Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of metal membrane filter elements, and in particular relates to a high-precision homogeneous metal membrane filter element and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Metal membrane filter elements are high-precision filter components made from metal materials through a specialized process. They are primarily used for high-precision filtration of fluids (such as gases or liquids), effectively removing impurities, particles, and microorganisms while maintaining excellent mechanical properties and chemical stability. Due to their unique properties, metal membrane filter elements are widely used in various fields, including industry, healthcare, and environmental protection.

[0003] When using existing metal membrane filter elements, problems such as membrane shedding and mechanical strength reduction are prone to occur, which affect the service life and filtration performance of the filter element. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention provides a high-precision homogeneous metal membrane filter element, aiming to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] The present invention is achieved as follows: a high-precision homogeneous metal membrane filter element includes a metal substrate, a metal film layer and a protective layer. The metal film layer is located on the surface of the metal substrate, and the protective layer is located on the surface of the metal film layer. Preferably, the thickness of the metal film layer is 0.1-2 mm. The metal film layer includes the following raw materials in parts by weight: 90-100 parts of nano-metal powder, 5-10 parts of modified mannitol, 1-2 parts of modified nano-graphene, and 1-3 parts of nano-alumina. The nano-metal powder can be nickel, titanium, tantalum, etc.

[0006] Preferably, the metal film layer comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 92-98 parts of nano metal powder, 6-9 parts of modified mannitol, 1.3-1.7 parts of modified nano graphene, and 1.5-2.5 parts of nano alumina.

[0007] Preferably, the metal film layer comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 95 parts of nano metal powder, 7.5 parts of modified mannitol, 1.5 parts of modified nano graphene, and 2 parts of nano alumina.

[0008] Preferably, the protective layer is a multi-layer structure with a thickness of 0.5-3 mm. From the inside to the outside, it is an aluminum oxide layer, an aluminum oxide-zirconium oxide gradient layer, and a zirconium oxide layer. The gradient material design is adopted so that the composition and structure of the protective layer gradually change from the inside to the outside, so as to improve the bonding strength and thermal shock resistance of the protective layer and the metal film layer.

[0009] Preferably, the preparation method of the modified mannitol is as follows: mannitol and polyethylene glycol are added to a reactor at a ratio of 1:1-2, heated and stirred at 160-180°C, and reacted for 30-50 minutes. After the reaction is completed, the water generated during the reaction is discharged under reduced pressure, and the modified mannitol is obtained by cooling and crystallization separation. The multiple hydroxyl groups of mannitol undergo esterification or etherification reaction with the hydroxyl groups of PEG to form a mannitol-PEG conjugated structure. The introduction of PEG increases the molecular weight and steric hindrance of mannitol, improves its dispersibility and stability, thereby improving the dispersibility of the nano-metal powder, preventing particle aggregation, and ensuring a uniform pore size distribution of the film layer. During the deposition process on the metal substrate surface, the modified mannitol can reduce the friction between the film layer and the substrate and improve the adhesion of the film layer.

[0011] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned high-precision homogeneous metal membrane filter element, comprising the following steps:

[0012] Using 3D printing technology, a metal matrix with a porous structure is printed, with a pore size range of 10-100 microns and a porosity of 30-70%. 3D printing technology can achieve high-precision pore size control;

[0013] Mixing raw materials of the metal film layer to obtain a mixture, and depositing the mixture on the surface of the metal substrate to form a metal film layer;

[0014] A protective layer is coated on the surface of the metal film layer. Aluminum oxide layer can be coated by ALD technology, and aluminum oxide-zirconia gradient layer and zirconium oxide layer can be coated by sol-gel method combined with heat treatment to improve the crystallinity and mechanical strength of the protective layer;

[0015] The metal membrane filter element is cleaned and dried, and the drying temperature can be 40-60°C.

[0016] Preferably, the process of depositing the mixed material on the surface of the metal substrate to form a metal film layer adopts magnetron sputtering, chemical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition.

[0017] Preferably, before depositing the metal film layer, the metal substrate is placed in a low-temperature plasma device for low-temperature plasma treatment for 10-30 minutes. The power of the low-temperature plasma device is 100-500W, the pressure is 10-100Pa, the gas is argon or oxygen, and the gas flow rate is 10-50 sccm (standard cubic centimeters per minute). Plasma treatment can clean the surface of the metal substrate, remove oxides and contaminants, and introduce active groups (such as hydroxyl groups, carboxyl groups, etc.) on the metal surface through plasma activation, thereby increasing the surface energy, enhancing the bonding strength between the metal film layer and the metal substrate, forming a micro-nanoscale rough structure on the metal surface, increasing the surface area, and improving the adhesion of the metal film layer.

[0018] Preferably, after the protective layer is coated on the surface of the metal membrane layer, the product is fermented. The fermentation method is as follows: soak the product in a culture medium, inoculate Acetobacter xylinum into the culture medium at an inoculation rate of 5-10%, place the fermentation container in a constant temperature fermentation box and ferment at 28-30°C for 3-5 days. After the fermentation is completed, take out the product. During the fermentation process, bacterial cellulose forms a uniform nano-scale porous structure on the surface of the product, further refines the filtration pore size, and improves the filtration performance. Bacterial cellulose has natural corrosion resistance and can be protected on the surface of the product. Bacterial cellulose has high strength and toughness, which can improve the tensile strength and impact resistance of the metal membrane. Bacterial cellulose is hydrophilic and can improve the wettability of the filter element surface, promote the uniform distribution of liquid on the membrane surface, and improve the filtration efficiency and flux.

The modified graphene can serve as a reinforcing phase in the metal membrane layer to improve the mechanical properties of the membrane layer.

[0103]

[0104] It can be seen from the above results that the metal membrane filter element prepared by the present invention has good mechanical properties and filtration performance. By adding modified mannitol and modified nanographene to the metal membrane layer, the two have a synergistic effect and can further improve its performance. By fermenting the product to form a bacterial cellulose layer, a uniform nanoscale porous structure is formed on the surface of the product, the filtration pore size is further refined, and the filtration performance is improved. Bacterial cellulose has natural corrosion resistance and can be protected on the surface of the product. Bacterial cellulose has high strength and toughness, which can improve the tensile strength and impact resistance of the metal membrane. Bacterial cellulose is hydrophilic and can improve the wettability of the filter element surface, promote the uniform distribution of liquid on the membrane surface, and improve the filtration efficiency and flux.
