Abstract:

Objective In order to improve the mechanical properties and acid and alkali corrosion resistance of the separation membrane, polyvinyl chloride(PVC)/chlorinated polyvinyl chloride(CPVC) composite membrane with PVC mechanism mesh as the support layer was prepared. Membrane separation technology is widely used in petrochemical, biomedical, environmental protection, seawater desalination and other fields. Improving the mechanical properties and acid and alkali corrosion resistance of separation membranes would broaden the application range of separation membranes, improve the service life and save cost.

Method The polyvinyl chloride/chlorinated polyvinyl chloride flat sheet membrane was prepared by submerged phase separation method using PVC as raw material, CPVC as blended membrane material, N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) as solvent, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) 2000 as pore-former. The melt spinning process parameters were optimized for the preparation of polyvinyl chloride fibers filament, which was then made into PVC woven fabric. A composite membrane with asymmetric characteristics was constructed using polyvinyl chloride/CPVC flat sheet membrane as hydrophilic layer, and polyvinyl chloride braid as support layer.

Results The test results show that PVC-W-P (laminating film with PVC woven fabric as support body) has a dense microporous filtration layer, and the surface layer is closely connected to the support layer, forming a mechanical interlocking structure that enhances the interfacial bonding force, and the PVC support layer is successfully bonded to the bottom of the composite membrane. The surface roughness of the composite membrane increased, and the surface hydrophilicity improved. The water contact angle was reduced to 50°, the pure water flux was increased by 1.5 times, and the protein retention rate was increased by 4.6%. Under the condition of 6.25 mol/L NaOH and 2.55 mol/L H2SO4 solution treatment for 96 h, the mass loss rate of PVC fiber filament was more than 1% point, and the loss of breaking strength was 17% for 72 h. The PVC fibers were only partially hydrolyzed or degraded, and still retained most of the structural integrity. The breaking strength of PVC-W-P (laminating film with PVC woven fabric as support body) combined with PVC mechanism mesh was 17.6 times of that of PVC/CPVC-P (membranes without binding support bodies), and it was corroded by 2.55 mol/L H2SO4 and 6.25 mol/L NaOH solution for 72 h. Its breaking strength was 15.1 times and 15.6 times of that of PVC/CPVC-P (membranes without binding support bodies), respectively, and the PVC/CPVC-P after acid and alkali treatment had a retention rate decreased less. Comprehensively analyzing the influence of PVC/CPVC-P on the performance of PVC-W-P, the corrosion resistance to acid and alkali is greatly improved, and the composite membrane still has a greater strength after treatment with different concentrations of acid and alkali.

Conclusion PVC-W-P based on PVC woven mesh exhibits strong interfacial bonding, which significantly improves the hydrophilicity, mechanical properties and acid and alkali corrosion resistance of the composite membrane. Under acid and alkali conditions, PVC-W-P still maintains excellent mechanical properties and good filtration performance, which extends the service life of the composite membrane. This study provides a theoretical basis and reference for the preparation of composite membrane supports with excellent performance.
