Abstract

Membrane technology is becoming more and more significant across numerous sectors due to its multidisci-plinary nature. End-of-life (EoL) membrane disposal in landfills entails major financial and environmental con-cerns, necessitating their sustainable management. This study proposes a new robust approach of remanufacturing EoL membranes and tailoring their surface properties for different applications. Chemical cleaning and surface modification employing a bio-inspired polydopamine (PDA)-based coating were used to accomplish this. The creation of a new functional surface layer with performance on par with commercial mem-branes for wastewater treatment was proven by extensive chemical and morphological surface characterization.& COPY; 2023 CIRP.
