dc.description.abstract | Electrospun nanofiber membranes (ENMs) have gained increasing interest in membrane distillation (MD) applications due to their high surface area, high hydrophobicity and porosity, and controllable pore size and membrane thickness. However, despite these advantages, ENMs still suffer from wetting issues in MD. Co-axial electrospinning is an attractive strategy for the one-step fabrication of non-woven membranes with core-sheath structures and improved wetting resistance for MD application. In the present study, we investigated poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropmpylene) (PH) as the core and PH/silica aerogel (SiA) as the sheath to obtain superhydmphobic co-axial composite ENMs. The surface characterization results indicated that the active layer (i.e., PH) of the co-axial ENMs was rough, highly porous (>80%), and superhydmphobic (contact angle >160 degrees). Further, the co-axial ENMs possessed small pore sizes (<0.39 mu m) and a suitable liquid entry pressure (>1.72 bar). Upon the application in long-term (one month) direct contact MD testing using a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution as the feed, high water vapor flux and salt rejection of 14.5 L/m(2)h and 99.99% were achieved, respectively, when applying the optimal 4 wt% SiA solution loading at the sheath. The ENMs fabricated using the versatile co-axial electrospinning showed great potential for long-term applications in direct contact MD desalination. | - |
