Description

一种高脱气聚烯烃中空纤维膜及其制备方法与应用 技术领域
本申请涉及脱气膜材料领域,尤其涉及一种高脱气聚烯烃中空纤维膜及其制备方法与应用。
背景技术
因为聚烯烃原料丰富,价格低廉,容易加工成型,综合性能优良,所以聚烯烃是一类产量大,应用广泛的高分子材料。聚烯烃具有相对密度小、耐化学药品性、耐水性好等特点。聚烯烃可用于薄膜、管材、板材、各种成型制品和电线电缆等。
脱气膜是将液体中的气体,如二氧化碳、氧气、氨氮去除的膜分离产品。目前,制备这种膜的主要方法有拉伸致孔法和热致相分离法。其中,拉伸致孔法是通过熔融挤出将结晶性聚合物制成中空纤维膜或薄膜,通过后处理使聚合物沿挤出方向进行双向拉伸,改善膜孔形状大小和孔隙率;热致相分离法是一些聚合物材料在常温下不能溶解,提高温度至其熔融温度以上时可与一些小分子化合物(稀释剂)形成均匀溶液,降温后均相溶液发生固-液或液-液相分离而固化,脱除(稀释剂)后获得微孔材料。
专利CN107998903A公开了应用于膜蒸馏和膜脱气领域的一种聚丙烯中空纤维微孔膜的制备方法,该专利采用以聚丙烯为原料,高级脂肪胺环氧乙烷加成物为稀释剂,采用热致相分离法,获得聚丙烯中空纤维微孔膜。该专利制备的中空纤维微孔膜具有贯通、呈海绵状的微孔结构断面和微孔分布的表面。
上述专利通过热致相法制得具有内外贯通的多孔中空纤维膜,采用热致相 法制备的中空纤维膜需要添加稀释剂,最终制得的中空纤维膜中必然存在稀释剂的残留,而在超纯水的脱气处理过程中,这部分残留物易发生溶出反应,对超纯水的质量具有较大的影响,因此,上述热致相法制得的滤膜并不适合用于超纯水的制备领域。此外,内外贯通的多孔中空纤维膜虽然脱气效果较好,但内外贯通的微孔结构容易使流体流入,流体一旦流入会使膜丧失气液分离的能力,使用寿命较低。
通过本领域技术人员不断的探索,不对称中空纤维膜体现出优异的性能,其中,不对称中空纤维膜具有致密外表面(无法观察到的孔洞结构或可观察到极少数量的孔洞结构)和多孔结构的支撑层,致密外表面可有效避免流体流入中空纤维膜进而降低使用寿命。但目前不对称中空纤维膜的制备工艺并不成熟,如何制备一款具有较高孔隙率、脱氧效率高、机械强度大和使用寿命长的中空纤维膜这一问题一直困扰着研发人员。
发明内容
为了解决上述问题,本发明旨在提供一种高脱气聚烯烃中空纤维膜及其制备方法与应用,通过本申请制备的中空纤维膜具有较高脱氧效率,同时拉伸强度较大,提高了脱气聚烯烃中空纤维膜的性能,延长了使用寿命。
为实现上述目的,本发明提供了如下技术方案:
一种高脱气聚烯烃中空纤维膜,包括主体,所述主体的一侧为朝向内腔的内表面,另一侧为外表面,所述主体内具有非定向曲折通路,所述外表面为致密表面,所述内表面的透气孔面积率为10%-30%;所述中空纤维膜的平均厚度为45-65μm,所述中空纤维膜的平均外径与平均内径之比为1.45-1.55;所述中空纤维膜TOC溶出量不超过3μg/L;所述中空纤维膜的脱氧效率大于80%。
