To solve these problems, sulfonated phenolphthalein poly(ether sulfone) (SPES-C, DS= 53.7%) is blended with the SPEEK matrix (DS= 55.1%, 61.7%) to prepare SPEEKJSPES-C blend membrane. The decrease in swelling degree and methanol permeability of the membrane is dose-dependent. Pure SPEEK (DS = 61.7%) membrane dissolves completely in water at 70℃, whereas the swelling degree of the SPEEK (DS = 61.7%)/SPES-C (40%, by mass) membrane is 29.7% at 80℃. From room temperature to 80℃, the methanol permeability of all SPEEK (DS = 55.1%)/SPES-C blend membranes is about one order of magnitude lower than that of Nafion 115. At higher temperature, the addition of SPES-C polymer increases the dimensional stability and greater proton conductivity can be achieved. The SPEEK (DS = 55.1%)/SPES-C (40%, by mass) membrane can withstand temperatures up to 150℃. The proton conductivity of SPEEK (DS = 55.1%)/SPES-C (30%, by mass) membrane approaches 0.16 S·cm^-1, matching that of Nafion 115 at 140℃ and 100% RH, while pure SPEEK (DS = 55.1%) membrane dissolves at 90℃. The SPEEK/SPES-C blend membranes are promising for use in direct methanol fuel cells because of their good dimensional stability, high proton conductivity, and low methanol permeability.展开更多

The simple, but effective monomer sulfonation was performed for SFMC to create compact and rigid hydrophobic backbone structures, while conventional random sulfonation was carried-out for SPEEK. Hydrophilic-hydrophobic-hydrophilic structure of SFMC enhances the compatibility with SPEEK and GO and allows for an unprecedented approach to alter me- chanical strength and proton conductivity of ternary hybrid membrane, as verified from universal test machine (UTM) curves and alternating current (AC) impedance plots. The impact of GO integration on the morphology and roughness of hybrid membrane was scrutinized using field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). Ternary hybrid showed uniform intercalation of GO nanosheets throughout the entire surface of membrane with an increased surface roughness of 8.91 nm. The constructed ternary hybrid membrane revealed excellent water absorption, ion exchange capacity and gas barrier properties, while retaining reasonable dimensional stability. The well-optimized ternary hybrid membrane containing 5 wt% GO revealed a maximum proton conductivity of 111.9 mS/cm, which is higher by a factor of two-fold with respect to that of bare SFMC membrane. The maximum PEMFC power density of 528.07mW/cm2 was yielded by ternary hybrid membrane at a load current density of 1321.1 mA/cm2 when operating the cell at 70 ℃ under 100% relative humidity (RH). In comparison, a maximum power density of only 182.06 mW/cm2 was exhibited by the bare SFMC membrane at a load current density of 455.56 mA/cm2 under same operating conditions.展开更多

To solve these problems, insolvable functionalized silica powder with sulfonic acid groups (SiOx-S) was added into the SPEEK matrix (DS = 55.1%) to prepare SPEEK/ SiOx-S composite membranes. The decrease in both the swelling degree and the methanol permeability of the membranes was a dose-dependent result of addition of the SiOx-S powder. Pure SPEEK membrane swelled 52.6% at 80℃, whereas the SPEEK/SiOx-S (15%, by mass) membrane swelled only 27.3% at the same temperature. From room temperature to 80℃, all SPEEK/SPEEK/SiOx-S composite membranes had methanol permeability of about one order of magnitude lower than that ofNafion115. Compared with pure SPEEK membranes, the addition of the SiOx-S powder not only leads to higher proton conductivity, but also increases the dimensional stability at higher temperatures, and greater proton conductivity can be achieved at higher temperature. The SPEEK/SiO4-S (20%, by mass) membrane could withstand temperature up to 145℃, at which in 100% relative humidity (RH) its proton conductivity exceeded slightly that of Nafion 1 15 membrane and reached 0.17 S·cm^-1, while pure SPEEK membrane dissolved at 90℃. The SPEEK/SiOx-S composite membranes are promising for use in direct methanol fuel cells because of their good dimensional stability, high proton conductivity, and low methanol permeability.展开更多

