Abstract
The oil spills and organic wastewater is a kind of environmental pollution which attracts widely concern. Membrane separation is a potential technology to settle these wastewaters. However, the high cost, the weak antifouling property, and the less functionality of the separation materials limit their promotion. In this work, the sodium alginate/polyvinyl alcohol/graphite-phase carbon nitride (PVA@SA@CN) hydrogel composite membranes were coated on the stainless steel mesh, and the double-network composite membrane was constructed. Results indicated that the PVA@SA@CN composite membrane is superhydrophilic/underwater superhydrophobic, and this composite presents excellent anti-fouling property. Oil-water separation experiments indicated that the separation efficiency was higher than 99 % even constitutively separated for 50 times, and the highest flux reached to 4.5 × 103 L·m−2·h−1. In addition, the PVA@SA@CN composite membrane also presented exceptional self-cleaning ability. This research provides a new approach to the field of continuous oil-water separation.
期刊介绍:
The aim of this international journal is to analyse and publicise the progress and current state of knowledge in the field of organic coatings and related materials. The Editors and the Editorial Board members will solicit both review and research papers from academic and industrial scientists who are actively engaged in research and development or, in the case of review papers, have extensive experience in the subject to be reviewed. Unsolicited manuscripts will be accepted if they meet the journal''s requirements. The journal publishes papers dealing with such subjects as:
• Chemical, physical and technological properties of organic coatings and related materials
• Problems and methods of preparation, manufacture and application of these materials
• Performance, testing and analysis.
