There is an urgent need for an antifouling membrane to treat the large volume of dye-containing wastewater generated annually by the dyeing and printing industry. PDA@ZnO/PVDF membranes were synthesized by doping polydopamine (PDA) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles into the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes via non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) method in which polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and lithium chloride (LiCl) were chosen as the porogens respectively. Their microstructures were characterized, and the membranes were examined for antifouling properties and membrane separation performance. The presence of PDA@ZnO nanoparticles on the PVDF membrane was evidenced by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements. The addition of PDA@ZnO enhanced the mechanical strength and hydrophilicity of the nanocomposite membranes. The PVDF membranes' water permeability and antifouling properties improved following mixing modification, according to the dye filtration test. The pure water flux of PDA@ZnO/PVDF hybrid membranes changed from 260.0 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 to 1339.2 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 by varying the concentration of PDA@ZnO nanoparticles from 0 wt% to 1.6 wt%. The retention performance of the modified membranes was shown to be significantly superior to the pure PVDF membrane. The modified membranes with the addition of 2.0 wt% PVP and 1.6 wt% PDA@ZnO nanoparticles had highly disperse blue 79 (DB 79) retentions (88.5%), indicating that the modified membrane possessed the characteristics of a promising membrane for the purification of dye. Tests found that PDA@ZnO significantly improved the membrane's antifouling performance.

Traditional separation materials based on Ti 3 C 2 T x modification are susceptible to contamination by oily substances and have single performance, which limits their applications in treatment of actual oily wastewater. Here, to improve the hydrophilicity and stability of Ti 3 C 2 T x , EHL-functionalized Ti 3 C 2 T x (EHL-Ti 3 C 2 T x ) was prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis lignin (EHL) forming secondary bonds with the terminal oxygen-containing groups on the surface of Ti 3 C 2 T x . EHL-Ti 3 C 2 T x was further coated on polyurethane (PU) sponge to construct rough structures, enabling the modified EHL-Ti 3 C 2 T x @PU sponge superhydrophilic/underwater superoleophobic wettability to achieve separation efficiency above 99.5% for different oil/water mixtures. Especially, the maximum permeation flux of EHL-Ti 3 C 2 T x @PU for cyclohexane/water mixture separation is up to 231,321 L m −2 h −1 . In addition, the functionalized interface constructed by EHL- Ti 3 C 2 T x on mixed cellulose ester (MCE) membrane exhibits high permeability to malachite green and methylene blue cationic dyes with rejection rates of 99.1% and 98.1%, respectively. Therefore, two separation materials obtained by decorating EHL-Ti 3 C 2 T x on PU and MCE substrates have extremely potential in treating complex wastewater.

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes represent a potential technology for the in-depth treatment of organic dye-containing wastewater. Nevertheless, the intractable membrane fouling and the limited versatility have significantly constrained its applications. Herein, through the nonsolvent-induced phase inversion method, we have successfully fabricated the PDA@MgO/PVDF and PDA@ZnO/PVDF membranes, which are modified by the synergistic action of MgO or ZnO nanoparticles with polydopamine (PDA), respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), as well as the analyses of pore structure, contact angle, and surface free energy, were utilized to characterize the hybrid membranes. The results demonstrate that the modification of PDA@MgO and PDA@ZnO can enhance the hydrophilicity, pure flux, dye rejection, and pollution resistance of PVDF membranes. The enhanced hydrophilicity of the modified membranes results from the increase in surface free energy and its polar component term. Comparatively, the PDA@ZnO/PVDF membrane exhibits a smaller contact angle (69°) and a higher pure water flux (378.63 L/m2·h·bar), whereas the PDA@MgO/PVDF membrane possesses greater mechanical strength and better antifouling performance. The PDA@MgO/PVDF membrane can achieve a rejection rate of 94.6% for disperse deep blue 79, and the flux recovery rate can reach approximately 82%. This research offers novel insights into the application of PVDF membranes for the treatment of organic dye-containing wastewater.

