Membrane | Flux (60 °C) kg m−2 hr−1 | Flux (80 °C) kg m−2 hr−1 | Flux (100 °C)** kg m−2 hr−1 |
---|---|---|---|
Conventional GO films | 1.7–4.1* 9,27 | (film cracking) | (film cracking) |
VAGME (total area basis) | 1.9 ± 0.1 | 5.6 ± 0.2 | 13 ± 2 |
VAGME (active area basis) | 27 ± 1 | 79 ± 2 | (1.8 ± 0.3) × 102 |
Normalized flux (60 °C) kg m−2 hr−1 μm | Normalized flux (80 °C) kg m−2 hr−1 μm | Normalized flux (100 °C) kg m−2 hr−1 μm | |
VAGME (active area basis) | (5.4 ± 0.2) × 102 | (1.6 ± 0.1) × 103 | (3.5 ± 0.6) × 103 |
*The flux value from ref. 9 includes a calculated temperature correction based on vapor pressure driving force.
**The 100 °C data is time-dependent and the table entries are average fluxes over 12 h.