需说明的是,致密表面是扫描电镜在30000倍下拍摄时,其外表面的孔面积率(即孔洞面积:外表面积)不大于5%,即存在无法观察到的孔洞结构或可观察到极少数量的孔洞结构这两种情况。本申请主体的一侧为靠近内腔的内表面,另一侧为外表面,外表面为致密表面,具有较强的疏水性,使水分子难以通过而氧气可以通过,氧气在中空纤维膜内以努森扩散和粘性流并存的方式透过膜孔,当氧气靠近致密表面时,氧气以努森扩散方式透过膜孔,氧气传质阻力主要为氧气分子与膜孔壁的碰撞,氧气分子间碰撞概率大大减小,以湍流的方式在流道内通过,导致氧气透过速率逐渐减小;当氧气靠近内表面时,氧气发生对流,以粘性流方式透过膜孔,主要以层流流动的方式在流道内通过,随着膜孔径的逐渐增大,使氧气透过速率逐渐增大。当中空纤维膜的膜壁厚度增加时,氧气通过膜孔的方式中,粘性流流动的路径与努森扩散的路径之比增大,即增大了氧气分子在膜内以粘性流方式透过膜孔的距离,进而增大氧气透过速率,以使氧气的总流量增加,进一步增大了中空纤维膜的脱氧效率。努森扩散是气体在多孔固体中扩散时,如果孔径小于气体分子的平均自由程,则气体分子对孔壁的碰撞比气体分子间的碰撞要频繁得多。粘性流是膜孔径远大于气体分子平均自由程,气体分子间碰撞概率远大于气体分子与膜孔壁的碰撞概率。自由程是指一个分子与其它分子相继两次碰撞之间,经过的直线路程。对个别分子而言,自由程时长时短,但大量分子的自由程具有确定的统计规律。大量分子自由程的平均值称为平均自由程。
内表面的透气孔面积率为10%-30%,若透气孔面积率过大,则降低中空纤维膜的拉伸强度,进而降低其使用寿命;若透气孔面积率较小,则减少了氧气流通的通道,进而降低脱氧效率;同时当膜壁较厚时,合适的内表面的透气孔面 积率以提供足够多的气体流通面积,避免氧气在靠近内表面区域堆积,增大传质阻力,降低脱氧效率。本申请中空纤维膜的厚度为45-65μm,合适的中空纤维膜的平均外径与平均内径之比,使膜具有合适的氧气流通面积以及合适的内腔容积,以使氧气在内腔具有合适的流通速率;同时避免因中空纤维膜过厚,内径较小,导致内表面的表面积减小,进而减少了氧气流通的通道,增大了氧气扩散的阻力,降低脱氧效率;还可避免因中空纤维膜较薄,降低拉伸强度,进而降低其使用寿命。本申请具有合适的透气孔面积率、膜壁壁厚和中空纤维膜的平均外径与平均内径之比,使其增加氧气流通的通道,同时确保具有较强的拉伸强度。
又由于本申请的外表面为致密表面,孔隙率较低,疏水性较强,避免超纯水通过外表面孔洞进入膜内,即超纯水与外表面的接触面积很小,进而降低了中空纤维膜中有机物的溶出量,本申请中TOC溶出量不超过3μg/L,优选溶出量不超过0.5μg/L;此外,避免外表面孔洞被溶出的TOC堵塞,使氧气具有更好的氧气通过量,以使脱氧效果好。
综上,本申请中空纤维膜具有合适的厚度,外表面为致密表面,以使TOC的溶出量较低,且氧气分子在膜内以粘性流方式透过膜孔的距离较为合适,进而提高了氧气透过速率,同时内表面的透气孔面积率为10%-30%,中空纤维膜的平均外径与平均内径之比为1.45-1.55,使氧气具有足够的流通通道以及具有合适的内腔流通速率,以使中空纤维膜的脱氧效率高于80%;同时保证中空纤维膜具有足够大的拉伸强度。
进一步的,所述内表面具有若干椭圆形的透气孔,所述透气孔的长径取向为所述中空纤维膜的长度方向,所述透气孔的短径取向为所述中空纤维膜周向 方向,所述透气孔的平均长径为150-300nm,所述透气孔的平均短径为10-60nm,所述中空纤维膜的中空度为35%-55%。