The potential of blended loose nanofiltration membranes (LNMs) to fractionate dyes and inorganic salts in textile wastewater has become a focus of attention in recent years. In this research work, we fabricated LNMs based on polysulfone (PSf) membranes blended with l-histidine amino acid-functionalized Mo2Ga2C MAX phase (His-MAX). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), contact angle, ζ-potential, porosity, and pore size analyses were employed to characterize the LNMs. Blending 0.75 wt % of His-MAX additive with the PSf tailored the LNM’s features by making it more water-friendly, increasing its porosity, enlarging its pores, and making its surface smoother. The pure water flux of 127.6 L/m2 h was achieved by LNM containing 0.75 wt % His-MAX, which was 2.5 times greater than the bare one. The mentioned LNM displayed a flux recovery ratio (FRR) of 68.27 and 98.57, 98.31, and 99.7% rejections for Direct red 23, Acid brown 75, and Reactive blue 21 solutions (100 mg/L), respectively. The 0.75 wt % His-MAX LNM could reject 99.1% of dye and 11.5% of salt while maintaining an FRR of 91.19% after four cycles of filtering a binary mixture solution containing Reactive blue 21 and Na2SO4. These findings highlight the potential of the fabricated LNM for desalinating dye solutions.

Selective recovery of recyclables is a major challenge when treating textile wastewater. For this reason, there is an urgent need to develop nanofiltration membranes with high permeability and selective filtration. In response, a novel composite PVDF loose nanofiltration membrane was developed by combining two different mixed amines system/dopamine (DA) followed by interfacial polymerization with benzoyl chloride (TMC). The two different amines systems were a mixture of GAZ and PEI and a mixture of PIP and PEI, respectively. The effects of GAZ/PEI and PIP/PEI on the microstructure was characterized by SEM, AFM, FTIR and XPS and performance of the membrane was also investigated. The effects of GAZ/PEI and PIP/PEI on the microstructure and the selective layer of membranes were different. The results stated that with the increase of GAZ/PEI the thickness of the selective layer, surface roughness decreased, while the fluxes of pure water and dye wastewater increased. However, with increasing PIP/PEI, surface nodules and roughness both increased. Contrarily, the thickness of the selective layer and PEG800 rejection first decreased and then increased, while the flux of pure water and the dye wastewater first increased and then decreased. The optimal GAZ/PEI and PIP/PEI were 9/91 and 50/50, respectively. When the GAZ/PEI was 9/91, the pure water flux and the RB5 wastewater flux were 20.7 L∙(m 2 ∙h) −1 and 11.5 L∙(m 2 ∙h) −1 . The dye (RB5) retention rate was 94.3% and salt retention rate was 2.1%. However, when the PIP/PEI was 50/50, the pure water flux and RB5 wastewater flux were 26.6 L∙(m 2 ∙h) −1 and 17.1 L∙(m 2 ∙h) −1 increased by 87.3% and 134.2% respectively. The retention rates of RB5 and NaCl were 96.3% and 1.7%. The above results indicate that the composite PVDF LNF membranes prepared with mixed amine monomers instead of single amine monomers have good selective filtration performance.

Due to the severe harmful impacts of industrial dyeing wastewater on ecosystems and human health, proper treatment is crucial. Herein, the use of modified graphite as an adsorbent for dyeing wastewater treatment was investigated in this study. The graphite was oxidized and intercalated using a phosphoric acid–nitric acid–potassium permanganate system and then thermally treated at high temperatures to optimize its structure. By adjusting the thermal treatment temperature, the graphite adsorbent with varying porosity was obtained. The optimized graphite demonstrated significant improvement in adsorption performance for dyes and organic compounds, achieving a removal rate of over 85% for methylene blue (MB) dye. The optimal adsorption performance is achieved with a 1.6 mg modified graphite adsorbent at 60 °C under alkaline conditions for adsorbing 10 ppm MB. Adsorption kinetics and isotherm models were applied to elucidate the adsorption mechanisms. The results fit the Langmuir model, suggesting that monolayer homogeneous adsorption is favorable. Importantly, the results demonstrate that high-temperature treatment can significantly enhance the adsorption properties of coal-based graphite, supporting its application in dyeing wastewater treatment.

