Preparation and Desalination Performance of PA/UiO-66/PES Composite Membranes.

UiO-66 nanoparticles are considered highly potential fillers for the application in desalination membranes. In this study, UiO-66 nanoparticles were anchored to PES membrane substrates, which were subsequently subjected to the interfacial polymerization reaction to coat a layer of polyamide (PA) on their surface. For comparison, a blank membrane incorporating no UiO-66 and a reference membrane incorporating ZrO (instead of UiO-66) were prepared.

Investigation into the Adsorption of Methylene Blue and Methyl Orange by UiO-66-NO Nanoparticles.

In this work, the adsorptive removal of methylene blue and methyl orange by UiO-66-NO nanoparticles was studied. The influence of pH on the adsorption capacity was assessed. The kinetics of the adsorption process were investigated and compared with pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich, and intraparticle models.
