A new method of purification of produced water is reviewed. Recently membrane oscillation for separating solid particles and liquids drops has attracted researchers globally. Metallic slotted pore membranes were used in the experiments. Membrane oscillation generates a shear rate that drives particles, oil drops away from the membrane surface and, hence, fouling is reduced. It is shown that reduction of the fouling is directly related to the intensity of the membrane oscillation. It is shown that membrane oscillation results in decreasing pore blocking and it was found that pore blocking was also reduced with increase of the membrane oscillation frequency. The latter conclusion was confirmed both experimentally and theoretically. The applied shear rate has a strong influence on the larger particles as compared to the smaller ones and therefore, cut-off of separating particles increases with the membrane oscillation. The method was suggested to predict concentration of particles in the permeate. The experiments reviewed were mainly on separation of drops of both vegetable oil and crude oil from aqueous produced water.

Amjad Ali, Tariq Aziz, Jieyuan Zheng, Fan Hong, Mahamed F. Awad, Sehrish Manan, Fazal Haq, Asmat Ullah, Muhammad Naeem Shah, Qaiser Javed, Ameer Ali Kubar, Li Guo

Summary: Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have unparalleled advantages in the preparation of nanocomposites, but their lack of compatibility with hydrophobic polymers poses a major challenge. In this study, CNCs were synthesized from cotton and modified with 2-carboxyethyl acrylate to improve their mechanical, adhesive, contact angle, and thermal properties. The modified CNCs showed enhanced modulus of elasticity, reduced energy coefficient, and thermal expansion, as well as high shear stress, toughness, degradation efficiency, thermal stability, and recyclability. The findings suggest that the modification of CNCs with 2-carboxyethyl acrylate in the presence of epoxy resin can expand their applications in various sectors.

Summary: Bio-based polymers have emerged as a promising alternative to petroleum-based polymers in various industries. Although they have desirable properties such as biodegradability and non-toxicity, their performance still falls short of end-use requirements. Incorporating nanosized reinforcement can greatly improve the properties and commercial potential of bio-polymers. Bio-based polymers can serve as a substitute for petroleum-based fibers, and the application of smart nanoparticles is size-dependent.

Selective separation of nitrate from chloride using PVDF-based anion-exchange membranes

Daniele Chinello, Jan Post, Louis C. P. M. de Smet

Summary: In this study, PVDF-based anion-exchange membranes were designed to selectively separate nitrate from chloride. Experimental data showed that increasing the concentration of PVDF enhanced nitrate transport but also increased the membrane electrical resistance. The selectivity of nitrate was found to be independent of the membrane thickness and mainly driven by the increased affinity between the anion and the membrane.

Dao Thi Thanh Huyen, Saikat Sinha Ray, Young -Nam Kwon

Summary: This study focuses on the modification of a commercially available polyamide thin-film composite membrane with a zwitterionic material to enhance its fouling resistance. The modified membrane shows improved salt rejection and reduced permeability compared to the pristine membrane. Fouling tests demonstrate that the modified membrane has a lower fouling ratio and higher recovery ratio. The enhanced antifouling characteristics are attributed to the improved hydrophilicity resulting from the zwitterionic brushes and the salting-in effect.