Membrane distillation (MD) has been widely used for resource recovery from high-salinity wastewater, due to its superior technical merits of high separation efficiency and potential integration of low-grade heat. Herein, a robust superhydrophobic PVDF membrane prepared by spray-coating of fluorinated silica nanoparticles was employed to treat highly saline dye wastewater by MD. Specifically, impacts of operation conditions, including temperature difference, feed flow-rate, salinity, dye concentration, and dye species, on MD performance of the fabricated superhydrophobic PVDF membrane were comprehensively investigated. The increase of temperature difference and feed flow-rate had a positive effect on the MD flux of the membrane. Conversely, the rise in salinity and dye concentration induced an adverse impact on the MD flux. Furthermore, the superhydrophobic PVDF membrane showed a strong robustness in treating complex streams, as demonstrated by consistently stable MD flux using various dye/NaCl mixed solutions. Due to the robust surface superhydrophobicity, the fabricated PVDF membrane exhibited impressive antiwetting and antifouling properties against highly saline dye wastewater, consistently stable permeation flux, and high dye/salt removal efficiency (>99.99%). Moreover, the superhydrophobic membrane showed a high water recovery (90%) from highly saline dye wastewater with a slight reduction (13.4%) in permeation flux during a 39 h MD filtration. These results signify the promising practicability of the fabricated superhydrophobic PVDF membrane in sustainable management of highly saline dye wastewater via MD.

The preparation of modified membranes utilizing the UiO-66 framework for wastewater filtration is regarded as one of the most promising approaches to wastewater treatment, owing to its high efficiency and cost-effectiveness. In this study, a post-modified MOF, UiO-66-RSA, was synthesized via the condensation reaction of UiO-66-NH 2 and 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde. PVDF mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were fabricated for the first time by mixing UiO-66-RSA into PVDF using the non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) method. Compared to pure PVDF membranes, the newly developed membrane, M4, demonstrated enhanced compatibility and superior mechanical strength. In dyeing wastewater treatment applications, M4 showed excellent separation efficiency for dye and heavy metal mixed wastewater, achieving rejection rates exceeding 90 %. Additionally, it maintained a high flux recovery rate (FRR > 90 %) and rejection rate (Rejection > 90 %) after six filtration cycles of dye-containing wastewater, indicating strong recyclability. These findings suggest that MMMs embedded with UiO-66-RSA hold significant promise for dyeing wastewater treatment.

Dye wastewater is characterized by high salinity, intense coloration, difficulty in degradation, and complex organic compositions, posing significant environmental risks. Manganese oxide (MnxOy)-based materials have been widely used for the removal of recalcitrant organic pollutants in water environments. In this study, various MnxOypolymorphs were prepared, and their catalytic activities for persulfate (PS) activation were evaluated using Orange II (AO7) as a model molecule. After 50 min treatment, the degradation efficiency of AO7 ranked asα-MnO2/PS >γ-MnO2/PS >β-MnO2/PS > Mn2O3/PS, withα-MnO2/PS achieving the highest efficiency of 98.6%. XPS, XRD, and electrochemical analyses indicated thatα-MnO2exhibited an exceptional crystal structure and performance. Theα-MnO2/PS system exhibited a strong pH adaptability across a wide pH range of 3.0–9.0. The presence of coexisting anions at 0.1 mM, including Cl−, NO3−, CO32−, and SO42−, slightly reduced the degradation rate of AO7. The reactive oxygen species, mainly SO4•−and1O2, predominantly destroyed the naphthalene ring structure of AO7. Furthermore,α-MnO2exhibited an excellent stability, allowing for multiple reuse cycles without interference from common anions in water, highlighting its strong potential for practical applications. These results provided insights into the environmental fates of AO7 in theα-MnO2/PS system.

