Problems solved by technology

In the current published literature, after the hydrophobic / hydrophilic composite membrane is prepared, the thickness of the hydrophobic layer and the thickness of the corresponding hydrophilic layer are fixed. There are no reports at home and abroad that the thickness of the hydrophobic layer can be automatically adjusted during the operation of the membrane distillation process.

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method for a microporous membrane with structural self-regulating characteristics for membrane distillation. The microporous membrane is prepared by mixing a temperature-sensitive high-molecular material having hydrophilic/hydrophobic transition characteristics with temperature change and a high-molecular membrane material and adopting a phase separation method, and the obtained microporous membrane has a double-layer membrane structure composed of a hydrophobic layer and a hydrophilic layer, wherein thicknesses of the hydrophobic layer and the hydrophiliclayer can be automatically regulated according to operating temperature in the membrane distillation process. The microporous membrane for the membrane distillation disclosed by the invention has anautomatically-adjustable hydrophobic layer thickness adapted to the operating temperature, greatly reduces mass transfer resistance and improves a permeation flux of the membrane, and at the same time, the corresponding thickened hydrophilic layer can significantly reduce temperature difference polarization and heat transfer loss of the whole membrane, and effectively solve a contradiction betweenmass transfer and heat transfer in the membrane distillation process; and the microporous membrane improves the membrane distillation process characteristics and thermal efficiency, and especially facilitates direct contact type membrane distillation concentration separation by fully utilizing waste heat of a lower-temperature material liquid, and has good application prospects.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of polymer membrane separation, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a microporous membrane for membrane distillation with structure self-adjusting characteristics. Background technique [0002] Membrane distillation (MD) is a membrane process in which the volatile components in the mixed liquid are driven by the vapor pressure difference on both sides of the porous hydrophobic membrane to achieve mass transfer and separation. Liquid and low-temperature permeate are in direct contact, and steam passes through the membrane pores and condenses directly on the permeate side, which is the most studied membrane distillation process. [0003] The outstanding advantages of membrane distillation are: (1) cheap energy such as solar energy and industrial waste (waste) heat can be used, and the conventional distillation process can be realized without reaching the boiling point; (2) it can be operated un...
