Effect of HNTs modification in nanocomposite membrane enhancement for bacterial removal by cross-flow ultrafiltration system
This study investigated the potential of silver lactate (SL)-holloysite nanotube clay (HNTs) nano-filler embedded into the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) polymer matrix as an antibacterial separator. Three different nanocomposite membranes were fabricated via phase inversion technique aimed to enhan...

description |
This study investigated the potential of silver lactate (SL)-holloysite nanotube clay (HNTs) nano-filler embedded into the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) polymer matrix as an antibacterial separator. Three different nanocomposite membranes were fabricated via phase inversion technique aimed to enhance the permeation flux and fouling resistance with complete bacterial rejection. HNT has been modified by N-β-(aminoethyl)-É£-aminopropyltrimethoxy silane (AEAPTMS) aiming for immobilization of SL on the surface HNT during dope preparation. Salmonella and Enterobacter aerogenes (E. aerogenes) were considered as two types of bacteria to be removed from contaminated water in this experimental work. Nanocomposite membranes were characterized and analyzed by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) combined with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), contact angle, molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) and tensile strength. Potential silver ion loss was assessed by measuring the silver content in the coagulation bath and in the UF permeate using inductive-coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). Moreover, antibacterial effect of the membrane was examined in terms of removal of microorganisms by filtration, Log Reduction Value (LRV) and thickness of inhibition zone. From the experimental results, the prepared nanocomposite membranes have shown more than 99% bacterial rejection, LRV of more than 3 and broad inhibition zones in the agar plate. In particular, the nanocomposite membrane consisting M-HNTs/SL/PVDF showed significant improvement in permeation flux and flux declination among all the tested membranes. It was also found that modification of HNTs resulted in reduction of silver leaching by uniform distributing of SL, which contributed to significant inhibition for both types of growth bacteria within 24 h of incubation. |
