Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of high molecular polymer materials, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a high-permeability twisted-structure-containing alloy hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane, and belongs to the field of membrane technology. BACKGROUND

[0002] Hollow fiber membranes are new membrane technology products formed by the cross of functional fiber materials and separation membrane technology, and are one of the new membrane technology products with the fastest development, the largest scale and the highest output value in the field of separation membranes. The hollow fiber membranes are widely used in the fields of petroleum chemical industry, medicine, biology, energy and the like, and are one of the common key technologies for solving the global water resource crisis, environmental pollution, human organ diseases and other major problems.

[0003] Compared with flat membranes, hollow fiber membranes have unique advantages such as simplified membrane module, high membrane area, self-supporting structure and easy handling. Among them, the hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane technology has been widely applied and developed in the field of water treatment. However, in the actual operation process, the ultrafiltration membrane will be blocked by pollution along with the limitation of water quality and other conditions. Therefore, the membrane needs to be cleaned, and the loss caused by frequent cleaning has become a major obstacle to the further popularization and application of ultrafiltration technology. At present, the membrane materials of the ultrafiltration membrane mainly include polysulfone (PS), polyether sulfone (PES), polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and the single-component ultrafiltration membrane has certain defects in the use process, such as low flux, low molecular retention rate and easy pollution.

[0004] From the perspective of molecular design, designing new special materials for ultrafiltration membranes is one of the important means to achieve high flux, high molecular retention rate and anti-pollution performance. Among them, polyarylether sulfone is an important high-performance engineering plastic. If specific functional unit segments such as twisted structures are introduced into the main chain structure of polyether sulfone, the flux of the ultrafiltration membrane can be improved. For example, constructing a self-microporous structure as the base material of the ultrafiltration membrane. It is reported that the self-microporous material is a material with a large number of micropores (pore size less than 2 nm) itself, and the microporosity comes from the rigid and twisted structure in its molecular chain segment. During the membrane forming process, the dense arrangement of the polymer chain is prevented due to the twisted structure of the main chain, thereby generating a large number of micropores (Progress in Polymer Science, 137 (2023), 101636). Currently, such materials have been studied and applied in gas separation and organic solvent separation, fully embodying the superiority of the membrane structure and its performance. Generally, the self-microporous material itself has strong hydrophobicity. In order to overcome the defects of hydrophobicity and easy pollution in practical application, the membrane material must be modified while maintaining the original advantages such as heat resistance, chemical stability and high mechanical strength.

[0005] Currently, the main methods for hydrophilic modification of ultrafiltration membrane materials are as follows: (1) chemical modification. The modification is achieved by copolymerization, grafting, plasma surface polymerization and interfacial polycondensation. Such chemical modification is valued for its long-term stability, although the film forming and hydrophilic modification and reaction conditions are often harsh and the cost is high. (2) Physical modification. The modification is achieved by blending modification of the base and surface coating modification. Surface coating modification is a common method in physical modification, which is simple and easy to operate, but there are still characteristics such as the hydrophilic layer being easy to peel off or even fall off from the bottom layer material, resulting in the difficulty of maintaining the hydrophilicity of the membrane material. The polymer blending method is relatively simple and has good operability, and is one of the most commonly used important methods (Journal of Membrane Science, 586 (2019), 53-83). SUMMARY

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a preparation method of a high-penetration twist-structure-containing alloy hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane.

[0019] 2) The hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane prepared in step 1) is immersed in deionized water at 10-30°C for 24-48 hours for setting, and rinsed with clean water to remove residual solvents and additives, forming a set ultrafiltration membrane;

[0020] 3) soaking the shaped ultrafiltration membrane prepared in step 2) in a post-treatment solution with a mass concentration of 0.1-20% at 25-85°C for 0.5-36 hours to perform a hydrophilic retention treatment, thereby obtaining a S-PAES / PVP alloy hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane with permanent hydrophilicity.

[0021] Further, in step (1), the molar ratio of the monomer (III) and the monomer (II) is m:100-m=80%-30%:20%-70%; preferably: 70%:30%.

After filtration through a stainless steel filter screen, vacuum or static defoaming, the blended polymer casting solution is prepared by placing and aging. The solvent used is N,N-dimethylacetamide DMAc, and the additive used is lithium nitrate; (3) Preparation of alloy hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane 1) The blended polymer casting solution prepared in step (2) is extruded through a spinneret by a metering pump, passes through an air gap of 1-20 cm, and is vertically immersed in a gel bath at 20-80℃ for phase separation and solidification. The hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane is formed by introducing it into a yarn tank through a winding wheel at a winding speed of 5-20 m / min, wherein the core liquid is pure water or an aqueous solution containing 5-50% organic solvent by mass concentration. 2) The hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane prepared in step 1) is immersed in deionized water at 10-30℃ for 24-48 hours for setting, and is rinsed with clean water to remove residual solvents and additives, thereby forming a set ultrafiltration membrane. 3) The set ultrafiltration membrane prepared in step 2) is immersed in a post-treatment solution with a mass concentration of 0.1-20% at 25-85℃ for 0.5-36 hours for hydrophilic retention treatment, thereby obtaining a S-PAES / PVP alloy hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane with permanent hydrophilicity. The post-treatment solution is sodium persulfate solution, and the post-treatment reagent has a mass concentration of 0.1-20%. The post-treatment temperature ranges from 20 to 95℃, and the post-treatment time is 0.5-48 hours.
