Abstract

Abstract:

Industrial flue gas usually contains a large number of oily aerosols, which may lead to serious plug for the traditional oleophilic filters. When facing the complex flue gas system with high humidity and oily aerosol, the amphiphobic membrane material has the advantages of high separation efficiency, strong pollution resistance and easy cleanin. This paper systematically summarizes the preparation methods of air purification amphiphobic membrane. The formation and control mechanisms of foulants on the surface of the membrane are elaborated through analyzing the microscope interaction between the oily aerosols and the membrane surfaces. Finally, the development prospect of amphiphobic membranes in air purification field is analyzed and discussed.

Key words: air purification, amphiphobic, membrane, filtration, nanofiber, aerosol
