Mitigation of membrane biofouling through surface modification with different forms of nanosilver

Original language description

Membrane biofouling is a serious problem limiting widespread application of membrane technology. Modification of membranes using silver nanoparticles appears to be a promising option for mitigating biofouling. NADIR? UP 150 ultrafiltration membranes madeof polyethersulfone were modified with different forms of nanosilver through i) diffusion of silver ions with subsequent reduction, ii) addition of polyethyleneimine-capped silver nanoparticles, and iii) thermal-pressure fixation of silver-modified nanofibres. The modified membranes for any changes in permeability, antimicrobial properties, silver leaching and contact angle were examined. All modified membranes displayed antimicrobial properties. Both membranes modified through diffusion of silver andpolyethyleneimine-capped silver nanoparticles method mitigated biofouling. These membranes also showed slightly higher permeability than the unmodified control, while silvermodified nanofibre membranes had the lowest permeability of all t
