Benefits of technology

[0022]1.本发明创造性地采用了特定粘合剂PVA并通过涂覆-热固法将成膜聚合物迅速固着在表面光滑的不锈钢网上,增强了膜层与不锈钢网之间的结合力,提高了分离膜材料服役的稳定性和延长了服役寿命。采用PVA作为粘合剂主要涉及配制铸膜液及成孔两个因素,一方面不锈钢网非常光滑,仅凭FEP溶液难以粘附于表面光滑的不锈钢网上,采用PVA作为粘合剂,在能够较好地分散FEP的同时,增加了溶液整体的粘度,使得FEP能较好地附着于不锈钢网上;另一方面,PVA的分解温度低于FEP的分解温度,即PVA能够在FEP处于熔融状态时进行分解,其分解的挥发性物质得以在熔融FEP表面逸出,形成表面孔。

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of membrane materials, specifically relating to a small-pore reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene propylene separation membrane and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the accelerated development of modern industry, and to meet the needs of national economic growth and people's production and daily life, the discharge of industrial oily wastewater continues to rise. It is estimated that by 2024, the scale of my country's waste oil industry will gradually reach approximately 15 billion tons. Meanwhile, with the continuous increase in global resource consumption, waste oil recycling is of great significance for energy conservation and emission reduction. Compared with traditional waste oil regeneration technologies, membrane separation technology has become the best choice for waste oil treatment due to its advantages such as less pollution, higher waste oil treatment efficiency, ease of operation, and smaller footprint. Among them, separation membranes are widely used in industrial waste oil recycling and treatment because of their high flux, ease of maintenance and cleaning, and scalability.

[0003] When treating oily wastewater, because waste oil usually contains a large amount of oily and hydrophobic substances, oleophilic membranes have excellent selectivity and higher oleophilicity, enabling them to efficiently adsorb and separate waste oil. On the other hand, protecting the quality of the oil is a key point in the waste oil regeneration process. Hydrophilic membranes may interact with components in the water, which may damage the quality of the waste oil. Industrial production needs to select appropriate film-forming materials and treatment methods based on the specific composition of the waste oil, process requirements, and treatment objectives. Although hydrophilic membranes have a wide range of applications in other industrial production, oleophilic membranes are generally used in industrial treatment to better meet the properties and treatment requirements of industrial waste oil. Enhanced separation membranes are widely used in actual industry.

[0004] Substrate materials used for separation membranes are generally divided into organic and inorganic materials. Organic materials suffer from poor mechanical strength and are prone to deformation and damage during long-term operation, resulting in a shorter service life. Chinese invention patent publication number CN107243260A discloses a superhydrophobic polypropylene modified ultrafiltration membrane, its preparation method, and its application. Although the process for preparing the oil-water separation membrane is simple and does not involve toxic reagents, the membrane's poor mechanical properties make it unsuitable for long-term, low-frequency operation. Compared to organic materials, inorganic materials, such as stainless steel metal substrates, are common materials with excellent physical properties, including corrosion resistance and temperature resistance. They also have the advantages of thin walls and easy backwashing. Metal substrates, as ultrathin support layers, are suitable for long-term stable operation. At the same time, the preparation cost of stainless steel materials is relatively economical, which is particularly important in large-scale industrial applications.

[0005] Conventional membrane materials are limited in their application in waste oil recycling due to factors such as high oil viscosity, susceptibility to contamination, and low temperature and pressure resistance. Fluoropolymers, with their strong CF bonds, exhibit superior thermal and chemical stability, are less prone to adhesion to liquids and other substances, and possess good self-cleaning capabilities. Perfluoroethylene propylene (PFEP) combines excellent temperature and chemical resistance with good melt processing properties, along with hydrophobic and oleophilic characteristics. These superior properties make this invention suitable for waste oil treatment scenarios requiring the handling of high-temperature liquids or gases, making it an ideal membrane material for waste oil processing. However, no methods for preparing small-pore reinforced PFEP separation membranes via thermosetting molding and sintering have been reported. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In response to the problem of industrial waste oil recycling and treatment, one objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a small-pore reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene propylene (PTFE) separation membrane that is pressure-resistant, wear-resistant, thin-walled, simple to prepare, uses inexpensive and readily available materials, and is easy to mass-produce.

[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a small-pore reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene propylene separation membrane prepared by the above method.

