Method for preparing hollow fiber membranes and tubular membranes with microporous PTFE hybrid flat membrane wrapping method

The invention discloses a method for preparing hollow fiber membranes and tubular membranes with a microporous PTFE hybrid flat membrane wrapping method. Dispersed PTFE resin and polyvinylidene fluoride resin are mixed with a liquid lubricant, and microporous PTFE hybrid flat membranes are prepared from the mixture through extrusion, calendaring, stretching and sintering. Then the microporous PTFE hybrid flat membranes are cut into membrane strips which wrap around supporting tubes, and finally the wrapped supporting tubes are sintered to obtain the hollow fiber membranes and the tubular membranes. The polyvinylidene fluoride resin added into the products of the invention has a melting point around 160 DEG C, fuses while sintered at a temperature between 250 and 340 DEG C, and can largely increase the hardness of the flat membranes after solidification, which facilitates slitting of the flat membranes. During the process of sintering after wrapping, the polyvinylidene fluoride resin contained in the flat membranes fuses again when sintered at a temperature between 260 and 340 DEG C, and thus can be used as overlapping parts between the wrapped flat membranes and as binders between the flat membranes and the microporous supporting tubes, so that the bonding strength is substantially improved.
