Membrane distillation (MD) is a promising process for the treatment of highly saline wastewaters. The central component MD stable porous hydrophobic membrane with large liquid-vapor interface efficient water vapor transport. A key challenge current polymeric or hydrophobically modified inorganic membranes insufficient operating stability, resulting in some issues such as wetting, fouling, flux, and rejection decline. This study presents an overall conceptual design application strategy...
Abstract Rational design of high-performance stable metal–organic framework (MOF) membranes is challenging, especially for the sustainable treatment hypersaline waters to address critical global environmental issues. Herein, a molecular-level intra-crystalline defect strategy combined with selective layer thinning protocol proposed fabricate robust ultrathin missing-linker UiO-66 (ML-UiO-66) membrane enable fast water permeation. Besides almost complete salt rejection, high and flux achieved...
Industrial waste coal fly ash, containing hazardous metal oxides, poses potential threats to the environment and humans. Efficient recycling of such kind solid state is highly desired yet still challenging. This work addressed waste-to-resource fabrication a porous whisker-structured mullite ceramic membrane for separation simulated oil-in-water emulsion wastewater by ash natural bauxite with addition WO3. The formation characterizations membranes were systematically studied including...
It remains challenging for graphene oxide (GO) membranes to achieve highly efficient performance and sufficient stability aqueous molecule/ion precise separations. Herein, a molecular-level rational structure design protocol was proposed develop ceramic-based framework (GOF) with significantly enhanced sieving removal of salts micropollutants. Via molecular cross-linking strategy, interlayered nanochannels between GO nanosheets can be rationally designed, featuring precisely tailorable...
Rational design of a high-performance defect-free polyamide (PA) layer on robust ceramic substrate is challenging for forward osmosis (FO) water treatment applications. In this study, we first demonstrated ceramic-based thin-film composite (TFC) FO membrane by engineering novel nanocomposite interlayer titanium dioxide and carbon nanotube (TiO2/CNT). The structural morphologies properties were systematically characterized different substrates (without interlayer, with TiO2 or TiO2/CNT...
Treatment of highly saline wastewaters via conventional technology is a key challenging issue, which calls for efficient desalination membranes featuring high flux and rejection, low fouling, excellent stability. Herein, we report high-strength flexible electro-conductive stainless steel-carbon nanotube (SS-CNT) membrane, exhibiting significantly enhanced anticorrosion antifouling ability microelectrical field-coupling strategy during membrane distillation. The substrates exhibited...
Conventional separation membranes suffer from evitable fouling and flux decrease for water treatment applications. Herein, a novel protocol of electro-enhanced membrane is proposed the efficient microsized emulsions (∼1 μm) by rationally designing robust electroresponsive copper metallic membranes, which could mitigate oil coenhance permeance (from ∼1026 to ∼2516 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1) rejection ∼87 ∼98%). High-flux Cu exhibit superior ductility electrical conductivity, enabling promising...
