Cationic charged polymer species were synthesized via emulsion polymerization and used as polyelectrolytes in polyelectrolyte enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF) for the removal of the anionic dye methyl orange (MO). A cellulose membrane with a 30 kDa molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) was used for the separation process showing almost complete MO removal for a polymer concentration of 1 g L⁻¹ and a dye concentration up to 50 mg L⁻¹. Four cationic surfactants from the CTAB family (DeTAB, DTAB, TTAB, and CTAB) have been investigated in a comparable micellar enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF) process. The MO removal efficiency was lower, and only TTAB and CTAB showed removal efficiencies above 90 %. The flux for the polymer species is slightly lower as for the surfactants, but the removal efficiency is higher, and carbon leaching into the purified stream is much lower.

通过乳液聚合合成阳离子带电聚合物，并将其用作聚电解质增强超滤（PEUF）中的聚电解质，用于去除阴离子染料甲基橙（MO）。截留分子量为30 kDa的纤维素膜（MWCO）用于分离过程，对于1 g L ^-1的聚合物浓度和最高50 mg L ^-1的染料浓度，几乎可以完全去除MO。在可比的胶束增强超滤（MEUF）工艺中，已经研究了四种CTAB系列阳离子表面活性剂（DeTAB，DTAB，TTAB和CTAB）。MO去除效率较低，只有TTAB和CTAB的去除效率高于90％。与表面活性剂相比，聚合物种类的通量略低，但去除效率较高，并且碳浸入纯化物流中的碳通量低得多。
