Anatase-Cellulose Acetate for Preparing Antifouling Desalination Membrane

Article scientifique 2023 Anglais

Résumé

Abstract This study aimed to prepare antifouling and highly mechanical strengthening membranes for brackish and underground water desalination. It was prepared from cellulose acetate (CA) loaded anatase. Anatase was prepared from tetra-iso-propylorthotitanate and carboxymethyl cellulose. Different concentrations of anatase (0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 and 0.8) % were loaded onto CA during the inversion phase preparation of the membranes. The prepared membranes were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM & EDX), mechanical properties, swelling ratio, porosity determination, and ion release. The analysis confirmed the formation of anatase on surface and inside the macro-voids of the membrane. Furthermore, the loading of anatase improved the mechanical properties of the CA membrane and decreased its swelling and porosity rate. Also, CA-loaded anatase membranes displayed a significant antibacterial potential against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It can be concluded that the prepared CA-loaded anatase membranes have high mechanical properties that are safe, economical, available, and can stop membrane biofouling.
