We report a membrane for oil-water separation with anomalous wettability constructed by sub-10 nm Tween 80 assembly on hydrophobic PVDF nanofibers, providing separate passageways for water and oil. Water freely passes through the membrane along the hydrophilic nanofiber surface, while emulsified oils are diverted beneath the ultra-thin hydrophilic layer and discharged as continuous macroscopic oil phase. After continuously filtering oil-in-water emulsions for 10 hours, the membrane showed stable permeate flux as high as 536 ± 40 L m-2 h-1 bar- 1. The conformation assembly of surfactants provides a new strategy for fabricating anti-fouling membranes for oil/water separation.
Oil fouling is an inherent threaten of membrane-based separation of oil-water emulsion, while common physical sieving membrane separation and coalescence demulsification fail to achieve long term applications and combat severe water flux declines. We hereby report an oil-water-receiving membrane with anomalous wettability constructed by sub-10 nm Tween 80 assembly on hydrophobic PVDF nanofibers to establish independent water and oil transmembrane passageway. Water can go through the membrane freely along the hydrophilic nanofiber surface. While emulsified oils were diverted beneath the ultra-thin hydrophilic layer and captured by PVDF bulk to form coalesced oil phase and discharged out of the nanofibrous membrane as continuous macroscopic oil phase. The membrane showed stable permeate flux as high as 536 & PLUSMN; 40 L m-2 h-1 bar- 1 after 10 h of continuously filtering oil-in-water emulsions. The conformation assembly of surfactants with hydrophilic and hydrophobic chains provides a new strategy to fabricate anti-fouling membranes for oil/water separation.
