    A Positively Charged Loose Nanofiltration Membrane Fabricated Through Complexing of Alginate and Polyethyleneimine With Metal Ions on the Polyamideimide Support for Dye Desalination
    (Elsevier, 2021) Metecan, Ayşe; Cihanoğlu, Aydın; Alsoy Altınkaya, Sacide
    Nowadays, loose nanofiltration (NF) membranes are preferred for dye desalination to achieve high dye/salt selectivity and enable filtration at low operating pressure. However, current fabrication techniques require rigorous reaction conditions and long preparation times. Herein, we used the chelating ability of the polyethyleneimine (PEI) and alginate with the metal ions to fabricate loose NF membranes via a facile approach. The positively charged polyamide imide (PAI)/PEI support was used to build the assembly. Direct attachment of Zn or Fe ions to the PEI chains did not result in a stable complex in the presence of a high salt concentration (1000 ppm NaCl). On the other hand, alginate coated on the support allowed building permanent assemblies after crosslinked with Fe3+ and Zn2+ transition metal ions. The PAI/PEI-Alg-Fe3+ membrane exhibited the highest permeability, excellent antifouling behaviour upon exposure to synthetic textile wastewater, and maintained long-term stability under static and dynamic conditions. Also, the same membrane rejected dyes and coloured substances in real wastewater sample during 72 h continuous filtration. With alginate metal complex formation on a suitable support, a scalable loose NF membrane was manufactured, demonstrating improved throughput value compared to current NF membranes.

    A Facile Route To the Preparation of Antibacterial Polysulfone-Sulfonated Polyethersulfone Ultrafiltration Membranes Using a Cationic Surfactant Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide
    (Elsevier, 2020) Cihanoğlu, Aydın; Alsoy Altınkaya, Sacide
    Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), a cationic surfactant, is known to have strong bactericidal potential. In this study, we report a facile approach for preparing CTAB-containing polysulfone-sulfonated polyethersulfone (PSF-SPES) based ultrafiltration membranes with antibacterial properties. The CTAB was added in gelation medium at three different concentrations and made an electrostatic interaction with SPES at the polymer/bath interface during phase inversion. The successful incorporation of the CTAB in the membrane structure was confirmed by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The CTAB-containing membranes had higher contact angle, lower pure water permeability (PWP) and molecular weight cut-off than the pristine membrane. The membranes prepared at critical and above critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the CTAB showed excellent antibacterial activity on both Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria. On the other hand, the PWP of the membrane decreased from 93 +/- 1.6 to 39.3 +/- 3.2 L/m(2) h bar upon increasing the CTAB concentration from 10(-3) M (=CMC) to 10(-2) M, consequently, CMC was chosen as the optimal concentration. The membrane prepared at the CMC displayed almost 100% flux recoveries after dynamic bacteria filtration followed by simple rinsing with PBS solution. Leaching experiments continued up to 30 days demonstrated that 96% of the CTAB remained in this membrane. Furthermore, at the end of 1 month of storage in 1 M NaCl solution, no change was observed in the antibacterial activity of this membrane compared to fresh membrane. These findings emphasize the potential of the facile approach proposed in this study to develop antibacterial ultrafiltration membranes in a single step.
