Abstract
Surface modification of membranes with inorganic nanomaterials presents an effective approach to fabricating antifouling oil-water separation membranes. In this study, we develops an in-situ electrostatic crosslinking method to fabricate oil-water separation membranes with nanocomposite coatings. The carboxyl-grafted F127(F127–COOH) is dissolved in the casting solution, while the quaternary ammonium group-modified SiO2 nanoparticles (SiO2-Q) are dispersed in the coagulation bath. During the NIPS, F127–COOH anchors SiO2-Q on the membrane surface through in-situ electrostatic crosslinking, leading to the construction of a hydrophilic nanocomposite coating. The optimal membrane exhibits a permeance of up to 775 L m−2 h−1 bar−1, a flux decline rate as low as 4.7 %, and a flux recovery rate as high as 99.1 %, showing excellent antifouling performance. In addition, the prepared membrane exhibits outstanding self-cleaning property against high-viscosity crude oil. This work presents a facile method for membrane surface modification using functionalized nanomaterials.
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.
