Polyelectrolyte-enhanced ultrafiltration was investigated for rhenium(VII) recovery from aqueous solutions by using polyquaternium-6 (PQ6) as a complexing agent. The effects of the operating parameters on the permeate flux ( J ) and the rhenium rejection coefficient ( R ) were studied. In the process of concentration, J declines slowly and R is about 1. The concentrated solution was used for the decomplexation. It takes 10 min to achieve the decomplexation equilibrium at a chloride ion concentration of 100 mg L –1 . The decomplexation percentage reaches 45.6 %. In the diafiltration process, rhenium is extracted effectively, and the purification of the regenerated PQ6 is satisfactory. The regenerated PQ6 was used to bind rhenium(VII). The binding capacity of the regenerated PQ6 is close to that of fresh PQ6.

The composite after referred to as P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) was prepared via free radical polymerization by polymer including quaternary ammonium salt and epoxy group which grafted onto the surface of Ce-ZnO. ZnO nanorods, Ce-ZnO nanorods, P(DMDAAC-AGE), P(DMDAAC-AGE)/ZnO composites, P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) composites and commercial antimicrobials were respectively treated on the cotton fabrics and their biological properties were investigated. There is a synergistic effect between Ce-ZnO and N + from the polymer in the fabric treated with P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) composite so that it had a better antibacterial activity than pure polymer and pure Ce-ZnO. The antimicrobial rate of fabric treated with P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) composite could reach up to 96%. And in order to investigate the durable ability, the fabric was washed multiple times to simulate the daily use washing. The result showed that the fabric still gave a superior antibacterial performance after 11 cycles (the equivalent of 55 times house laundering). Simultaneously, the differences in the amount of P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) composite deposited on the fibers after washing were also investigated.
