Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aluminum processing technology, and in particular relates to a negative pressure dust removal design and manufacturing method for multi-specification double-sided milling equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In the aluminum processing and manufacturing industry, traditional double-sided milling equipment for aluminum ingots mostly uses positive pressure cyclone dust collectors to collect aluminum chips and fine dust. With the advancement of intelligent manufacturing and the deep application of technology, the aluminum processing industry's requirements for clean production have upgraded from simple end-of-pipe treatment to full-process control. According to a 2023 survey by the China Nonferrous Metals Processing Industry Association, as many as 92% of aluminum processing enterprises listed dust control as a core indicator for green manufacturing upgrades.
[0003] In the aluminum processing and manufacturing industry, double-sided milling of aluminum ingots is a core forming process. Its high-speed cutting process generates a large amount of aluminum chips and dust particles of varying sizes. Among these, inhalable particulate matter (PM10) with a particle size less than 10μm and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) with a particle size less than 2.5μm not only pollutes the production environment but also seriously threatens the health of operators. Long-term inhalation can easily lead to occupational diseases such as pneumoconiosis. Traditional double-sided milling equipment for aluminum ingots widely adopts positive pressure cyclone dust collection technology. This technology is based on the principle of centrifugal separation, using the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the airflow to separate larger particles such as aluminum chips from the airflow. Under ideal working conditions, positive pressure cyclone dust collectors can achieve a collection efficiency of 85%-90% for particles larger than 5μm. However, its purification capacity is significantly reduced when facing submicron-sized fine dust.
[0004] With the continuous improvement and strict enforcement of the "Integrated Emission Standard for Air Pollutants" (GB 16297-1996) and local environmental protection regulations, particulate matter emission limits for the aluminum processing industry are becoming increasingly stringent. Currently, most regions require emission concentrations to be controlled at 10 mg / m³. 3 In key environmental control areas, the standard has even been raised to 5 mg / m³. 3 However, in actual operation, positive pressure cyclone dust collection systems suffer from inherent drawbacks such as dust overflow caused by internal positive pressure and secondary dust generation due to ash accumulation in pipes. Their emission concentrations often exceed standards by 3-5 times, failing to meet current environmental protection requirements. Furthermore, these systems lack effective methods for handling fine dust, gradually becoming a technological bottleneck for the industry as cleanliness requirements in precision machining continue to rise. Therefore, designing and manufacturing efficient negative pressure dust collection systems is an inevitable choice for enterprises with multi-specification double-sided milling equipment to adapt to industry trends and achieve sustainable development.
[0005] In the aluminum processing industry, multi-specification double-sided milling equipment is mainly used for processing large slab ingots of different sizes. Currently, our company's double-sided milling equipment is mainly used for processing large slab ingots with specifications of 6200mm×495mm×1060mm. However, our original double-sided milling equipment uses a positive pressure cyclone dust removal method, which generates a large amount of dust both indoors and outdoors. After milling, the aluminum ingot produces fine aluminum strips, which are then sucked into a crusher for pulverization. The resulting dust and debris are then blown into a cyclone dust collector by a fan under positive pressure for separation, with clean air discharged outdoors. The problems include: a small amount of small aluminum shavings fly out of the cyclone separator's discharge port into the room after being blown under positive pressure, requiring frequent cleaning; fine aluminum shavings are also forced out of the discharge port into the room, resulting in a high concentration of aluminum dust particles indoors. Additionally, oil mist from the milling process permeates the room, posing a significant safety hazard. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention provides a negative pressure dust removal design and manufacturing method for multi-specification double-sided milling equipment. In order to improve the dust removal method and aluminum chip collection effect of double-sided milling equipment, improve the production environment, and reduce the safety hazards caused by aluminum chip accumulation.

Through precise optimization of the dust suction port position and pipeline routing, the dust suction port position is as close as possible to the dust suction fan, all pipelines adopt a ≥90-degree routing, and all bends use smooth transitions to minimize system resistance loss.
