Description

Cellulose membrane for virus removal, preparation method and filtering membrane component
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of virus-removing filter membranes, in particular to a virus-removing cellulose membrane, a preparation method thereof and a filter membrane component.
Background
The virus removal filter membrane is used for intercepting viruses based on the effect of physical filtration, viruses meeting a specific size can be intercepted by the filter membrane with a specific pore diameter, and the interception effect is hardly influenced by the differences of physical and chemical properties and the differences of operating conditions of different viruses. Moreover, since the virus removal filter membrane is based on the action of physical filtration to retain viruses, it does not cause changes in the physical and chemical properties of viruses and useful proteins in the filtered solution. Therefore, the virus removal filter membrane can remove the virus content in the filtrate while collecting the useful protein filtrate, and has important application in the field of biological preparations.
The hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties of the virus removal filtration membrane have an important influence on the filtration performance of the filtration membrane. The virus removal filter membrane with poor hydrophilicity can adsorb proteins due to hydrophobic adsorption, so that the filter membrane is easy to block, the service time of the virus removal filter membrane is influenced, and the trafficability characteristic and the yield of the proteins are poor. For example, in US20200238221A1, a disclosure of which is filed by the company saidolis, in one embodiment, the filtering membrane is made of PES (polyethersulfone), and the poor hydrophilic property of PES is liable to cause the blocking of the membrane due to hydrophobic adsorption when the membrane is applied to the filtration of protein feed liquid, so that the filtering membrane made of PES is difficult to be applied to the filtration of medium and high concentration protein feed liquid.
Cellulose has a better hydrophilic property than PES, and is widely favored in the field of biological preparations. For example, patent publication No. CN105980038B, available from Asahi chemical industries, ltd., discloses a cellulose-based virus-removing film having an ability to capture colloidal gold particles of 20 nm. As shown by the spectrum measurement result, the position of capturing the colloidal gold is in a region of more than 25% and less than 85% of water entering the membrane, and the wide region ensures that the membrane has excellent virus removal capability. However, cellulose has a better hydrophilic property than PES, but is limited by the crystalline phase structure of cellulose itself, and the performance of protein passing performance of the cellulose membrane in the prior art is still poor when filtering high-concentration protein feed liquid.
In view of this, a new technical solution is necessary to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art.
Disclosure of Invention
The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cellulose membrane which is suitable for removing viruses from a protein solution and has excellent protein-passing performance.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
a cellulose membrane for virus removal suitable for removing viruses from a protein solution, wherein the cellulose membrane has a diffraction peak at 2θ=16.5° in an XRD pattern, and has a crystallinity at the 2θ=16.5° of 5 to 25% of the overall crystallinity to enhance protein passing performance of the cellulose membrane.
The diffraction peak of the cellulose film existing at 2θ=16.5° in the XRD pattern can reflect the crystallization condition of the cellulose skeleton structure. The inventor finds that the crystallinity of the cellulose skeleton structure influences the hydrophilic performance of the cellulose membrane, and the hydrophilic performance of the cellulose membrane can be improved by reducing the crystallinity of the cellulose skeleton structure.
The preparation method comprises the steps of solidifying a cellulose film in a coagulating bath containing a water-soluble strong-polarity non-solvent, changing the crystallinity of the cellulose film at 2θ=16.5 degrees in an XRD pattern, and controlling the crystallinity to be 5-25% of the whole crystallinity so as to improve the protein passing performance of the cellulose film.
Further, the cellulose film has a crystallinity at 2θ=16.5° in the XRD pattern of 15 to 20% of the overall crystallinity. When the crystallinity of the cellulose membrane at 2θ=16.5° is high compared with the overall crystallinity, the overall hydrophobic effect of the cellulose membrane is obvious, and blockage can occur due to the hydrophobic adsorption effect when filtering the protein solution; when the above-mentioned ratio is low, the whole skeleton of the cellulose appears as a less regular body, resulting in poor tensile strength of the cellulose film, which is unfavorable for use in production processing and filtration. Thus, preferably, the crystallinity of the cellulose film at 2θ=16.5° in the XRD pattern is controlled to be 15 to 20% of the overall crystallinity.
