Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hollow fiber membranes, and in particular to a charge-modified variable-diameter pore structure polyethersulfone hollow fiber membrane and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Hollow fiber membrane is a high-performance separation membrane material, which is similar to a slender fiber in shape and has a hollow tubular structure inside. Hollow fiber membrane has extremely high specific surface area and permeation flux. During the separation process, the feed liquid flows on the outside or inside of the membrane, and the separated substances penetrate through the membrane wall to the other side, thereby achieving the separation and purification of the substances. It has high separation efficiency, simple operation, easy production, and good antioxidant, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and other characteristics.

[0003] Polyethersulfone (PESU) is a commonly used hollow fiber membrane material with excellent film-forming properties. Compared with other materials, it has the advantages of stable chemical properties, high corrosion resistance and heat resistance. After film formation, it has excellent physical strength and has broad application prospects in industrial water treatment, seawater desalination, chemical separation and purification, and biomedicine.

[0004] At present, polyethersulfone hollow fiber membranes are often used for protein purification. Hollow fiber membranes can allow small molecules such as water and salts to pass through, but prevent protein macromolecules from passing through. However, polyethersulfone (PES) hollow fiber membranes have a certain hydrophobicity during protein purification, which easily leads to protein adsorption on the membrane surface and in the membrane pores, forming membrane pollution, resulting in a significant decrease in membrane filtration flux during separation operations, affecting the separation efficiency of the membrane and shortening the service life of the membrane. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance the hydrophilicity of polyethersulfone hollow fiber membranes and reduce the adsorption of proteins by the membrane.

[0005] The invention patent with application number 202410030232.5 discloses a polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane and its preparation method and application. The polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane has an asymmetric sponge-like pore structure, including a support layer, and an inner surface layer and an outer surface layer covered on the support layer; the preparation method comprises the following steps: heating and stirring the polyethersulfone, solvent and additive to dissolve, vacuum degassing, and standing degassing to obtain a casting solution; the casting solution is transported from the spinning kettle to the outer hole of the spinneret through a filter, and the core liquid is transported into the inner hole of the spinneret through a metering pump to obtain a hollow fiber; the hollow fiber enters the coagulation bath after passing through the air area to form; step four, the formed hollow fiber is pulled to the wire collection drum for winding and drying to obtain a hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane. When the polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane is applied to protein purification, it has a high retention effect on protein and can obtain a high protein yield, but its pure water flux is low, which makes the polyethersulfone hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane may take a long time to process a large amount of protein solution, and the overall filtration efficiency is relatively low. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a charge-modified variable-diameter pore structure polyethersulfone hollow fiber membrane and a preparation method, so that the obtained polyethersulfone hollow fiber membrane has both high protein yield and excellent pure water flux and high filtration efficiency.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: A method for preparing a charge-modified variable-diameter pore structure polyethersulfone hollow fiber membrane comprises the following steps: (1) A casting solution is prepared by mixing polyethersulfone resin, sulfonated polyethersulfone, a pore former, polyethylene glycol and an organic solvent; a core solution is prepared by mixing a small molecule alcohol additive, water and an organic solvent; (2) extruding the casting liquid and the core liquid from the single-layer spinneret in order from the outside to the inside, immersing them in a coagulation bath through an air gap to generate primary membrane filaments, and then introducing them into a water washing tank for water washing by a guide roller, and then winding them up by a collection drum, and then soaking the collected membrane filaments in pure water to obtain a sulfonated polyethersulfone modified hollow fiber membrane; (3) Soaking the sulfonated polyethersulfone modified hollow fiber membrane in an aqueous solution of sulfomethyl water-soluble phenolic resin with a mass fraction of 1.5-3.5 wt % and a temperature of 50-55° C. for 6-12 hours, washing with pure water after soaking, and then storing in a glycerol solution.

[0013] Preferably, in step (3), the method for preparing the aqueous solution of sulfomethyl water-soluble phenolic resin comprises the following steps: S1. preparing a sulfomethylating agent using formaldehyde aqueous solution, sodium bisulfite and deionized water as raw materials; S2, add phenol to the reactor, heat and melt, add sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, and heat to 70-75 ° C, then simultaneously add sulfomethylating agent and formaldehyde aqueous solution, after the dropwise addition is complete, continue isothermal reaction for 30-60 min, then heat to 85-90 ° C isothermal reaction for 2-3 h, and cool to room temperature to obtain sulfomethyl water-soluble phenolic resin; S3, adding the sulfomethyl water-soluble phenolic resin into deionized water, heating to 50-55° C., and preparing a sulfomethyl water-soluble phenolic resin aqueous solution with a mass fraction of 1.5-3.5wt% after fully dissolving.

[0015] Preferably, the weight average molecular weight of the polyethersulfone resin is 60,000 to 90,000; the weight average molecular weight of the sulfonated polyethersulfone is 60,000 to 90,000; The pore-forming agent is at least one of polyvinyl pyrrolidone K30, polyvinyl pyrrolidone K60, polyvinyl pyrrolidone K90, polyvinyl alcohol and LiCl; The polyethylene glycol is at least one of polyethylene glycol 200 and polyethylene glycol 400; The small molecule alcohol additive is at least one of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, n-butanol, diethylene glycol, and triethylene glycol; The organic solvent is at least one of N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-diethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone and .

[0016] As a general inventive concept, the present invention provides a charge-modified polyethersulfone hollow fiber membrane with a variable pore structure prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method.

On this basis, the polyethersulfone hollow fiber membrane is further modified by using a negatively charged sulfomethyl water-soluble phenolic resin, so that the negative charge loaded on the polyethersulfone hollow fiber membrane is increased, thereby improving the performance of the membrane. When purifying negatively charged proteins, since both the polyethersulfone hollow fiber membrane and the protein are negatively charged, the two repel each other, thereby reducing the adsorption of the membrane to the protein and improving the product yield. At the same time, the polyethersulfone hollow fiber membrane prepared by the method of the present invention also has excellent pure water flux, so the overall filtration efficiency is high.

[0020] (2) The cross-section of the hollow fiber membrane prepared by the present invention has a gradient change in average pore size from the inside to the outside, including a microporous layer with a larger average pore size and a dense layer with a smaller average pore size. When the hollow fiber membrane is used for protein purification, the dense layer is near the inner surface of the cross-section, and the microporous layer is near the outer surface. This structure can effectively ensure the yield of the target protein and increase the loading capacity. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