在压力的作用下,本申请透气孔承受的应力集中于长径,若透气孔的平均长径过长,易导致孔洞坍塌;若透气孔的平均长径较短,则降低了透气孔的孔洞面积,增大了传质阻力,使氧气透过量降低,进而降低脱氧效率。本申请短径取向为中空纤维膜周向方向,椭圆的短径与长径之比为形状比,当形状比越接近1时,椭圆的长径与短径均需要承受一定的应力,若透气孔的平均短径过长,则中空纤维膜承受应力越大,越易发生破裂,本申请透气孔的平均长径为150-300nm,平均短径为10-60nm,使透气孔的结构更加稳定,不易坍塌或破裂,同时增加了膜孔内氧气分子的流通,进而增加了氧气透过速率,使其具有较好的脱氧效率。
本申请中空纤维膜的中空度为35%-55%,需要说明的是,中空度为实际有效内腔面积占外截面面积的百分数,通过公式1计算得出:
其中W为中空度,单位为%,S1为外截面的面积,单位为mm2;S2为有效空腔的面积,单位为mm2
若中空度越高,则有效膜面积越小,导致孔隙率降低,膜越薄,纤维越易压缩不易加工,同时降低膜的拉伸强度,且当膜在受到压力时,中空易变形,进而降低膜的性能;若中空度较小,即有效空腔面积较小,则降低了内表面的表面积,减少了氧气流通的通道,增大了氧气扩散的阻力,进而降低脱氧效率。本申请中空纤维膜具有合适的中空度,使膜具有较强的拉伸强度和更好的脱氧效率,同时中空纤维膜抗压,不易变形。
优选的,所述中空纤维膜的最大厚度与最小厚度之差不超过5um,且该差值不超过所述中空纤维膜平均厚度的10%;所述中空纤维膜的孔隙率为30%-50%,所述中空纤维膜是所述内表面的透气孔面积率的1.5-3.5倍。
本申请中空纤维膜的最大厚度与最小厚度之差不超过5μm,可见中空纤维膜的壁厚较为均匀,若该差值过大,则中空纤维膜的壁厚不均匀,使中空纤维膜内气体通过方式混乱,导致氧气在膜内通传质阻力增加,不利于氧气的通过,导致中空纤维膜各处气体通过量不均匀,进而降低脱氧效率,同时易导致其各处拉伸强度不均,进而降低中空纤维膜的拉伸强度。本申请中空纤维膜的孔隙率为30%-50%,使更多的氧气以粘性流方式在孔内通过,增大氧气的通过量,同时保证膜的拉伸强度。若中空纤维膜的孔隙率过大,易使膜的拉伸强度降低;若中空纤维膜的孔隙率较小,则降低膜的氧气通过量,进而降低脱氧效率。中空纤维膜是内表面的透气孔面积率的1.5-3.5倍,若倍数过大,则中空纤维膜的孔隙率较低,氧气通过量较低,进而降低脱氧效率;若倍数较小,则中空纤维膜的孔隙率较大,降低膜的拉伸强度。
再进一步的,所述透气孔的平均长径是平均短径的2-8倍;所述透气孔的最大长径与最小长径之差为150-350nm,所述透气孔的最大短径与最小短径之差为10-100nm。
在透气膜中透气孔的大小及均匀程度,直接影响中空纤维膜的性能,若透气孔的平均长径与平均短径之比过大,则透气孔轴向(膜的长度方向)承受的应力增大,易导致透气孔坍塌,进而降低膜的脱氧效率和拉伸强度;若透气孔的平均长径与平均短径之比较小,则降低了透气孔的平均孔面积,进而降低了氧气的通过量,进一步降低了脱氧效率。若最大长径与最小长径之差较大,则 透气孔在中空纤维膜的轴向分布不均匀,若最大短径与最小短径之差较大,则透气孔在中空纤维膜的周向分布不均匀,无论透气孔在中空纤维膜轴向分布不均还是周向分布不均,均易导致中空纤维膜拉伸强度不均,易发生断裂,进而影响中空纤维膜的性能,同时透气孔的大小分布不均匀,使得氧气在膜内的通过量不均匀,易增大氧气在流动道中的传质阻力,造成氧气透过速率降低,进而降低脱氧效率。本申请透气孔的平均长径是平均短径的2-8倍;透气孔的最大长径与最小长径之差为150-350nm,透气孔的最大短径与最小短径之差为10-100nm,使本申请制备膜具有较为均匀的透气孔,以使膜具有更高的脱氧效率及拉伸强度。
