Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water treatment, in particular to a PTFE-PAN multi-layer composite filter membrane with gradient pore size structure and application. The composite membrane can realize the graded interception of pollutants of different particle sizes by constructing a three-level gradient pore size structure, and is particularly suitable for industrial wastewater treatment containing heavy metal ions. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous expansion of industrial scale, heavy metal pollution in industrial wastewater poses a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health due to its high toxicity and non-biodegradability. Membrane separation technology has become a research hotspot in the field of water treatment due to its advantages such as high efficiency and low energy consumption. Among them, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane has shown good application prospects in wastewater treatment due to its excellent mechanical strength, chemical stability and controllable pore size distribution. Compared with traditional polymer membranes such as polysulfone and cellulose, PTFE membrane can maintain structural stability under extreme conditions such as strong acid and strong base, avoiding the problem of decreased interception performance caused by degradation of membrane materials.

[0003] Currently, the preparation methods of PTFE membrane mainly include stretching method, electrospinning method and phase separation method, etc. Studies have shown that PTFE membranes prepared by stretching method have uniform microporous structure and good removal effect on heavy metal ions. Stretching method can be divided into unidirectional stretching and biaxial stretching according to the stretching direction: unidirectional stretching process is simple, but stretching in a single direction will lead to insufficient transverse strength of the film, which is easy to tear; biaxial stretching process can significantly improve the mechanical properties and dimensional stability of the film through longitudinal and transverse stretching, and can accurately control the microporous structure, so it has become the mainstream preparation technology of high-performance PTFE membrane.

[0004] However, the PTFE membranes prepared by biaxial stretching in the prior art are mostly single-layer structures, and have not been combined with functional materials (such as thermoplastic filled membranes) to construct a multifunctional system, making it difficult to balance mechanical strength and flexibility. For example: the PTFE microporous membrane disclosed in CN09608794A has a pore size distribution of 0.2-1 μm, which has basic filtration performance, but due to the homogenization of the pore structure, it cannot realize the graded interception of large particles (>10 μm), colloids (1-10 μm) and heavy metal ions (<1 μm); CN115449105A modifies the PTFE membrane by introducing AOI monomers, but the modified monomers are easy to fall off, have poor corrosion resistance, and the modification process may damage the PTFE microporous structure, resulting in a decrease in membrane strength.

[0005] In actual industrial wastewater treatment, the above-mentioned technologies have obvious defects: the single-layer homogeneous structure is easy to be blocked by large-particle impurities, resulting in a decrease in filtration flux; the lack of grading treatment capability makes it difficult to simultaneously and efficiently remove different particle size pollutants; and the chemical stability of the modified PTFE membrane is insufficient, affecting the service life of the membrane module. Therefore, developing a PTFE composite membrane with a gradient pore size structure, capable of grading interception of pollutants and having excellent mechanical properties and chemical stability, has become a technical problem to be solved in the field. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application provides a PTFE-PAN composite filtration membrane with a gradient pore size structure and a preparation method thereof, mainly solving the problem that the existing filtration materials are difficult to balance the interception efficiency of different particle size pollutants and the filtration resistance.

[0007] 1. Composite filtration membrane structure: the composite filtration membrane is composed of alternating stacking of PTFE membrane layers and PAN filled membranes, forming a three-level gradient pore size structure: PTFE membrane large pore size layer (50 μm): prepared by using PTFE resins with molecular weights of 2 million and 10 million at a mass ratio of 2:1; medium pore size layer (10 μm): prepared by using the above-mentioned PTFE resins at a mass ratio of 1:1; small pore size layer (1 μm): prepared by using the above-mentioned PTFE resins at a mass ratio of 1:2.

[0008] The PAN filled membrane contains 2-10 wt% carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) to enhance the membrane layer bonding force and stability.

