Preparation method of firm and organic solvent-resistant cation exchange membrane
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of ion exchange membranes, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a firm and organic solvent-resistant cation exchange membrane.
Background
With the rapid progress of technology, the development of advanced composite membranes for ion energy extraction or ion removal of high-purity organic solvents for high-technology industrial production has received great attention. In particular, the ion exchange membrane, which is a core element of electrodialysis technology, has unique advantages in terms of ion desalination or high-concentration brine concentration, etc., as compared with other pressure-driven membranes. Ion exchange membranes are mainly divided into anion exchange membranes and cation exchange membranes, and are currently used in the processes of desalination, salt concentration, salt extraction and the like.
However, due to the limitation of complex components of the water environment, the traditional ion exchange membrane material cannot meet the increasingly updated actual industrial requirements. The current cation exchange membrane may be chemically degraded in the environment of strong organic solvent aqueous solution, so that the ion exchange capacity is reduced, and the ion desalting performance is affected. This phenomenon greatly causes failure of the membrane function, limiting the application of the membrane; meanwhile, the service life of the membrane is also reduced, and the cost for replacing the membrane is increased. For example, the inclusion of small amounts of salts in organic solvent solutions can result in reduced device performance during the fabrication of high-end, high-precision, technology material devices using organic solvent etching.
Thus, finding and designing suitable membrane materials for preparing strong and organic solvent resistant cation exchange membranes has become an ongoing need for development.
The Kevlar nanofiber is an ultra-tough material and has wide application in the fields of aerospace, body armor manufacturing, high-temperature-resistant and organic corrosion-resistant protective clothing and the like.
