This SBIR Phase I research project will develop an innovative carbon nanotube water filtration membrane technology that will drastically outperform conventional filtration membranes. This project aims to improve performance by fabricating an ultra-high flux carbon nanotube filtration membrane through a solution-based material preparation technology. The goal of the carbon nanotube filtration membrane is to provide ultra-high flux output, yet at low energy consumption, which is currently unavailable. If the carbon nanotube water filtration membrane is successfully developed it will change the landscape for the water purification industry. The desired performance improvement would significantly surpass the evolutionary progress that has characterized the membrane industry over the past four decades. The adoption of this novel ultra-high flux carbon nanotube membrane would have profound impact on industries such as water purification, medical, chemical, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and environmental remediation.

该SBIR第一阶段研究项目将开发一种创新的碳纳米管水滤膜技术，其性能将大大优于传统的滤膜。本项目旨在通过基于溶液的材料制备技术来制备超高通量碳纳米管滤膜，以提高其性能。碳纳米管滤膜的目标是提供超高通量输出，但能耗低，这是目前无法获得的。如果碳纳米管水滤膜研制成功，将改变净水行业的面貌。期望的性能改进将大大超过过去40年来表征膜工业的进化进步。这种新型的超高通量碳纳米管膜的采用将对水净化、医疗、化工、制药、食品加工和环境修复等行业产生深远的影响。
