Abstract
Membrane separation technology is widely employed for the treatment of oily wastewater. Nevertheless, the wettability characteristics of the membrane present a constraint on the rate at which the oil-water mixture can permeate through it. This research presents an innovative methodology involving the fabrication of a double-layer composite fiber membrane via coaxial electrospinning. The process employs polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers to form the composite fiber shell, while nylon fibers (PA6) serve as the inner core. The results indicate that the composite membrane made from PA6-PVA fiber exhibits advantageous hydrophilic properties and superoleophobic characteristics, as evidenced by a contact angle of 60° for water in air and 150° for oil submerged in water. Furthermore, the stable membrane flux of the PA6-PVA composite fiber membrane was found to be approximately double that of the PA6 fiber membrane. This investigation presents a viable technique for integrating PA6 into oil-water separation applications.