[0046] (2) The present invention makes targeted improvements and innovations to the dust collection structure, airflow organization and membrane for adsorbing aluminum dust, thereby improving dust removal efficiency and aluminum chip collection efficiency. The main improvement is the addition of an airlock ash discharge device below the original cyclone separator, which prevents gas loss while collecting aluminum chips, ensuring that the dust and aluminum chips generated in the processing area can be captured and recycled in a timely and efficient manner.

Therefore, building a high-efficiency negative pressure dust removal system has become a strategic choice for aluminum processing enterprises to break through environmental bottlenecks, enhance core competitiveness, and achieve green and sustainable development.

[0094] The method for preparing the membrane for adsorbing aluminum dust includes the following steps:
[0095] (1) Raw material pretreatment
[0096] 1) Dry polylactic acid, graphene oxide and bamboo charcoal fiber at 60-80℃ for 4-6 hours to remove moisture;

[0109] The preparation method of the aluminum-based adsorbent includes the following steps:
[0110] (1) Sol preparation
[0111] Raw material mixing: By mass, dissolve 30-40 parts of aluminum nitrate trihydrate, 12-18 parts of citric acid, and 10-15 parts of polyethylene glycol in 30-40 mL of deionized water and 15-20 mL of ethanol. React at a stirring speed of 500-800 r / min and a temperature of 40-60℃ for 2-3 hours to form a transparent sol.

[0122] The principle of the preparation technology of the membrane for adsorbing aluminum dust in this invention:
[0123] I. The specific role of each preparation step
[0124] 1. Raw material pretreatment
[0125] Drying polylactic acid, graphene oxide, and bamboo charcoal fiber at 60-80℃ for 4-6 hours can effectively remove moisture from the raw materials. The presence of moisture can interfere with the interaction between the raw materials during subsequent mixing and dispersion processes, such as affecting the stability of the emulsion, and may also form defects such as bubbles after film formation, reducing film performance. Drying ensures that these raw materials can fully play their role in subsequent steps.
[0126] Activating aluminum-based adsorbents at 100-120℃ for 2-3 hours can break the inert layer on their surface, increase the number of surface active sites, improve the adsorption affinity for aluminum dust, and thus enhance their adsorption activity.
[0127] 2. Mixing and dispersing
[0128] Polylactic acid (PLA) is dissolved in ethyl acetate in a specific ratio, and then emulsified at high speed with an aqueous solution containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SOB) to form a W / O emulsion. The PVA and SOB are mixed at a mass ratio of (2-5):(0.5-2) to exert a synergistic emulsifying effect, reducing the oil-water interfacial tension and allowing the aqueous phase to be uniformly dispersed in the oil phase as tiny droplets, forming a stable emulsion system that provides a good carrier for the uniform dispersion of other raw materials. High-speed emulsification at 2000-3000 r / min and a time of 10-15 min ensures the stability and uniformity of the emulsion.
[0129] Adding aluminum-based adsorbent, nano-silica, graphene oxide, and bamboo charcoal fiber to a W / O emulsion and stirring at 500-1000 rpm for 30-60 minutes ensures that these solid raw materials are fully dispersed in the emulsion, preventing agglomeration. This guarantees their uniform distribution within the membrane, laying the foundation for excellent membrane performance.
[0130] 3. Crosslinking reaction
[0131] Add 1-3 parts chitosan, 0.5-2 parts glutaraldehyde, and 0.1-1 parts citric acid to mixture a, adjust the pH to 4-6, and react at 40-60℃ for 2-4 hours. The amino groups in the chitosan molecules can undergo cross-linking reactions with the aldehyde groups of glutaraldehyde, and citric acid can also participate in cross-linking, forming a three-dimensional network structure. This enhances the mechanical strength and chemical stability of the membrane, preventing dissolution or damage during use. Specific pH and temperature conditions ensure the smooth progress and appropriate degree of the cross-linking reaction.
