Membranes with high water permeance, near-zero rejection to inorganic salts (such as NaCl and NaSO), and almost 100% rejection to organic dyes are of great interest for the dye desalination (the separation of dyes and salts) of textile wastewater. Herein, we prepared reduced graphene oxide membranes in a solvation state (S-rGO) with nanochannel sizes rightly between the salt ions and dye molecules. The S-rGO membrane rejects >99.0% of Direct Red 80 (DR 80) and has almost zero rejection for NaSO. By contrast, conventional GO or rGO membranes often have channel sizes smaller than divalent ions (such as SO) and thus high rejection for NaSO. More interestingly, high salinity in typical dye solutions decreases the channel size in the S-rGO membranes and thus increases the dye rejection, while the NaSO rejection decreases because of the negatively charged surface on GO and the salt screening effect. The membranes also show pure water permeance as high as 80 L m h bar, which is about 8 times that of commercial NF 90 membrane and 2 times that of a commercial ultrafiltration membrane (with a molecular weight cutoff of 2000 Da), rendering their promise for practical dye desalination.
具有高水透过率、对无机盐(如 NaCl 和 NaSO)几乎零截留以及对有机染料近乎 100%截留的膜对于纺织废水的染料脱盐(染料和盐的分离)具有重要意义。在此,我们制备了具有纳米通道尺寸的溶致状态还原氧化石墨烯膜(S-rGO),其尺寸正好介于盐离子和染料分子之间。S-rGO 膜对直接红 80(DR 80)的截留率>99.0%,对 NaSO 的截留率几乎为零。相比之下,传统的 GO 或 rGO 膜的通道尺寸通常小于二价离子(如 SO),因此对 NaSO 的截留率较高。更有趣的是,典型染料溶液中的高盐度会减小 S-rGO 膜中的通道尺寸,从而提高染料截留率,而由于 GO 带负电荷的表面和盐屏蔽效应,NaSO 的截留率会降低。这些膜的纯水透过率也高达 80 L m h bar,约为商业 NF90 膜的 8 倍和商业超滤膜(分子量截止值为 2000 Da)的 2 倍,这使得它们有望在实际的染料脱盐中得到应用。
