摘要

The methods for incorporating UiO-66 (Zr) metal organic framework (MOF) into electrospun nanofibers made of polysulfone (PS) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were used to generate a UiO-66(Zr)/PVP/PS electrospun nanofiber membrane (ESNFM). A variety of techniques were employed to evaluate the pure PS, PVP/PS, and UiO-66(Zr)/PVP/PS ESNFM, including BET, contact angle, SEM, FT-IR, EDX, and XRD. The effects of PVP dosage, UiO-66 (Zr) MOF dose, pH, initial concentration, and contact time were examined on batch adsorption experiments of Cd2⁺metal ion, methyl red (MR), and methyl green (MG) dyes from wastewater onto UiO-66(Zr)/PVP/PS ESNFM. The UiO-66(Zr)/PVP/PS ESNFM demonstrated greater hydrophilic properties compared to the electrospun fiber membranes of pure PS and PVP/PS, with a superior contact angle (61.2 ± 1.4°) than PVP/PS (64.5 ± 1.9°) and pure PS (76.1 ± 2.2°).The maximum removal efficiencies of Cd2+, MG, and MR dyes at pH 6 were 98.14%, 94.95%, and 87.9%, and with adsorption capacities of 10.67, 9.7, and 8.82 mg/g, respectivily. The uptake of Cd2+, MG, and MR dyes onto the UiO-66(Zr)/PVP/PS ESNFM was investigated using a number of isothermal models; the Freundlich and Temkin models provided the best fit to the data. pseudo-first-order model provided a good explanation of the kinetics. An investigation of the UiO-66(Zr)/PVP/PS ESNFM recycling, utilizing three consecutive cycles of adsorption and desorption verified its long-term stability and showed no discernible decline in removal performance. TDS decreased from 4350 to 4005 mg/L with a removal efficiency of 7.93% and COD decreased from 698 to 5 mg/L with a removal efficiency of 99.3% when UiO-66(Zr)/PVP/PS ESNFM was applied to a real brackish textile effluent. The UiO-66(Zr)/PVP/PS ESNFM showed a high removal efficiency ranging from 95.81 to 99.6% for a range of heavy metal ions. The developed UiO-66(Zr)/PVP/PS ESNFM is proposed as an effective membrane for the treatment of brackish textile wastewater.