[0132] 4. Film-forming treatment
[0133] Pour mixture b into a flat mold, controlling the thickness to 50-100 micrometers, and dry at 50-70℃ for 12-24 hours to form a wet film. Controlling the thickness ensures the uniformity of the film and the adsorption efficiency during use; too thick a film will result in a slow adsorption rate, while too thin a film may lack strength. Drying at this temperature and time allows for slow solvent removal, preventing defects such as cracking and wrinkling caused by excessively rapid drying.
[0134] 5. Surface modification
[0135] The wet membrane is immersed in an ethanol solution containing 0.1-1% nano-zinc oxide and treated under specific ultrasonic conditions for 10-15 minutes. The nano-zinc oxide forms an antibacterial coating on the membrane surface, imparting antibacterial properties and preventing bacterial growth from clogging the pores and affecting adsorption efficiency during use. Ultrasonic treatment ensures uniform adhesion of the nano-zinc oxide to the membrane surface, enhancing the bonding between the coating and the membrane. Drying at room temperature for 2-4 hours allows the ethanol to evaporate, fixing the antibacterial coating.
[0136] 6. Heating treatment
[0137] The dried membrane is heated to 100-120℃ at a rate of 2-5℃ / min and held at this temperature for 1.5-2 hours. Slow heating avoids internal stress caused by a sudden temperature rise, which could lead to cracking. Holding the membrane at this temperature further promotes intermolecular interactions within the membrane, such as enhancing the stability of the cross-linked structure, thereby significantly increasing the membrane's mechanical strength. After natural cooling, the membrane's performance becomes even more stable.
[0138] II. Synergistic Effects Between Raw Materials
[0139] 1. Polylactic acid, as the matrix material of the membrane, has good film-forming properties and biocompatibility, providing a supporting framework for other raw materials, enabling aluminum-based adsorbents, graphene oxides, bamboo charcoal fibers, etc. to be uniformly distributed in the membrane.
[0140] 2. Graphene oxide possesses abundant oxygen-containing functional groups and a large specific surface area, while bamboo charcoal fiber also has a porous structure. Together with the aluminum-based adsorbent, they work synergistically. The aluminum-based adsorbent provides the main adsorption active sites, while the porous structures of graphene oxide and bamboo charcoal fiber serve as adsorption channels, increasing the contact opportunities between aluminum dust and the adsorption sites. All three factors contribute to improving the membrane's adsorption capacity and rate for aluminum dust.
[0141] 3. Nano-silica can fill the pores of the membrane and combine with the polylactic acid matrix to enhance the mechanical strength and wear resistance of the membrane. At the same time, the hydroxyl groups on its surface can interact with other raw materials to further stabilize the structure of the membrane.
[0142] 4. The network structure formed by the cross-linking reaction of chitosan, glutaraldehyde, and citric acid tightly binds all the above raw materials together, which not only enhances the overall stability of the membrane but also prevents the raw materials from falling off during use and extends the service life of the membrane.
[0143] 5. The antibacterial coating formed by nano zinc oxide can inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria on the membrane surface, prevent bacteria from clogging the membrane pores, ensure the unobstructed adsorption channels of aluminum dust, and work synergistically with other adsorption materials to maintain the long-term high-efficiency adsorption performance of the membrane.
[0144] The synergistic effect among these raw materials significantly improves the adsorption capacity, mechanical strength, antibacterial properties, and service life of the prepared membrane, achieving unexpected technical effects that are superior to those of a single raw material.
[0145] III. The Necessity and Importance of Optimizing Process Parameters
[0146] 1. Raw material pretreatment parameters: If the drying temperature is too low or the drying time is too short, the moisture in the raw materials cannot be completely removed, affecting the subsequent mixing, dispersion, and cross-linking reactions. If the temperature is too high, raw materials such as polylactic acid may degrade. Inappropriate activation temperature and time for aluminum-based adsorbents will result in insufficient active sites, reducing adsorption performance. Optimizing these parameters ensures the raw materials are in their optimal state.
