This project aims to synthesise a new generation of engineered hierarchical membranes for novel brine processing. The key concept of the research is the precise tailoring of pores of inorganic films, forming functional meso-structures for separating salts from water. Salt crystallises perpendicular to the surface of the membrane, whilst easily removed by air, a process that can be repeated many times leading to high production rates. The hierarchical membranes will be studied to elucidate the relationships between structure, composition, surface properties and transport phenomena. The outcomes should advance brine processing separation technologies for the mineral industry (lithium, potassium, and magnesium).

本项目旨在合成用于新型卤水加工的新一代工程分层膜。这项研究的关键概念是精确地剪裁无机薄膜的孔，形成用于分离盐和水的功能介观结构。盐垂直于膜表面结晶，同时很容易被空气除去，这一过程可以重复多次，从而获得高生产率。我们将对分层膜进行研究，以阐明结构、组成、表面性质和传输现象之间的关系。这一成果将促进矿业(锂、钾和镁)卤水加工分离技术的发展。
