Article Description

Nanofiltration technology has been widely used in drinking water purification due to its excellent permeance and selectivity properties, especially in small molecular solute separation. However, using oxidizing agents in the pretreatment process for fouling control threatens the nanofiltration membrane structure, leading to the deterioration of the separation performance. Herein, we fabricate a polyester nanofiltration membrane utilizing xylose as an aqueous monomer in the interfacial polymerization process. Due to abundant hydroxyl groups and low reactivity of xylose monomers, the polyester membrane possessed a hydrophilic and thin separation layer, which led to high water permeance with the optimal value of 28.7 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1. Possessing highly cross-linking structures and negatively charged surfaces, the fabricated polyester membranes showed an excellent Na 2 SO 4 rejection of up to 95.4 %. In addition, the low electron-donating property of polyester membranes ensured their chemical stability toward active chlorine. This endows relatively stable performance of the polyester membrane after chlorine resistance tests in a wide pH range. This study presents a feasible approach employing green monomers for fabricating nanofiltration membranes with outstanding separation performance and robust chlorine resistance.