Here, sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) based semiinterpenetrating polymer networks (semi-IPNs) are successfully prepared by interpenetrating SPEEK into the in-situ synthesized crosslinking networks. The polymeric networks are formed by the covalent bonds between bromobenzyl groups of bro mo methylated poly (phenylene oxide) and amine groups of diamine linkers as well as the ionic bonds between amine species and sulfonated groups. Two linkers without and with sulfonated groups are applied to fabricate the semi-IPNs. The core properties of the membranes, like phase separation, water uptake, proton conductivity and methanol permeability, are systematically studied and compared. The DMFCs assembled by using the semi-IPN membranes display better performance than Nafion 117 in high concentration methanol solutions. The present work provides a facile way to prepare PEMs with enhanced DMFC performance.展开更多

The effects of the mass ratio of methanol to acidified oil,reaction temperature,and catalyst loading were studied to optimize the conditions for maximum conversion of free fatty acids(FFAs). The results showed that the optimal conversion rate of FFAs was 91.87% at the mass ratio of methanol to acidified oil of 2.5:1.0,reaction temperature of 65.0 °C,catalyst loading of 5.0 g and reaction time of 8.0 h. The external and internal mass transfer resistances were negligible based on the experimental results and a pseudo-homogeneous kinetic model was proposed for the esterification. The activation energy and thermodynamic parameters including G,S and H were determined. The conversion rates of FFAs obtained from the established model were in good agreement with the experimental data.展开更多

摘要Silicon(Si)anodes offer an ultrahigh theoretical capacity but face two major barriers to commercialization:severe structural degradation caused by significant volume changes and sluggish ion transport kinetics due to the discontinuous ionic conductance of conventional binders.To address these challenges,we develop a fully integrated Si anode using sulfonated graphene(SG)as a dual-functional ion-conductive and mechanical reinforcing framework within a conventional carboxymethyl cellulose/styrene-butadiene rubber(CMC/SBR)binder.Thermally activated reactions during electrode fabrication establish covalent sulfonate ester bonds between SG and CMC,elastic carboxylate crosslinks between SBR and CMC,and chemical anchoring between the binders and Si particles,which are all further reinforced by hydrogen bonding.This multi-bonding network not only dissipates mechanical stress and maintains electronic connectivity via embedded C65 carbon but also significantly enhances Li+transport through high intrinsic ionic conductivity of SG,facilitating the formation of a stable solid electrolyte interphase(SEI).The resulting Si@CMC/SBR/SG anode delivers a high initial capacity of 3513.2 mAh g-1and retains 77%capacity after 500 cycles at 2 A g-1.It achieves 762 mAh g-1at 4 A g-1and practical areal capacities exceeding 4 mAh cm-2.Full-cell tests with NCM811 cathodes confirm 86.2%capacity retention after 100 cycles.This work demonstrates a pragmatic and scalable integration paradigm for durable,high-energy-density Si anodes.

摘要Film catalysts are considered a promising alternative to homogeneous and conventional solid catalysts,as they address critical challenges related to recyclability and active site accessibility.In this study,chitosan(CS),known for its excellent film-formingability and chemical modifiability,was functionalized to produce sulfonated chitosan(SCS)catalytic filmsfor oleic acid esterification.Firstly,SCS powders were synthesized through the sulfonation of CS using 1,3-propanesulfonic acid lactone(PS)as the sulfonating agent.Structural characterization techniques(FT-IR,1H NMR,XRD and elemental analysis)confirmedthe successful sulfonation,while thermogravimetric analysis(TGA)revealed thermal stability up to 200℃.The strong acid content of SCS-6,prepared at a PS/CS molar ratio of 6,was quantifiedas 1.09 mmol·g-1through titration.This sample exhibited superior catalytic performance compared to the commercial ion-exchange resin LS-51,achieving an activation energy of 30.71 kJ·mol-1.Furthermore,the catalytic filmwas prepared from SCS-6 powder and used to catalyze the esterificationof oleic acid in both a batch stirring kettle and a continuous filmreactor.A high esterificationconversion of 96.11%was achieved in the batch stirring kettle at 65℃,using a methanol-to-oleic acid molar ratio of 10:1 and a catalyst dosage of 5%(mass).In the continuous filmreactor,an esterificationconversion of 65.31%was achieved by adjusting the flowrate to 30 ml·min-1,with a filmarea of 1962.5 mm2 and a reaction solution volume of 143.23 ml.These results underscore the potential of SCS filmcatalysts for continuous industrial production.

