Facile Separation of Cu2+ from Water by Novel Sandwich NaY Zeolite Adsorptive Membrane

Polyethersulfone-sulfonated polyethersulfone (PES-SPES)/NaY zeolite/nylon sandwich structure membranes were prepared and used to adsorb Cu2+ from water. The adsorption kinetics, isotherm, dynamic experiment, reusability discussed. experimental data showed that the Langmuir isotherm model, Dubinin–Radushkevich (D-R) pseudo-first-order kinetic model can well represent of on membrane, indicating an ion exchange mechanism, with maximum capacity 111.25 mg·g−1. Repeatability experiments show film still has good performance after five times desorption. as-prepared membrane considerable separation in removing aspirin solution, providing a feasible method remove heavy metals drugs.
