The present disclosure relates to a layered bimetallic hydroxide-based hydrogel bipolar membrane and a method for preparing the same. The method includes: blade-coating a quaternized polyethersulfone solution on a substrate, and carrying out drying to obtain an anion exchange layer; immersing the layer sequentially and cyclically in a sodium alginate solution and a first metal ion mixed solution to obtain a hydrogel anion exchange membrane; immersing the hydrogel membrane sequentially in a second metal ion mixed solution and an alkaline solution; and blade-coating a sulfonated polyethersulfone solution on the obtained membrane, and carrying out drying to obtain the layered bimetallic hydroxide-based hydrogel bipolar membrane. The anion and cation exchange membrane layers on two sides of the bipolar membrane prepared in the present disclosure are closely bound by way of hydrogel cross-linking. The bipolar membrane has the advantages of high water dissociation efficiency, low energy consumption, and good stability.

A zeolite membrane and a preparation method thereof are provided. The method includes: adding an organic binder solution dropwise to zeolite, and thoroughly grinding and stirring; blade-coating a resulting mixture on a substrate at a given thickness; and drying to obtain the zeolite membrane. The preparation of a zeolite membrane does not require a complicated hydrothermal crystal growth process, and the membrane can be prepared directly from natural zeolite or artificial zeolite. A prepared zeolite membrane has the characteristics of simple preparation process, low cost, prominent water permeability, high contaminant rejection rate and high zeolite load. The zeolite membrane, when used for the rejection of contaminants in water, can not only remove macromolecular contaminants in water, but also efficiently remove ammonia nitrogen by way of ion exchange, which is suitable for advanced treatment of wastewater.

A device for decomplexation and enhanced removal of copper based on self-induced Fenton-like reaction constructed by electrochemistry coupled with membrane separation is disclosed. The device includes a reactor, two electrocatalytic anodes capable of generating hydroxyl radicals, an electrocatalytic cathode membrane assembly, a direct current power supply, an aeration system, an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe. The device of the present invention has a simple construction. Using this device to treat industrial wastewater containing copper complexes under specific conditions allows the decomplexation and the removal of the industrial wastewater containing the copper complexes to be simultaneously realized at a low consumption and a high efficiency. The coupling of electrochemistry with membrane separation can be achieved to protect the cathode from being contaminated by pollutants in the sewage and prolong the service life of the electrode.

A flexible electrocatalytic membrane for removing nitrate from water, a preparation method and use thereof are provided. The method of the present invention includes dropwise adding an aramid fiber solution into deionized water to prepare an aramid nanofiber sol, then reacting an ethanol solution containing 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene and ferric nitrate with the aramid nanofiber sol to prepare a conductive aramid nanofiber sol, and finally dropwise adding MXene nanosheets ultrasonically pretreated by a tetramethylammonium hydroxide solution into the conductive aramid nanofiber sol to prepare the flexible electrocatalytic membrane. The prepared flexible electrocatalytic membrane possesses good mechanical strength and flexibility, and can not only effectively remove nitrate but also avoid failure of electrocatalytic materials due to surface fouling in the process of electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate, and thus has a long service life.

To provide a modified forward osmosis (FO) membrane module for flow regime improvement, the FO membrane module includes but not limited to: a water inlet; a water outlet; a forward osmosis (FO) membrane; a frame; and folded plates for improving flow regime in which draw solution is introduced into the water inlet of membrane module, then flowed through flow channels composed by three opposite folded plates vertically arranged on upper and bottom portions of the frame alternatively along horizontal direction with equal space; and drawn out from the water outlet. The flow regime improvement is achieved by increasing number of flow-guide folded plate, which results in the decrease of internal concentration polarization and membrane fouling. Structure of frame is modified to improve flow regime and to satisfy requirement of convenient and reliable connections between numbers of membrane modules in the FO membrane system.
