Composite microfiltration polyethersulfone membranes with molecularly imprinted particles (MIPs) were developed for efficient and selective adsorption of 17β-estradiol from water. The membranes exhibited significant adsorption loading and high selectivity for 17β-estradiol, even in the presence of other micropollutants. The membranes also showed excellent reusability and a maximum adsorption capacity more than 200 times higher than commercial nanofiltration.
Composite microfiltration polyethersulfone membranes incorporating molecularly imprinted particles (MIPs) were developed for efficient and selective adsorption of 17 & beta;-estradiol from water. MIP particles were synthesized via precipitation polymerization, with 17 & beta;-estradiol as the template molecule. The composite membranes were prepared by embedding the MIPs into the membrane matrices using phase inversion process. Electron beam irradiation was used to covalently immobilize the MIP particles within the membrane scaffold. The synthesized membranes were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), water contact angle analysis, permeation tests and mercury porosimetry. The adsorption loading, selectivity, reusability, and adsorption isotherms were studied through batch and dynamic adsorption experiments. The results indicated significant adsorption loading of 17 & beta;-estradiol (12.9 & PLUSMN; 1 mg g(-1)) and selectivity factors as high as 6.2 and 12.5 for 17 & beta;-estradiol in the presence of model micropollutants (such as bisphenol A and citalopram), respectively. Moreover, the composite membranes were regenerated and reused without any significant loss in adsorption loading for 10 subsequent cycles. The maximum adsorption capacity of 17 & beta;-estradiol on the composite membrane, calculated by fitting experimental data with the Langmuir equation, was 21.9 mg g(-1), which is more than a 200-fold increase in the adsorption loading compared to commercial nanofiltration. These composite microfiltration membranes exhibit a high adsorption loading accompanied by lower pressure requirements for filtration, high water permeation, and extended reusability, rendering them a viable and sustainable option for water purification processes.
