Fenton process additionally contributes to the reduction in both the volume and cost associated with solid waste treatment. This research underscores the considerable potential of the iron-carbon composite material in efficiently managing high-concentration antibiotic wastewater, thereby making a notable contribution to the field of environmental science.

RESUMEN

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have gained significant recognition for their facile synthesis and super-hydrophilic two-dimensional (2D) structure to fabricate antifouling membranes for oily wastewater separation. However, conventional PVDF membranes, due to their hydrophobic nature and inert matrix, often exhibit insufficient permeance and compatibility. In this study, a novel NiFe-LDH@MnO2/PVDF membrane was synthesized using ultrasonic, redox, and microwave-hydrothermal processes. This innovative approach cultivated grass-like NiFe-LDH@MnO2 nanoparticles within an inert PVDF matrix, promoting the growth of highly hydrophilic composites. The presence of NiFe-LDH@MnO2 resulted in pronounced enhancements in surface morphology, interfacial wettability, and oil rejection for the fabricated membrane. The optimal NiFe-LDH@MnO2/PVDF-2 membrane exhibited an extremely high pure water flux (1364 L m-2•h-1), and increased oil rejection (from 81.2% to 93.5%) without sacrificing water permeation compared to the original PVDF membrane. Additionally, the NiFe-LDH@MnO2/PVDF membrane demonstrated remarkable antifouling properties, evident by an exceptional fouling resistance ratio of 96.8% following slight water rinsing. Mechanistic insights into the enhanced antifouling performance were elucidated through a comparative "semi-immersion" investigation. The facile synthesis method, coupled with the improved membrane performance, highlights the potential application prospects of this hybrid membrane in emulsified oily wastewater treatment and environmental remediation.

RESUMEN

Membrane-based carbon dioxide (CO2 ) capture and separation technologies have aroused great interest in industry and academia due to their great potential to combat current global warming, reduce energy consumption in chemical separation of raw materials, and achieve carbon neutrality. The emerging covalent organic frameworks (COFs) composed of organic linkers via reversible covalent bonds are a class of porous crystalline polymers with regular and extended structures. The inherent structure and customizable organic linkers give COFs high and permanent porosity, short transport channel, tunable functionality, and excellent stability, thereby enabling them rising-star alternatives for developing advanced CO2 separation membranes. Therefore, the promising research areas ranging from development of COF membranes to their separation applications have emerged. Herein, this review first introduces the main advantages of COFs as the state-of-the-art membranes in CO2 separation, including tunable pore size, modifiable surfaces property, adjustable surface charge, excellent stability. Then, the preparation approaches of COF-based membranes are systematically summarized, including in situ growth, layer-by-layer stacking, blending, and interface engineering. Subsequently, the key advances of COF-based membranes in separating various CO2 mixed gases, such as CO2 /CH4 , CO2 /H2 , CO2 /N2 , and CO2 /He, are comprehensively discussed. Finally, the current issues and further research expectations in this field are proposed.

RESUMEN

This study investigated the combined effects of polymeric aluminum chloride (PAC) and polyacrylamide (PAM) on sludge dewatering, aiming to unveil underlying mechanisms. Co-conditioning with 15 mg g-1 PAC and 1 mg g-1 PAM achieved optimal dewatering, reducing specific filtration resistance (SFR) of co-conditioned sludge to 4.38 × 1012 m-1kg-1, a mere 48.1% of raw sludge's SFR. Compared with the CST of raw sludge (36.45 s), sludge sample can be significantly reduced to 17.7 s. Characterization tests showed enhanced neutralization and agglomeration in co-conditioned sludge. Theoretical calculations revealed elimination of interaction energy barriers between sludge particles post co-conditioning, converting sludge surface from hydrophilic (3.03 mJ m-2) to hydrophobic (-46.20 mJ m-2), facilitating spontaneous agglomeration. Findings explain improved dewatering performance. Based on Flory-Huggins lattice theory, connection between polymer structure and SFR was established. Raw sludge formation triggered significant change in chemical potential, increasing bound water retention capacity and SFR. In contrast, co-conditioned sludge exhibited thinnest gel layer, reducing SFR and significantly improving dewatering. These findings represent a paradigm shift, shedding new light on fundamental thermodynamic mechanisms of sludge dewatering with different chemical conditioning.

