Preparation method of high-strength high-flux oil-water separation membrane and oil-water separation membrane
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of oil-water separation membrane preparation, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a high-strength high-flux oil-water separation membrane and the oil-water separation membrane.
Background
In recent years, there has been a rapidly increasing demand for materials capable of efficiently and rapidly separating oil-water mixtures and oil-water emulsions. The existing oil-water separation technologies can be classified into the following categories: such as suspended gravity, centrifugal sedimentation, biological treatment, and electrodeposition. However, these techniques have more or less disadvantages such as low separation efficiency, high separation cost, easy generation of secondary pollution problem, etc., which greatly limit their applications. Research in recent years shows that the oil-water separation material taking the membrane as the substrate is proved to have good application prospect when being used for oil-water separation.
Inspired by the phenomenon that lotus leaves show hydrophobicity, researchers found that these materials with specific wettability to water can be applied to selective separation of oil or water. When the water contact angle of the surface of the material is more than 150 degrees, the material is super-hydrophobic, and simultaneously, the oil contact angle is less than 10 degrees, so that the material is super-oleophilic; on the contrary, the materials with the specific wettability are the materials which we want to obtain and the research direction is that the water contact angle is less than 10 degrees and the oil contact angle is more than 150 degrees and the materials are super-hydrophilic and super-oleophobic. In addition, the scholars also find that when the material shows a dimension result of micron or nanometer, namely larger roughness, the material has a good effect of improving the affinity and the hydrophobicity of the material.
Electrospinning is an efficient method for producing fibrous membranes composed of fibers of micro-nanometer size. Electrospun fibers have been demonstrated to be widely used in the fields of controlled drug release, air filtration, wound management, and the like. The electrostatic spinning fiber membrane has the characteristics of high specific surface area, which is very needed in oil-water separation application, and in addition, the electrostatic spinning fiber has a porous structure. The electrospun fiber membrane is a very suitable material for oil-water separation based on the advantages described above. However, electrospun membranes generally have a disadvantage of poor mechanical properties.

Electro-spinning PAA film and imidizing process:
spinning with 1-5% (wt) PAA DMAc solution in 30kV high voltage electrostatic field with receiving distance of 10-15cm, flywheel rotation speed of 2000-3000 rpm, spinning speed of 0.5-1.0mL/h, and device as shown in FIG. 1. And imidizing the electrospun PAA nanofiber membrane in a tubular furnace according to the programmed temperature rise method of 150 ℃/1h, 200 ℃/1h, 250 ℃/1h, 300 ℃/1h, 350 ℃/3h and 380 ℃/30min to obtain the PI membrane.
Preparation of PDA/PTFE-PI film:
first, 0.40mL of 28% ammonia was added to 100mL of a water/ethanol mixture (7: 3, V/V). 0.2 g dopamine hydrochloride was then added to the mixture and stirred to give a PDA solution. Before modifying the PI film, the PI film is washed by acetone and distilled water for three times respectively and then soaked into a PDA solution. After stirring for 12h, taking out the PI film, drying the PI film for one hour at room temperature, putting the PI film into a vacuum oven at 60 ℃ for 30 minutes to obtain a PDA-PI film, immersing the PDA-PI film into the PTFE dispersion liquid, stirring for 4h, and drying the PI film in the vacuum oven at 60 ℃ to finally obtain the PDA/PTFE-PI nanofiber film.
Example 2:
oil-water separation test:
(1) 10mL portions of methylene chloride and water were measured, wherein the methylene chloride was stained with oil red and the water was stained blue with methyl blue. Standing the oil-water mixed solution for 1min, and separating oil from water. Water dyed blue was on the top layer, red oil was on the bottom layer, and PDA/PTFE-PI nanofiber membrane was fixed between two glass tubes. Then pouring the layered mixed solution into the upper glass tube for oil-water separation. The red color quickly permeated through the PDA/PTFE-PI nanofiber membrane and flowed into the beaker below, while the blue water remained in the glass tube above and the time to complete separation of the oil from the water was recorded and the volume of water before and after separation was measured, as shown in figure 4.
