Preparation and Characterization of BaBi2Nb2O9/PVDF Inorganic-Organic Composite Ultrafiltration Membranes

Article Preview

Abstract:

BaBi2Nb2O9/PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) composite ultrafiltration (UF)membranes were prepared by alloying BaBi2Nb2O9 (BBN) particles uniformly in the PVDF solution (15% polymer weight) and used a phase-inversion method. This paper studied the effect of the concentration of BBN from 0% to 5% in 0.2Mpa on pure water flux and rejection rate to Bovine serum albumin (BSA). The cross-sectional structures of composite membranes were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Moreover, XRD results revealed the crystal structure of PVDF. The experimental results showed that the BBN/PVDF composite ultrafiltration membranes were superior in separation performances than the pure PVDF membranes due to the addition of BBN.
