Abstract



Desalinization of seawater can be achieved by membrane distillation techniques (MD). In MD, the membranes should be resistant to fouling, robust for extended operating time, and preferably provide a superhydrophobic surface. In this work, we report the preparation and characterization of a robust and superhydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride membrane containing fluoroalkyl-capped CuONPs (CuONPs@CF) in the inner and fluorinated capped silicon oxide nanoparticles (SiO2NPs@CF) on its surface. SiO2NPs@CF with a mean diameter of 225 ± 20 nm were prepared by the sol method using 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane as a capping agent. Surface modification of the membrane was carried out by spraying SiO2NPs@CF (5% wt.) dispersed in a mixture of dimethyl formamide (DMF) and ethanol (EtOH) at different DMF/EtOH % v/v ratios (0, 5, 10, 20, and 50). While ethanol dispersed the nanoparticles in the spraying solution, DMF dissolved the PVDF on the surface and retained the sprayed nanoparticles. According to SEM micrographs and water contact angle measurements, the best results were achieved by depositing the nanoparticles at 10% v/v of DMF/EtOH. Under these conditions, a SiO2NPs covered surface was observed with a water contact angle of 168.5°. The water contact angle was retained after the sonication of the membrane, indicating that the modification was successfully achieved. The membrane with SiO2NPs@CF showed a flux of 14.3 kg(m2·h)−1, 3.4 times higher than the unmodified version. The method presented herein avoids the complicated modification procedure offered by chemical step modification and, due to its simplicity, could be scalable to a commercial membrane.
