Abstract: | Insufficient permeability and membrane fouling significantly influence the efficiency of ceramic microfiltration (MF) membranes in oil/water emulsion treatment. In this study, a high-flux whisker layer ceramic MF membrane with super-hydrophilicity was successfully fabricated through gel-spin coating method and a low-temperature oxidation method, which was used to separate oil/water emulsion. The effects of the whisker layer and surface wettability were systematically investigated, and the mechanism of in-situ gelling and pore size distribution was proposed. The super-hydrophilic ceramic MF membrane with an average pore size of 250 nm exhibited a high gas flux of 934 m3/(m2·h·bar) and excellent pure water flux of 9754 L/(m2 h bar). Even after a long-term circulating filtration process, the super-hydrophilic ceramic MF membrane still maintained a high water flux of over 50 L/(m2·h) at a transmembrane pressure of 5 KPa during the treatment of oil-in-water emulsion with a concentration of 1000 mg/L. Overall, the developed ceramic MF membrane demonstrated high permeability and excellent anti-fouling performance, making it a promising candidate for oil/water emulsion wastewater treatment. |
