To improve the anti-biofouling properties of membranes, Ag-embedded nano-sized titanium dioxide (Ag-n-TiO2) particles were utilized as biocidal agents to modify polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membranes. Both Ag-n-TiO2/PVC flat sheet membranes and reinforced hollow fiber membranes were fabricated by a phase inversion method with varying Ag-n-TiO2 particle concentrations. As a result, the hydrophilicity, permeability, and retention capability increased with Ag-n-TiO2 concentrations from 0 to 1.5 wt%. In addition, the in situ antibacterial and anti-formation of biofilm properties of the modified membranes were greatly enhanced in the conventional inhibition zone test, Escherichia coli (E. coli) absorption experiment, fluorescent staining experiment, as well as long-term continuous biofouling test. The best results were obtained for the PVC membrane modified by 1.0 wt% Ag-n-TiO2. The optimized membrane presented not only better permeability and in situ antibacterial properties in the E. coli adhesion test, but also an enhancement in resisting biofilm formation and a more steady permeation flux in long-term filtration than the unmodified membrane.

Background Phosphorus in wastewater is a major environmental concern. Very small phosphorus inputs in the environment can cause algal blooms that can deplete the dissolved oxygen and decrease the water quality, leading to eutrophication. Furthermore, some algal blooms produce toxins and bacterial growth that can cause human illness through exposure to contaminated water. Therefore, It is necessary to remove phosphorus before it is discharged to the environment. Methods adsorbent enhanced adsorptive ultrafiltration (UF) has recently emerged as an advanced ion recovery technology with membrane filtration function and adsorption function, and is very effective in removing cationic bisphosphate and anionic phosphate. Significant findings Herein, a novel defect-rich and covalently-crosslinked octanoic acid (OA)-UiO-66(Zr)-NH 2 /PVC adsorption ultrafiltration membrane are designed for removal of phosphate ions in water. The OA-UiO-66-NH 2 /PVC-33 membrane achieved the adsorption capacity (∼30 mgg −1 ) and higher removal efficiency (∼90%). The OA-UiO-66(Zr)-NH 2 /PVC ultrafiltration membrane exhibited a higher water flux of 266.9 L/(m 2 ·h·bar) compared to those of pristine PVC and UiO-66-NH 2 /PVC. Filtration and cyclic stability experiments reveal that OA-UiO-66(Zr)-NH 2 /PVC membrane can maintain a high retention capacity and exhibit excellent regeneration performance after 5 cycles.

Inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) have been employed in modification for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane intrinsic hydrophobicity. Carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC), a natural organic matter, was used to relieve the agglomeration of zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs in the membrane matrix. In this paper, ZnO-CMC NPs were successfully prepared via co-precipitation approach, blended with PVC membranes, and the effect of ZnO-CMC NPs for the membrane properties was studied. The SEM and EDX confirmed excellent dispersion of ZnO-CMC NPs on the membrane surface. The enhanced hydrophilicity, porosity and inter-connected finger-like strcture of modified membranes confirmed by water contact angle and SEM. In addition, pure water flux of PVC/ZnO-CMC composite membrane was 107.36 L m −2 h −1 (PVC/ZnO-CMC (0.25 wt%)), which was higher than that of neat PVC membrane (83.11 L m −2 h −1 ). Importantly, the modified membranes exhibits lower static BSA adsorbtion because of the improved hydrophilicity, and a higher flux recovery rate (>90%) after three sequential filtration cycles. The antibacterial behavior of PVC/ZnO-CMC membrane was tested simply using Escherichia coli , and the results indicated that all composite membranes possess excellent antibacterial properties. Our work presents PVC/ZnO-CMC NPs composite membrane a promising future in wastewater treatment and antibacterial application.