Further, the mass ratio of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen elements of the cellulose film is as follows: the carbon-oxygen ratio is 0.8-1.2, the carbon-nitrogen ratio is 4-8, and the oxygen-nitrogen ratio is 5-10. The cellulose membrane is prepared by solidifying the cellulose membrane in a coagulating bath containing a water-soluble strong-polarity non-solvent, and elements in the water-soluble strong-polarity non-solvent are reflected in the prepared cellulose membrane, so that carbon, nitrogen and oxygen elements of the cellulose membrane are changed, and the cellulose membrane has unique element content and microstructure.
Further, the cellulose membrane has a porosity of 60% to 80%. The cellulose membrane obtained by changing the crystallinity has higher porosity, better filtration flux and better protein trafficability.
Further, the cellulose membrane comprises a porous liquid inlet surface and a porous liquid outlet surface, wherein the average pore diameter of the porous liquid inlet surface is 50-700nm, and the average pore diameter of the porous liquid outlet surface is 10-50nm. Further, the thickness of the cellulose membrane is 80-100 μm, and the PMI average pore diameter thereof is 22-45nm. The cellulose film is prepared by curing in a coagulating bath containing a water-soluble strong-polarity non-solvent, so that the hydrogen bonding action in cellulose is weakened in the phase-splitting film forming process of the cellulose film in the coagulating bath, and thus, the cellulose film prepared by the method has relatively large pores.
Further, the average pore diameter of the cellulose film varies by not more than 3nm/μm in the thickness direction of the cellulose film. From the analysis of the cross-section structure, the liquid surface was extracted from the porous liquid inlet surface to the porous liquid outlet surface according to the pore diameter calculation of SEM, the average pore diameter variation of the membrane was not more than 3nm/μm, and the pore size had high uniformity.
Further, the peak region of the cellulose membrane capturing colloidal gold having a diameter of 20nm in a wet state is within a region of 2 to 8 μm from below the porous liquid inlet surface. The 20nm colloidal gold completes most interception within the distance of 2-8 mu m of the liquid inlet surface, so that more than 90% area of the membrane is an interception area.
Further, the water flux of the cellulose membrane is 100-160L/(m) 2 H) @30psi. The cellulose membrane of the application has higher water flux.
Further, the contact angle of water entering the liquid surface of the cellulose film is 10-22 degrees, and the contact angle of water exiting the liquid surface is 15-25 degrees.
Further, the immunoglobulin solution with a protein content of 30g/L is filtered at 30psi, the protein passage performance of the cellulose membrane is 500-650L/m 2 The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the Filtering an immunoglobulin solution having a protein content of 50g/L at 30psi, said cellulose membrane having a protein passage property of 300-400L/m 2 . The cellulose membrane of the present application exhibits excellent protein passage performance in filtering a feed solution having a high concentration of protein content.
Further, the cellulose in the cellulose membrane is cellulose II type. The cellulose membrane is cellulose II type regenerated cellulose and has better stability.
The invention is also realized by the following technical scheme:

preparing a casting solution, and placing the casting solution on a carrier plate;
placing the carrier plate into a coagulating bath for curing, wherein the coagulating bath contains a water-soluble strong-polarity non-solvent; and

The cellulose membrane is prepared by solidifying the cellulose membrane in a coagulating bath containing a water-soluble strong-polarity non-solvent, so that the crystallinity of the cellulose skeleton structure is changed, specifically, the specific gravity of the crystallinity of the cellulose skeleton structure to the whole crystallinity is reduced, and the protein passing performance of the cellulose membrane is improved.
Further, the water-soluble, strongly polar non-solvent in the coagulation bath comprises urea or thiourea. Urea or thiourea has strong polarity, biological safety and is easy to obtain, and is suitable for adding and applying in the coagulating bath for preparing the virus-removing film.
Further, the coagulation bath comprises 10-60% of water, 20-80% of non-solvent and 5-20% of the water-soluble strong polar non-solvent by weight ratio.
