Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of hollow fiber ultrafiltration membranes, and in particular to a hydrophilically modified polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane refers to a membrane technology used to separate, filter and concentrate liquids. Its working principle is to separate different components in the solution through tiny pores on the membrane. When pressure is applied to the membrane, the solutes in the solution (such as macromolecules, suspended matter or bacteria) will be retained by the pores on the membrane, while water molecules can pass through these pores to achieve separation and concentration.

[0003] Polyethersulfone can be used as a hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane material with excellent performance due to its high temperature tolerance, good chemical stability and good mechanical strength. It has been promoted and applied in many application scenarios such as electronics, medicine, electrophoretic paint, beverages, food chemicals, medical treatment, wastewater treatment and recycling. Although polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane has many advantages, it has a strong surface hydrophobicity, which makes charged pollutants easily adsorbed on the membrane surface and thus forms membrane pollution, which reduces membrane performance and shortens service life. Therefore, the development of a highly hydrophilic, high-throughput, and pollution-resistant polyethersulfone hollow fiber membrane has become an important research direction recently.

[0004] The prior art hydrophilically modifies the polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane by chemically or physically modifying the polyethersulfone surface, or by introducing hydrophilic additives into the polyethersulfone material. Specifically, the methods include: 1. grafting hydrophilic functional groups on the membrane surface to chemically modify the membrane surface; 2. blending polyethersulfone with a hydrophilic polymer to form a stable blending system to achieve physical bulk modification. However, most of the solutions have the disadvantages of complicated manufacturing process, high material cost and high process flow requirements, which makes it difficult to carry out large-scale industrial mass production of these solutions, thus still limiting the application of polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membranes. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a hydrophilically modified polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane and a preparation method thereof, which has the advantages of simple formula materials, low production cost and simple process operation, is easy to be industrially mass-produced and promoted, and can be widely used in many fields such as household water purification, seawater desalination and industrial wastewater treatment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present technical solution provides a method for preparing a hydrophilically modified polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane, comprising the following steps: S1: preparing a film casting liquid: mixing and dissolving a polyethersulfone polymer, a non-solvent, a film casting solvent and a film casting aid to obtain a film casting liquid; S2: preparing the core liquid: mixing and dissolving the core liquid solvent and the core liquid non-solvent to obtain the core liquid; S3: preparing a polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane: injecting a casting liquid and a core liquid into the same spinneret to extrude a hollow tubular liquid membrane, and curing, cleaning and drying the hollow tubular liquid membrane to obtain a polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane; S4: preparing a sultone stock solution: mixing sultone and aluminum chloride or tin chloride in a set ratio to obtain a sultone stock solution; S5: Preparation of hydrophilically modified polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane: soak the polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane in a sultone stock solution for a set period of time, then add RO water to prepare a sultone solution and continue soaking for a set time, then transfer to an acidic environment and an alkaline environment for cleaning, take out and dry to obtain a hydrophilically modified polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane.

[0007] It should be noted that this scheme performs sulfonation treatment on the polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane after preparation. Different from the method of sulfonating the raw materials and then making the membrane, the degree of sulfonation can be more accurately controlled to ensure that the modification of the membrane surface is more uniform, and the post-sulfonation preparation method is also simpler and easier to operate.

[0008] It should be noted that aluminum chloride or tin chloride is used as a catalyst in this scheme. The reaction formula for sulfonation treatment of the polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane and sultone stock solution in this scheme is described below using aluminum chloride as a catalyst as follows:

[0009] Specifically, the sultone in the sultone solution reacts with aluminum chloride to obtain a sulfonic acid intermediate, and the sulfonic acid intermediate reacts with polyethersulfone or polysulfone in the polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane to achieve sulfonation treatment of the polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane.

[0010] In the step of "preparing casting liquid", the polyethersulfone polymer is selected as a polyether polymer or a polyethersulfone polymer, the casting solvent is selected as at least one of N, N-dimethylformamide, N, N-dimethylacetamide, and N-methylpyrrolidone, and the casting aid is selected as at least one of polyethylene glycol and polyvinylpyrrolidone.

[0011] In some embodiments, the non-solvent in the film casting solution is selected as diethylene glycol.

[0012] Specifically, step "S1 prepares casting liquid" includes the following steps: placing polyethersulfone polymer, non-solvent, casting solvent and casting aid in a dissolution kettle and mixing under set conditions to obtain casting liquid, wherein the set conditions are at a temperature of 40~60°C and a rotation speed of 100r / min, stirring and dissolving for 24~48 hours and cooling to 20~30°C, and then vacuum degassing for 8~12 hours at a pressure of -0.09~0.08MPa.

[0013] In the step of "preparing the core liquid", the core liquid solvent is selected as one of N, N-dimethylformamide, N, N-dimethylacetamide, and N-methylpyrrolidone, and the core liquid non-solvent is selected as one of water and ethanol.

[0014] Specifically, step "S2 prepares the core liquid" includes the following steps: placing the core liquid solvent and the core liquid non-solvent in a stirring kettle to obtain the core liquid under set conditions, wherein the set conditions are stirring and mixing at a speed of 100 r / min for 4 hours, and vacuum degassing at a pressure of -0.05 MPa for 2 to 4 hours.

[0015] In the step of "preparing polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane", the casting liquid and the core liquid are respectively injected into the same spinneret through the casting liquid channel and the core liquid channel through a gear pump, and a hollow tubular liquid membrane is extruded through the casting liquid port and the core liquid port of the same spinneret. The hollow tubular liquid membrane is sequentially passed through an air section, a coagulation tank, and a soaking tank to obtain hollow fiber membrane filaments. The hollow fiber membrane filaments are sequentially soaked in water and glycerol and then dried to obtain a polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane.

