With increasing amounts of oily water discharged from industrial and domestic sources, purifying oily emulsions using effective and eco-friendly methods is of great significance. Although functional membranes with selective wettabilities have been extensively explored for the efficient purification of oil-in-water emulsions, the development of functional membranes that use green and inexpensive materials, are simple to fabricate, and are easy to scale up remains very challenging. Herein, we report a simple approach that uses biomass to prepare a membrane for the purification of emulsions. A simple top-down approach was used to partially remove lignin and hemicellulose fractions in wood sheets, resulting in a highly porous and flexible wood membrane. The obtained wood membrane shows excellent water-absorbing and underwater anti-oil adhesion properties due to the removal of the hydrophobic lignin. The wood membrane is durable and stable, thereby maintaining its selective wettability in harsh environments. Selective wetting properties along with a porous structure enable the wood membrane to purify surfactant-stabilized oil-in-water emulsions. Such a biomass-derived membrane, which is green, inexpensive, easy to fabricate, and scalable, along with its selective wettability and durability, shows great potential for use as a substitute for existing filter media in diverse industries.