[0009] 2. Preparation method including the following steps: (1) mixing and pretreatment: mixing different molecular weight PTFE dispersion resins with a proportion of 15-25 wt% and a co-extrusion agent (liquid paraffin or petroleum ether), ball milling for 30-60 min (40-50 r / min), and aging at 30-45℃ for 24-36 h; (2) extrusion and calendering to form a film: the blend is extruded through a double screw extruder at 250-280℃, and is calendered through a flat die at 30-50℃ to form a 200-800 μm thick initial film sheet; (3) solvent removal: the film sheet is heated at 150-200℃ for 2-4 h to remove the co-extrusion agent; (4) two-way stretching: longitudinally stretching 5-10 times and transversely stretching 10-15 times (rate 5-15 m / min) at 250-300℃ to obtain PTFE membranes with different pore sizes; (5) PAN filled membrane preparation: 10-20wt% PAN resin is dissolved in DMF, 2-10wt% CMC is added, and a 50-200μm thick film is scraped, dried at 60-100℃; (6) Hot pressing composite: PTFE film and PAN film are stacked in gradient, hot pressed at 200℃, 0.3 MPa pressure, and 8 m / min.

[0010] 3. Performance and application The composite membrane shows excellent performance in water treatment: Graded filtration performance: retention rate of > 50μm particulate matter ≥ 99.5%, effluent turbidity ≤ 0.25NTU; removal rate of 1-10μm colloidal matter ≥ 98%; retention rate of Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, Cu²⁺ ≥ 95.0%, 97.0%, 98.0% respectively.

[0011] Running stability: pressure loss < 0.05MPa during filtration process, initial flux ≥ 80 L・m⁻²・h⁻¹, flux decay rate ≤ 5% after 10 hours of continuous operation, membrane body mechanical strength is stable, no damage or deformation phenomenon.

[0012] Pollution resistance: the hydrophilic network structure of CMC in PAN filled membrane can reduce the adsorption of pollutants, the chemical inertness of PTFE substrate inhibits the growth of microorganisms, and the deposition amount of membrane surface pollutants is reduced by more than 40% compared with traditional membranes. Beneficial effects

[0013] The present application realizes the gradient distribution of PTFE membrane pore size by precise control of bidirectional stretching process parameters, and combines the stacking of PAN filled membrane to construct a "coarse filtration-fine filtration-chelation" three-level synergistic filtration system: 1. Improved graded filtration performance Innovative design of 50 μm→10 μm→1 μm three-level gradient pore size structure, through the synergistic effect of physical screening and chemical adsorption. Through the large pore size layer (50 μm) to intercept suspended solids such as silt, the medium pore size layer (10 μm) to remove colloidal substances, and the small pore size layer (1 μm) to block small particles, forming a step-by-step filtration; 2. Material synergistic effect optimization Different molecular weight PTFE resins are used for compounding, high molecular weight resin (10 million) ensures the mechanical strength of the membrane body, and low molecular weight resin (2 million) improves the processing fluidity, and the two are gradient ratio controlled for flexibility.

[0014] 3. Synergistically enhanced mechanical-chemical stability The PTFE substrate provides high-strength support through a biaxial stretching structure, combined with an interfacial interlocking structure formed by hot-pressing, significantly improving mechanical durability. The CMC in the PAN-filled membrane selectively adsorbs heavy metal ions (such as Cd²⁺ and Pb²⁺) through carboxyl chelation, while its hydrogen bond network forms an antifouling coating, combining chemical stability and long-term operation stability.

[0015] 4 High-efficiency anti-pollution and selective separation function The hydrophilic segment of CMC forms a hydration layer on the membrane surface, combined with the low surface energy property of PTFE, synergistically inhibiting the adsorption of suspended solids and organic matter. The chemical-physical dual anti-fouling mechanism (carboxyl chelation + hydration layer barrier) realizes selective adsorption of heavy metals and simultaneous barrier of pollutants, suitable for high-precision separation requirements in complex environments.
