Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of filtration, and particularly relates to an anti-pollution dynamic ring PTFE hollow tube membrane and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has strong hydrophobicity, oxidation resistance, acid and alkali resistance and temperature resistance. When prepared into a hollow fiber membrane, it is particularly suitable for processes such as membrane distillation seawater desalination, membrane seawater bromine extraction and membrane gas treatment. After hydrophilic treatment, it can also fully exert its super strong mechanical properties, and is used in membrane bioreactor (MBR) processes and chlor-alkali chemical material treatment processes, thereby prolonging the service life of the membrane. Therefore, in recent years, the research and development of PTFE hollow fiber membranes have attracted much attention. Limited by the characteristics of PTFE resin that it cannot be dissolved or melted, conventional membrane preparation processes such as dry-wet method, thermally induced phase separation method and melt spinning-drawing method cannot be used. At present, the feasible preparation methods mainly include sol-gel-sintering method and push-stretching method. The main disadvantage of the former is that high-temperature sintering is needed to remove the spinning carrier to obtain a microporous structure, which consumes energy and time, and the membrane porosity is low. The latter forms a membrane microporous structure by stretching, and has higher production efficiency, and has become a more recognized PTFE hollow fiber membrane preparation method in the world.

[0039] Comparative Example

[0040] A method for preparing a hollow tube membrane, comprising the following steps:

[0046] Experimental Example

[0047] The tubular membranes of Example 1 and the comparative example were used in a simulated application of sewage, and the specific steps were as follows: simulated sewage containing humic acid + sodium alginate + diatomite was prepared, the membrane tube was fixed by a bendable clamp, the membrane tube was bent at 0° (straight), 30° and 60°, the simulated sewage passed through the membrane tube at a cross-flow speed (2 m / s and 0.5 m / s), the water flow direction was switched every 2 h, and the process lasted for 12 h, the deposition amount of pollutants was calculated for 12 h, then fluorescent microspheres were injected into the simulated sewage, the microspheres passed through the membrane tube at a flow rate of 0.1 m / s, and the deposition (pollution degree) of the microspheres was observed; finally, the tubular membranes of Example 1 and the comparative example were backwashed (high-speed cross-flow flushing), and the recovery rate of the membrane tube was calculated by passing through clean water; the experimental results are shown in Table 1.

[0048] Table 1: Results of simulation experiment

[0049]

[0050] The tubular membrane prepared in Example 1 has similar anti-pollution performance to the tubular membrane of the comparative example when it is not bent, because the dynamic ring structure on the surface of the membrane is not activated, but when it is bent at 30° or 60°, the pollution adhesion is partially detached and difficult to be adsorbed and deposited due to the change in the morphology of the membrane surface, the peak part of the fold is difficult to deposit, and the deposited material is easily carried away by the liquid flow and detached, the valley part is difficult to enter the deposition, so the deposition amount of pollutants decreases by more than 50%, and the recovery rate of the tubular membrane prepared in Example 1 is higher than that of the comparative example after backwashing under the bent state, which shows that the dynamic ring structure is more easily washed off the pollution deposition; at the same time, it is observed in the pollution experiment of fluorescent microspheres that the microspheres are carried away by the vortex at the ring peak and are difficult to enter the valley part, while the microspheres are uniformly deposited in the comparative example; the experiment shows that the anti-pollution dynamic ring PTFE hollow tubular membrane prepared in the application has very excellent anti-pollution performance and has the value of industrial application.

[0051] Although the specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail in combination with the examples, it should not be understood as limiting the protection scope of the patent. Various modifications and variations made by those skilled in the art within the scope described in the claims are still within the protection scope of the patent.
