Abstract

Composite materials based on polyacrylonitrile polymers were synthesized by modifying commercial membranes with the composite containing hydrated zirconium dioxide (HZD) and graphene oxide (GO, ≈2 mass%). The particles of the inorganic ion exchanger are covered with GO nanosheets. The composite forms a “secondary active layer” inside polymer membranes. Its thickness was estimated according to the Kozeny–Carman equation, these values are about 3–12% of the total membrane thickness. The effect of polymer matrix on ion transport and fouling with organic substances, particularly with OVA and BSA proteins, has been found. Large pores of polymer matrix evidently provoke the deposition of GO aggregates inside the membrane. This provided hydrophobicity of pore walls. As a result, the fouling mechanism involves adsorption of organic species on pore walls similar to pristine polymer membranes. Moreover, GO swelling causes acceleration of diffusion of alkaline metal ions. The modified membrane with smaller pores shows slow diffusion of monovalent ions. The mechanism of fouling is the cake formation: the precipitate can be easily removed from the outer surface of the membranes. In all the cases, HZD–GO composite provides rejection of hardness ions (10–14%) as well as BSA and OVA (95–98%).
