In this research, a contra-diffusion cell, which is an effective instrument for growing inorganic layers on porous substrates, was applied to prepare a thin layer of zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) ultrafiltration membranes. With using of methanol as a solvent, a thin layer of ZIF-8 was fabricated resulted in a flexible inorganic coated organic membrane. The ZIF-8 nanoparticles were formed as a resistant layer on the outer surface and inner pores of PVDF support and its effect on permeability, flux recovery ratio (FRR) and treatment of colored wastewater was investigated. Manufacturing parameters such as the reaction time between Zn2+ ions and imidazole ligands (16, 24 and 36 h) and concentration of PVDF in the casting solution of the support membranes (18, 20 and 22 wt%) were considered. The SEM images showed the well-growing of uniform and a thin layer of ZIF-8. The membrane performance tests revealed that ZIF-8 decorated membranes have higher pure water flux, BSA protein rejection and FRR related to the uncoated PVDF membrane. The fabricated membranes indicated high removal efficiency in three different MW dyes (Rhodamine B, Reactive Green 19 and Direct Black 38), with 75, 85 and 98% rejection, respectively.
