Developing new adsorptive membrane by modification of support layer with iron oxide microspheres for arsenic removal.
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science 2018 March 16
Arsenic-contaminated water has significant adverse impacts on human health and ecosystems. We developed a new adsorptive membrane by modifying the porous support layer of a phase inversion formed membrane for arsenic removal. Iron oxide (Fe3 O4 ) microspheres were immobilized in the support layer of the membrane by reverse filtration, followed by dopamine polymerization. The prepared adsorptive membrane was compared with a virgin membrane without Fe3 O4 microspheres and a Fe3 O4 blended membrane in terms of membrane structures and separation performance. The adsorptive membrane prepared by our new method had comparable water permeability and rejection performance with the virgin membrane without Fe3 O4 microspheres, but higher rejection performance and dynamic adsorption capacity than the membrane prepared by the conventional blending method. Both static and dynamic adsorption modes were used to evaluate the adsorption performance of the membranes. Our new adsorptive membrane also had excellent regeneration performance. After three regeneration cycles, the membrane was still capable of treating more than 2 tons of As-contaminated water/m2 . The adsorptive membrane of 1 m2 could treat over 7 tons of water to the drinking water standard in terms of arsenic concentration during three regeneration cycles. Therefore, our adsorptive membrane may pave a new way for arsenic removal from water and ensuring drinking water security.
