Hydrothermal method of synthesis, characterization and TFN FO membrane performances of silverton-type anion with 1, 3, 5-triazine hybrid material

Abstract

Silverton-type anion (denoted as PMA) is broadly used in the synthesis of hybrid material because of it stability and ability of sharing oxygen atoms in the wide range of reactions. The hybrid material has been synthesized hydrothermally using silverton-type anion 1, 3, 5-triazine molecules. The synthesized hybrid material has been successfully isolated and characterized using FT-IR/ATR, XRD, SEM, EDS, NMR, TGA, UV, and contact angle measurements. Scanning electron microscopy technique reveals that PMA/1, 3, 5-triazine powder are uniformly arranged and hybrid material structure is not heterogeneous. The contact angle measurement results show that membrane absorption is hydrophilic nature. The hybrid material sustainably enhanced the performances of the membranes. The postulates helps to understand the water molecules could puncture through the pores present in the selective polyamide (PA) active layer, hydrophilic nanoparticles and those in the structure of hybrid material. It results in an increase in permeate flux and surface hydrophilicity to enhance the FO membrane performances. In this paper, the synthesis and characterization and the performances of the membrane has been discussed in detail.
