- Abstract
- Herein, we demonstrate the synthesis of beta-cyclodextrin (β–CD) functionalized polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and iron-based metal-organic framework (Fe–MOF) mixed matrix membrane (MMM) for the enhanced removal of ciprofloxacin (CIP) from water. The membranes were prepared using the phase inversion technique with PVDF as the polymer matrix, Fe–MOF as the filler, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the porogen. The optimized MMM with 7% wt. Fe–MOF exhibited excellent performance with 87.6% removal efficiency. Moreover, the maximum adsorption capacity was 6.43 mg g–1. The β–CD functionalization improved the MMM hydrophilicity exhibited by the water contact angle (WCA) analysis (WCA = 55°). Furthermore, excellent adsorption performance can be attributed to the large Fe–MOF specific surface area (682.5 m2 g–1), the high porosity (77%), and the average pore diameter (395 nm) of the membrane. The inclusion of PVP (1% wt.) enhanced the porous nature of the MMM and, consequently, the adsorption performance for CIP. Notably, the hydrophilic and macroporous membrane showed good reusability with over 70% removal efficiency after five sequential adsorption–desorption cycles. The insights from this study suggest that the PMC–7 membrane can be an excellent candidate for the remediation of organic contaminants from aquatic environments. © The Author(s) 2024.
