摘要/Abstract

摘要： The wettability of the membrane surface has shown obvious influent on the separation performance of the membrane. In this work, a hydrophilic PDA-[PDDA/TiO₂]⁺Cl^- membrane was prepared by a one-step codeposition of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) polyelectrolyte solution containing positively charged TiO₂@ PDDA nanoparticles with the assistance of dopamine (DA). Such positively charged membrane can be transformed into a hydrophobic membrane PDA-[PDDA/TiO₂]⁺PFO^- via the counterion exchange between Cl^- and PFO^- (perfluorooctanoate). The transformation between hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity is reversible. For both hydrophilic and hydrophobic membranes, the nanofiltration performances were respectively investigated by the aqueous solution and ethanol solution of dyes including methyl blue (MB), Congo red (CR) and Evans blue (EB), and as well metal salt aqueous solution. The consecutive running stability and anti-fouling performance of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic membranes were explored. The results revealed that both membranes showed high nanofiltration performances for retention of dyes in (non)aqueous solution. For the hydrophilic membrane, the rejection of salts in a sequence is MgSO₄ > Na₂SO₄ > MgCl₂ > NaCl. Moreover, both