In this study, polyacrylic acid modified filter paper (FP/PAA) was synthesized by in-situ polymerization of acrylic acid, which was used as a matrix to chelate nano-scale zero valent iron (nZVI). The loading content of nZVI in the filter paper reached 24.8%. The fabricated composite FP/PAA/nZVI was characterized by SEM, FT-IR and TGA respectively. Moreover, it was used for the removal of methyl blue and methylene blue as model anionic and cationic dyes. The effect of initial dye concentration on decolorization efficiency was investigated. The results showed that FP/PAA/nZVI enhanced the removal of dye from the simulated dye wastewater and the decolorization efficiency exceeded 95% for the dye solutions lower than 20 mg/L. More importantly, the filter paper supported nZVI realized the continuous treatment of simulated dye wastewater by a simple filtration process. This study hopes to serve as a basis for the application of nZVI in textile wastewater treatment.

The discharges from urban industries and domestic sewages have caused severe environmental pollution problems. Specifically, dyes are among the pollution sources that are relatively difficult to treat. In this study, Au/CB6-BOFs (BOFs namely closo -dodecaborate-based supramolecular organic frameworks) were successfully synthesized using a simple method. The sample was used as adsorbent and degradation agents on Congo red (CR) and methyl orange (MO). The adsorption effect of Au/CB6-BOFs on CR is excellent with the adsorption capacity reaching as high as 2178.36 mg g −1 . Experiments, including adsorption kinetics , isothermal adsorption, and adsorption thermodynamics, were conducted on Au/CB6-BOFs to verify its performance, which confirmed that the adsorption type is monolayer chemical adsorption and that the reaction proceeds spontaneously. Au/CB6-BOFs can lead to catalytic degradation of dye molecules in aqueous solution with the addition of sodium borohydride. The adsorption/degradation ability of Au/CB6-BOFs can be maintained for at least five times without significant attenuating. FT-IR spectroscope and XRD were used to investigate Au/CB6-BOFs changes before and after experiments, there has been no obvious change observed in the FT-IR and XRD results. The catalytic mechanism was also proposed based on the degradation performance. In previous reports, it is might impossible to see similar nanomaterials that combine dye adsorption and dye degradation . If our material does either of them alone, it has a good effect. Considering that Au/CB6-BOFs have two functions at the same time, the initial concentrations of dyes that we set are relatively high, which is beyond the relevant literature reports. Therefore, it has certain reference value and impelling function to shorten the subsequent industrial treatment process of dye wastewater. This study provides a simple method to design and synthesis adsorption/degradation agents, which may open a new path for dye wastewater treatment .

As the efficient catalysts are synthesized by a simple strategy, photocatalysis offers a sustainable route to solve the problem of environmentally sound treatment of industrial dye wastewater. Herein, Pt-doped TiO2with MIL-125 as the backbone has been fabricated using thermal synthesis. The photocatalytic efficiency of the synthesized catalyst samples was tested using Rhodamine B (RhB) as the contaminant model. The physicochemical properties of the solid specimens were characterized using XRD, SEM, TEM, BET and EDX techniques. The photocatalytic degradation experiments showed that the photocatalytic degradation of RhB by M-Pt-TiO2was 98.97% after 30 min of degradation. The radical capture experiments showed that superoxide radicals and conduction band electrons as reactive oxygen species played a major role in the degradation process. After four cycles, the photocatalytic activity of M-Pt-TiO2decreased from 98.4% to 94.9%, indicating that the photocatalyst sample had good photocatalytic stability.Keywords:metal-organic framework;Pt-TiO2;photocatalysis;dye wastewater;Rhodamine B