[0147] 2. Mixing and Dispersion Parameters: Insufficient emulsification speed and time prevent the formation of a stable W / O emulsion, resulting in uneven raw material dispersion and variations in membrane performance. Excessive speed may disrupt the emulsion system. Inappropriate stirring speed and time can cause solid raw materials to agglomerate, failing to disperse evenly in the emulsion and affecting the overall membrane performance. Optimizing these parameters ensures uniform raw material dispersion, laying the foundation for excellent membrane performance.
[0148] 3. Crosslinking reaction parameters: An unsuitable pH value can affect the extent of the crosslinking reaction; insufficient reaction temperature and time will result in incomplete crosslinking, leading to poor membrane strength and stability; excessive reaction may reduce membrane porosity and affect adsorption performance. Optimizing these parameters can bring the crosslinking reaction to an ideal state.
[0149] 4. Film Formation Processing Parameters: Inappropriate film thickness can affect its adsorption efficiency and mechanical strength, while improper drying temperature and time can lead to film defects. Optimizing these parameters can ensure the stability of the film's morphology and performance.
[0150] 5. Surface Modification Parameters: Excessive concentration of the nano-zinc oxide solution can clog the membrane pores; insufficient concentration will result in poor antibacterial effect. Inappropriate ultrasonic power, frequency, and treatment time can affect the adhesion of nano-zinc oxide to the membrane surface. Optimizing these parameters will allow the antibacterial coating to perform at its best.
[0151] 6. Heating parameters: Excessive heating rate can cause internal stress in the membrane, leading to cracking; inappropriate holding temperature and time will prevent the membrane from achieving its mechanical strength enhancement effect. Optimizing these parameters ensures an effective improvement in the membrane's mechanical strength.
[0152] In summary, the various process parameters influence and constrain each other. Only by optimizing them can each preparation step be performed at its best, resulting in a high-performance, stable, and reliable membrane for adsorbing aluminum dust, achieving unexpected and excellent technical results. Inappropriate process parameters may lead to a decline in membrane performance or even prevent it from meeting usage requirements.

During this process, aluminum nitrate trihydrate acts as an aluminum source, dissociating into Al in the solvent. 3+ Citric acid will react with Al 3+ A complexation reaction occurs, forming a stable aluminum-citric acid complex. Polyethylene glycol dissolves in the mixed solvent, and the steric hindrance of its molecular chains ensures the uniform dispersion of the aluminum-citric acid complex, preventing agglomeration and laying the foundation for the subsequent formation of a homogeneous sol system. Simultaneously, appropriate stirring speed (500-800 r / min) and temperature (40-60℃) promote the complete dissolution and reaction of the raw materials. A reaction time of 2-3 hours ensures the complete completion of the complexation reaction, resulting in a stable, transparent sol.
[0158] pH Adjustment: Adjust the pH of the sol to 4.5-5.5 using ammonia. This step is to adjust the pH of the sol to ensure the stability of the aluminum-citric acid complex within this pH range. If the pH is too low, the complex will dissociate; if the pH is too high, it may cause Al... 3+ Hydrolysis occurs, forming aluminum hydroxide precipitate, which disrupts the stability of the sol system. The adjusted pH environment creates suitable conditions for subsequent gel formation.
[0159] 2. Gel formation
[0160] Chitosan addition: Dissolve 2-4 parts of chitosan in 40-50 mL of a 1-1.3% acetic acid solution and stir at 48-52℃ for 1-1.2 h to aid dissolution and obtain a homogeneous gel. Chitosan swells and dissolves in the acetic acid solution, forming a colloid with a certain viscosity. The temperature of 48-52℃ and the stirring time of 1-1.2 h help the chitosan to dissolve fully and form a homogeneous system. After mixing this homogeneous gel with the previously prepared sol, the chitosan molecular chains can interact with aluminum-citric acid complexes, increasing the viscosity of the system and providing a framework support for the subsequent foaming to form a porous structure.
