This invention discloses a
scaffold composite membrane constructed from electrospun
polysulfone on a liquid
polyvinylidene fluoride substrate, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of
membrane distillation technology. The
composite membrane comprises a CAU-10-NH₂-doped PVDF substrate and a CAU-10-NH₂-doped PSF
fiber scaffold layer constructed in situ on its surface using a handheld
electrospinning gun before
solvent-induced
phase inversion. This method avoids the interlayer
delamination problem of traditional multilayer membranes, utilizes PSF fibers to provide mechanical support and form a high-roughness surface, and combines the hydrophilicity and antifouling properties of CAU-10-NH₂ to significantly improve water flux, antifouling properties, and long-term stability. In simulated
seawater desalination tests (3.5 wt% NaCl, 70 ℃), the
membrane flux reached 42.8 L·m⁻²·h⁻¹, with a
rejection rate of 99.2%. In the anti-
wetting test (with SDBS surfactant), the flux remained stable at 32 L·m⁻²·h⁻¹ for 900 min, with a
rejection rate of 99%. In the antifouling test: with
humic acid (HA) as the
pollutant, the flux
reduction rate of the pure PVDF membrane was 75.76%, while that of the
composite membrane of this invention was only 24.23%, with a flux
recovery rate of 92.97% (pure PVDF membrane 67.69%); with
sodium alginate (SA) as the
pollutant, the flux
reduction rate of the pure PVDF membrane was 85.70%, while that of this invention was only 30.38%, with a flux
recovery rate of 89.98% (pure PVDF membrane 52.81%). The preparation process of this invention is simple, the structure is controllable, and the performance is excellent, showing good application prospects.
