Heavy metals pollution is an urgent problem that seriously hazards human health and ecosystems. Herein, dually charged nanofiltration (NF) membranes were prepared via a facile modification with diethylenetriamine (DETA) after interfacial polymerization. More amine groups were imported after grafting and a polyamide layer with opposite charges was constructed. The as-prepared membranes had a pure water permeability of 17.0 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 and maintained ideal rejection for both Na 2 SO 4 (98.2%) and MgCl 2 (94.1%), illustrating dually charged property. In addition, the dually charged NF membranes had high rejection to a series of heavy metals, showing good application potential in heavy metals removal .

With the development of modern industry, water pollution has become an urgent environmental issue, so it is very urgent to find one-step strategy to treat with complicated wastewater. In this paper, poly (vinyl imidazole - co - methacrylic acid) cryogels were prepared with freezing polymerization for the treatment of complicated wastewater containing not only cationic dyes and anionic dyes but also common organic solvents. For the preparation of cyrogels, with the increase of the molar ratio of methacrylic acid to vinyl imidazole, the adsorption capacity of dyes varied as 271.33–187.09 mg·g −1 for methyl blue, 342.96–150.16 mg·g −1 for methyl orange, 7.76–85.72 mg·g −1 for methylene blue, and 19.19–110.10 mg·g −1 for crystal violet. Thus, by adjusting the molar ratio of monomers, a variety of versatile cryogels could be designed to treat with dye solutions of different type and concentration. Adsorption mechanism was then investigated through kinetics and isotherm, which showed single-layer chemical adsorption. Moreover, the surface hydrophilicity of porous cryogels made it possible for the separation of oil-water mixtures with over 95 % separation efficiency by selective water permeation. This study provides a quite new approach to prepare cryogels with both positive and negative charges.

To apply membrane separation technology to the treatment of low-concentration heavy metal ion wastewater, it is essential to fabricate a nanofiltration (NF) membrane with high flux and excellent rejection. In this work, organics (polyethyleneimine, gallic acid, trimesic acid, and polyacrylic acid) with different charges were successively introduced onto the outer surface of hollow-fiber NF membranes via chemical modification. That regulated the membrane surface charge under the premise of maintaining a loose separation layer. A negative-positive dual-charged membrane with a large mean effective pore size and long charged channels was successfully constructed. The evolution regularity of the microstructure of the separation layer was explored. The relation between a microstructure for a negative-positive dual-charged layer and low-concentration CuSO 4 removal was interpreted. An effective removal (94.2%) was achieved while maintaining a high permeability (29.6 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 ). Also, the as-prepared membrane showed good acid resistance and an excellent anti-fouling property and regeneration ability after cleaning by sulfuric acid. The flux recovery ratio and rejection recovery ratio were as high as 96.9% and 99.2% respectively. This work provides a reference for fabricating high performance hollow-fiber NF membranes to effectively remove heavy metal ions with low-concentration.

Herein, a series of doubly charged anion-exchange membranes (AEMs) were fabricated by incorporating a different amount of N-butyl substituted 1,4-diazabicyclo [2.2.2] octane (BDABCO) into brominated poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (BPPO) via Menshutkin-reaction. The successful preparation of AEMs was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. These AEMs were characterized physicochemically in detail. These AEMs showed higher thermal, mechanical and chemical stability. The AEM with higher concentration of BDABCO exhibited hydroxide (OH−) conductivity of 50.9 mS/cm and 84 mS/cm at 30°C and 80°C, respectively. This demonstrated the as-prepared AEMs would be potential candidates for anion-exchange membrane fuel cells.

Facilitating the efficient separation of charge carriers is vitally crucial to achieving highly effective photocatalytic intermediate water splitting without any sacrificial reagents in pure water. Herein, the directional modulation separation of charge carrier strategy is proposed for Zn0.5Cd0.5S based on MOF-derived Co@NC and Co–Pi serving as dual charge transfer materials. The Co@NC acts as the electron transporting material to capture electrons and Co–Pi serves as the hole transporting material to extract holes, achieving the efficient separation of charge carriers and dramatically enhancing the photocatalytic performance. Moreover, the improved specific surface area can also provide more abundant active sites. The optimized Co@NC/Zn0.5Cd0.5S/Co–Pi sample achieved yields of H2 and H2O2 of up to 613.8 and 592.7 μmol h−1 g−1 in pure water, which are 13.2 and 14.4 times higher than that of pristine Zn0.5Cd0.5S, accompanied by a notable apparent quantum efficiency of 2.73% at 420 nm and the longest photocatalytic stability for 90 h. This work illustrates the importance of charge carrier separation to the photocatalytic performance and paves the way for designing highly efficient photocatalytic systems without sacrificial reagents.

