Title Study of Adsorption of Micro Plastics (MPs) using PSF/MIL-100(Fe) Membrane in 3D printed column from seawater
Type JournalPaper
Keywords Nanocomposite Metal-organic framework Micro plastics Removal Adsorbent
Abstract In this research, Micro Plastics were separated using a combination of an PSF/MIL-100(Fe) created by layering the polymers such as Polysulfone onto the metal organometallic compound. The effect of MIL-100 (Fe) incorporation on PSF matrix was studied, including the porosity, pore size, morphology, separation performance. In this regard, thirty experiments were designed and implemented using the surface response method and central design software. More recently, polymers such as poly sulfon (PSF), polyamide, poly vinylidene fluoride, and polyether sulfone have become the leading raw materials for the fabrication of membranes. Factors influencing absorption include the amount of absorbent, concentration of MPs, and the duration of exposure, each assessed at three different levels. In each experiment, a quantity of absorbent was placed in ten milliliters of water mixed with MPs, and the amount of MPs removal was measured. Meanwhile, there is a need for more research to investigate the long-term stability of MOFs in aqueous environments and developing efficient regeneration methods for their repeated use. The prepared absorbent had a specific surface area of 1000 g/m2. Instrumental methods were used to investigate the physical properties of the prepared MOF nanoparticles. The test conditions included contact times of 1-5 minutes, absorbent amounts ranging from 1-25 mg, MPs concentrations of 1- 25 mg/L. The 100% removal of MPs was achieved using 10 mg of nano absorbent for a contact time of 5 minutes. In this research, The fabricated PSF/MIL-100(Fe) composite membrane displayed excellent rejection of MPs
