This invention belongs to the field of
hollow fiber membrane preparation technology, and discloses a braided tube-reinforced
polyvinylidene fluoride hollow
fiber hydrophobic membrane, its preparation method, and its application. The
polyvinylidene fluoride hollow
fiber hydrophobic membrane includes a braided tube and a hydrophobic
membrane layer formed on the surface of the braided tube. The outer
diameter of the braided tube-reinforced
polyvinylidene fluoride hollow
fiber hydrophobic membrane is 0.3-3 mm, the tensile
breaking strength is greater than 100 N, and the pure water permeability is 200-7500 L / (m²). 2 •h)@0.1MPa 20℃. The preparation method includes: preparing a
casting solution by combining polyvinylidene
fluoride resin,
organic solvent, composite pore-forming agent, and optionally
polytetrafluoroethylene microparticles; extruding the
casting solution onto the outer surface of a braided tube using a
hollow fiber membrane spinning machine, and forming a membrane through phase separation in a coagulation bath. This invention significantly improves the
mechanical strength of the membrane through braided tube reinforcement and achieves
high flux and high hydrophobicity using a water-inorganic-organic composite pore-forming agent, making it suitable for high-performance separation processes such as
membrane distillation, membrane contactors, and
gas separation.
