Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of filter membrane materials, and particularly relates to a polymer membrane material and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, separation technology based on ultrafiltration membranes is widely applied in the water treatment industry; polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene fluoride and polyethersulfone are used as membrane materials of ultrafiltration membranes, and have excellent chemical and thermal stability and good mechanical strength. However, due to the low hydrophilicity of these membrane materials, problems such as low permeation flux, poor selectivity and easy fouling occur in the use process, which seriously limits the application and development of ultrafiltration membranes.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to modify the existing polymer membrane material to improve its hydrophilicity; the common modification method at present is surface segregation technology. Surface segregation is a method of adding a hydrophilic additive to the casting solution by blending, and the hydrophilic group will be enriched and segregated on the surface of the film during the film forming process driven by thermodynamics. However, most of the existing hydrophilic additives are water-soluble polymers, which will be precipitated into the coagulation bath to form pores during the exchange of non-solvent during the film forming process, which will significantly reduce the selectivity of the ultrafiltration membrane; in addition, there is a lack of stable chemical bond between the hydrophilic additive and the polymer material, and the hydrophilic additive is easy to precipitate during use, so that the ultrafiltration membrane lacks long-term running stability. Therefore, it is an urgent technical problem to develop a polymer membrane material with high selectivity and stability. SUMMARY

As a specific embodiment of the application, the first mixing can be carried out under a protective atmosphere, which can be a nitrogen atmosphere.

[0057] As a specific embodiment of the present application, the temperature of the in-situ polymerization can be 50-90℃, and can be specifically 50℃, 55℃, 60℃, 65℃, 70℃, 75℃, 80℃, 85℃ or 90℃; the time of the in-situ polymerization can be 4-48h, and can be specifically 5h, 10h, 15h, 20h, 25h, 30h, 35h, 40h or 45h.

[0061] The schematic diagram of the principle of preparing the polymer film material of the present application is as shown in Figure 1The in-situ polymerization is shown in detail, specifically, dissolving synchronous in-situ polymerization: the film-forming polymer, alkenyl hydrophilic monomer, alkenyl siloxyl monomer, coupling agent, initiator and organic solvent are mixed and polymerization is initiated, the newly generated copolymer of the alkenyl hydrophilic monomer and the alkenyl siloxyl monomer is intertwined with the long chain of the film-forming polymer, forming a uniform and compatible casting solution; at the same time, the coupling agent as an anchor point for subsequent reactions is dissolved synchronously and uniformly distributed in the casting solution, that is, dissolving synchronous in-situ polymerization. High-activity coupling synergizes film formation: after obtaining the uniform casting solution, a non-solvent is used to induce phase separation to prepare an ultrafiltration membrane, the non-solvent can quickly induce coupling combination of high-activity sites in the casting solution, and the coupling agent is used as a connecting branch point to rapidly and stably combine the in-situ polymer chain segments with each other through chemical bonds, and a regular polymer network structure is formed by coupling combination (cross-linking combination of the siloxyl groups in the coupling agent and the in-situ polymer) in the phase separation and film formation process, the polymer long chain movement is constrained, and a uniform ultrafiltration membrane with a high efficiency is constructed, that is, high-activity coupling synergizes film formation.

[0062] The small molecule coupling agent is dissolved in the casting solution in advance, the coupling agent is uniformly distributed in the casting solution, and until the process of phase separation, under the induction of the non-solvent, the "pre-embedded" small molecule coupling agent is used as a branch point for constructing a polymer cross-linking network, and the surface segregation behavior is regulated in a chemical bond linkage manner, the "internal driving force" from the inside of the separation membrane matrix facilitates the more regular distribution of the additive in the polymer membrane, so that the random phase separation process is constrained and regularly arranged at a micro level, that is, high-activity coupling synergizes phase separation to construct a separation membrane, and the film formation process is regulated.

[0063] The preparation method provided by the application has high reaction efficiency, mild conditions, reduces the time cost of additive synthesis, is controllable in the reaction process, and can finely regulate the performance of the polymer membrane material; the flexible selection of the alkenyl monomer can bring rich active reaction sites to the finished ultrafiltration membrane, and the subsequent post-modification in the specific application field is facilitated.

[0064] The application realizes preparation and modification of hydrophilic ultrafiltration membranes by one-step method, not only completes in-situ preparation of functionalization modifier, but also realizes simple preparation of high-selectivity (R BSA > 94%) ultrafiltration membranes by coupling agent regulation of precipitation behavior of the modifier.

[0065] The application further provides application of the polymer membrane material prepared by the preparation method as an ultrafiltration membrane.

[0114]

[0115] In combination with Table 1 and Figure 2It can be seen that the pore size distribution of M1 to M5 is narrowed with the increase of the amount of coupling agent, but M1, due to the absence of coupling agent, the in-situ polymerization of the generated copolymer additive exists in the phase separation of segregation and precipitation phenomenon, showing Figure 2 The range of pore size distribution is greatly increased, while M2 to M5, due to the presence of pre-loaded coupling agent, effectively prevents the precipitation of copolymer during the phase separation process, and with the increase of its amount, the polymer crosslinked network is constantly improved, and the uniformity of the pore size distribution is constantly improved, which shows that this high activity coupling induced phase separation method can provide high selectivity membrane with uniform pore size.

[0116] Figure 3 1750cm -1 The characteristic absorption peak representing the carbonyl group is higher in intensity after the addition of coupling agent, which more fully illustrates that under the condition of constant amount of in-situ polymerization copolymer additive, the pre-loading of coupling agent can anchor the copolymer through chemical bonding, limit its precipitation behavior, so that the ultrafiltration membrane remains high selectivity while being hydrophilically modified.

[0117] From the performance parameters of pure water flux, bovine serum albumin rejection rate and water contact angle in Table 1, it can be seen that the covalent force between the coupling agent and the in-situ polymerization copolymer additive can stably limit it in the separation membrane, and in the process of phase separation, it realizes the persistent improvement of hydrophilic modification while effectively inhibiting the generation of large pores on the surface of the separation membrane, and the present application successfully obtains a high selectivity hydrophilic ultrafiltration membrane.
