To prepare high-flux sponge-like polyethersulfone (PES) flat membrane,the cloud point titration method is used to determine the cloud point phase diagram of polyethersulfone/N,N-dimethylacetamide/diethylene glycol (PES/DMAc/DEG) ternary system.The structure of PES flat membrane is regulated through varying the proximity ratio (α) of the casting solution and the membrane thickness.Study findings show that as α increases,the surface of PES flat membrane transitions from dense to porous structure,and the membrane cross-section changes from finger-like pore structure to sponge-like structure,resulting in gradually increasing in pure water flux of the membrane.As the membrane thickness increases,the cross-section structure of PES flat membrane initially maintains the sponge-like structure,but later transforms into a finger-like pore structure.
