纳滤膜对脂肪族及杂环有机物的截留特性

分别选用NF90、NF270和NF-型号的纳滤膜测定了20种脂肪族及杂环有机物的截留率®,并分析了纳滤膜截留效果的影响因素.结果表明,脂肪族及杂环有机物的R受到分子结构和膜特性的影响:对于同分异构体,分枝结构越多,R越高;环状有机物与分子量相近的直链有机物相比,R明显偏高;孔径越小的纳滤膜R越高.利用遗传算法(GA)结合偏最小二乘回归(PLS)和人工神经网络法(ANN)建立了脂肪族及杂环物质的R与其结构的定量关系模型,2种方法建立的模型相关系数可分别达到0.8809和0.9944,通过2种模型进一步分析了R的影响规律,并对几种物质的R进行了有效的预测.从预测结果来看,GA-ANN模型的预测精度要好于GA-PLS模型.     

AFP transport across the fetal membranes in the human

In this investigation the original observation of a correlation between the concentration of amniotic fluid albumin and maternal serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP), as a proof for amniotic fluid-derived AFP in the maternal compartment is confirmed at 15 and 16 weeks of gestation. In contrast to the earlier reported highly significant relation in this study the correlation is only weak, especially at 15 weeks. This might be in agreement with a more frequent absence of raised maternal serum AFP levels in cases of raised amniotic fluid AFP levels prior to 16 weeks of gestation. Transamniotic AFP transport contributes a minor part of the AFP present in the maternal compartment, as also indicated by the lack of correlation between AFP concentrations in amniotic fluid and maternal serum.     

Effect of synthesis parameters on single gas permeation through T-type zeolite membranes

In this research, nanoporous zeolite T membranes were synthesized at three levels of synthesis temperature: 100, 120 and 140 °C and synthesis time: 15, 30 and 50 h and characterized by gas permeation. Effects of synthesis parameters on CO₂ and CH₄ permeances and CO₂/CH₄ ideal separation factors were studied. All experiments were conducted at 1 bar feed pressure and 30 °C module temperature. Normally, it is anticipated that increasing synthesis temperature and synthesis time increase gas permeances and consequently decrease ideal separation factor. This prediction was not observed in the case of synthesis temperature increase from 100 to 120 °C as well as synthesis time increase from 15 to 30 h, due to the dual effect of increasing synthesis temperature and synthesis time on gas permeances and ideal separation factor. More zeolites are deposited and larger crystals are formed at higher synthesis temperatures and times. Forming the larger crystals accelerates the rate of zeolite layer integration, which is responsible for gas separation, in one hand and reduces the density of deposited zeolite layer on the support, due to the formation of more voids, on the other hand. In terms of maximizing the CO₂/CH₄ ideal separation factor, medium synthesis temperature and synthesis time (120 °C and 30 h) can be selected, however, maximum gas permeances are obtained at low levels of synthesis temperature and time (100 °C and 15 h). According to the ranges of gas permeances (10⁻¹¹ to 10⁻⁶ mol/m² s Pa) and CO₂/CH₄ ideal separation factors (1.4–70.3), it is concluded that the zeolite T membranes synthesized at optimum conditions can be employed for membrane separation of CO₂/CH₄ mixtures.     

中水回用中平板膜的污染机理分析

采用间歇式生物反应器，对模拟小区生活污水的人工配水进行了生物处理；然后，在操作压力为0．1MPa，搅拌速度为300r／min条件下，选用膜生物反应器中常用的聚醚砜（PES，切割分子量分别为2万、1万和5千）、聚丙烯腈（PAN，切割分子量为20万）、聚偏氟乙烯（PVDF，切割分子量为20万）超滤平板膜和聚醚砜（PES，孔径为0．1μm）、聚丙烯腈（PAN，孔径为0．1μm）、聚偏氟乙烯（PVDF，孔径为0．1μm）微滤平板膜在实验室用死端超滤器上分别对活性污泥悬浮液进行了过滤并探讨了和间歇式生物反应器组合在一起用于中水回用的效果，结果表明：每种组合处理后的出水水质为COD〈50mg／L，NH3-N〈10mg／L，SS为0mg／L，浊度为0NTU，都达到了中水回用的水质标准（CJ25．1．89），其中生物反应器分别与PES超滤膜（5千、1万、2万）和PAN（20万、0．1μm）膜组合时，对COD的去除率较高，但所有组合对NH3-N、TOC去除率及膜的渗透通量都相差不大。此外，根据恒压堵塞过滤定律对膜的污染机理进行的研究证实：对于微滤膜和PAN（20万）超滤膜而言，由滤饼过滤过渡到完全（标准）堵塞，再到滤饼过滤；但对于PVDF（20万）和PES（2万）超滤膜，则由标准堵塞过渡到完全堵塞，再到滤饼过滤；PES（5千、1万）超滤膜的污染机理相对简单，整个过程以滤饼过滤为主。

