Hierarchical underwater oleophobic electro-ceramic/carbon nanostructure membranes for highly efficient oil-in-water separation

Shaheen Fatima Anis et al.

Summary: A novel conductive ceramic membrane was fabricated using nano-zeolite and carbon nanostructures (CNS) for efficient oil/water separation. The composite membrane structure, with adjustable ratios of zeolite and CNS, greatly facilitated rapid water permeation and high rejection of crude oil. The conductive nature of the membrane allowed for periodic electrolysis, leading to considerable flux recovery after filtration cycles.

State-of-the-Art Ceramic Membranes for Oily Wastewater Treatment: Modification and Application

Mingliang Chen et al.

Summary: Membrane filtration is a promising method for oily wastewater treatment, with ceramic membranes showing less fouling compared to polymeric membranes. Improving the fouling resistance of ceramic membranes is important for reducing energy consumption and increasing membrane lifespan. Different methods, including sol-gel, dip-coating, and atomic layer deposition, are used for ceramic membrane modification to enhance performance in oily wastewater treatment. Nano-sized metal oxides and graphene oxide are potential candidates for ceramic membrane modification to increase flux and alleviate fouling. Passive antifouling ceramic membranes, like photocatalytic and electrified ceramic membranes, have shown potential in fouling control, oil rejection, and flux enhancement, but also have limitations.
