Superhydrophobic and Superoleophilic PVDF Membranes for Effective Separation of Water‐in‐Oil Emulsions with High Flux

Abstract: A superhydrophobic-superoleophilic PVDF membrane is fabricated via an inert solvent-induced phase inversion for effective separation of both micrometer and nanometer-sized surfactant-free and surfactant-stabilized water-in-oil emulsions solely driven by gravity, with high separation efficiency (oil purity in filtrate after separation > 99.95 wt%) and high flux, which is several times higher than those of commercial filtration membranes and reported materials with similar permeation properties.

“…The non-covalent interactions between GO (C 47 H 38 O 22 ) and asphaltene molecules (modified Yen model [24]) were performed with the ORCA-3.0.3 program package using the dispersion corrected BLYP-D3 functional together with the double-f Def2-SVP basis set. The geometries of GO, asphaltenes and GO-asphaltene interaction pair were optimized in vacuum.…”

“…For example, anchoring the MNPs (c-Fe 3 O 4 and c-Fe 2 O 3 ) on host materials would endow them with excellent magnetism for magnetic separation. This strategy has been successfully used to separate host materials from the complex mixtures, such as the biomaterials [20] including cell, bacteria, protein, DNA, wastewater [21] and emulsions [19,22].…”

“…Superfícies hidrofóbicas tem despertado a atenção de muitas pesquisas acadêmicas e também tecnológicas devido a algumas propriedades que estes revestimentos apresentam, destacando-se a auto-limpeza, anti-gelo (do inglês "anti-icing"), anti-aderente e anti-corrosão [1][2][3][4][5]. O desenvolvimento destas superfícies baseiam-se em duas estratégias: uma delas, é criar uma superfície rugosa e modificá-la com materiais que possuem baixa energia superficial; a outra, é usando metodologias capazes de aumentar a rugosidade do substrato o qual já apresenta características hidrofóbicas (CA>90°) [6][7][8]. Atualmente, superfícies hidrofóbicas têm sido desenvolvidas utilizando materiais de baixa energia superficial com estruturas que apresentam micro ou nano-rugosidade.…”

“…If one of the phases in oil-water mixture is dispersed in the other as small droplets (smaller than the pore size) the meshes become ineffective. Hydrophobic porous media has been developed for separation of oil-water emulsions with and without surfactants [41][42][43][44]. Table 1 summarizes the literature which discusses various types of oil-water filtering membranes.…”
