The invention provides a method for improving the
desalination stability of a porous
ceramic membrane by constructing a hydrophobic protective layer. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, carrying out hydrophobic modification on the surface of a porous
ceramic membrane by using a hydrophobic modifier, then spraying a pore-forming agent solution on the surface of the porous
ceramic membrane, and
drying to crystallize the porous
ceramic membrane into pore-forming agent particles; then, diluting PDMS with an
organic matter, and adding a certain proportion of hydrophobic
nano silicon dioxide particles; uniformly spraying a PDMS solution containing SiO2 onto the surface of the
ceramic membrane on which the pore-forming agent particles are fully distributed, and curing; and soaking the cured
ceramic membrane in water to dissolve the pore-forming agent particles, and
drying to obtain the porous ceramic membrane with a porous PDMS protective layer constructed on the surface. The obtained ceramic membrane has the advantages of being good in air permeability, high in hydrophobic stability, stable in
chemical property, low in cost, simple in method and the like, when the ceramic membrane is applied to
membrane distillation desalination, the
desalination rate is kept 100%, and continuous experimental operation can be conducted for 300 h or above.
