Abstract
Description
Pressure-resistant nanofiltration / reverse osmosis membrane with composite polyolefin film as base material and preparation method TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of nanofiltration / reverse osmosis membrane, and particularly relates to a pressure-resistant nanofiltration / reverse osmosis membrane prepared from a composite polyolefin base film and a preparation method. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of China's economy, water pollution is becoming increasingly serious, and in recent years, water pollution incidents have occurred in many places in China. Nanofiltration / reverse osmosis membrane technology is widely used in life and industry due to its unique technical advantages, such as municipal sewage treatment, brackish water and seawater desalination, ultra-pure water preparation, and special separation fields such as food and beverage.
[0003] Nanofiltration / reverse osmosis membranes are mainly composed of a functional layer and a support layer. The structure and properties of the functional layer and the support layer can be independently controlled. The properties of the support layer, such as hydrophilicity / hydrophobicity, pore size and distribution, and surface charge, can affect the diffusion rate of active monomers and the degree of interfacial polymerization, thereby affecting the structure and performance of the nanofiltration / reverse osmosis membrane. In addition, the support layer provides mechanical support for the nanofiltration / reverse osmosis membrane, ensuring its stable operation in a pressure environment. Currently, commercial nanofiltration / reverse osmosis membranes mainly have a classic three-layer structure with "non-woven fabric + polysulfone as the support layer" and polyamide as the separation layer. The non-woven fabric and polysulfone account for about 70% of the total cost of the membrane sheet, and are mainly imported. Realizing the complete domestic substitution of composite membrane materials and reducing the cost of composite membranes are key problems to be solved in the field.
[0004] Currently, there are reports on the use of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) membranes as support layers to prepare nanofiltration / reverse osmosis membranes. The polyolefin membranes used are from domestic manufacturers, and the thickness is generally 16-40 microns. However, the current main application field of polyolefin membranes is the new energy industry. Based on the pursuit of energy density in the new energy industry, the demand for polyethylene (PE) porous membranes tends to thinner thickness. High-thickness membranes are not advantageous in terms of market size and cost. However, in the field of water treatment applications, the base material needs to provide certain mechanical support. Thinner thickness means poorer pressure resistance, especially not conducive to its application in industrial environments. The present application proposes to replace the polyolefin and traditional "non-woven fabric + polysulfone" support layer with a composite polyolefin base film, which can effectively improve the mechanical strength and pressure resistance of the membrane prepared from the single polyolefin base material, and save 20%-40% of the manufacturing cost.