[0161] Foaming treatment: Add 6-10 parts ammonium bicarbonate and 0.1-0.3 parts Tween-80 to the homogeneous gel. Under specific temperature and stirring speed, the reaction generates bubbles to form a porous precursor. Under these reaction conditions, ammonium bicarbonate decomposes to produce carbon dioxide gas. Tween-80, as a surfactant, reduces the gas-liquid interfacial tension, making the generated bubbles more stable and less prone to coalescence and collapse, thus forming a large number of uniformly distributed pores in the gel system. A temperature of 30-35℃ and a stirring speed of 300-500 r / min ensure both the decomposition rate of ammonium bicarbonate and the uniform dispersion of bubbles in the system, ultimately forming a precursor with a porous structure. This is crucial for improving the specific surface area and adsorption performance of subsequent aluminum-based adsorbents.
[0162] 3. Hydrothermal crystallization
[0163] Crystallization conditions: The porous precursor was transferred to a polytetrafluoroethylene-lined autoclave and crystallized at 120-150℃ for 12-24 hours. The hydrothermal environment was Al. 3+ The growth of coordination networks with citric acid provides favorable conditions. High temperature and pressure promote molecular diffusion and reactions, allowing the coordination network to gradually grow and crystallize, forming a more stable crystal structure. This process enhances the structural stability of the adsorbent, while the formation of the crystal structure also helps to preserve and improve the porous structure.
[0164] Cooling treatment: Allow to cool naturally to room temperature, centrifuge, and wash alternately with deionized water and ethanol 3-5 times. Natural cooling avoids sudden temperature changes that could cause crystal structure breakage; centrifugation quickly separates the product; and alternating washing effectively removes unreacted raw materials, impurity ions, etc., improving product purity and preventing impurities from adversely affecting subsequent adsorption performance.
[0165] 4. Calcination activation
[0166] Template removal: The product is heated to 300-320℃ in a nitrogen atmosphere at a rate of 3-5℃ / min and held for 2-2.5 hours. The nitrogen atmosphere prevents the product from being oxidized at high temperatures. Slow heating (3-5℃ / min) avoids structural damage caused by rapid temperature changes. The temperature of 300-320℃ and the holding time of 2-2.5 hours allow for the complete decomposition and removal of polyethylene glycol and ammonium bicarbonate, while simultaneously forming mesoporous and macroporous structures within the product. These pore structures significantly increase the specific surface area of the adsorbent, providing more active sites for the adsorption process.
[0167] Surface modification: The cooled product was immersed in an ethanol solution of 0.3-0.5% (w / w) 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane for 1.5-2 hours, followed by drying at 47-52°C. The amino group in 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane reacts with the hydroxyl group on the product surface, thereby introducing the amino group onto the adsorbent surface. The amino group has a strong adsorption capacity and can interact with many substances to be adsorbed, significantly improving the adsorption performance of the adsorbent. The drying temperature of 47-52°C removes the ethanol solvent while ensuring the stable binding of the amino group on the adsorbent surface.
[0168] II. Synergistic effects between raw materials and their performance enhancement
[0169] 1. Synergistic effect of aluminum source and complexing agent: Aluminum nitrate trihydrate provides Al 3+ A stable aluminum-citric acid complex is formed with citric acid, which is uniformly dispersed in the sol system. The addition of polyethylene glycol further stabilizes the complex through steric hindrance. The synergistic effect of these three components makes the sol system more stable and uniform, laying the foundation for the subsequent formation of a uniform gel and crystal structure. This is beneficial to the uniformity of the final product structure, thereby improving the stability of the adsorption performance.
[0170] 2. Synergistic effect of chitosan with foaming agents and surfactants: The gel formed by chitosan provides the framework structure for the entire system. Bubbles generated from the decomposition of ammonium bicarbonate, under the stabilizing effect of Tween-80, can be uniformly distributed within the chitosan gel framework, forming a large number of porous structures. The framework effect of chitosan ensures the stability of the porous structure, while the porous structure significantly increases the specific surface area of the adsorbent. The synergistic effect of these three factors gives the adsorbent abundant pores, providing more channels and spaces for the adsorbed substances, and significantly improving the adsorption capacity.
