Abstract
With the advantages of one-dimensional hollow structure, high porosity and prominent mechanical strength, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have been extensively utilized to improve conventional filtration membranes for oil/water separation. Their intrinsic hydrophobicity, however, adversely affects the anti-fouling performance of the SWCNT membrane. Herein, a super-hydrophilic and underwater super-oleophobic hierarchical modified membrane with enhanced permeability and anti-fouling property was fabricated using the vacuum-assisted filtration technique by synergistically assembling SWCNTs and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles on a cellulose acetate membrane. Highly dispersed SWCNTs were obtained by carboxylating treatment of agglomerate SWCNTs. The controlled stacking of SWCNTs fibers and a controllable amount of TiO2 rendered a modified membrane with high porosity and hierarchical structure, leading to an ultrahigh water flux up to 4,777.07 L·m-2·h-1, and excellent separation performance with efficiency greater than 99.47%. Most importantly, the membrane exhibited excellent anti-fouling ability during ten cycles with the aid of the super-wetting property of TiO2 nanoparticles. The results indicated that coating TiO2 nanoparticles on SWCNTs modified the surface topography of the obtained SWCNT/TiO2 membrane, which improved hydrophilicity, permeability and anti-fouling property, manifesting attractive potential applications in oil/water separation.
