Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microporous filter membranes, and in particular relates to a highly asymmetric polyethersulfone microfiltration membrane with a Y-shaped structure and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Polyethersulfone is one of the most widely used polymer membrane materials, with excellent processability, mechanical stability, physical and chemical stability, and thermal stability. The processed and prepared PES microfiltration membrane has become the preferred membrane material for separation of aqueous solution systems due to its good hydrophilicity, low protein adsorption, high separation efficiency, and application reliability. With the increasing demand and application scenarios for PES microfiltration membranes, the demand for asymmetric PES filter membranes with high dirt holding capacity has become more and more clear. Higher dirt holding capacity means that the filter membrane has a longer service life and can effectively reduce application costs.

[0003] There are two main types of asymmetric PES membranes at this stage, hourglass type and V-type, and their cross-sections both contain a macroporous layer and a small pore retention layer. The hourglass type asymmetric PES membrane is represented by 3M's Micro series membranes. Its patent CN101227965A describes its solution carrier high temperature induced molding process. The effective retention layer is located in the middle of the cross-section. It has high mechanical strength and separation rate, but the macroporous layer above the retention layer is relatively small. As the main area for pollutant absorption, it is relatively small, and the pollutant absorption capacity of this series of PES membranes is small. The V-type structure is a typical structure of a highly asymmetric PES membrane and has an ultra-high pollutant absorption capacity. Patent CN115038510A describes that Millipore has prepared a highly asymmetric membrane with a V-type structure in the form of a three-layer composite. The preparation equipment requirements are harsh and difficult to achieve. Its asymmetric structure is gradually changed from ultra-large pores to small pores, and a very thin macroporous structure is added to the outside of the small pore layer to protect the small pore retention layer. Patent CN117582820A describes the preparation of a PES asymmetric membrane by adding a photocuring agent, and the photoinduced expansion of the pore structure to obtain a highly asymmetric V-shaped structure, which is difficult to control in large-scale production. Patent CN117599616A discloses the preparation of a V-shaped PES membrane using the principle of reverse gelation, and its small pore retention layer is only 1 / 4 of the cross-sectional structure, and the thin effective retention layer makes its application stability retention face challenges.

[0004] In summary, at present, commercial asymmetric PES microfiltration membranes mainly have two structures: funnel-shaped and V-shaped, which have the disadvantages of low dirt holding capacity and poor stability according to their structural characteristics. However, asymmetric PES membranes are required to have high dirt holding capacity and stable and reliable interception capacity at the same time. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a highly asymmetric polyethersulfone microfiltration membrane with a Y-shaped structure and a preparation method thereof, which can effectively avoid the application disadvantages of funnel-shaped and V-shaped structures and have better pollution-receiving performance and interception stability and reliability.

[0011] S4 solidification: The induced coating enters a coagulation water bath with the carrier to undergo a phase separation process, solidifies into a film, and then is cleaned and dried to obtain a highly asymmetric polyethersulfone microfiltration membrane with a Y-shaped structure.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, in step S1, the first solvent is one of dimethylacetamide and dimethylformamide, the second solvent is one of N-methylpyrrolidone, 2-pyrrolidone, and dimethyl sulfoxide, the non-solvent additive is one of triethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, and the porogen is polyvinyl pyrrolidone.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution, the thickness ratio of the macroporous layer to the microporous layer of the Y-shaped highly asymmetric polyethersulfone microfiltration membrane is 1:1.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0021] The present invention obtains a PES microfiltration membrane with a Y-shaped cross-sectional structure based on specific solution composition requirements and a double induction process.

[0031] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0032] The control means for generating the Y-shaped structure of the present invention include specific composition requirements of the solution and dual induction process control:

[0033] The solution composition includes 10-18 parts of polyethersulfone, 5-20 parts of porogen, 20-40 parts of a first solvent, 10-30 parts of a second solvent and 15-30 parts of a non-solvent additive, wherein the total content of the second solvent and the non-solvent additive must be greater than the first solvent content, and the surface tension of the second solvent is at least 5 dyn / cm higher than that of the first solvent.

[0034] The double induction control requires that after the solution is coated on the carrier, the upper air side and the lower carrier side of the solution coating are induced at the same time. The upper air side of the solution coating uses temperature and humidity controllable steam induction, the steam temperature is 30-50℃, and the steam relative humidity is 60-90%; the lower carrier side of the solution coating uses carrier temperature induction control, and the carrier temperature is 10-20℃ higher than the solution temperature; the induction time is 5-60s.

[0035] Based on the above-mentioned specific solution composition requirements and dual induction process, when the solution coating is steam-induced, the water vapor combines with the non-solvent in the solution to induce pores on the coating surface, and as the amount of steam increases, the width and depth of the pores in the upper half of the coating increase. The lower half of the coating maintains a stable solution state under the control of the carrier temperature. After entering the coagulation bath water, a phase inversion solidification process occurs, and the macroporous structure formed by the steam-induced phase separation in the upper half of the layer is immediately formed. The solution in the lower half contains a high proportion of the second solvent and non-solvent. The higher surface tension prompts the two to preferentially exchange with water to undergo liquid-liquid phase separation, and the lower half of the layer solidifies to form a conventional symmetrical small pore structure. Therefore, the cross-sectional structure presents a Y-shaped structure with high asymmetry from top to bottom.

[0036] The calculation methods of pure water flux, bubble point and dirt holding capacity in the following examples and comparative examples are as follows:

[0037] Pure water flux bubble point: Tested in accordance with GB / T32361-2015 "Separation membrane pore size test method bubble point and average flow method".

[0038] Pollution tolerance: TSB challenge solution preparation: Use a measuring cylinder to measure 5L of ultrapure water, add 4L of it into a 10-liter plastic bucket, then weigh 150g of TSB and add it to 4L of water. Stir ultrasonically for 10 minutes to dissolve it, then add the dissolved TSB solution into the pressure vessel, rinse the plastic bucket with the reserved ultrapure water and stir for 5 minutes to mix it evenly.

[0039] The membrane to be tested was cut into membrane pieces with a diameter (d) of 47 mm, and after being moistened, they were loaded into a disc filter and filtered at a constant pressure of 1 bar to filter a volume V of tryptic soy broth (TSB).

[0040] The calculation method is as follows:
