Preparation method of out-of-phase bipolar membrane not easy to fall off
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of bipolar membrane preparation, in particular to a preparation method of a heterogeneous bipolar membrane which is not easy to fall off.
Background
The polar membrane is also called bipolar membrane, and is an anion-cation exchange composite membrane prepared by compounding a cation exchange membrane and an anion exchange membrane. The membrane is characterized in that under the action of a direct current electric field, water between the anion exchange membrane and the cation exchange membrane is dissociated into H + and OH-which selectively pass through the anion exchange membrane and the cation exchange membrane respectively, so that the membrane is an H + and OH-ion source. The bipolar membranes are divided into two types, namely heterogeneous membranes and homogeneous membranes, and the preparation methods of the bipolar membranes in the prior art generally comprise the following methods: (1) the hot pressing formation process of anion and cation exchange film includes superposing dried anion and cation exchange film inside stainless steel plate covered with PTFE film, eliminating inner bubble, heating and pressurizing to obtain bipolar film. (2) The method for adhering and forming the anion-cation exchange membrane layer is to coat the inner sides of the anion-cation exchange membrane layer and the cation-cation exchange membrane layer with adhesives respectively, then to superpose, to remove the air bubbles and vacuoles inside, and to obtain the bipolar membrane after drying. (3) And (3) a casting forming method, namely covering a layer of polymer solution dispersed with cation exchange resin on the anion exchange membrane layer, or covering a layer of polymer solution dispersed with anion exchange resin on the cation exchange membrane layer, and drying to obtain the bipolar membrane. (4) The method is to introduce anion and cation exchange groups on both sides of the polymer basement membrane by chemical reaction method to prepare bipolar membrane. (5) The formation method of one film layer on another film layer by electrodeposition is that an ion exchange membrane is assembled in an electrolytic bath, ion exchange resin powder with opposite electric properties is suspended in an electrolyte, and direct current is supplied to deposit resin particles on the surface of the membrane to form the bipolar membrane.
In a plurality of preparation methods, the hot pressing method of the anion-cation exchange membrane layer does not need any additional chemical reagent and complex electrical equipment, and is environment-friendly and safe. However, the two layers of the anion exchange membrane and the cation exchange membrane are easy to separate in the use process of the bipolar membrane directly thermally pressed by the method, and scale is easy to deposit in a stripped gap, so that the performance of the membrane is attenuated, the hydrolysis voltage is increased, and even the membrane loses the effect.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method for preparing a heterogeneous bipolar membrane with less tendency to fall off in order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art.