Further, the non-solvent in the coagulation bath comprises methanol, ethanol or isopropanol.

Further, the cellulose film produced by the production method has a diffraction peak at 2θ=16.5° in the XRD pattern, and its crystallinity at the 2θ=16.5° is 5 to 25% of the overall crystallinity. The inventor finds that the crystallinity of the cellulose skeleton structure influences the hydrophilic performance of the cellulose membrane, and the hydrophilic performance of the cellulose membrane can be improved by reducing the crystallinity of the cellulose skeleton structure. The preparation method comprises the steps of solidifying a cellulose film in a coagulating bath containing a water-soluble strong-polarity non-solvent, changing the crystallinity of the cellulose film at 2θ=16.5 degrees in an XRD pattern, and controlling the crystallinity to be 5-25% of the whole crystallinity so as to improve the protein passing performance of the cellulose film.

Some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1 to 5, the present invention discloses a cellulose membrane for virus removal, which is suitable for removing viruses from a protein solution, the cellulose membrane being prepared by solidifying in a coagulation bath containing a water-soluble strongly polar non-solvent, the cellulose membrane having a diffraction peak at 2θ=16.5° in an XRD pattern, and having a crystallinity at 2θ=16.5° of 5 to 25% of the overall crystallinity to improve the protein passing performance of the cellulose membrane.
The diffraction peak of the cellulose film existing at 2θ=16.5° in the XRD pattern can reflect the crystallization condition of the cellulose skeleton structure. The inventor finds that the crystallinity of the cellulose skeleton structure influences the hydrophilic performance of the cellulose membrane, and the hydrophilic performance of the cellulose membrane can be improved by reducing the crystallinity of the cellulose skeleton structure. The preparation method comprises the steps of solidifying a cellulose film in a coagulating bath containing a water-soluble strong-polarity non-solvent, changing the crystallinity of the cellulose film at 2θ=16.5 degrees in an XRD pattern, and controlling the crystallinity to be 5-25% of the whole crystallinity so as to improve the protein passing performance of the cellulose film.
Wherein the XRD pattern is obtained by X-ray diffraction test. Specifically, cu kα rays (λ=1.5406 a) are used as targets, the acceleration voltage is 40 kV, the current is 30 mA, the scanning range 2θ=10-30 °, and the scanning speed is 2 °/min. The overall crystallinity of cellulose is the ratio of the area of the crystalline diffraction peak in the XRD pattern to the total area of the XRD pattern; the crystallinity of cellulose at 2θ=16.5° is the ratio of the area of the diffraction peak at 2θ=16.5° in the XRD pattern to the total area of the XRD pattern. The peaks indicated by the three broken lines P1, P2 and P3 in FIG. 4 are peak-splitting diagrams of three diffraction peaks in the XRD pattern of cellulose, and the 2 theta values corresponding to the peaks of the three diffraction peaks from left to right are about 16.5 degrees, about 20.5 degrees and about 22.5 degrees in sequence, which correspond to the cellulose crystal structures respectivelyDiffraction of the (110) and (020) facets. XRD was used to calculate the crystallinity of the polymerThe crystallinity of cellulose can be determined by a peak height method, a deconvolution method, and a standard method based on the test results of XRD, a common method. The crystallinity calculation method used in the present application is a deconvolution integration method, and the applicant calculates the crystallinity of cellulose by a peak height method, and from the results, although the results are not completely consistent, the crystallinity at 2θ=16.5° still accounts for about 5-25% of the overall crystallinity.
Preferably, the cellulose film has a crystallinity of 15-20% of the overall crystallinity at 2θ=16.5° in the XRD spectrum. When the crystallinity of the cellulose membrane at 2θ=16.5° is high compared with the overall crystallinity, the overall hydrophobic effect of the cellulose membrane is obvious, and blockage can occur due to the hydrophobic adsorption effect when filtering the protein solution; when the above-mentioned ratio is low, the whole skeleton of the cellulose appears as a less regular body, resulting in poor tensile strength of the cellulose film, which is unfavorable for use in production processing and filtration. Thus, preferably, the crystallinity of the cellulose film at 2θ=16.5° in the XRD pattern is controlled to be 15 to 20% of the overall crystallinity.