摘要Acidic-and alkalic-hydrolyses are selective in breaking functional bonds and falling off pharmacological moieties of antibiotics in production wastewater in comparison with advanced oxidation processes.Elevating temperature can accelerate hydrolytic kinetics and improve efficiency.In this work,magnetic sulfonated polypropylene resin(Fe3O4@PS-S)composites were reported for acidic-thermal hydrolysis of tylosin by employing the acidic feature of sulfonic group,the dielectric effect of resin,and the magnetic-loss effect of magnetite under microwave irradiation.As observed,a rapid and complete mitigation 100 mg/L of tylosin was achieved within 15 min by the catalysts.Acidic cleavage of tylosin was fulfilled by sulfonic groups in the composites,and microwave thermal accelerated the hydrolysis reactions due to the dielectric and magnetic-loss effects.Differentiating the dielectric and magnetic-loss effects through electromagnetic analyses indicated that the latter contributed more in converting microwave energy to heat.The interactions under multiple operational conditions were quantitatively fitted using the Behnajady model and visually demonstrated,which indicated that a synergic effect of microwave thermal-and acidichydrolyses contributed to the efficient mitigation of tylosin.The transformation products were identified and the pathways were supposed.Cleaving deoxyaminosugars groups and destructing lactone structures led to reduced antibacterial potential and toxicity reduction.The acute toxicity of tylosin and transformation products to fish,daphnia,and green algae were all classified as non-toxic.This work suggested that this synergistic acid-thermal hydrolytic method is attractive and promising in pretreating tylosin production wastewater in field.

摘要The sulfonated poly(α-methyl styrene-b-isobutylene-b-α-methyl styrene)copolymers(S-ASIBS)with the average molar percentage of sulfonic acid(-SO3H)groups(SP)ranging from 3.6 mol%to 14.3 mol%could be synthesized by sulfonation of ASIBS with acetyl sulfate.The hydrophilic ionic channels were generated for proton exchange membranes(PEMs)by ion aggregation of-SO3H groups and microphase separation between hydrophobic polyisobutylene and hydrophilic sulfonated poly(α-methyl styrene)segments in S-ASIBS.The proton transport ability was improved while oxidative stability was decreased by increasing SP in S-ASIBS.The appropriate SP of about 12.7 mol%in S-ASIBS provides the available PEMs with high proton transport ability,low methanol permeability and good oxidative stability.The absence of active tertiary hydrogen atoms along S-ASIBS copolymer chains avoids their attack by peroxy radicals.The residual rates of weight(RW)and proton conductivity(Rσ)of S-ASIBS-12.7 membrane after oxidation treatment for 916 h were 84.3%and 88.1%respectively,near to those of commercial Nafion 117(RW=87.9%,Rσ=90.3%).The membrane electrode assembly(MEA)could be prepared by using various S-ASIBS as PEMs for direct methanol fuel cell.The single cell with S-ASIBS-12.7 MEA behaves high performance of open circuit voltage(OCV)of 548 mV and peak power density(Pmax)of 36.1 mW·cm-2,which is similar to those of Nafion 117(OCV=506 mV,Pmax=35.6 mW·cm-2).To the best of our knowledge,this is the first example of advanced S-ASIBS membrane with high proton conductivity,excellent fuel barrier property and remarkable oxidative stability for promising PEMs.

摘要Compared with the most advanced lithium-ion batteries,aqueous zinc-iodine batteries(Zn–I2batteries)have higher theoretical capacity and energy density,thus attracting much attention in energy storage.However,due to several technical issues,the commercialization of Zn–I2batteries is still at a bottleneck,and among them,the“shuttle effect”of polyiodide anions is considered to be a main challenge.In order to minimize the shuttle of polyiodide species within the cathode compartment,we herein synthesize a zinc-ion conductive covalent organic framework(COF),namely DMSBA-Tp-COF,that is used to assemble a composite separator together with commercial glass fiber(GF)substrate and graphene(Gr)by a simple vacuum filtration coating technology.The negatively charged–SO3-ions present in COF coatings enable homogeneous Zn2+flux and simultaneously suppress polyiodides shuttling in the Zn–I2batteries.As a result,the composite Gr@DMSBA-Tp-COF@GF separator endows the corresponding Zn–I2symmetrical cell with excellent long-term cyclic stability with a lifespan over 800 h and high-specific capacity of 3.2 mAh cm-2(at a current density of 20 mA cm-2,voltage range of 0.7–1.7 V).This study provides a prospective strategy to rationally design functional COFs separators and accelerate their applications in high energy storage systems.

