The photocatalytic activities of the two modified membranes and their filtration performances were compared in detail. The significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity of the TiO2-Ag composite was proved using a methyl orange (MO) solution (c = 10−5 M) and a crude oil emulsion (c = 50 mg·L−1). The TiO2-Ag-coated membrane reduced the MO concentration by 87%, whereas the TiO2-modified membrane reached only a 46% decomposition. The photocatalytic reduction in the chemical oxygen demand of the emulsion was also ~50% higher using the TiO2-Ag-coated membrane compared to that of the TiO2-coated membrane. The photoluminescence measurements demonstrated a reduced electron/hole recombination, achieved by the Ag nanoparticle addition (TiO2-Ag), which also explained the enhanced photocatalytic activity. A significant improvement in the oil separation performance with the TiO2-Ag-coated membrane was also demonstrated: a substantial increase in the flux and flux recovery ratio (up to 92.4%) was achieved, together with a notable reduction in the flux decay ratio and the irreversible filtration resistance. Furthermore, the purification efficiency was also enhanced (achieving 98.5% and 99.9% COD and turbidity reductions, respectively). Contact angle, zeta potential, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements were carried out to explain the results. SEM and AFM images revealed that on the TiO2-Ag-coated membrane, a less aggregated, more continuous, homogeneous, and smoother nanolayer was formed due to the ~50% more negative zeta potential of the TiO2-Ag nanocomposite compared to that of the TiO2. In summary, via Ag addition, a sufficiently hydrophilic, beneficially negatively charged, and homogeneous TiO2-Ag-coated PVDF membrane surface was achieved, which resulted in the presented advantageous filtration properties beyond the photocatalytic activity enhancement.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2297-8739}, pages = {112}, orcid-numbers = {Gyulavári, Tamás/0000-0001-6103-6689; Janovák, László/0000-0002-2066-319X; Veréb, Gábor/0000-0001-9642-1851} } @article{MTMT:34513997, title = {Photocatalytic and surface properties of titanium dioxide nanoparticles in soil solutions}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34513997}, author = {Solymos, Karolina and Babcsányi, Izabella and Ariya, Badam and Gyulavári, Tamás and Ágoston, Áron and Szamosvölgyi, Ákos and Kukovecz, Ákos and Kónya, Zoltán and Farsang, Andrea and Pap, Zsolt}, doi = {10.1039/D3EN00622K}, journal-iso = {ENVIRON SCI-NANO}, journal = {ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE-NANO}, volume = {11}, unique-id = {34513997}, issn = {2051-8153}, abstract = {Nanotechnology has emerged as a rapidly growing scientific field with diverse applications.

In the early stages of filtration, until reaching a volume reduction ratio (VRR) of ~1.5, the membranes coated with functionalized CNT-containing composites provided significantly higher fluxes than the non-functionalized ones, proving the beneficial effect of the surface modifications of the CNTs. Additionally, until the end of the filtration experiments (VRR = 5), notable flux enhancements were achieved with both TiO2 (~50%) and TiO2/CNT-coated membranes (up to ~300%), compared to the uncoated membrane. The irreversible filtration resistances of the membranes indicated that both the hydrophilicity and surface charge (zeta potential) played a crucial role in membrane fouling. However, a sharp and significant flux decrease (~90% flux reduction ratio) was observed for all membranes until reaching a VRR of 1.1–1.8, which could be attributed to the chemical composition of the oil. Gas chromatography measurements revealed a lack of hydrocarbon derivatives with polar molecular fractions (which can act as natural emulsifiers), resulting in significant coalescent ability (and less stable emulsion). Therefore, this led to a more compact cake layer formation on the surface of the membranes (compared to a previous study). It was also demonstrated that all membranes had excellent purification efficiency (97–99.8%) regarding the turbidity, but the effectiveness of the chemical oxygen demand reduction was slightly lower, ranging from 93.7% to 98%.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {2077-0375}, orcid-numbers = {Gyulavári, Tamás/0000-0001-6103-6689; Pap, Zsolt/0000-0002-8049-0809; Laczi, Krisztián/0000-0002-9399-7406; Perei, Katalin/0000-0001-8989-2284; Nyergesné Illés, Erzsébet/0000-0002-2901-9616; Veréb, Gábor/0000-0001-9642-1851} }