再进一步的,所述中空纤维膜周向方向上,若干个所述透气孔规则排布形成用于透气的透气区;所述透气区长度的方向与所述中空纤维膜的周向一致;所述透气区宽度的方向与所述中空纤维膜的长度方向一致;所述透气区的平均长度为400-1100nm,所述透气区的平均长度大于所述透气区平均宽度。
若干个透气孔规则排布形成一个透气区,中空纤维膜具有若干个透气区,透气区的平均长度大于透气区的平均宽度,透气区近似椭圆形,且平均长度为400-1100nm,当中空纤维膜承受压力时,使透气区具有稳定性,不易坍塌,进而使中空纤维膜的结构更稳定,不易变形。若透气区的平均长度过长,则易导致中空纤维膜周向支撑强度不足而发生变形或坍塌,进而影响膜的性能;透气区的平均长度较小,则易导致非孔洞面积增大,进而降低孔隙率。透气区的平均长度大于透气区平均宽度,以便保持中空纤维膜整体的拉伸强度,避免中空纤维膜长度方向的拉伸强度降低。
再进一步的,所述中空纤维膜的长度方向上,相邻两所述透气区之间的距 离为第一距离,所述第一距离的平均长度为100-350nm;所述中空纤维膜周向相邻两所述透气区之间的距离为第二距离,所述第二距离的平均长度为100-300nm;所述第一距离的平均长度为第二距离的平均长度的2-3倍;在所述透气区长度方向上相邻所述透气孔之间的平均间距为20-70nm;所述透气区的透气孔面积率为25%-70%,所述透气区的透气孔面积率比所述内表面的透气孔面积率高20%-50%。
本申请中透气区具有较高的透气孔面积率,中空纤维膜的长度方向相邻两透气区之间的距离为第一距离,中空纤维膜周向相邻两透气区之间的距离为第二距离。其中,第一距离与第二距离合适的尺寸对透气区具有支撑作用,避免当中空纤维膜承受压力时,因透气区具有较高的透气孔面积率(降低中空纤维膜的拉伸强度)而使其塌陷或断裂;又因为透气孔承受的应力集中于长径,即透气区承受的应力集中于透气区宽度方向,中空纤维膜承受的应力集中于长度方向,所以第一距离的平均长度的尺寸应相对较大,以提供足够的支撑。本申请第一距离平均长度的尺寸为第二距离平均长度的尺寸的2-3倍,若倍数较大,则降低中空纤维膜的孔隙率,若倍数较小,则当中空纤维膜承受压力时,中空纤维膜第一距离的支撑力不足,易导致透气区宽度方向坍塌或断裂。
由于透气区是内表面上气体透过的主要区域,在透气区长度方向上相邻透气孔之间为第三间距,第三间距的平均长度为20-70nm,第三间距的平均长度在一定程度上反映的是内表面上孔洞的多少,当第三间距的平均长度过大时,在内表面一定区域内孔洞的数量较少,较少的孔洞必然会影响脱气效率,同时使得气体透过的阻力大大增加,脱气过程中的压损大大增加;而第三间距的平均长度较小时,在内表面一定区域内会出现较多的孔洞(即在该区域内,孔洞面 积率是过高的,而实体面积率是过低的),那么这必然是一个大大的缺陷,在外力作用时,很容易造成孔洞的坍塌,从而使得脱气膜无法继续进行脱气作用,使用寿命较短。本申请透气区的孔洞面积率较高,这样才能使得膜丝具有较高的脱气速率;但透气区内的孔洞面积率不能过高,否则存在孔洞塌缩的风险,使用寿命过短;本发明中透气区内的孔洞面积率为30-70%,且所述透气区的孔洞面积率比内表面整体孔洞面积率高20-50%。这样的孔洞面积率进一步保证了中空纤维膜具有较高的脱气速率,同时还具有较强的尺寸稳定性。
