Intensification of separation of oil-in-water emulsions using polysulfonamide membranes modified with low-pressure radiofrequency plasma
Abstract Effect of low-pressure radiofrequency capacitively-coupled plasma parameters on the separation of model “oil-in-water” emulsions using UPM-20 polysulfonamide membranes with a pore size of 0.01 μm has been studied. Atmospheric air has been used as a plasma gas. The plasma treatment time is 1, 5, 4, and 7 min at a plasma torch anode voltage of U a = 1.5–7.5 kV. The separated medium is a 3% emulsion based on the industrial oil I-20A; the stabilizer is the surfactant Kosintol-242. The highest performance is observed in the case of membranes treated with plasma for 7 min. It is found that plasma treatment leads to an increase in the emulsion separation efficiency from 90 to 99%. It has been shown that the plasma treatment contributes to the surface hydrophilization of the membranes owing to the formation of oxygen-containing functional groups. The membrane exhibits a contact angle of water of α = 59.6° before treatment and α = 19.5° after a 4-min plasma treatment at U a = 7.5 kV. Atomic force microscopy reveals that the plasma treatment leads to a change in the surface structure of the membranes, namely, to a decrease in their roughness. The internal structure of the membranes also undergoes changes which result in an increase in their crystallinity.
