Impact of graphene/graphene oxide on the mechanical properties of cellulose acetate membrane and promising natural seawater desalination
JOURNAL OF POLYMER ENGINEERING(2019)
摘要
New formulations of cellulose acetate (CA) membrane with graphene (G)/graphene oxide (GO) are suggested and investigated in the present work. This study is intended to find a wide range of conditions for fabricating CA membranes in the presence of some additions of graphene (G), and graphene oxide (GO). The membrane is prepared by phase inversion process. Microscopic investigations for graphene (G), graphene oxide (GO), and prepared membrane were performed by high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The mechanical properties of prepared membranes are determined and evaluated. Permeation tests were performed using natural seawater and simulated seawater to check the prepared membrane performance. The results presented that the permeate flux of M-25%CA membranes containing 0.01 wt.% G is the highest flux (57-74 l/m(2) h) compared with the neat CA membrane, and the 0.01 wt.% GO-based membranes, while the GO-based membranes were comparable as the neat CA membrane at operating pressures (30-35 bar) and with a feed of 35 g/l NaCl solution. The results showed a remarkable salt rejection of simulated seawater of 95%, and natural seawater with a feed from the Mediterranean Sea displayed 90% salt rejection and accepted pure water flux as well.
