Low cost, eco-friendly, and easily scaled-up processes are needed to fabricate efficient oil/water separation materials, especially those useful in harsh environments such as highly acidic, alkaline, and salty environments, to deal with serious oil spills and industrial organic pollutants. Herein, a highly efficient oil/water separation mesh with durable chemical stability was fabricated by simply scratching and pricking a conventional polyethylene (PE) film. Multiscaled morphologies were obtained by this scratching and pricking process and provided the mesh with a special wettability performance termed superhydrophobicity, superoleophilicity, and low water adhesion, while the inert chemical properties of PE delivered chemical etching resistance to the fabricated mesh. In addition to a highly efficient oil/corrosive liquid separation, the fabricated PE mesh was also reusable and exhibited ultrafast oil/water separation solely by gravity. The easy operation, chemical durability, reusability, and efficiency of the novel PE mesh give it high potential for use in industrial and consumer applications.
需要低成本、环保且易于规模化的工艺来制造高效的油水分离材料,特别是那些在苛刻环境(如高酸性、碱性和高盐环境)中有用的材料,以应对严重的溢油和工业有机污染物。在此,通过简单地划伤和刺穿常规聚乙烯(PE)膜,制备了具有耐用化学稳定性的高效油水分离网。这种划伤和刺穿过程获得了多尺度形貌,并赋予该网特殊的润湿性,即超疏水性、超亲油性和低水附着力,而 PE 的惰性化学性质则赋予所制备的网抗化学蚀刻性。除了高效的油/腐蚀性液体分离外,所制备的 PE 网还可重复使用,并仅通过重力实现超快的油水分离。新型 PE 网操作简单、化学稳定性好、可重复使用且效率高,因此具有很高的工业和消费应用潜力。