(2) Different oil-water mixtures (dichloromethane-water, bromobenzene-water, carbon tetrachloride-water, trichloromethane-water and 1,2 dichloroethane-water according to 1) are respectively selected for oil-water separation experiments.
Measurement of separation efficiency:
the liquid flow rate is calculated according to the following formula:
where V is the volume of liquid filtered, A is the effective membrane area, and Δ t is the time required for the liquid to pass through the membrane. The separation efficiency was calculated by the following formula:
wherein, V0Volume of water before filtration, V1Is the volume of water filtered.
The experimental results are as follows:
characterization of the membrane:
the average fiber diameter was about 300 nm. After treatment with the PDA solution, the surface of the PI nanofiber is covered by a layer of PDA, and a coarse micro-nano level hierarchical structure is formed. After treatment with the polytetrafluoroethylene dispersion, the presence of PTFE nanoparticles was clearly seen.
Wetting Performance testing of PDA/PTFE-PI membranes
The contact angle of the oil and water of the PI film before and after modification is tested by using a contact angle experimental instrument, and fig. 2a shows that the contact angle of the PDA/PTFE-PI nanofiber film to water is about 151 °, which indicates that the surface of the PDA/PTFE-PI nanofiber film is superhydrophobic and can completely repel water, and meanwhile, the state can be stable for more than 30 minutes, which means that the superhydrophobic performance is relatively stable. Contact angle of the oil was measured underwater using 1, 2-Dichloroethane (DCE) and it can be seen that DCM penetrates completely into the membrane in less than 1s, the contact angle being 0 °, as shown in fig. 2b and 2 c.
Oil-water separation and determination:
as a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the maximum flow rate of the PDA/PTFE-PI nanofiber membrane was 6000 L.m-2h-1(FIG. 5a), which far exceeds the commercial use of filtration membranes (20-200 L.m) reported so far-2h-1). In addition, in fig. 5b, the membrane has excellent separation capability for various oil-water mixture systems, and the separation efficiency can reach more than 99%. The result shows that the prepared PDA/PTFE-PI nanofiber membrane can be used for treating oil-water mixtures in large batch and is suitable for industrial production.
Stability testing of the membranes:
in the practical application process of oil-water separation, the stability of the wettability of the fiber membrane is a very important parameter. Fig. 6 shows that the PDA/PTFE-PI nanofiber membranes showed little change in flow rate (fig. 6a) and separation efficiency (fig. 6b) for the DCM-water mixed system after 10 cycles. In addition, we also tested the temperature performance of the PDA/PTFE-PI nanofiber membranes in high temperature environments as well as harsh environments. Chemical stability is achieved by changing the pH of the environment, from 1 to 13 inclusive (fig. 7 a). And the membrane is placed at different temperatures of 20 ℃ to 140 ℃, the water contact angle of the fiber membrane is measured (figure 7b), and the results prove that the water contact angle of the fiber membrane can be stably maintained above 150 ℃ under two environments, and the fiber membrane can still be used for separating oil-water mixtures under extremely severe conditions.
The PDA/PTFE-PI nanofiber membrane is prepared by modifying a PI membrane by adopting PDA and PTFE, and the research of the inventor finds that the PDA, the PTFE and the PI membrane of the invention have synergistic effect, and if the PTFE is replaced by SiO2The oil-water separation effect and the mechanical property are obviously reduced, and the hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties are obviously reduced only by adopting the PTFE modified PI film.
The super-hydrophobic super-oleophylic nanofiber membrane with high flexibility and high mechanical strength, prepared by the method, has the characteristics of high mechanical strength of polyimide and oleophylic and hydrophobic properties of polydopamine composite polytetrafluoroethylene dispersion liquid. The modified fiber membrane can effectively separate various oil-water mixtures, and the separation flow is up to 6000 L.m-2h-1The separation efficiency can reach more than 99 percent, and the compressive strength reaches more than 300 MPa. In addition, the fiber membrane can still maintain higher stability under various extreme conditions, the method for preparing the fiber membrane is simple, and the fiber membrane has good application prospect in the field of oil-water separation.
