چکیده انگلیسی
This work shows the preparation, characterisation and testing of TiO2 membranes dip-coated on commercial α-Al2O3 tubes for desalination. TiO2 thin films (â¼400 nm) were synthesised from titanium propoxide and exposed to a gentle thermal treatment to control particle and pore sizes (dp â¼Â 4 nm). The TiO2 membranes were tested for brackish (0.3 wt%), sea water (3.5 wt%) and brine concentrations (7.5 and 10 wt%) up to 75 °C in a pervaporation setup. Water fluxes as high as 10.5 kg mâ2 hâ1 were achieved for brackish concentrations, whilst values of up to 4.0 and 6.0 kg mâ2 hâ1 were measured for the highest brine concentration (10 wt%). Concentration and temperature polarisation both affected the water fluxes, particularly for brine solutions, though the latter was more dominant. Salt rejection remained very high at â¼99% for all tested conditions, thus demonstrating the feasibility of mesoporous inorganic TiO2 structures for desalination and brine processing. The TiO2 membranes proved to be stable for long term (>350 h) testing even under thermal cycling conditions.
