Abstract
Recently, MOF-based oil/water separation membranes with superwettability have attracted great attention in the treatment of oily wastewater due to their uniform chemical composition and intrinsic porosity. However, the real separation performance is still limited by broking the metal-ligand bonds of conventional MOF materials in extreme chemical and mechanical environments, such as acidic, alkaline, saline, organic, and abrasion. Herein, we provide a metal hydroxide-organic framework (MHOF) composite mesh membrane for high-efficient oil/water separation by simply growing Ni2(OH)2 clusters onto a polydopamine (PDA)-modified stainless-steel mesh (SSM). Compared with conventional MOF materials, our membrane possesses ultra-durable underwater superoleophobicity by taking advantages of its strong chemical bridging, rich hydrophilic groups, and rough surface morphology, which enables a 1 μL water droplet to spread to 0° contact angle within <100 ms and also obtains an ultra-low underwater oil adhesion force ∼1.9 μN. Separation of both oil/water mixtures and oil-in-water emulsions can be achieved by this Ni-based MHOF mesh membrane with high separation efficiency >99.7 % and large permeate flux >57,000 L m−2 h−1. Furthermore, the Ni2(OH)2@PDA-SSM mesh membrane exhibits excellent anti-oil-fouling, chemical stability and abrasion resistance, which shows a promising candidate for practical applications. This study provides a rational strategy to construct high-performance MHOF membranes for oil/water separation.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Membrane Science is a publication that focuses on membrane systems and is aimed at academic and industrial chemists, chemical engineers, materials scientists, and membranologists. It publishes original research and reviews on various aspects of membrane transport, membrane formation/structure, fouling, module/process design, and processes/applications. The journal primarily focuses on the structure, function, and performance of non-biological membranes but also includes papers that relate to biological membranes. The Journal of Membrane Science publishes Full Text Papers, State-of-the-Art Reviews, Letters to the Editor, and Perspectives.
