The invention discloses an MXene / ZIF-8
composite membrane for preparing a monodisperse water-in-diesel nano-
emulsion and a preparation method of the MXene / ZIF-8
composite membrane, and belongs to the technical field of
membrane emulsification. Aiming at the problems of uncontrollable
emulsion droplet size, poor stability, easy
instability during
combustion and the like caused by strong hydrophilicity and wide pore size distribution of a traditional
ceramic membrane, a
ceramic tube is used as a support body, and a
composite membrane with a regular two-dimensional heterogeneous channel is constructed by alternately loading TiCTxMXene nanosheets and ZIF-8 nanosheets. The ZIF-8
nanosheet is used as a nano spacer to be inserted between MXene
layers, so that self-stacking is effectively inhibited, the interlayer distance is regulated and controlled, meanwhile, the surface of the membrane is endowed with the under-oil super-hydrophobic characteristic, and a unique'slippage-rolling 'droplet separation mechanism is formed. The
composite film can be used for directly preparing the monodisperse water-in-diesel nano-
emulsion with the average particle size of less than 100nm and the PDI of less than 0.13 at
room temperature.
Combustion performance contrast experiments show that the obtained nano-emulsion can still maintain stable
combustion under the
high water content of 20%, the
flame stability is remarkably superior to that of a traditional submicron emulsion,
NOx and CO emission is greatly reduced, and a new technical path is provided for clean and efficient utilization of high-water-content emulsion fuel.
