Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of membrane separation, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a heterogeneous fiber-reinforced PPTA hollow fiber membrane. BACKGROUND

[0002] Poly-p-phenyleneterephthalamide (PPTA) is a typical aromatic polyamide. A separation membrane material made of PPTA has the characteristics of high hydrophilicity, high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, solvent resistance, and anti-pollution, and can be widely applied to the separation and purification of wastewater in the fields of chemical industry, medicine, biology, food, and the like. However, the decomposition temperature of PPTA is lower than the melting point, and PPTA cannot be melt-spun into a shape. PPTA is only soluble in concentrated sulfuric acid and the like, and is difficult to be dissolved in most conventional organic solvents, which requires high processing equipment and process control. With the rapid development of the global market of high-performance para-aramid in recent years and the significant increase in market demand, a new round of technical development breakthroughs of membrane products such as separation membranes and battery separators of para-aramid downstream products are accelerating.

[0003] Fiber-reinforced hollow fiber membranes are the most widely used membrane form in the field of water treatment at present, and mainly include fiber filament-reinforced hollow fiber membranes and braided tube-reinforced hollow fiber membranes. The fiber filament-reinforced hollow fiber membrane is extruded by simultaneously extruding a filament fiber bundle and a film-forming polymer solution through the special design of a hollow fiber spinning assembly, and the filament fiber bundle is fixed inside the wall of the homogeneous hollow fiber membrane in the process of forming the homogeneous hollow fiber membrane. The document with the application number 202110406572.X discloses a preparation method of a fiber-reinforced aromatic polyamide hollow fiber membrane, which can effectively improve the tensile breaking strength of the homogeneous hollow fiber membrane and is not limited by specific use of internal pressure or external pressure. However, the film-forming process of the method has high difficulty, needs to accurately control the uniform dispersion and embedding of the filament fibers into the membrane wall, has great control difficulty, and has low production efficiency.

[0004] The fiber braided tube-reinforced hollow fiber membrane is based on the chemical fiber skin / core composite spinning technology, uniformly coats the film-forming polymer solution on the outer surface of a pre-braided hollow braided tube, and makes the film-forming polymer and the hollow braided tube become an integral whole through the non-solvent induced phase inversion method. However, in the prior art, the obtained homogeneous reinforced PPTA hollow fiber membrane has a relatively thick outer diameter (>2 mm), has low packing density of the membrane module, and has poor permeation efficiency. At the same time, the surface separation layer of PPTA has low solid content concentration, and the phenomenon of easy falling off of the surface separation layer still exists in the actual application process. More importantly, the production cost of the homogeneous reinforced PPTA hollow fiber membrane is high, and the application field is greatly limited. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a preparation method of a heterogeneous fiber-reinforced PPTA hollow fiber membrane.

[0006] The technical scheme for solving the technical problem of the present application is to provide a preparation method of a heterogeneous fiber-reinforced PPTA hollow fiber membrane, characterized in that the method comprises the following steps:

[0007] (1) preparing a reinforcing body: preparing a hollow tubular object from a fiber filament;

[0008] (2) preparing sulfuric acid particles: cooling liquid sulfuric acid with a concentration of 98% to 100% to 0 to 10 DEG C, and bubbling a gas into the liquid sulfuric acid, stirring and foaming; then rapidly cooling to below 0 DEG C to freeze and solidify, forming foamed solid sulfuric acid, and crushing the foamed solid sulfuric acid to obtain sulfuric acid particles;

[0009] (3) preparing a high-concentration PPTA casting solution: mixing PPTA resin, a pore-forming agent, nano inorganic particles and the sulfuric acid particles in a solid state; then dissolving and mixing uniformly under stirring at 1500 rpm at a temperature of 70 to 90 DEG C under negative pressure to form a uniform solution, and degassing to obtain a high-concentration PPTA casting solution;

[0010] (4) preparing a heterogeneous fiber-reinforced PPTA hollow fiber membrane: using a co-extrusion composite spinning process, uniformly coating the high-concentration PPTA casting solution on the surface of the PPTA hollow tubular object, and solidifying and shaping to obtain a heterogeneous fiber-reinforced PPTA hollow fiber membrane.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:

[0012] (1) The present application first prepares a hollow tubular object reinforcing body, then prepares solid sulfuric acid particles, and uses PPTA resin, a pore-forming agent, nano inorganic particles and the sulfuric acid particles as raw materials to prepare a high-concentration PPTA casting solution, and then uniformly coats the high-concentration PPTA casting solution on the surface of the PPTA hollow tubular object through a co-extrusion composite spinning process, and solidifies and shapes to obtain a heterogeneous fiber-reinforced PPTA hollow fiber membrane which has excellent performance and low price (low cost, high permeation flux, high separation precision and high interfacial bonding strength).

