Alginate is a natural polysaccharide polymer. Hydrogel filtration membranes prepared from alginate show excellent fouling resistance and controllable separation performance, but poor mechanical properties limit the use of algae hydrogels. In this study, Ba²⁺/Ca²⁺ co-crosslinked alginate (Ba/CaAlg) hydrogel membrane was prepared by cross-linking sodium alginate with a blend aqueous solution of barium ions and calcium ions, and the membrane was applied to the separation of dyes/salts from dyeing wastewater. Compared with the CaAlg membrane, the Ba/CaAlg hydrogel membrane exhibited more stable structure, and the mechanical properties and salt tolerance of the membrane were significantly improved. The flux of Ba/CaAlg membrane for methyl blue/sodium chloride mixed solution reached 43.5 L m⁻² h⁻¹, which was significantly higher than that of CaAlg membrane. Besides, the Ba/CaAlg membrane showed higher dye rejection (>99.6%) and lower salt rejection (<8.2%). The structure of Ba/CaAlg membrane was preliminarily simulated by molecular dynamics, and the pore size and distribution of the membrane were calculated. The Ba/CaAlg membrane has a broad application prospect in dyes/salts separation.
