Abstract

Abstract The potential toxicity of heavy metals arising from the discharge of industrial wastewater has become a serious public concern. Fabrication of a thin film composite (TFC) NF membrane with desirable rejection of heavy metal ions is an attracting route to solve this problem. Hereon, we proposed a facile strategy for fabricating a TFC NF membrane with excellent heavy metal removal. The ratio of PIP and TMC was greatly enlarged by decreasing the concentration of TMC to an exceptional low extent. Thus a polyamide film with weak electronegativity and small pore size was successfully constructed on an ultrafiltration substrate membrane. Comprehensive characterizations were adopted to reveal the micro-variation of the resulted NF membranes when regulating TMC concentration. The optimized membrane prepared only with PIP and TMC can exhibit a high pure water permeability of 14.6 L m−2 h−1 bar−1, desirable rejection of over 98% against Ni2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, and >92.7% against Cd2+. This performance could go beyond most of the reported candidates which were prepared with other complicated methods. The simplicity, low cost and scaling up feasibility of the current strategy is expected to well meet the requirements of industrial production of TFC NF membrane for heavy metal removal.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
