The persistent issue of ceramic membrane fouling poses significant challenges to its widespread implementation. To address this concern, ozone nanobubbles (ozone-NBs) have garnered attention due to their remarkable mass transfer efficiency. In this investigation, we present a novel ozone-NB generator system to effectively clean a fouled ceramic membrane that is typically employed in the dye industry.

Article Synopsis
  • Nanofiber membranes were created from expanded polystyrene (EPS) waste mixed with poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) for water filtration through electrospinning.
  • The membranes showed a smooth texture and consistent size, with physical properties varying based on the concentration of the EPS/PVP solution, affecting viscosity and surface tension.
  • These membranes demonstrated a high rejection rate of 99.99%, providing an eco-friendly solution to reduce EPS waste while offering an effective alternative for water filtration.

The electrospun nanofiber membrane from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) waste for water treatment applications has been successfully produced. The PVC precursor solution was prepared by dissolving the PVC waste in DMAc solvent, and a centrifuge was used to separate undissolved materials from the precursor solution. Ag and TiO were added to the precursor solution before the electrospinning process.

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is one of the most common fused-filament feedstocks for 3D printing. The rapid growth of the 3D printing industry has resulted in huge demand for ABS filaments; however, it generates a large amount of waste. This study developed a novel method using waste ABS to fabricate electrospun nanofiber membranes (ENMs) for water filtration.