再进一步的,所述外表面还具有若干银纹状的裂缝,所述裂缝的宽度不大于20nm;所述外表面的表面能为15-40mN/m。
本申请外表面还具有若干银纹状的裂缝,使外表面的气体通过量增加,进而增大了脱氧效率。若裂缝宽度较大,当中空纤维膜承受压力较大时,易导致液体透过裂缝进入膜内,进而降低膜的使用寿命,因此本申请裂缝宽度不大于20nm,即可增大外表面氧气的透过量,又确保液体不进入膜内。
需要说明的是,表面能是创造物质表面时对分子间化学键破坏的度量。若外表面的表面能过大,则导致外表面的表面张力较大,降低了外表面对液体的阻隔性,当中空纤维膜外表面承载较大压力时,易导致液体透过外表面进入膜内,使透气膜丧失气液分离的作用。若表面能较小,则导致外表面的表面张力过小,降低气体的透过量,进而降低脱氧效率。本申请外表面的表面能为15-40mN/m,使其具有合适的阻隔性能,保证气体较高的通过量,同时有效阻隔液体透过外表面进入膜内。
再进一步的,所述中空纤维膜的主体沿膜厚度方向具有皮层区和多孔区,所述皮层区与多孔区之间连续纤维过渡;所述皮层区的一侧为外表面,所述多 孔区的一侧为内表面;所述皮层区的厚度为0.5-4μm,所述皮层区的厚度占中空纤维膜厚度的1%-8%,所述皮层区的孔隙率不高于10%。
本申请皮层区的厚度为0.5-4μm,若皮层区较薄则降低膜的拉伸强度,若皮层区较厚,降低氧气的透过量,同时延长氧气在膜内的努森扩散路程,增大氧气的传质阻力,降低氧气的透过速率,进而降低脱氧效率。本申请皮层区的厚度占中空纤维膜厚度的1%-8%,使中空纤维膜具有较高的脱氧效率和拉伸强度;若小于1%-8%,则降低中空纤维膜氧气透过量,进而降低脱氧效率;若大于1%-8%,则降低中空纤维膜的拉伸强度。
再进一步的,所述多孔区的平均孔径由靠近内表面一侧的区域向靠近外表面一侧的区域呈梯度变化;所述多孔区的平均孔径变化梯度为1.5-3nm/μm,所述多孔区的孔隙率为40%-70%,所述多孔区的纤维直径为60-300nm。
本申请中多孔区呈梯度变化,且平均孔径变化梯度为1.5-3nm/μm,可见平均孔径变化梯度较为平缓,使氧气在膜内一直以较高的扩散速率进行扩散。若平均孔径变化梯度较大,则氧气在膜内的扩散方式,从努森扩散突变为粘性流,在突变过程中氧气消耗较大运动能,进而降低气体透过速率。本申请多孔区的纤维直径为60-300nm,以使多孔区具有合适的拉伸强度及孔隙率,本申请多孔区的孔隙率为40%-70%,以使氧气在中空纤维膜内具有较多流道,确保氧气的通过量。

S1、纺丝,将聚烯烃熔融挤出,在成腔流体的作用下形成具有中空内腔的半成型品;其中,所述聚烯烃的熔融指数为1-7g/min@(Tm+20℃,5kg),模头 挤出厚度为1.8-2.2mm,所述成腔流体的流速为0.01-0.05ml/min,所述聚烯烃为PE、PP和PMP中的任一种;
S2、预结晶,以空冷的方式对步骤S1中得到的半成型品进行冷却预结晶,得到预结晶半成品;
S3、风冷结晶,以吹风冷却的方式对步骤S2中得到的预结晶半成品进行二次冷却结晶,收卷,得到冷却半成品;