[0171] 3. Synergistic effect of template agent and surface modifier: Polyethylene glycol and ammonium bicarbonate are decomposed and removed during calcination, forming mesoporous and macroporous structures. These pores provide channels for the entry and reaction of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, allowing the amino groups to be more uniformly and fully loaded on the adsorbent surface. Simultaneously, the abundant pore structure and the synergistic effect of the surface amino groups not only capture substances through the physical adsorption of the pores but also enhance the adsorption capacity of the target substances through the chemical adsorption of the amino groups. The combined effect of these two factors unexpectedly improves the adsorption performance of the aluminum-based adsorbent.
[0172] III. The Necessity, Importance, and Technical Effects of Optimizing Process Parameters
[0173] 1. Stirring Speed: During the raw material mixing stage, a stirring speed of 500-800 rpm ensures thorough mixing and reaction of the raw materials, preventing uneven reaction caused by excessively high local concentrations. If the stirring speed is too low, the raw materials will not mix sufficiently, affecting the stability of the sol; if it is too high, excessive solvent evaporation may occur, which is also detrimental to the sol system. Optimized stirring speed ensures the uniformity of the sol, providing a good foundation for subsequent processes.
[0174] 2. Temperature: Temperature parameters for each step were optimized. A temperature of 40-60℃ during raw material mixing promoted dissolution and complexation reactions; a temperature of 48-52℃ during chitosan dissolution ensured complete dissolution; a temperature of 30-35℃ during foaming allowed ammonium bicarbonate to decompose at a suitable rate, facilitating bubble formation and stabilization; a temperature of 120-150℃ during hydrothermal crystallization promoted crystal growth; and the temperatures for calcination and drying were precisely controlled to ensure effective template removal and surface modification. Appropriate temperature parameters ensured that each reaction step proceeded as expected; improper temperatures could lead to incomplete reactions, structural damage, and other problems. Optimized temperature parameters resulted in superior product structure and properties, such as a more complete crystal structure and richer porous structure.
[0175] 3. Time: The reaction time of each step is also crucial for optimization. A 2-3 hour mixing reaction of raw materials ensures complete complexation; 1-1.2 hours of chitosan stirring ensures complete dissolution; 30-60 minutes of foaming allows for sufficient bubble formation; 12-24 hours of crystallization promotes crystal growth; 2-2.5 hours of calcination and holding ensures thorough template removal; and 1.5-2 hours of surface modification soaking ensures sufficient amino loading. Sufficient reaction time ensures complete reaction, but excessive time reduces production efficiency and increases costs. Optimized time parameters improve production efficiency and reduce costs while ensuring complete reaction.
[0176] 4. pH value: Adjusting the pH of the sol to 4.5-5.5 is crucial for ensuring its stability. A suitable pH value avoids Al... 3+The hydrolysis and dissociation of the complexes ensured the smooth progress of subsequent gel formation. If the pH value is outside this range, the sol-gel system may be disrupted, preventing the formation of the desired gel structure. Optimized pH parameters ensured the stability of the entire preparation process, ultimately resulting in stable product properties.
[0177] By optimizing various process parameters, the prepared aluminum-based adsorbent exhibits superior performance, such as a significantly increased specific surface area, improved adsorption capacity, faster adsorption rate, and enhanced selectivity for target substances. These unexpected technical effects make this aluminum-based adsorbent have broader application prospects in fields such as gas adsorption. Simultaneously, the optimized process parameters also improve production stability and efficiency, reduce production costs, and possess significant practical application value.

[0339] Analysis of the conclusions drawn from the table above:
[0340] (1) Aluminum-based adsorbent dosage: When the dosage is less than 25 parts, there are insufficient adsorption active sites, resulting in low adsorption efficiency; when the dosage is greater than 25 parts, excessive aluminum-based adsorbent will affect the structural integrity of the membrane, causing a slight decrease in tensile strength. At the same time, particle agglomeration may affect the adsorption effect, resulting in a decrease in adsorption efficiency. The preferred dosage is 20-35 parts, and the optimal dosage is 25 parts.
