Mo 2 Ga 2 C is a novel member of MAX phases, which is a family of ternary carbide/nitride with layered structure. The stability and wettability of Mo 2 Ga 2 C in molten metals are crucial for the application of Mo 2 Ga 2 C in the field of composite materials. In this work, the stability and wettability of Mo 2 Ga 2 C in three molten metals (Pb, Sn and Zn) were investigated. Mo 2 Ga 2 C was mixed with metal powders and annealed at different temperatures under vacuum. At 700 °C, Mo 2 Ga 2 C was not stable in any of the three molten metals. The decomposition of Mo 2 Ga 2 C was affected by the type of metal matrix as well as the reaction temperature. Mo 2 Ga 2 C decomposed at 550 °C in Pb, at 450 °C in Sn, or at 650 °C–750 °C in Zn. To characterized the wettability of these metals with Mo 2 Ga 2 C, the contact angle of molten metals with Mo 2 Ga 2 C at 650 °C were measured, which are 103° for Pb, 126° for Sn and 0° for Zn, respectively. Mo 2 Ga 2 C has good wettability with Zn and is not wetted by Pb and Sn.
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.
