Molecularly imprinted membranes have superior selective separation capacity, rebinding capacity, and flux due to their microporous substrates and tightly packed molecularly imprinted polymers . In current study, artemisinin (Ars), the most effective antimalarial drug , is used as template molecule. The permeation-selectivity wooden membranes based on Ars-imprinted nanocages designed by metal organic framework@carbon nitride self-assembly process (MDWMs) has been successfully prepared: (i) based on three-dimensional mesoporous basswood membranes, dopamine-based auto-polymerization process was developed on basswood to for harvest the first layer imprinting and secondary reaction platform. (ii) The two-dimensional sheet carbon nitride modified by metal-organic framework is stably loaded on the surface of the polydopamine-modified basswood membrane, providing a rich irregular point array structure for the formation of recognition sites. Based on elaborate designs and optimizations, selectivity , rebinding capabilities, and flux are enhanced on the developed MDWMs ( β Are/Ars = 6.49, β Aru/Ars = 4.22, β DH-Ars/Ars = 7.42), and high regeneration rate (>94% after 10 cycles) indicates that MDWMs have superior selectivity and stability. The MDWMs and preparation strategies developed here will provide a completely new design methodology for subsequent selective separation of Ars.
Membrane-based separations can improve energy efficiency and reduce the environmental impact associated with conventional methods. However, conventional adsorbents encapsulate most of their functional sites in their dense structures, leading to issues of low selectivity and adsorption capacity. To overcome the above problems, the scalable basswood-based PDA/GO-embedded self-assembly membranes were prepared based a multilayer artemisinin (Ars)-imprinted nanocage (MA/SB-P/G-ESMs) for highly selective adsorption and transport to Ars. The double-layer imprinting strategy of graphene oxide based on polydopamine and κ-carrageenan using three-dimensional mesoporous basswood as the support membrane improved the effective imprinting platform. The final MA/SB-P/G-ESMs were prepared by a heat-initiated radical polymerization, acrylamide was used as a functional monomer to conveniently and efficiently form specific recognition sites on the membrane. Notably, the outcomes demonstrated that, despite interference with other rivals, MA/SB-P/G-ESMs displayed perfect rebinding selectivity ( λ = 2.67, 2.89, 2.35) and perm-selectivity ( β = 8.16, 5.43, 6.51) for Ars. The high regeneration rate (after 10 cycles, greater than93%) demonstrated the MA/SB-P/G-ESMs' practical application potential. The selective separation of Ars using the MA/SB-P/G-ESM preparation method showed substantial promise in this work.
