Abstract | This work presents the development of polyvinyl chloride/functionalised multi-carbon nanotube (PVC/F-MWCNT) membranes and PVC/graphene oxide (PVC/GO) membranes for the improved removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) from actual petroleum wastewater. Also, this work for the first time presents the proposed interaction mechanism between the contents of PVC/GO and PVC/F-MWCNT membranes as well as the interaction mechanism of each composite membrane with water molecules. The effect of both F-MWCNT and GO content on the characteristics and performance of the PVC/F-MWCNT membrane and PVC/GO membrane were studied. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), contact angle (CA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), porosity and tensile strength were used to examine the properties of F-MWCNT, GO, PVC/F-MWCNT and PVC/GO membranes. The composite membranes’ performance was studied by measuring the rejection of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and mass flux. It was found that F-MWCNTs and GO played significant roles in the membranes’ structural morphology. A significant improvement was obtained in the CA, porosity and tensile strength of the membranes by embedding the PVC casting solution with 0.12 wt% of each F-MWCNTand GO. The PVC/F-MWCNTs membrane showed higher performance in term of mass flux and COD rejection that reached 88.9%, which makes using a PVC/F-MWCNTs membrane preferable to remove COD from petroleum wastewater. |