Nanofiltration membranes (NFMs) with superior permeability and high rejection of both divalent anions and cations are highly desirable to meet the increasing separation demands of complex systems. Herein, we propose a three-in-one strategy to develop a state-of-the-art dually charged thin-film composite (TFC) nanofiltration membrane consisting of a positively charged electrospun nanofiber substrate (NFS) with surface mineralization and a negatively charged polyamide (PA) selective layer prepared by interfacial polymerization (IP). The highly hydrophilic mineralized nanofiber substrate not only effectively reduces the thickness of the PA selective layer but also crumples its structures by the abundant zirconia nanoparticles on the substrate surface, resulting in excellent water flux (15.0 L m–2 h–1 bar–1) for the TFC NFMs. The relationship between the thickness of the selective layer and substrate is further investigated using dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations. Meanwhile, the dually charged NFM exhibits relatively high rejection for both anions (97.1% for Na2SO4 and 97.9% for MgSO4) and cations (87.9% for MgCl2) in aqueous solutions compared with single-charged membranes, which is attributed to the dual-repulsion effect of the selective layer and the substrate surface bearing opposite charges. Moreover, the prepared NFMs exhibit good stability and excellent antifouling performance. This work may pave the way for the development of highly efficient nanofiltration membranes for the practical separation of comprehensively charged solutes.

Removal of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) is of great importance in wastewater reclamation due to their potent negative impacts on human health. Typical polyamide nanofiltration (NF) membranes are negatively charged, which compromises their rejection rate of positively charged PhACs. Herein, we propose to rationally design a novel thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) NF membrane featuring a dually charged metal organic framework (MOF) to effectively remove both positively and negatively charged PhACs. Ethylenediamine (ED) was grafted to the coordinately unsaturated metal sites inside the MIL-101(Cr). The resulting ED-MIL-101(Cr) contained both strong positively charged amine groups inside its channels and negatively charged carboxyl groups at its surface. This dually charged nature of the MOF nanoparticles enabled the ED-MIL-101(Cr)-containing TFN membrane to achieve high rejection rates (mostly >90%) for both positively (terbutaline, atenolol, fluoxetine) and negatively charged PhACs (ketoprofen, diclofenac, bezafibrate). At the same time, the ED-MIL-101(Cr) TFN membrane had greatly improved water permeance (140% over the control membrane with MOF loading). Calculations based on density functional theory further confirmed the large energy barrier for the migration of both negatively and positively charged PhACs across the nanochannels of ED-MIL-101(Cr). This study highlights a promising potential of dually charged MOF-TFN membranes for efficient removal of trace organic contaminants in wastewater reclamation.

N-(2-hydroxyl) propyl-3-trimethyl ammonium chitosan chloride (HTCC) was synthesized from chitosan (CS). Organic rectorite (OREC) added into cellulose acetate (CA) was used to fabricate electrospun nanofibrous mats with improved thermal properties, as a result of depositing multilayers of the positively charged HTCC-OREC composites and the negatively charged sodium alginate (ALG) via layer-by-layer (LBL) technique. The morphology was affected by the number of deposition bilayers and the component of the outmost layer. Observed from the field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) images, the LBL structured nanofibrous mats had much larger fiber sizes than CA-OREC nanofibrous mats. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) results further confirmed that HTCC-OREC was assembled on nanofibrous mats. Additionally, cell experiments and MTT results demonstrated that OREC had little effect on the cytotoxicity of LBL template, but obviously affected both the cytotoxicity and the cell compatibility of LBL structured mats when OREC was in the deposition films.

Mutual chiral recognition of four stereoisomers of tadalafil and three pairs of enantiomers of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) including pantoprazole, lansoprazole, and omeprazole, as well as quantitative analysis of enantiomeric excess is achieved on the basis of the competitive fragmentation of doubly charged trimeric NiII cluster ions. Compared with a singly charged trimeric cluster ion, a doubly charged trimeric cluster ion was proved efficient in the recognition of chiral drugs with one or multiple chiral centers, due to its rich fragmentation ions. Upon collision-induced dissociation (CID), the cluster ion [NiII(PPIs)(tadalafil)2]2+ yielded two diagnostic ions [tadalafil + H]+ and [tadalafil − benzo[d][1,3]dixoloe]+ through electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The abundance ratio of the two fragment ions relied mainly on the configuration of PPIs and tadalafil, and therefore the chiral selectivity (Rchiral) of one enantiomer relative to the others is different. The chiral recognition of all four stereoisomers of tadalafil was achieved by using S configuration PPIs as references, and S-omeprazole showed the best selectivity. The Rchiral values for R,R/S,S, R,S/S,R, R,R/R,S and R,R/S,R-tadalafils were 1.47, 1.17, 2.37, and 2.10, respectively. In a reciprocal process, the Rchiral was 1.36 and 1.31 for R/S-pantoprazole and R/S-lansoprazole, respectively, by using R,R-tadalafil as a reference. Although omeprazole is a racemic drug, it can also be discriminated with S-omeprazole. Calibration curves were constructed with favorable correlation coefficients (r2 > 0.991) by relating the ln(Rchiral) values to the isomeric composition in a mixture. The sensitivity of the methodology allows mixtures to be analyzed for the enantiomeric excess (ee) by recording the ratios of fragment ion abundances in a mass spectrum. The sensitivity of the methodology allowed the determination of enantiomeric impurities of 5% molar composition in individual compounds present in mixtures; the diastereoisomeric impurity of R,R-tadalafil could be quantified even at 1%. We believe that the developed method not only has scientific significance in qualitative and quantitative chiral analyses of tadalafil and PPIs, but also provides great opportunity for enabling the discrimination on a wide range of chiral drugs.

