Background technique
In the energy resource structure in the whole world, there is no in the case where basic variation, the development of social economy is big there is still a need for consuming
The fossil energy of amount, and the use of fossil energy can bring a large amount of pollutants and CO2、SO2、H2The discharge of the acidity such as S, leads to one
Serial environmental problem, such as CO2A large amount of excess emissions will lead to greenhouse effects.For CO2The separation of equal sour gas, UF membrane
Technology has that low energy consumption, and occupied area is few, easy to operate, and easily amplification and control is easy to the combination of other processes, invests less, item
The advantages that part is mild is a kind of very with application prospect separation method.
In CO2Separation in, ether oxygen (EO) group is with it to CO2Wide pass is obtained with excellent permeability and separation performance
Therefore note, the material of the group containing EO also become UF membrane field focus of attention.Polyether block amide (Pebax), polyoxyethylene
Alkene-polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) (Polyactive), polyethylene glycol oxide-polyimide block copolymer, polyethylene glycol oxide-
Polyetherimide blocks' copolymer etc. is all the copolymer containing polyethylene glycol oxide (PEO) block.In addition to EO group, ester group, itrile group,
Amino groups are also to CO2With biggish dissolubility, it can be used to improve membrane material to CO2Solubility.Currently, gas separates
One important development direction of film is the structure optimization of composite membrane.In composite membrane, in order to obtain bigger permeation flux, often
It is required that gas separation membrane has relatively thin separating layer, most of materials cannot keep enough mechanical strengths at this time, therefore, usually
It needs to support counterdie.But be directly coated on separation layer materials on support counterdie, it is easy to the generation of bleed hole infiltration in this way,
Cause film properties poor.The polyether sulfone PES/Pebax-MWNTs composite membrane of the preparations such as Murali, selective separating > 10 μm, CO2
Permeation flux is less than 25GPU (Ind.Eng.Chem.Res., 49 (2010) 6530-6538).Although by counterdie and separating layer
Between introduce dimethyl silicone polymer (PDMS) middle layer can prevent hole seep generation, but due to the surface PDMS can it is lower,
Interfacial effect to hardly result in relatively thin zero defect separating layer on its surface.Currently, most of researchs are by repeatedly coating
PDMS is repaired, i.e., coats one layer of PDMS again in separating layer as protective layer, film-forming process is relatively complicated.
The present invention carries out processing modification to composite membrane middle layer by plasma technique, easily and effectively improves its surface
Can, be conducive to the coating for eliminating interfacial effect and ultra-thin zero defect separating layer, reduction applies hierachy number less, improves the preparation of composite membrane