摘要A sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) membrane with fairly high degree of sulfonation (DS) swells excessively and even dissolves at high temperature. To solve these problems, sulfonated phenolphthalein poly(ether sulfone) (SPES-C, DS= 53.7%) is blended with the SPEEK matrix (DS= 55.1%, 61.7%) to prepare SPEEKJSPES-C blend membrane. The decrease in swelling degree and methanol permeability of the membrane is dose-dependent. Pure SPEEK (DS = 61.7%) membrane dissolves completely in water at 70℃, whereas the swelling degree of the SPEEK (DS = 61.7%)/SPES-C (40%, by mass) membrane is 29.7% at 80℃. From room temperature to 80℃, the methanol permeability of all SPEEK (DS = 55.1%)/SPES-C blend membranes is about one order of magnitude lower than that of Nafion 115. At higher temperature, the addition of SPES-C polymer increases the dimensional stability and greater proton conductivity can be achieved. The SPEEK (DS = 55.1%)/SPES-C (40%, by mass) membrane can withstand temperatures up to 150℃. The proton conductivity of SPEEK (DS = 55.1%)/SPES-C (30%, by mass) membrane approaches 0.16 S·cm^-1, matching that of Nafion 115 at 140℃ and 100% RH, while pure SPEEK (DS = 55.1%) membrane dissolves at 90℃. The SPEEK/SPES-C blend membranes are promising for use in direct methanol fuel cells because of their good dimensional stability, high proton conductivity, and low methanol permeability.

摘要A ternary hybrid membrane architecture consisting of sulfonated fluorinated multi-block copolymer (SFMC), sulfonated (poly ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) and I or 5 wt% graphene oxide (GO) was fabricated through a facile solution casting approach. The simple, but effective monomer sulfonation was performed for SFMC to create compact and rigid hydrophobic backbone structures, while conventional random sulfonation was carried-out for SPEEK. Hydrophilic-hydrophobic-hydrophilic structure of SFMC enhances the compatibility with SPEEK and GO and allows for an unprecedented approach to alter me- chanical strength and proton conductivity of ternary hybrid membrane, as verified from universal test machine (UTM) curves and alternating current (AC) impedance plots. The impact of GO integration on the morphology and roughness of hybrid membrane was scrutinized using field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). Ternary hybrid showed uniform intercalation of GO nanosheets throughout the entire surface of membrane with an increased surface roughness of 8.91 nm. The constructed ternary hybrid membrane revealed excellent water absorption, ion exchange capacity and gas barrier properties, while retaining reasonable dimensional stability. The well-optimized ternary hybrid membrane containing 5 wt% GO revealed a maximum proton conductivity of 111.9 mS/cm, which is higher by a factor of two-fold with respect to that of bare SFMC membrane. The maximum PEMFC power density of 528.07mW/cm2 was yielded by ternary hybrid membrane at a load current density of 1321.1 mA/cm2 when operating the cell at 70 ℃ under 100% relative humidity (RH). In comparison, a maximum power density of only 182.06 mW/cm2 was exhibited by the bare SFMC membrane at a load current density of 455.56 mA/cm2 under same operating conditions.

摘要A series of sulfonated polyimides(SPIs)containing pyridine groups were prepared by direct polycondensation from 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride(NTDA),4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether-2,2'-disulfonic acid(ODADS)and 4-(4-methoxy)phenyl-2,6-bis(4-aminophenyl)pyridine(DAM).The resulting copolymers displayed good solubility in common organic solvents.Flexible,transparent,tough membranes were obtained via solution casting.All the films showed high thermal stability with desulfonation temperature over 300℃.They exhibited prominent mechanical properties with Young's modulus around 2.0 GPa.High proton conductivity(0.23 S/cm at 100%RH)was also observed.More importantly,the new materials exhibited low water uptake(30 wt%-75 wt%at 80℃)and improved water stability,which were attributed to the acid-base interaction between sulfonic acid and pyridine functional groups.

摘要Polyethersulfone(PES) is widely used as biomaterials due to its thermal stability,mechanical strength,and chemical inertness.Nevertheless,their blood compatibility is still not adequate for hemodialysis and blood purification.In this study,the sulfonated polyethersulfone(SPES) was synthesized through an electrophilic substitution reaction,and PES/SPES blending membranes were prepared.The characterization of the SPES was studied by FTIR.The water adsorption and water contact angle experiments show that the hydrophilicity of PES/SPES blend membrane was improved as for the sulfonate group existing in the SPES.Moreover,PES/SPES blend membrane could effectively reduce bovine serum albumin adsorption and prolong the blood coagulation time compared with the PES membrane,thereby improving blood compatibility.

