Iono-molecular Separation with Composite Membranes II. Preparation and characterization of polysulphone and composite nanoparticles

This paper illustrates the possibility of producing iono-molecular separations using ionic colloidal ultrafiltration
membrane of polysulfone synthetic solutions of cupric ions and nitro phenols through ultrafiltration assisted
by polymeric nanoparticle composites based on polysulfone. In the present work, in order to reduce the
operating pressure and increase the flow of water we are using the process of ultrafiltration through a
polysulfone membrane in N-methylpyrrolidone 10% prepared by coagulation in isopropanol. The nanoparticles
needed in colloidal ultrafiltration had been obtained through the immersion technique of precipitation of a
solution of 5% PSf in N-methyl pyrrolidone containing 3% aniline in lower alcohols: methanol, ethanol, and
isopropanol, followed by the oxidation of the remaining aniline in a solution of 10% hydrochloric acid and
ammonium persulfate. The Nanoparticles of polysulfone (NP-PSf) and The three obtained variants of
nanoparticles composites (NP-PSf-PANI) were morphologically (SEM) and (AFM), structurally and
compositionally (FTIR) characterized and the results show that nanoparticles polysulfone have a much
lower range than the composites. The Possibility of copper complexation by both nitrophenols, and by
nanoparticle surface probably lead to the formation of more stable aggregates in the supply, which can
sufficiently justify the increased retention. The Retentions of the chemical species in question use in all the
tests made the same series:RNP-PSf-PANI-M> RNP-PSf-PANI-E> RNP-PSf-PANI-P> RNP-PSf