[0008] Therefore, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A method for preparing a small-pore reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene propylene (PTFE) separation membrane includes the following steps:

[0010] S1, Pre-treatment of stainless steel mesh to remove surface stains and dry it;

[0011] S2, Preparation of casting solution: Stir a 70wt% aqueous solution of perfluoroethylene propylene and a 60-70wt% aqueous solution of polyvinyl alcohol in deionized water at 60-90℃ to obtain a casting solution; then vacuum degas the prepared casting solution for 3 hours and then ultrasonically treat it for 30 minutes.

[0012] S3, Preparation of small-pore reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene propylene separation membrane: The casting solution obtained in step S2 is uniformly coated onto the upper surface of the stainless steel mesh treated in step S1, and then spread in a vacuum hot air box at 60-90℃ for 1-3 minutes. The mesh is then placed vertically in the vacuum hot air box to dry and thermoset. After the moisture has completely evaporated, the membrane is removed to obtain the nascent reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene propylene separation membrane.

[0013] S4, Preparation of small-pore reinforced poly(perfluoroethylene propylene) separation membrane: The nascent reinforced poly(perfluoroethylene propylene) separation membrane is placed in a muffle furnace, heated in a gradient to 270-330℃, and sintered for 5-15 minutes to obtain a small-pore reinforced poly(perfluoroethylene propylene) separation membrane.

[0014] Preferably, the stainless steel mesh in step S1 has a mesh count of 1000-2000.

[0015] The pretreatment method in step S1 is as follows: the stainless steel mesh is ultrasonically cleaned for 30 minutes each in an acetone-anhydrous ethanol solution and in deionized water; the drying method is as follows: the cleaned stainless steel mesh is dried in a 50°C vacuum hot air oven for 3-6 minutes. Preferably, the volume percentage concentration of ethanol in the acetone-anhydrous ethanol mixed solution is 50-80%.

[0016] Preferably, in the casting solution described in step S2, the concentration of perfluoroethylene propylene is 10-30 wt%, and the concentration of polyvinyl alcohol is 5-8 wt%. The stirring is performed by magnetic stirring at a speed of 120-240 r / min for 3 hours.

[0017] In step S3, the directional spreading angle is 0-75° with the horizontal direction.

[0018] Preferably, the gradient temperature increase in step S4 is 5-10℃ / min.

[0019] A small-pore reinforced poly(perfluoroethylene propylene) separation membrane prepared by the above-described method comprises an outer poly(perfluoroethylene propylene) separation membrane layer and an inner stainless steel mesh reinforcement. The thickness of the poly(perfluoroethylene propylene) separation membrane layer is 100-200 μm, and the thickness of the stainless steel mesh reinforcement is 0.2-0.5 mm. The kerosene flux of the small-pore reinforced poly(perfluoroethylene propylene) separation membrane is 75-1325 L·m³. -2 ·h -1 The bar has a pore size range of 10-400nm and a contact angle of 95-120°; after 10-30 tape peels, the water contact angle is 93-118°.

[0020] This invention uses stainless steel mesh as the substrate material and perfluoroethylene propylene, which is resistant to temperature and chemical reagents, as the film-forming material to develop an enhanced separation membrane for treating complex waste oil.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. This invention creatively employs a specific adhesive, PVA, and uses a coating-thermosetting method to rapidly fix the film-forming polymer onto a smooth stainless steel mesh, enhancing the adhesion between the membrane layer and the stainless steel mesh, improving the stability of the separation membrane material during service, and extending its service life. The use of PVA as an adhesive mainly involves two factors: the preparation of the casting solution and pore formation. On the one hand, the stainless steel mesh is very smooth, and FEP solution alone is difficult to adhere to its smooth surface. Using PVA as an adhesive not only effectively disperses FEP but also increases the overall viscosity of the solution, allowing FEP to adhere better to the stainless steel mesh. On the other hand, the decomposition temperature of PVA is lower than that of FEP, meaning that PVA can decompose while FEP is in a molten state, and its decomposed volatile substances can escape onto the surface of the molten FEP, forming surface pores.

[0023] 2. The separation membrane prepared by the method of the present invention has a thin wall (0.3-0.7 mm) and a high flux (kerosene flux is 75-1325 L·m). -2 ·h -1 bar);

[0024] 3. The separation membrane prepared by the method of the present invention has the characteristics of self-cleaning, high temperature resistance, chemical reagent resistance, and excellent wear resistance;

[0025] 4. The separation membrane prepared by the method of the present invention is easy to clean and can be reused;

[0026] 5. The raw materials selected by the method of the present invention are cheap and readily available, and the preparation process is simple. It is a low-energy-consumption, green and environmentally friendly film-making method, which is conducive to large-scale industrial production. Attached Figure Description
