AI Article Synopsis
- A new type of membrane called TAM-DNDC 3D-COFM is created using a special material with hydroxyl groups that makes it very effective at separating oil from water.
- This membrane has significantly improved oil-wettability and anti-fouling abilities, showing up to 10,000 times better performance than similar existing membranes.
- Its impressive continuous demulsification efficiency (76,400 liters per meter) suggests that it could potentially be used for large-scale oil-water separation processes.
Article Abstract
A superoleophilic free-standing three-dimensional covalent organic framework membrane (TAM-DNDC 3D-COFM) with hydroxyl functionalized naphthalene is fabricated interfacially. The enhanced oil-wettability and anti-fouling properties of the 3D-COFM exhibited gravity-based efficient demulsification flux at a four-order magnitude compared to the phenyl cored-congener. The continuous demulsification efficiency (76 400 L m) will inspire large-scale applications.