[0013] (2) The present application can prepare a high-concentration PPTA surface separation layer casting solution. The use of the solvent-free sulfuric acid particle technology changes the casting solution system from a traditional solid-liquid mixing system to a solid-solid mixing system, greatly increases the contact area of sulfuric acid and PPTA resin powder, avoids the caking phenomenon in the PPTA dissolution process, reduces the degradation of the resin, and thus improves the mixing uniformity of the casting solution, effectively shortens the dissolution time and improves the dissolution rate, realizes the preparation of a homogeneous high-concentration PPTA casting solution, and improves the interfacial bonding strength of the heterogeneous reinforced PPTA hollow fiber membrane.

[0014] (3) The application maintains the characteristics of PPTA separation membrane, such as small pore size and narrow distribution (<20 nm), high temperature resistance (>60℃), super hydrophilicity (contact angle <60°), and the like, while the preparation process is simple, the use cost is low, the control factors are mild, easy to control, and the production efficiency is high, and can be widely applied to complex sewage treatment, such as printing and dyeing wastewater, extraction of viruses and bacteria in water, waste liquid purification in electronic industry, purification and concentration of traditional Chinese medicine liquid.

[0015] (4) The use cost of the reinforced PPTA hollow fiber membrane is reduced by selecting the fiber filaments with large market demand and low cost. At the same time, the hollow fiber has good self-supporting property and high packing density, which can improve the permeation flux of the nanofiltration membrane.

[0016] (5) Compared with the PPTA hollow braided tube with thick outer diameter and poor self-supporting property due to the limitation of fiber fineness, the heterogeneous hollow braided tube with high self-supporting degree and small outer diameter size is prepared by selecting low fine denier fiber filaments and designing different reinforcing structure, which can effectively increase the membrane area.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] (1) Preparation of a reinforcing body: a 200D PET filament is woven into a two-dimensional woven structure PET hollow woven tube by using a two-dimensional weaving technique, and the outer diameter is 1.8 mm;

[0045] (2) Preparation of sulfuric acid particles: liquid sulfuric acid with a concentration of 98% is cooled to 8°C, and nitrogen gas at 1.0 MPa is filled into the liquid sulfuric acid under stirring to form foam; then the temperature is rapidly lowered to below 0°C to freeze and solidify, and the foamed solid sulfuric acid is crushed to obtain sulfuric acid particles;

[0046] (3) Preparation of high-concentration PPTA casting solution: 5.0 wt.% PPTA resin (intrinsic viscosity of 5.0 dL / g), 0.1 wt.% nano-SiO2, 5.0 wt.% pore-forming agent PEG (weight average molecular weight of 2000), and sulfuric acid particles are mixed at 5°C by using a planetary high-speed mixer; then the temperature is raised to 80°C under-0.1 MPa, and the mixture is stirred and dissolved at 2500 rpm for 1 h to form a uniform solution, and the high-concentration PPTA casting solution is obtained after degassing;

[0050] As can be seen from Figure 2 , the casting solution of the surface separation layer can penetrate through the diamond-shaped braided nodes and the gaps between the fibers of the two-dimensional braided structure. Due to the tight braided structure and small pore size, only the surface of the fiber reinforcing body is etched by the concentrated sulfuric acid, and the casting solution does not penetrate into the reinforcing body, thereby realizing the tight compounding of the surface separation layer and the fiber braided tube.

[0101]

[0102]

[0103] From the preparation parameters shown in the examples and comparative examples and the data in Table 1, it can be seen that: (1) as the PPTA solid content increases and the specific concentration logarithmic viscosity of PPTA increases, and the solvent content in the coagulation bath increases, the porosity of the obtained membrane decreases, the density of the separation layer on the surface of the membrane increases, the pure water flux of the obtained heterogeneous fiber-reinforced PPTA hollow fiber membrane significantly decreases, and the interfacial bonding strength increases; (2) the faster the winding rate, the thinner the wall thickness of the separation layer on the surface of the obtained membrane; the higher the content of the pore-forming agent, the higher the porosity of the obtained membrane, the pure water flux of the obtained heterogeneous fiber-reinforced PPTA hollow fiber membrane significantly increases, and the interfacial bonding strength decreases; (3) compared with the two-dimensional woven structure, the knitted structure has a large pore size and high porosity, which is beneficial to the penetration of the surface separation layer into the fiber reinforcement, and the interfacial bonding strength is improved; (4) from Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that the solid-solid dissolution process of PPTA resin-solid sulfuric acid particles can obtain a high-concentration PPTA casting solution, and at the same time, high-pressure gas is beneficial to obtain sulfuric acid particles with appropriate particle size, thereby improving the mixing uniformity of the casting solution, effectively shortening the dissolution time, and improving the interfacial bonding strength of the heterogeneous fiber-reinforced PPTA hollow fiber membrane. In summary, by comprehensively regulating the woven structure of the fiber hollow woven tube, the PPTA dissolution method, and the corrosion time of the surface separation layer and the surface of the hollow woven tube, the optimal state of permeation efficiency and two-phase interfacial bonding can be achieved.
