摘要
Interfacial solar evaporation shows great potential in clean water production, emulsions separation, and highsalinity brine treatment. However, it remains challenging for the evaporators to maintain a high evaporation rate in the high-salinity emulsions due to the co-pollution of salt and oil. Herein, we first proposed a hierarchic double-Janus solar evaporator (HDJE) with a hydrophobic salt-rejecting top layer and oil-rejecting bottom layer. Compared to the traditional one, HDJE could treat industrial high-salinity oil-in-water emulsions stably for over 70 h, with a stable average evaporation rate of 1.73 kg m- 2 h-1 and a high purification efficiency of up to 99.8 % for oil and ions. It was also verified that HDJE could be used for high-efficiency purification of oily concentrated seawater outdoor. An average water production rate of 3.59 kg m- 2 d-1 and a TOC removal ratio of over 98 % was obtained. In conclusion, this study provides a novel way to effectively dispose of high-salinity oily wastewater.
