Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a membrane pore size measuring instrument, in particular to a fully automatic ultrafiltration membrane pore size distribution measuring instrument and an automatic measuring method thereof. Background technique [0002] Ultrafiltration membrane is a type of sieve membrane with a pore size of 5-150 nanometers. It is mainly used for the separation of substances with different molecular weights. It is widely used in water treatment, biopharmaceutical, food and other industries. The separation performance of ultrafiltration membranes is mainly affected by pore characteristic parameters such as average pore size and pore size distribution. At present, the performance evaluation of ultrafiltration membranes is mainly through testing standards such as bovine serum albumin, ovalbumin, and polyethylene glycol with different molecular weight levels.

Problems solved by technology

The separation performance of ultrafiltration membranes is mainly affected by pore characteristic parameters such as average pore size and pore size distribution. At present, the performance evaluation of ultrafiltration membranes is mainly through testing standards such as bovine serum albumin, ovalbumin, and polyethylene glycol with different molecular weight levels. The cut-off molecular weight of particles is calibrated as a characterization method for the pore size of ultrafiltration membranes. The main problem of using this standard particle rejection method to characterize the performance of ultrafiltration membranes is that it is difficult to find a series of sizes, uniform particles, and membrane materials. There is no standard particle with chemical force, and there is a gap between the nominal rejection rate of the ultrafiltration membrane calibrated and the actual application rejection rate

[0003] Chinese utility model patent membrane pore size measuring instrument (application number 01273986.3, authorized announcement number CN2508242Y) discloses a membrane pore size measuring instrument based on the bubble point-flow rate method to measure the membrane pore size, including a gas supply bottle and a pressure balance tank connected in sequence , test pool and flowmeter have the advantages of simple structure and convenient use, but the membrane pore size analyzer can only measure the pore size of the order of microns, and cannot measure the pore size distribution of ultrafiltration membranes of the order of nanometers, and requires manual control of the measurement conditions. It is necessary to manually collect measurement data such as pressure and flow for the calculation of parameters such as average pore diameter, which has the disadvantages of large error and inconvenient operation.
