Abstract:

In this study, a novel hydrophobic, microporous membrane was fabricated from styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) polymer using electrospinning and evaluated for membrane distillation applications. Compared to a commercially available polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane, the SBS membrane had larger membrane pore size and fiber diameter and comparable membrane porosity. The fabricated SBS showed slightly lower water flux than the PTFE membrane because it was two times thicker. However, the SBS membrane had better salt rejection and most importantly could be fabricated via a simple process. The SBS membrane was also more hydrophobic than the reference PTFE membrane. In particular, as temperature of the reference water liquid increased to 60 °C, the SBS membrane remained hydrophobic with a contact angle of 100° whereas the PTFE became hydrophilic with a contact angle of less than 90°. The hydrophobic membrane surface prevented the intrusion of liquid into the membrane pores, thus improving the salt rejection of the SBS membrane. In addition, the SBS membrane had superior mechanical strength over the PTFE membrane. Using the SBS membrane, stable water flux was achieved throughout an extended MD operation period of 120 h to produce excellent quality distillate (over 99.7% salt rejection) from seawater

The error bars represent the standard deviation of five measurements.

The error bars represent the standard deviation of five measurements.

Operating conditions: feed temperature of 60 °C, distillate temperature of 20 °C, feed and distillate circulation rates of 0.5 L/min (i.e. cross flow velocities of 0.06 m/s). The salinity of the seawater feed was maintained constant by returning the distillate back to the feed tank throughout the experiments.

Conclusions:

A novel hydrophobic, microporous membrane based on styrenebutadiene-styrene (SBS) polymer was prepared using the electrospinning method. The SBS membrane was systematically evaluated in comparison to a commercial polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane. The SBS membrane had larger membrane pore sizes and fiber diameters but comparable membrane porosity compared to the PTFE one. The fabricated SBS membrane was two times thicker, and thus had a lower water flux than the PTFE membrane. Nevertheless, the SBS membrane showed better salt rejection, higher surface hydrophobicity and superior mechanical strength over the reference PTFE membrane. The high membrane surface hydrophobicity prevented the intrusion of liquid into the membrane pores, thus improving the salt rejection of the SBS membrane. The SBS membrane showed stable water flux and excellent salt rejection (i.e. > 99.97%) throughout a long term MD operation using seawater as the feed. The results from this study reveal great potential of SBS as a promising alternative to conventional MD membrane materials for desalination applications.