The cellulose membrane is prepared by solidifying the cellulose membrane in a coagulating bath containing a water-soluble strong-polarity non-solvent, and elements in the water-soluble strong-polarity non-solvent are reflected in the prepared cellulose membrane, so that carbon, nitrogen and oxygen elements of the cellulose membrane are changed, and the cellulose membrane has unique element content and microstructure. In some embodiments, the cellulose film has a carbon, nitrogen, oxygen element mass ratio that satisfies: the carbon-oxygen ratio is 0.8-1.2, the carbon-nitrogen ratio is 4-8, and the oxygen-nitrogen ratio is 5-10.
The porosity of the cellulose membrane is 60% -80%. The cellulose membrane obtained by changing the crystallinity has higher porosity, better filtration flux and better protein trafficability. The cellulose membrane comprises a porous liquid inlet surface and a porous liquid outlet surface, wherein the average pore diameter of the porous liquid inlet surface is 50-700nm, and the average pore diameter of the porous liquid outlet surface is 10-50nm. Further, the thickness of the cellulose membrane is 80-100 μm, and the PMI average pore diameter thereof is 22-45nm. The cellulose film of the present application is cured in a coagulation bath containing a water-soluble strongly polar non-solvent such that the cellulose film is in the coagulation bathThe hydrogen bonding in cellulose is weakened during the phase separation film forming process, so that the cellulose film prepared by the method has relatively large pores. The cellulose membrane has higher water flux, and the water flux of the cellulose membrane is 100-160L/(m) through experiments 2 H) @30psi. From the analysis of the cross-section structure, the liquid surface was extracted from the porous liquid inlet surface to the porous liquid outlet surface according to the pore diameter calculation of SEM, the average pore diameter variation of the membrane was not more than 3nm/μm, and the pore size had high uniformity. The change in average pore size of the membrane can be calculated as follows: dividing the section into 20-30 parts according to the thickness, calculating and counting the pore diameter in each part, and calculating the average pore diameter in each part to obtain the average pore diameter change rate from the liquid inlet surface to the liquid outlet surface.
As is apparent from the 20nm colloidal gold retention curve shown in FIG. 5, the pulse signal of the colloidal gold content at the position 2-8 μm from the inlet level is stronger from the porous inlet level to the porous outlet level, reflecting that the gold content reaches the peak value at the position, and the gold content is almost consistent at the rest positions. That is, the peak region of the colloidal gold having a diameter of 20nm captured by the cellulose membrane in the wet state is in the region of 2 to 8 μm from below the porous liquid inlet surface, particularly in the region of 4 to 6 μm. This indicates that the 20nm colloidal gold completes most of the entrapment within a distance of 2-8 μm from the liquid inlet surface, and more than 90% of the area of the membrane is the entrapment zone.
Immunoglobulin solutions having a protein content of 30g/L were filtered at 30psi using some examples of the cellulose membranes of the present application having protein passage properties of 500-650L/m 2 The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the Filtering an immunoglobulin solution having a protein content of 50g/L at 30psi, said cellulose membrane having a protein passage property of 300-400L/m 2 . As can be seen, the cellulose membranes of the present application exhibit excellent protein passage properties in filtering feed solutions of high protein content.
The cellulose membrane is cellulose II type regenerated cellulose and has better stability.
The invention also provides a preparation method of the cellulose membrane for virus removal, which comprises the following steps:
preparing a casting solution, and placing the casting solution on a carrier plate;
placing the carrier plate into a coagulating bath for curing, wherein the coagulating bath contains a water-soluble strong-polarity non-solvent; and

Specifically, in some embodiments, the coagulation bath comprises 10-60% water, 20-80% non-solvent, and 10-20% of the water-soluble, strongly polar non-solvent by weight; in some embodiments, the non-solvent in the coagulation bath comprises methanol, ethanol, or isopropanol.

The final characterization means of the hydrolysis is that the final characterization means is verified by infrared until the carbonyl peak of the cellulose acetate completely disappears, and the complete regenerated cellulose is obtained.