[0016] Specifically, the hollow tubular liquid membrane passes through the air section height and enters the coagulation tank for solidification, and then is immersed in a constant temperature to remove the solvent to obtain the hollow fiber membrane filaments, and the hollow fiber membrane filaments are immersed in water and glycerol in turn and then dried in the air to obtain the polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane.

[0017] In the step of "preparing a sultone stock solution", the mass ratio of sultone to aluminum chloride or tin chloride is 4:3 to 100:1.

[0018] In the step of "preparing a hydrophilically modified polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane", the polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane is placed in a reaction tank and injected with a sultone stock solution, and is placed in a constant temperature environment of 50-80°C and soaked for 0.5-24 hours. Subsequently, RO water is added to prepare a sultone solution and the solution is placed in a constant temperature environment of 50-80°C and soaked for 2-24 hours. The polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane obtained by soaking is transferred to a 0.1M-2M HCl aqueous solution and soaked for 2-24 hours. Subsequently, the polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane is transferred to a 1M NaOH aqueous solution and soaked for 2-24 hours. After that, it is washed with reverse osmosis water and soaked for 24 hours. Then, it is soaked in a 30% to 50% glycerol solution for 8-24 hours and dried in air to obtain a hydrophilically modified polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane.

[0019] In some embodiments, the sultone solution contains 1-20% sultone, 0.1-15% aluminum chloride or 0.1-15% tin chloride.

[0020] The preparation method of the hydrophilically modified polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane provided in this scheme has the advantages of simple formula, low material and production cost, simple process operation, and easy large-scale production. It can be widely used in the fields of household water purification, seawater desalination, and industrial wastewater treatment.

[0021] In the second aspect, the present invention provides a hydrophilic modified polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane prepared according to the preparation method of the hydrophilic modified polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane, wherein a sulfonic acid functional group is grafted on the surface of the polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane. It should be noted that the hydrophilic modified polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane prepared by the present invention has strong hydrophilicity, strong negative charge, strong pollution resistance, and high flux and organic matter retention.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, this technical solution has the following characteristics and beneficial effects: This scheme is to react the polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane with a sultone solution after the membrane is formed to achieve post-sulfonation, without changing the membrane formation mechanism and membrane formation process of the polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane. The sulfonic acid functional group is grafted on the polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane through the sulfonation post-treatment process, thereby improving the hydrophilicity of the polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane. In addition, this scheme ingeniously uses the sultone solution obtained by sultone configuration to sulfonate the polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane, which has the advantages of simple process, simple formula and high controllability. The polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane sulfonated in this way has the advantages of high hydrophilicity and uniform distribution, and can be widely promoted and applied in industrial production.

The inner and outer diameters of the polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane filament obtained after post-treatment are 0.7 / 1.3 mm.

[0043] The prepared hollow fiber membrane was characterized, and its main performance parameters were: the outer diameter of the membrane fiber was 1.3 mm, the inner diameter was 0.7 mm, the retention rate of polyethylene glycol with a molecular weight of 10,000 Dalton was 90%, the contact angle was 70~76°, and the pure water flux was about 400LMH / bar@25°C.

[0044] Performance comparison test 1: The polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membranes of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were compared for sulfonation degree, wherein the sulfonation degree was tested by a standard titration method and calculated by the following formula: DS=0.232 M (NaOH) x V (NaOH) / (W-0.08M (NaOH) x V (NaOH)) x 100%.

[0045] The obtained schematic diagram of the comparison of the sulfonation degree of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown by Figure 3 It can be seen that the sulfonation degree of the hydrophilically modified polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane obtained in Example 1 is higher than that in Comparative Example 2, but the molding time is longer.

[0046] Performance comparison test 2: The membrane fibers obtained in Example 3 and Comparative Example 2 were made into 2-inch modules, and a membrane fouling comparison experiment was conducted under a constant flux scheme using industrial wastewater as raw water. The relationship between the membrane flux and time of raw water passing through Example 3 and Comparative Example 2 is shown in the figure. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the flux decline rate of the sulfonated modified membrane is slower than that of the unmodified membrane.

The diameter of the membrane assembly was 15-100 mm, the length was 200-400 mm, and the effective membrane area was 0.09-2.5 m 2 Since the dense selective layer is located on the outside of the hollow fiber membrane, the raw solution circulates through the outer cavity side of the membrane module at a membrane inlet pressure of 1 bar, and the produced water flows out from the inner cavity side of the membrane module. First, deionized water is used as the raw water solution to obtain the pure water permeability PWP of the composite membrane: Where F is the permeation flux (l / m 2 h), ΔP is the transmembrane pressure drop (bar), Q is the volume permeation flow rate (l / h), A is the effective membrane filtration area (m 2 ).

[0048] After about 1 hour of deionized water rinsing, the membrane flux reached a constant, and the hollow fiber membrane was filtered with various raw aqueous solutions, including different organic standard solutions to estimate the pore size, characterize the charge properties and evaluate the retention rate. The flux and retention rate of each raw aqueous solution were measured accordingly. The solute retention rate R (%) was calculated according to the following formula: Where: C p is the retention molecular content in the permeate (mg / L); C f is the retention molecule content in the test solution (mg / L).

[0049] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned optimal implementation mode. Anyone can derive other various forms of products under the inspiration of the present invention. However, no matter what changes are made in the shape or structure, all technical solutions that are the same or similar to those of the present application fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