RESUMEN

Ion exchange resin process is a widely used process in wastewater treatment plants, but its waste brine is characterized by high salinity and nitrate concentration, leading to costly treatment. This study innovatively explored the use of an up-flow anaerobic sludge bed (USB) for the treatment of waste brine from ion exchange resin process, following a pilot-scale ion exchange resin process. Specifically, the D890 ion exchange resin was employed for nitrate removal from secondary effluent, with resin regeneration using 4% NaCl solution. The USB was inoculated with anaerobic granular sludge and acclimated under various single-factor conditions, which revealed the optimal pH range of 6.5-9, salt concentration of 2%, hydraulic retention time of 12 h, C/N ratio of 3.3, and up-flow velocity of 1.5 m/h for reactor operation. This study provides a novel approach for the cost-effective treatment of waste brine from ion exchange resin process. The study found that the denitrification efficiency was highest when the NO3--N concentration was around 200 mg/L, with NO3--N and TN removal rates exceeding 95% and 90%, respectively, under optimal operating conditions. Characterization of the granular sludge during different phases of the operation revealed a significant increase in proteobacteria and gradually became the dominant species over time. This study presents a novel, cost-effective approach to treat waste brine from ion exchange resin process, and the long-term stable operation of the reactor offers a reliable option for resin regeneration wastewater treatment.

RESUMEN

Macroporous ion exchange resin has excellent selectivity to nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and partially soluble refractory organic compounds contained in the secondary effluent of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). In this study, macroporous ion exchange resins were chosen as an alternative to single biochemical nitrogen removal processes. Various conditions were examined to optimize adsorption performance, and the adsorption mechanism was explored through isotherm fitting, thermodynamic parameter calculation, and kinetic analysis. The experiment demonstrated that the resin exhibited strong selectivity for nitrate (NO3-) and achieved an equilibrium adsorption amount of 9.8924 mg/g and an equilibrium adsorption time of 60 min at 25 °C. The resin denitrification pilot plant demonstrated stable operation for two months and achieved COD<20 mg/L, TN < 1.5 mg/L, and NH4+-N<0.5 mg/L. The removal rates of COD, TP, NH4+-N, NO3--N, and TN were 41.65%, 42.96%, 55.37%, 91.8%, and 90.81%, respectively. After the resin was regenerated, the removal rates of NO3--N, TN and the regeneration recovery rate were above 90%. Through cost analysis, the treatment cost of the pilot plant is only 0.104 $/m3. This study presents a practical, low-cost, and efficient treatment method for the deep treatment of secondary effluent from WWTP in practical engineering, providing new ideas and theoretical guidance.

RESUMEN

In China, many studies have been carried out on pesticide residues in human milk, yet all of them are on organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and mostly focused on large, economically developed cities. In this study, 27 pesticides including OCPs, pyrethroid pesticides (PYRs) and organophosphate pesticides (OPPs) in human milk were investigated in Jinhua, an inland and medium sized city in China. Method based on QuEChERS extraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) determination was adopted to analyze the above pesticide residues. The influencing factors as well as the health risks were also evaluated. Results show that PYRs and OPPs in human milk samples were both undetectable. Regarding OCPs, the detection rate of hexachlorobenzene (HCB), ß-hexachlorocyclohexane (ß-HCH) and p,p'-dichlorodiphenyl-dichloroethylene (p,p'-DDE) were 83.6%, 36.4% and 58.2%, respectively, and their mean value were 29.4, 32.0 and 85.2 ng/g lipid, respectively. p,p'-DDE levels in human milk was significantly (p < 0.05) related to maternal age, but no association was detected between OCPs residues and other factors (living environment, dietary habit, living style, etc.), suggesting that OCPs in human milk in Jinhua were originated from nonspecific source. All estimated daily intake of pesticides (EDIpesticides) by infants were under the guideline suggested by Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and China Ministry of Health (CMH). Yet 9% of EDIsHCB and 16% of EDIsHCHs exceeded the guideline recommended by Health Canada. The associations between DDE residues and the delivery way as well as HCBs residues and the birth weight were seemly significant, yet the significance disappeared when consider age or gestational age as a cofounder, indicating that OCPs residue in mother's body in Jinhua has no obvious influence on fetus development and the delivery way.

RESUMEN

The purpose of this study was to develop the multiple regression models to evaluate the formation of trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetonitriles (HANs) during chlorination of source water with low specific ultraviolet absorbance (SUVA) in Yangtze River Delta, China. The results showed that the regression models of THMs exhibited good accuracy and precision, and 86-97 % of the calculated values fell within ±25 % of the measured values. While the HANs models showed relatively weak evaluation ability, as only 75-83 % of the calculated values were within ±25 % of the measured values. The organic matter [dissolved organic carbon (DOC) or UV absorbance at 254 nm] and bromide exerted the most important influence on the formation of HANs. While for THMs, besides the organic matter and bromide, reaction time was also a key factor. Comparing the models for total THMs (T-THMs) in this study with others revealed that the regression models from the low SUVA waters may have low DOC coefficients, but high bromide coefficients as compared with those from the high SUVA waters.

