The conditions of the preparation, such as concentrations of monomer solutions, reaction time and temperature, annealing treatment, etc., were investigated. The hollow fiber composite herewith obtained showed high performance with water fluxes over 40 L·m -2·hr -1 and MgSO4 rejection of 93% under a pressure of 0.40 MPa.展开更多

The size of particles in atmospheric aerosol was primarily distributed in the range of less than 1 pm. It showed different changes with the mass concentrations of particulate matters with an aerodynamic diameter of 〈2.5 pm （PM2.5） for different sizes of fine particles. The amount of ultrafine particles （less than about 60 nm） decreased while the larger ones （〉60 nm） increased along with the mass concentration of PM2.5 in atmospheric aerosol. This was be- cause of the formation of the secondary atmospheric aerosol. The polylactic acid （PLA） nanofibers were prepared for filtering the aerosol by electrospinning. PLA nanofiber mats were used as the middle layer to design the composite filter membranes. Atmospheric aerosol was used as dust source in the filtration test. The results showed that the filtration efficiency of the com- posite filter media increased along with the thickness of nanofiber mats, which was controlled by the collection time during electrospinning. Filtration efficiency can be improved obviously by compositing with a thin layer of nanofibers.展开更多

The desired air filter, seeking both high filtration efficiency and low pressure drop remains challenging. Here, we report a bio-inspired spindle-knot halloysite nanotube microsphere-incorporated nanofiber(HNM-NF) filter with the assembly and shape structures of the spider silk. The resulting HNM-NFs exhibit integrated properties of high surface energy, hydrophilicity and strong PM capture. The spindle-knot structures could shrink the outer pore size on two-dimensional(2 D) surface and construct the fluffy 3 D reticular architecture, facilitating high-efficiency air pollutant capture(>85.0%) while maintaining low resistance to airflow(~39 Pa). The spindle-knot construction method was applicable to various materials(i.e.,Al_(2)O_(3), ZnO and TiO_(2)) and volume production of the microsphere-incorporated NF cartridge. The diversified spindleknot construction will be valuable for adapting to meet different filtration requirements.展开更多
