Abstract
Recovery of water, salts, and hazardous dye from complex saline textile wastewater faces obstacles in separating dissolved ionic substances and recovering organic components during desalination. This study realized the simultaneous fractionation, desalination, and dye removal/recovery treatment of textile wastewater by using trehalose (Tre) as an aqueous monomer to prepare polyester loose nanofiltration (LNF) membrane with fine control microstructure via interfacial polymerization. Outperforming the NF270 commercial membrane, the Tre-1.05/TMC optimized membrane achieves zero-discharge textile wastewater treatment, cutting energy consumption by 295% and reducing water consumption by 42.8%. This efficiency surge results from remarkable water permeability (130.83 L m−2 h−1 bar−1) and impressive dye desalination (NaCl/ Direct Red 23 separation factor of 275) of the Tre-1.05/TMC membrane. For a deeper comprehension of filtration performance, the sieving mechanism of polyester LNF membranes was systematically elucidated. This strategic approach offers significant prospects for energy conservation, carbon emission mitigation, and enhanced feasibility of membrane-based wastewater treatment systems.