RESUMEN

Microplastics (MPs) are recognized as a significant challenge to water treatment processes due to their ability to adsorb or accumulate alginate foulants, impacting the coagulation-ultrafiltration (CUF) process. In this study, the mechanisms of membrane fouling caused by MPs under varying dosages of polymeric aluminum chloride (PAC) coagulant in the CUF process were investigated. It was revealed that MPs contribute to membrane fouling, which initially intensifies and then alleviates as coagulant concentration increases, with a turning point at 0.05 mM PAC dosage. The most significant alleviation of membrane fouling was observed at 0.2 mM PAC dosage. An in-depth analysis of interfacial interaction energy changes during filtration was conducted using the extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (XDLVO) theory, demonstrating how MPs alter the interaction forces between foulants and the membrane surface, leading to either the exacerbation or mitigation of fouling. Additionally, it was shown that at optimal coagulant concentrations, the presence of MPs promotes the formation of a loose and porous cake layer, disrupting the original structure and creating a more open block structure, thereby alleviating membrane fouling. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing the CUF process in microplastic-containing water treatment, presenting a novel approach to enhancing efficiency and reducing membrane fouling.

RESUMEN

The escalation of industrial activities has escalated the production of pharmaceutical and dyeing effluents, raising significant environmental issues. In this investigation, a hybrid approach of Fenton-like reactions and adsorption was used for deep treatment of these effluents, focusing on effects of variables like hydrogen peroxide concentration, catalyst type, pH, reaction duration, temperature, and adsorbent quantity on treatment effectiveness, and the efficacy of acid-modified attapulgite (AMATP) and ferric iron (Fe(III))-loaded AMATP (Fe(III)-AMATP) was examined. Optimal operational conditions were determined, and the possibility of reusing the catalysts was explored. Employing Fe3O4 as a heterogeneous catalyst and AMATP for adsorption, CODCr was reduced by 78.38-79.14%, total nitrogen by 71.53-77.43%, and phosphorus by 97.74-98.10% in pharmaceutical effluents. Similarly, for dyeing effluents, Fe(III)-AMATP achieved 79.87-80.94% CODCr, 68.59-70.93% total nitrogen, and 79.31-83.33% phosphorus reduction. Regeneration experiments revealed that Fe3O4 maintained 59.48% efficiency over three cycles, and Fe(III)-AMATP maintained 62.47% efficiency over four cycles. This work offers an economical, hybrid approach for effective pharmaceutical and dyeing effluent treatment, with broad application potential.

RESUMEN

In this work, Bi2S3 nanoflowers were in situ anchored on the surface of Ti3C2 via a hydrothermal process to obtain MXene-supported Ti3C2/Bi2S3 nanocomposite, then incorporated inside in sodium alginate polymer to prepared hydrogel materials (Ti3C2/Bi2S3@SA-H) which outperforms and have an excellent capability for the removal of pollutants like disinfected byproducts. The synthesized hydrogel material Ti3C2/Bi2S3@SA-H may be utilized for a variety of functional materials in environmental applications. Furthermore, the Ti3C2/Bi2S3@SA-H was characterized by SEM, EDX, XRD, BET, AFM, FTIR, Zeta potential, XPS, Raman and TGA. Remarkably, Ti3C2/Bi2S3@SA-H hydrogel 0.007 cm3 g-1, 159.5 nm and 0.0017 cm3 g-1, 160.5 nm materials exhibited the highest average pore diameter. The research focused on evaluating the adsorption capability of Ti3C2/Bi2S3@SA-H hydrogel materials for 2,6-dibromo-4-nitrophenol (DBNP), 2,4,6-triiodophenol (TIP), 2,4,6-Trichlorophenol (TCP) and 2,6-dichloro-4-nitrophenol (DCNP). The findings indicated that the material exhibited the eradication efficiency of about 662, 657, 647 and 617 mg/g from DBNP, TIP, TCP and DCNP respectively. Several adsorption isotherms were extensively examined, encompassing the Temkin, Langmuir and Freundlich models, alongside pseudo-first and second-order models. The Langmuir and pseudo-second-order models showed the highest degree of consistency with the observed data. Concerning regeneration and reusability, the materials demonstrated easy regeneration and effective recyclability over the course of 10 cycles. The notable adsorption capacity, coupled with the innovative combination of Ti3C2/Bi2S3 and polymer hydrogel, along with its recyclability, positions our material Ti3C2/Bi2S3@SA-H as a highly prospective competitors for wastewater treatment and other critical areas in water research.