S4、退火定型,将步骤S3中得到的冷却半成品进行热定型处理,冷却后得到热定型半成品;
S5、两次冷拉致孔,将步骤S4中得到的热定型半成品进行第一次冷拉处理,所述第一次冷拉的速率为10-25%/min,所述第一次冷拉的拉伸倍数为15%-25%,得到一次冷拉半成品;对其进行第二次冷拉处理,所述第二次冷拉的速率为15-30%/min,所述第二次冷拉的拉伸倍数为5%-20%,得到二次冷拉半成品;
S6、热拉扩孔,将步骤S5中得到的冷拉半成品进行热拉扩孔,得到热拉半成品;
S7、热定型,将步骤S6中得到的热拉半成品进行二次热定型处理,冷却后得到中空纤维膜。
本申请中将聚烯烃进行熔融处理后挤出,同时通入成腔流体,使其形成未定型的半成品,其中成腔流体的通入可有效避免半成品内凹变形;随后对半成品以空冷的方式对其进行初步定型,形成预结晶半成品。对预结晶半成品以吹风冷却的方式进行冷却结晶,其具有合适的冷却温度、冷却长度及风速,使其结晶并具有合适的结晶度,同时达到合适的收卷温度后进行收卷,得到冷却的半成品。对冷却的半成品进行退火处理,以便消除内部缺陷。对冷却的半成品 进行两次冷拉处理,虽然两次冷拉的速率与拉伸倍率较为接近,但第二次冷拉是在第一冷拉的基础上进行的,即两次冷拉的方式实际上是冷拉速率不断变快和拉伸倍数不断增大的过程。若采用一次冷拉易使拉伸应力过大,不同片晶(存在易拉开片晶和难拉开片晶)的拉伸程度不同,导致制备的膜的孔径不均匀或结构塌陷,本申请采用两次冷拉,第一次冷拉中的拉伸速率和拉伸倍率产生的拉伸应力较小,使容易拉伸的片晶首先被拉开,第二次冷拉的拉伸速率和拉伸倍率均在第一冷拉的基础上进行,以便产生较大的拉伸应力将难拉开的片晶被拉开,进一步使分子链有足够时间松弛,以便解决微纤系带易被拉断和片晶拉开尺寸不均匀等问题,以使制备的膜孔径较为均匀,具有较高的孔隙率,同时两次拉伸的应力分布较为均匀,使制备膜的膜壁更加均匀。本申请采用两次冷拉,先通过小应力进行第一次拉伸,再提高拉伸应力进行第二次拉伸,使制备的膜具有合适的厚度,以使聚烯烃具有合适的取向度,进而增大膜的结晶度,同时膜壁厚度较均匀。
其中,熔融指数值越大,表示该材料的加工流动性越佳,使熔体流动速度更加均匀,致使膜壁厚度更加,反之则越差。当熔融指数较小时,分子链排列的阻碍增大,分子链扩散,晶相结构所需的活化能提高,造成分子链规整排列能力下降,从而使结晶度降低。熔融指数过大时,材料的可塑性变差,不易成型。本申请合适的熔融指数,使制备的中空纤维膜具有合适的厚度,使聚烯烃具有较高的结晶度,增大中空纤维膜的孔隙率,以致增加氧气分子在膜内以粘性流方式透过膜孔的距离;同时具有良好的加工流动性,使膜壁厚度更加均匀,提高原料加工效率,降低能耗和生产成本。本申请的成腔流体优选为氮气,具有合适的流速,若氮气流速过大,则半成品的内表面受力过大,易使其内表面 规整度降低,降低膜壁均匀度;若氮气流速较小,以致无法达到半成品形成内腔所需的支撑力,易使其表面塌陷。氮气合适的流速,使制备膜的膜壁厚度更加均匀。模头挤出的半成品厚度为1.8-2.2mm,若半成品厚度过厚,两次冷拉制备的膜厚度较厚且不均匀;若半成品厚度较薄,经过两次拉伸制备的膜较薄,降低拉伸强度。