摘要A sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) membrane with a fairly high degree of sulfonation (DS) can swell excessively and even dissolve at high temperature. To solve these problems, insolvable functionalized silica powder with sulfonic acid groups (SiOx-S) was added into the SPEEK matrix (DS = 55.1%) to prepare SPEEK/ SiOx-S composite membranes. The decrease in both the swelling degree and the methanol permeability of the membranes was a dose-dependent result of addition of the SiOx-S powder. Pure SPEEK membrane swelled 52.6% at 80℃, whereas the SPEEK/SiOx-S (15%, by mass) membrane swelled only 27.3% at the same temperature. From room temperature to 80℃, all SPEEK/SPEEK/SiOx-S composite membranes had methanol permeability of about one order of magnitude lower than that ofNafion115. Compared with pure SPEEK membranes, the addition of the SiOx-S powder not only leads to higher proton conductivity, but also increases the dimensional stability at higher temperatures, and greater proton conductivity can be achieved at higher temperature. The SPEEK/SiO4-S (20%, by mass) membrane could withstand temperature up to 145℃, at which in 100% relative humidity (RH) its proton conductivity exceeded slightly that of Nafion 1 15 membrane and reached 0.17 S·cm^-1, while pure SPEEK membrane dissolved at 90℃. The SPEEK/SiOx-S composite membranes are promising for use in direct methanol fuel cells because of their good dimensional stability, high proton conductivity, and low methanol permeability.

摘要Rod milling sand(RMS)—a coarse sand aggregate—was recycled for cemented paste backfill(CPB)for the underground mined area at the Jinchuan nickel deposit,named rod milling sand-based cemented paste backfill(RCPB).The adverse effects of coarse particles on the transportation of CPB slurry through pipelines to underground stopes resulting in weakening of the stability of the backfill system are well known.Therefore,sulfonated naphthalene formaldehyde(SNF)condensate was used for the performance improvement of RCPB.The synergistic effect of solid content(SC),lime-to-sand ratio,and SNF dosage on the rheological and physicomechanical properties,including slump,yield stress,bleeding rate,uniaxial compressive strength(UCS),as well as mechanism analysis of RCPB,have been explored.The results indicate that the effect of SNF on RCPB performance is related to the SNF dosage,lime-to-sand ratio,and SC.The slump of fresh RCPB with 0.1wt%-0.5wt%SNF increased by 2.6%-26.2%,whereas the yield stress reduced by 4.1%-50.3%,indicating better workability and improved cohesiveness of the mix.The bleeding rate of fresh RCPB decreased first and then rose with the increase of SNF dosage,and the peak decrease was 67.67%.UCS of RCPB first increased and then decreased with the increase of SNF dosage.At the optimal SNF addition ratio of 0.3wt%,the UCS of RCPB curing for 7,14 and,28 d ages increased by 31.5%,28.4%,and 29.5%,respectively.The beneficial effects of SNF in enhancing the early UCS of RCPB have been corroborated.However,the later UCS increases at a slower rate.The research findings may guide the design and preparation of RCPB with adequate performance for practical applications.

摘要Low methanol permeability of proton exchange membranes (PEMs) is greatly important for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). Here, sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) based semiinterpenetrating polymer networks (semi-IPNs) are successfully prepared by interpenetrating SPEEK into the in-situ synthesized crosslinking networks. The polymeric networks are formed by the covalent bonds between bromobenzyl groups of bro mo methylated poly (phenylene oxide) and amine groups of diamine linkers as well as the ionic bonds between amine species and sulfonated groups. Two linkers without and with sulfonated groups are applied to fabricate the semi-IPNs. The core properties of the membranes, like phase separation, water uptake, proton conductivity and methanol permeability, are systematically studied and compared. The DMFCs assembled by using the semi-IPN membranes display better performance than Nafion 117 in high concentration methanol solutions. The present work provides a facile way to prepare PEMs with enhanced DMFC performance.
摘要Sulfonated syndiotactic polystyrene ionomers(SsPS)with 1.8 mol%degree of sulfonation have been studied.WAXD shows that the crystallinity of SsPS ionomers was decreased with increasing diameter size of the counter ions and sPS>SsPS-H>SsPS-K>SsPS-Zn.Moreover,SsPS ionomers only have alpha crystal form,while original sPS has two crystal forms:alpha and beta crystal form.TGA shows that the thermal stability of SsPS ionomers is higher than that of the original sPS and SsPS-Zn>SsPS-K>SsPS-H.DSC shows that all the glass transition temperatures(T-g)of SsPS ionomers are higher than that of the neat sPS and SsPS-Zn>SsPS-Na>SsPS-K>SsPS-H.However,the melting temperature(T-m)and crystallization peak temperature(T-p)of SsPS ionomers are lower and SsPS-H>SsPS-Zn>SsPS-K>SsPS-Na,while the crystallinity(X-c)of SsPS-Zn is the lowest.Nonisothermal crystallization kinetics shows that the Avrami index of sPS and SsPS-H are both about 4,suggesting the nucleation growth of SsPS-H with lower degree of sulfonation still keeps its three-dimension form.FTIR spectra of SsPS ionomers show a splitting absorption band for asymmetric stretching vibration of sulfonation group.The CH in-plane bending vibration of benzene ring shifted to higher wavenumber and the symmetric stretching vibration of sulfonation group changed slightly with different counter ion neutralized SsPS ionomers.
摘要The effects of various quinone compounds on the decolorization rates of sulfonated azo dyes by Sphingomonas xenophaga QYY were investigated.The results showed that anthraquinone-2-sulfonate(AQS)was the most effective redox mediator and AQS reduction was the rate-limited step of AQS-mediated decolorization of sulfonated azo dyes.Based on AQS biological toxicity tests,it was assumed that AQS might enter the cells and kill them.In the cytoplasmic extracts from strain QYY,AQS more effectively increased decolorization rates of sulfonated azo dyes than other quinone compounds.In addition,we found a NADH/FMN-dependent AQS reductase using nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(Native-PAGE).