The cellulose film produced by the above-described production method has a diffraction peak at 2θ=16.5° in the XRD spectrum, and its crystallinity at the 2θ=16.5° is 5 to 25% of the overall crystallinity.

The overall PMI average pore diameter, the liquid inlet average pore diameter, and the liquid outlet average pore diameter of the cellulose membranes produced in examples 1 to 8 are larger than those of comparative examples 1 to 5, and the liquid inlet water contact angle of the cellulose membranes produced in examples 1 to 8 is about 10 ° to 22 °, and the liquid outlet water contact angle is about 15 ° to 25 °. The cellulose films produced in examples 1 to 8 were different in the ratio of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen elements as compared with comparative examples 1 to 5.
The cellulose membranes obtained in examples 1 to 8 and comparative examples 1 to 5 above were tested for virus retention and protein passage properties, and experimental data were obtained as shown in Table 4 below.
As shown in Table 4, the cellulose membrane bilayers prepared in examples 1-8 have an LRV of greater than 4 when used, meeting the virus retention requirements. Meanwhile, the cellulose membranes prepared in examples 1 to 8 were significantly higher in water flux than comparative examples 1 to 5, and the protein passing performance was significantly higher than comparative examples 1 to 5. The protein passage performance is expressed in terms of protein load, which in this application refers to the amount of protein that passes through a unit area of cellulose membrane.
Wherein, the data of the protein load is obtained by the following test, and the cellulose membrane double-layer filtration in examples 1-8 of the application is used for testing, and the test process is as follows: the polyclonal antibody IgG immunoglobulin antibody solution is used as protein filtering feed liquid to be filtered, and is respectively diluted into 30g/L and 50g/L; the test was performed using a Millipore virus max test unit plus a 25mm stainless steel membrane change filter, the filtration volume at this time was recorded every 20min and the current protein filtration throughput was calculated until final passageThe counting was stopped at 25% of the initial protein throughput, resulting in the protein load data in table 4. As can be seen, the protein loading of the cellulose membrane was about 500-650L/m by filtering an immunoglobulin solution having a protein content of 30g/L at 30psi 2 While comparative examples 1-5 were in an amount of about 60-90L/m 2 The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the Filtering an immunoglobulin solution having a protein content of 50g/L at 30psi, said cellulose membrane having a protein loading of about 300-400L/m 2 While the amounts of comparative examples 1 to 5 were about 35 to 55L/m 2 . It is evident that the cellulose membranes of the present application exhibit excellent protein passage properties in filtering feed solutions of high protein content. The performance of the entrapped virus was reduced compared to the bilayer, whereas the protein loading performance was comparable to the bilayer, when tested on a single-layered cellulose membrane. In order to ensure the virus interception performance, in a practical application, a filtration membrane component is formed by laminating a plurality of cellulose membranes. That is, the present invention also provides a filtration membrane module having a plurality of layers of the cellulose membrane as described above stacked, wherein the filtration membrane module is formed to have a virus-free LRV value of greater than 4. The filtration membrane module may comprise 2, 3 or more layers of cellulose membranes.
As can be seen from the above description, the virus-removing cellulose membrane and the method for preparing the same according to the present invention, by adjusting the components of the coagulation bath, changes the final structure of regenerated cellulose, and the prepared virus-removing cellulose membrane has a unique structure, thereby bringing about superior hydrophilic properties; as can be seen from the scanning electron microscope of the longitudinal section of the cellulose film, the cellulose film has ultrahigh symmetry; it can be seen from experimental data that the regenerated cellulose virus-removing membrane prepared by the method has a uniform pore size distribution. The high uniformity and the super-excellent hydrophilicity of the pore size distribution of the regenerated cellulose membrane provided by the application enable the regenerated cellulose membrane to show super-high protein loading in the field of filtering high-concentration proteins, namely, the regenerated cellulose membrane has excellent protein passing performance and can be applied to the filtration of antibodies with different aggregation degrees and different concentrations, various immunoglobulins and other solutions.
