ZrO2 Nanoparticles Filler-Based Mixed Matrix Polyethersulfone/Cellulose Acetate Microfiltration Membrane for Oily Wastewater Separation

Sura Mawlood Abbas, Sama Mohammed Al-Jubouri

Abstract


Membrane technology has emerged as a dynamic field of study in academia and industry for treating produced oily wastewater. ZrO2 nanoparticles (ZrO2 NPs) filler-based mixed matrix polyethersulfone/cellulose acetate microfiltration membranes were fabricated and inspected in the oily wastewater remediation. The fabricated bare PES membrane, PES/CA blended polymers membrane, and PES/CA blended polymers incorporating ZrO2 NPs (ZrO2@PES/CA) membranes by phase inversion technique were inspected by field emission scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and measurement of water contact angle and porosity. The ZrO2@PES/CA membrane which consisted of 0.5 wt.% ZrO2 NPs (0.5%ZrPC) afforded increased hydrophilicity and reduced water contact angle from 70° for P membrane to 30.23°. Also, the 0.5%ZrPC membrane gave pure water flux of 88.89 L/m2.h, high oil rejection of 98.2% and showed remarkable antifouling capacity with a high flux recovery ratio of 89.3% and relative flux reduction of 34.3%. The effect of transmembrane pressure (1, 2, 3, and 4 bar), feed temperature (25, 40, and 50 °C), and an initial oil concentration (250, 500, 750, and 1000 mg/L) on the permeation flux and oil rejection of the 0.5%ZrPC membrane was investigated. The results revealed that ZrO2@PES/CA membranes have a significant potential for effective oil removal with high permeability and antifouling ability. The 0.5%ZrPC membrane confirmed its durability and reusability when kept an acceptable oil removal after 5 cycles.