摘要This study describes the kinetics and thermodynamics of the esterification of acidified oil with methanol catalyzed by sulfonated cation exchange resins(SCER). The effects of the mass ratio of methanol to acidified oil,reaction temperature,and catalyst loading were studied to optimize the conditions for maximum conversion of free fatty acids(FFAs). The results showed that the optimal conversion rate of FFAs was 91.87% at the mass ratio of methanol to acidified oil of 2.5:1.0,reaction temperature of 65.0 °C,catalyst loading of 5.0 g and reaction time of 8.0 h. The external and internal mass transfer resistances were negligible based on the experimental results and a pseudo-homogeneous kinetic model was proposed for the esterification. The activation energy and thermodynamic parameters including G,S and H were determined. The conversion rates of FFAs obtained from the established model were in good agreement with the experimental data.

摘要Sulfonated poly(ether ketone)s containing 3,5-dimethyl phthalazinone moieties(SPPEK-DMs)with different degrees of sulfonation(DS)were synthesized via direct polycondensation from 4-(3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,3-phthalazinone,4,4'-difluorobenzophenone and 3,3'-disulfonate-4,4'-difluorobenzophenone.The chemical structure of SPPEK-DMs was characterized by FTIR and 1H-NMR.Thermal stability of SPPEK-DMs was characterized by the thermogravimetric analysis.The membranes prepared from SPPEK-DMs exhibited ion exchange capacities(IEC)ranging from 0.93 mmol.g-1 to 1.86 mmol.g-1.Water uptake,swelling,oxidative stability and methanol permeability of SPPEK-DMs membranes were investigated.SPPEK-DMs membranes exhibited high oxidative stability.The methanol permeability values of SPPEK-DMs membranes were in the range 5.15×10^-8-6.61×10^-7 cm^2.s-1,which was much lower than those of Nafion117.The proton conductivity of SPPEK-DM40 membranes was 1.1×10^-2 S.cm^-1 at 70℃.

摘要This study was performed to investigate the availability of forward osmosis(FO)for microalgae harvesting using sulfonated polyethersulfone(SPES)/PES porous membranes.In FO process,porous membranes(<25.0 L m^−2 h^−1)exhibited more superior water flux than TFC FO membranes(<2.6 L m^−2 h^−1).Furthermore,the incorporation of SPES has been demonstrated to enhance membrane performance.The effects of SPES content on pore structure and separation performance were investigated.Compared with pure PES porous membranes,porous membranes with 40%SPES yielded an improved hydrophilicity and greater porosity.It exhibited two times higher water fluxes than the pure PES porous membrane.For microalgae harvesting,AL-FS mode(active layer facing the feed solution)was more favourable than AL-DS mode(active layer facing the draw solution)because less deposited microalgae on the active layer mitigate the membrane biofouling.FO operation combined with SPES/PES porous membranes is conducive to preserving microalgae cell integrity under the mild condition.In addition,FO membrane can be cleaned by a simple water rinse.Potential implications were highlighted as a sustainable method for microalgae harvesting because of no pressure input and less chemical cleaning demand.