A dual-charged composite membrane was engineered for efficient separation of both cationic and anionic molecules. Alternately charged functional layer with sandwich structure was assembled onto porous membrane via chemical-mediated polyphenol surface engineering. The surface morphology , element variation and surface charge properties of the functional layer were respectively analysed using SEM, FTIR and streaming zeta potential measurements. The as-prepared “sandwich”-type composite membrane showed preferable rejection to multiple charged dyes (99.6% Alcian blue, 99.3% Brilliant blue, 92.21% Methyl blue, 89.91% Rhodanile blue). Both Donnan repulsion by dual-charged functional layer and entrapment effect by micro electric fields contributed to the outstanding separation performance. Compared with generally needed high pressure of 4–8 bar for the current nanofiltration separation, the developed composite membrane achieved desirable rejection under a low operating pressure of 1.5 bar, as well as favorable recycling performance for long-term use. This study provides an energy-efficient membrane candidate for comprehensive separation of charged molecules in practical applications such as dye wastewater treatment .

Traditional polyamide nanofiltration membranes suffer from permeability-selectivity trade-off limitation and unsatisfactory rejection for divalent cations. Herein, a novel dually charged membrane was constructed by incorporating positively charged UiO-66-(NH 2 ) 2 into the negatively charged polyamide layer. Thanks to the customizable nanochannels of metal-organic frameworks, the amino-rich nanochannels of UiO-66-(NH 2 ) 2 could be fabricated through a ligand replacement strategy. UiO-66-(NH 2 ) 2 played a crucial role in the enhanced rejection of divalent cations, meanwhile negatively charged polyamide surface guaranteed the efficient Na 2 SO 4 rejection. Satisfactory rejections of CaCl 2 (96.07 %) and Na 2 SO 4 (90.62 %) were achieved simultaneously by optimal TFN-D5. Meanwhile, TFN-D5 owned the greatly-improved water permeance of 19.44 LMH/bar, which was about 1.5 times better than that of the TFC-control. Calculations based on density functional theory further confirmed UiO-66-(NH 2 ) 2 rejected Ca 2+ efficiently since the migration energy barrier across UiO-66-(NH 2 ) 2 was an order of magnitude higher than that of UiO-66-NH 2 and UiO-66. Moreover, the desirable rejections were beyond 94 % towards many divalent cation salts including MgCl 2 , NiCl 2 , PbCl 2 , MnCl 2 , CdCl 2 and ZnCl 2 . Thus, this work provided an efficient way to realize the synergistic removal of both divalent cations and anions.

The nanofiltration (NF) membrane with better hydrophilicity, uniform pore size distribution, and dually charged properties is highly desirable to improve the pharmaceutical rejection, especially for the neutral and positively charged pharmaceuticals. Herein, a TpPa membrane was first in-situ crystallized via p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA)-mediated interfacial catalytic polymerization (ICP) strategy using 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp) and p-phenylenediamine (Pa), followed by the post-functionalization with polyethylene-imine (PEI) to narrow the pore size, improve hydrophilicity, and tailor membrane charges to enhance pharmaceutical rejection. PTSA was used as a catalyst to enhance the crystallinity of the TpPa membrane. The PEI introduction narrowed the pore radius from 0.382 ± 0.50 nm to 0.272 ± 0.33 nm, improved surface hydrophilicity from 74.8° to 37.0°, and shifted surface charge from −19.25 mV to 11.15 mV. This PEI-functionalized TpPa (TpPa-PEI) layers exhibited heterogeneous charges on both sides with a positively charged top and negatively charged bottom. MgCl 2 rejection increased from 13.7 % to 83.0 % without sacrificing water permeance. Additionally, pharmaceutical rejection and the water permeance of the optimal TpPa-PEI membrane exceeded those of the TpPa IP -PEI membrane fabricated without PTSA by about 3.3 and 1.3 times, respectively. Furthermore, compared to the pristine TpPa membranes, the substantially enhanced electropositivity of the optimal TpPa-PEI membrane led to 3–5 times increase in positively charged pharmaceutical rejection (94.1 % for propranolol, 97.2 % for sulpiride, and 71.2 % for metformin). The synergy between the negatively charged TpPa-PEI bottom layers and the reduced pore size maintained a sulfadiazine rejection of 62.1 %. Mechanistic study further revealed that PEI penetrated 100 nm into the TpPa layer and cross-linked with the aldehyde groups, leading to tailored chargeability, improved hydrophilicity, and reduced pore size of the membranes. Via a PEI cross-linking strategy, sub-nanometer channels of crystalline COF layers can be rationally designed, featuring precisely tailored chargeability and hydrophilicity, promising functionalization of the membrane pores and remarkably robust for water reuse.
