Abstract: |
|
The PVDF/FTNT hybrid ultrafiltration membranes were prepared by phase-inversion method with functionalized TiO2 nanotubes(FTNT) dispersed uniformly in the PVDF casting solution. The microstructure, separation performance and antifouling ability of such PVDF/FTNT hybrid membranes were investigated using SEM, contact angle, cross flow filtration, and antifouling measurements, and efficient cleaning methods for the fouled membrane were also observed in detail. The results indicate that the hybrid membranes exhibit differences in microstructure and properties due to a certain content of functionalized TiO2 nanotubes addition. At mass fraction 1% FTNT, the thickness of skin layer decreased while fine interfacial micropores increased, meanwhile the hybrid membrane had excellent water permeability, hydrophilicity, anticompaction and good antifouling ability with somewhat elevated retention for HA solution. In addition, chemical cleaning with 0.01mol/L NaOH and sunlight/water cleaning could effectively recover the permeance of membrane, and using the latter the flux recovery of hybrid membranes achieved above 90%. |
