Novel membranes and membrane structures using electrospinning

本项目旨在开发新型膜支撑材料和新型膜结构，以增强化学分离过程。这些材料可用于脱盐和水处理，减少水流阻力。反过来，这将减少为澳大利亚人生产新鲜饮用水所需的能源，以及成本。该方法还将应用于从烟道气流中捕获二氧化碳，提高这些过程的能源效率，使其在经济上可行。该项目有潜力发展本地化的制造业务，以生产这些材料，为澳大利亚制造的产品增值。

This project aims to develop novel membrane support materials and novel membrane structures to enhance chemical separation processes. These materials can be used in desalination and water treatment, reducing the resistance to water flows. In turn, this will reduce the energy required to produce fresh drinking water for Australians, as well as the cost. The approach will also be applied to carbon dioxide capture from flue gas streams, increasing the energy efficiency of these processes, so that they can become economically viable. The project has the potential to develop localised manufacturing operations to produce these materials, adding value to Australian manufactured products.
