Abstract:

PVDF/ZrO2 hybrid membranes was synthesized by blending the PVDF casting solution and ZrO2 nanoparticles whose surface was modified by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and thermal analysis were used to character the membranes. The results showed that the functionalized ZrO2 nanoparticles were deposited on the surface and entrapped into the inner pores of PVDF. The pore size of PVDF was affected by ZrO2 additions, which were enlarged as the ZrO2 loading amounts increased. The adsorption experiments of BHb showed that an enhanced adsorption capacity was observed for PVDF/ZrO2 hybrid membranes. When the initial concentration of BHb was 150 μg/mL, the pH value was 7 and the contact time was 45 min, the maximum capacity of hybrid membrane was 0.181 mg/cm2. Its adsorption kinetics was in accordance with the first order kinetics model, and the adsorption isothermal was fitted to the Langmuir equation.