[0341] (2) Polylactic acid dosage: When the dosage is too low, the film-forming properties of the membrane are poor and the structure is unstable, which affects the adsorption efficiency and mechanical strength; when the dosage is too high, the porosity of the membrane may decrease, which hinders the adsorption of aluminum dust and leads to a decrease in adsorption efficiency. The optimal dosage is 25-35 parts, and the optimal dosage is 30 parts.
[0342] (3) pH value of cross-linking reaction: When the pH value is too low, the cross-linking reaction is insufficient, the structural stability of the membrane is poor, and the mechanical strength and adsorption efficiency are both low; when the pH value is too high, some components may be hydrolyzed or precipitated, affecting the performance of the membrane. The optimal pH value is 4-6, and the optimal pH value is 5.
[0343] (4) Film drying temperature: If the temperature is too low, the drying speed is slow and too much moisture may remain in the film, affecting the structure and performance of the film; if the temperature is too high, the drying speed is too fast, which may cause cracking on the film surface or uneven internal structure, reducing adsorption efficiency and mechanical strength. The preferred temperature is 50-70℃, and the optimal temperature is 60℃.
[0344] (5) Concentration of surface-modified nano zinc oxide: If the concentration is too low, the antibacterial coating will not form sufficiently, the antibacterial effect will be poor, and the service life and adsorption stability of the membrane will be indirectly affected; if the concentration is too high, the nano zinc oxide may agglomerate, affecting the air permeability and adsorption performance of the membrane, resulting in a decrease in adsorption efficiency. The optimal concentration is 0.1-1%, and the optimal concentration is 0.5%.
[0345] (6) Heating treatment temperature: If the temperature is too low, the mechanical strength of the membrane cannot be fully enhanced; if the temperature is too high, some components of the membrane may decompose or the structure may be damaged, resulting in a decrease in both adsorption efficiency and mechanical strength. The preferred temperature is 100-120℃, and the optimal temperature is 110℃.

[0353] Analysis of the conclusions drawn from the table above:
[0354] (1) Adsorption efficiency: The adsorption efficiency of the examples all exceeded 96%, which was much higher than that of the comparative examples. This is because the examples adopted optimized process parameters, such as the appropriate amount of aluminum-based adsorbent to provide sufficient adsorption sites, the addition of graphene oxide to enhance the adsorption capacity, and the appropriate cross-linking reaction pH and drying temperature to ensure the good structure of the membrane, which is conducive to the adsorption of aluminum dust.
[0355] (2) Static adsorption saturation time: The saturation time of the embodiment is shorter, indicating that the membrane adsorption rate of the embodiment is faster and can reach adsorption saturation more quickly, thus improving working efficiency. This is due to the reasonable pore structure and excellent adsorption performance of the membrane.
[0356] (3) Adsorption efficiency retention rate after 5 ethanol elutions: The higher retention rate in the example indicates that the membrane of the example has better regeneration performance, can be reused more times, and reduces the cost of use. This is related to the stable structure of the membrane and the good binding between the adsorbent and the membrane.
[0357] (4) Tensile strength: The tensile strength of the embodiments is ≥8.1MPa, which meets the requirements and is higher than that of the comparative example, indicating that the membranes of the embodiments have better mechanical properties, better flexibility, and can be repeatedly folded and used. This is because the appropriate heating treatment and other processes enhance the mechanical strength of the membrane.
[0358] (5) Antibacterial properties: The example showed a higher inhibition rate against Escherichia coli, indicating superior antibacterial properties, which can effectively prevent bacterial growth and extend the service life of the membrane. This is related to the antibacterial coating formed by the appropriate concentration of nano zinc oxide during surface modification.
[0359] In summary, by optimizing key process parameters, the membrane prepared by this invention for adsorbing aluminum dust is superior to the comparative example in terms of adsorption efficiency, mechanical strength, regeneration performance, and antibacterial performance, demonstrating significant progress and proving the inventiveness and superiority of this invention.