Two Bi 3 + selective electrodes based on L1 and L2 incorporated into a polyvinylchloride (PVC) membrane have been developed. The ionophores L1 and L2 are 2-(5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-ylthio)-N′-benzylidene acetohydrazone and 1-(2-(5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-ylthio) acetyl)-4-benzoylthiosemicarbazone, respectively. These electrodes are composed of dioctylphtalate (DOP) as a plasticizer and sodium tetraphenylborate (NaTPB) as the lipophilic additive. The best performance was obtained with the membrane compositions of L1 (0.30): PVC (33.22): DOP (66.36): NaTPB (0.12) (%, w/w) and L2 (1.00): PVC (33.00): DOP (65.91): NaTPB (0.09) (%, w/w). Two membrane electrodes show Nernstian response slopes towards Bi 3 + (20.2 and 19.7 mV/decade, respectively) over the concentration range of 10 − 7 –10 − 3 and 10 − 7 –10 − 2 M, respectively. The effects of the pH and the possible interfering cations were investigated. Both electrodes have a response time of about 10 s, and they can work in a certain concentration aqueous ethanol solution. The prepared electrodes were used as an indicator electrode in potentiometric titration of Bi 3 + ions with EDTA. The membrane sensors were also applied to the determination of Bi 3 + content in compound bismuth aluminate tablets.

Porous organic cages (POCs) have attracted extensive attention due to their unique structures and tremendous application potential in numerous areas. In this study, an enantioselective potentiometric sensor composed of a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane electrode modified with CC3-R POC material was used for the recognition of enantiomers of 2-amino-1-butanol. After optimisation, the developed sensor exhibited enantioselectivity towardS-2-amino-1-butanol (logKS,RPot= −0.98) with acceptable sensitivity, and a near-Nernstian response of 25.8 ± 0.3 mV/decade within a pH range of 6.0–9.0.Keywords:enantioselective potentiometric sensor;2-amino-1-butanol;chiral porous organic cage;CC3-R;PVC membrane electrode

In this work, poly(N-acryloylmorpholine)-grafted ZrO 2 nanoparticles (ZrO 2 -g-PACMO) were directly blended with poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) to prepare a hybrid membrane via the phase inversion method. In addition, the effects of ZrO 2 -g-PACMO and ZrO 2 nanoparticles on the structure and performance of resultant PVC membranes were comparatively investigated. The results indicated that the PVC/ZrO 2 -g-PACMO membrane exhibited a large macroviod of cross-section and a rough membrane surface. During membrane formation, the hydrophilic PACMO chains were preferably enriched onto the membrane surface, leading to the enhancement of surface hydrophilicity and the reduction of adhesion force between protein and membrane surface. The amount of adsorbed bovine serum albumin (BSA) on the poly(vinylidene fluoride)/ZrO 2 -g-PACMO decreases about 73% and 48% respectively, compared with original PVC and PVC/ZrO 2 membranes. Cycle filtration of pure water and BSA solution (0.5 g/L) confirmed that the total and irreversible membrane fouling were remarkably suppressed after incorporating ZrO 2 -g-PACMO into PVC membrane. Although the original ZrO 2 nanoparticle was also found to improve the protein fouling resistance of PVC membrane, there was a fatal limitation that the original ZrO 2 exhibited an agglomeration tendency during the membrane formation. The outcomes of the present work demonstrate that the synthesized ZrO 2 -g-PACMO nanoparticles have the potential for the design and preparation of anti-fouling PVC membrane.

A cesium potentiometric microsensor based on magnetic ion-imprinted polymer (MIIP) has been developed for Cs(I) sensing. The core-shell structure Cs(I)-MIIP was synthesized by surface-imprinting technique, using functionalized magnetic Fe3O4@SiO2 microspheres, Cs(I) ion and carboxymethyl chitosan as supporter, template and functional monomers respectively. The resultant Cs(I)-MIIP was used as ionophore in the construction of the PVC membrane electrode to obtain a selective potentiometric microsensor toward Cs(I) ions. The fabricated sensor exhibited a highly sensitive Nernstian response (60.2 mV/decade) over the concentration range of 1 × 10−6 to 1 × 10−1 M of Cs(I). The response time of the microsensor was considerably short (less than 3 s) and its detection limit was determined as 3.0 × 10−7 M. The microsensor was effectively performed in the pH range of 4–6, and revealed desirable selectivity over a wide variety of other cations including alkali, alkaline earth and heavy metals. The proposed microsensor was also used for the determination of Cs(I) contents in the environmental water samples. The potentiometric results were in good harmony with the results obtained by the ICP-MS method.