荷电纳滤膜研究进展

根据所带电荷性质不同,荷电纳滤膜可分为荷正电纳滤膜、荷负电纳滤膜和荷电镶嵌膜。所带电荷不同,其分离模型也不同,荷正（负）电纳滤膜的分离模型有Donnan模型、固定电荷模型、空间电荷模型、静电位阻模型和杂化模型等。荷电镶嵌膜主要通过离子交换进行分离。因此,荷电纳滤膜的分离具有较高的选择性。目前,国内外制作荷电纳滤膜的方法主要有L—S法、表面改性法、共混法和复合法几类,其中表面改性是最常用的方法。     

Towards green membranes: preparation of cellulose acetate ultrafiltration membranes using methyl lactate as a biosolvent

Ultrafiltration membranes were prepared using cellulose acetate (CA) as a polymer, LiCl and CaCl₂ as porogens and methyl-(S)-lactate as a solvent. CA, methyl lactate and the porogens used in this work are obtained from renewable resources; they are biodegradable, non-toxic and non-volatile organic compounds. Flat sheet ultrafiltration membranes were prepared by the phase inversion technique. A molecular weight cut-off between 15 and 35 kDa (polyethylene glycol) and pure water permeability between 13 and 177 litres h^? 1m^? 2 bar^? 1 were obtained. These parameters are in the ideal range for water treatment industry. Improvement of pollutant degree and ecotoxicity of the process was evaluated by ‘green’ metrics by the P (pollutants, persistent and bioaccumulative) and E (ecotoxicity) parameters. Both of these variables were recorded as zero using our method. This study represents a step ahead towards the production of ultrafiltration polymeric membranes by a ‘greener’ process than current methods.     

Selective separation and preconcentration studies of chromium(VI) with Alamine 336 supported liquid membrane

Chromium compounds have received considerable attention because these are used extensively in such industrial applications as electroplating, steelmaking, tanning of leather goods, and corrosion inhibition. The use of supported liquid membranes (SLMs) to remove metals from wastewaters has actively been pursued by the scientific and industrial community. In the present work, the selective separation and preconcentration of Cr(VI) ions has been studied by using a commercial amine as the membrane liquid on the porous polypropylene support. Permeation experiments were conducted on a laboratory scale batch reactor made up of perspex, with a memberane fixed amid the two chambers. The flux of Cr(VI) ions was found to be maximum (3.15?×?10^?5?mol?cm^?2?s^?1) around pH 1. Above and below this pH the flux decreases. Distribution studies show that an increase in the amine concentration leads to higher distribution coefficients at fixed pH values. At pH around unity, the distribution of Cr(VI) ions into the organic phase was found to be maximum, of the order of 56.3. The Cr(VI) transport through the membrane increases with rise in temperature. In order to check the long-term efficiency of the flat sheet SLM, an experiment was conducted with higher Cr(VI) concentration (5000?ppm) for 24?h, at optimised parameters. It was observed that in 24?h, about 1/5th of the feed Cr(VI) is left over while the rest is transported. However, minute organic droplets were also seen in the feed and strip compartments, after 1 day. This observation suggested the loss of membrane liquid. The feasibility of preconcentration of Cr(VI) by using the proposed SLM parameters, was also studied by using the hollow fibre (HF) system. Highest enrichment factor (E.F) value was obtained for 50?mg?L^?1 whereby all of the metal was transported to the stripping phase and the resulting Cr concentration was 688?mg?L^?1 (E.F?=?13.8). It was observed that while treating more diluted solutions, the enrichment factor decreases. The values of E.F equal to 8.9 and 11.3 were found for initial Cr concentration of 10 and 30?mg?L^?1.     

荷负电超滤膜同时去除水中天然有机物和铅离子

通过特定的化学反应对截留分子量为30 kD的再生纤维素(RC)超滤膜进行改性,得到荷负电超滤膜,并研究了其表面荷电性能。选用腐殖酸作为天然有机物的代表物质,研究荷负电改性膜同时去除溶液中腐殖酸和铅离子,主要考察了pH值和腐殖酸铅离子络合作用对两者截留率的影响,并对比了荷负电膜和未改性膜去除天然有机物和铅离子的研究结果。得到如下结论:(1)在酸性及中性溶液环境下,随着pH值的升高,荷负电超滤膜对腐殖酸和铅离子的截留率都提高。(2)铅离子与腐殖酸共存时,腐殖酸铅离子络合体的荷负电性相比于原腐殖酸分子降低,荷负电超滤膜对混合溶液中腐殖酸的截留率有一定程度降低,络合在腐殖酸表面的铅离子随着腐殖酸的截留而被截留,铅离子截留率得到一定程度提升。(3)由于腐殖酸与铅离子络合体带负电,其与荷负电膜之间存在静电作用,所以荷负电改性膜对腐殖酸和铅离子的截留率比未改性中性膜高。
