Charged ultrafiltration (UF) membranes can repel electrically charged molecules that are smaller than the size of the membrane pores and display high rejection of solutes, high flux, and low operation pressures compared to uncharged UF, nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO). Here, a charged UF membrane composite (PANI/PVDF) was prepared and regulated via electrochemically reversible control in portions of amine/imine functional groups of PANI. As a result, the permeability and rejection ratios of CR2- on charged PANI/PVDF, with PVDF as a control, increased from 19.6 to a maximum of 183.3 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 and from 3.4% to 74%, which expands the trade-off confine benefited from surface potential change from -12.21 mV to -25.26 mV, furtherly, the rejection ratio of CR2- on PANI/PVDF reached up to 93% via the electrochemical regulation. Finally, a fixed-charge model was built that well describes the steric and electric repulsion effects on membrane performance and the important roles of the electrochemically controllable surface charge. Moreover, the contour map of rejection ratios containing the ratio of molecular size vs the average pore size of the membrane (r/R = 0.2-1.0) and the zeta potential (-10 to -60 mV) were taken into account, which can be used to visually understand the rejection performance of membranes. This model is also appropriate for varying molecular sizes and for molecules with different charges. Our work opens a new horizon for the design of electrochemically controllable charged membranes to remove charged compounds.

D014462 Ultrafiltration The separation of particles from a suspension by passage through a filter with very fine pores. In ultrafiltration the separation is accomplished by convective transport; in DIALYSIS separation relies instead upon differential diffusion. Ultrafiltration occurs naturally and is a laboratory procedure. Artificial ultrafiltration of the blood is referred to as HEMOFILTRATION or HEMODIAFILTRATION (if combined with HEMODIALYSIS).
