Abstract:
Pervaporation is a promising desalination technology. Developing high-performance and stable pervaporation membranes with high continuity structure remains a significant challenge. This study reports the development of a novel layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheet composite membrane fabricated using a hydroxyl salt induction method. This approach facilitated the in-situ nucleation and growth of the CoAl-LDH nanosheets on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) substrate, reducing precursor concentration and enhancing preparation efficiency. The resulting cross-compatible architecture closely integrated the dense LDH nanosheet separation layer with the flexible PVDF support. The microstructure and morphology of the hydroxyl salt layer and its transformed CoAl-LDH composite membrane were comprehensively investigated. The optimized membrane was applied for pervaporation desalination (3 wt% NaCl, 50 degrees C), achieving a high flux of 38.4 kgm(-2)h(-1) and exceptional NaCl rejection of 99.9 %. It also demonstrated excellent tolerance to a wide salinity range, maintaining 99.6-99.9 % rejection even at 20 wt% NaCl, while the flux remained stable at 26.7 kgm(-2)h(-1). Long-term testing confirmed the consistent separation performance and operational stability, underscoring the great potential of this advanced membrane material for practical pervaporation desalination applications.