本申请的两次冷拉均采用快速冷拉的方式进行拉伸成孔,得到冷拉半成品。在冷却拉伸成孔后,所形成的孔洞会回弹收缩,使平均孔径降低,厚度增加,因此对冷拉半成品进行热拉扩孔处理,使其具有合适的平均孔径,导致其具有合适的气体通过量。最后进行热定型处理,在合适的温度和时间下,对其形成的孔及膜厚度进行定型处理。冷拉的主要作用是将片晶拉开,并形成初始的微纤系带结构,而热拉的主要作用是将冷拉阶段产生的微孔扩大,片晶分离度增加并使微纤系带结构更加稳定。
进一步的,所述步骤S1中,所述模头挤出温度为(Tm+10)-(Tm+70)℃,所述聚烯烃的熔点为Tm;模头长径比为2-5;所述聚烯烃分子量为6万-10万,所述聚烯烃分子量分布指数为1-5。
本申请中模头挤出的温度为聚烯烃熔点以上10-40℃,优选为聚烯烃熔点以上15-38℃,聚合物熔体的流动粘度受温度影响较为显著,一般粘度随着温度的升高而降低。当模头挤出的温度过低时,使聚烯烃的粘度增加,增大挤出模头的阻力,使聚烯烃挤出量不稳定,进而导致膜厚度不稳定,同时熔体所受应力降低导致纤维的取向度降低,进而降低膜的结晶度,导致膜的拉伸强度和透气氧效率降低;当模头挤出的温度过高时,不但易导致聚烯烃发生热降解,力学性能明显下降,进而降低膜的机械性能;还易导致聚合物分子的链段活动能力 增加,熔体的流动性增大,使其粘度降低,使制备的膜的厚度降低,进而影响气体的通过量。本申请合适的模头挤出温度和熔融指数使制备的膜厚度更加均匀,且保证良好孔隙率,又确保具有较强的机械性能,同时在合适的摸头挤出温度范围内,当摸头挤出温度较高时,易使极少部分聚烯烃分解,使制备的膜的外表面具有银纹状裂缝。
模头长径比为螺杆有效长度和螺杆直径之比。当长径比较小时,挤出机的自由体积减小,出口膨胀效应越大,使大分子在孔道内受剪切力作用越小,所形成的规整结构越少,结晶度降低,制备膜的孔洞数量降低,使膜的孔隙率降低;同时无法有效的解决纺丝过程中产生的孔口胀大现象,进而影响膜的厚度以及制备膜的机械性能。孔口胀大现象,也称为巴拉斯效应,指当高聚物流体从小孔、毛细管或狭缝中挤出时,挤出物的直径或厚度会明显的大于孔口的尺寸。当长径比过大时,螺杆施加的压力过大,影响制备膜的性能。本申请合适的模头长径比使膜具有合适的结晶度且膜壁厚度均匀。
不同分子量及分子量分布对结晶度及晶核大小有一定的影响,由分子量的多分散性可知高、低分子量组分之间存在明显的相互作用,当分子量分布较宽时,则高、低分子量组分间相互作用增大,由于高低分子组分量的结晶速率不同,低分子量组分结晶速度快,先结晶,导致先结晶的高分子链“冻结”了为结晶的高分子链而使结晶度降低,同时低分子量组分的快速结晶限制了晶核的长大,导致晶核尺寸降低,使形成的孔较小,进而降低气体的通过量。若分子量分布变窄,高、低分子量组分之间相互作用下降,以相近的速度结晶,有利于晶核的生成,且使晶核分布趋于均匀,进而使制备的中空纤维膜孔洞分布较为均匀,进而具有合适的孔隙率及较大的机械性能,导致具有合适的气体通过 量及较大的拉伸强度。
因此本申请中聚烯烃具有合适的分子量,分子量为6万-10万,且分子量分布较窄,分子量分布为1-5,使本申请在制备中空纤维膜的过程中晶核分布趋于均匀,进而使制备膜的孔洞分布较为均匀,进而具有合适的孔隙率及较大的机械性能,具有合适的气体通过量及较大的拉伸强度。
再进一步的,所述步骤S1中,所述聚烯烃为PP时,所述PP的等规度大于99%,结晶度为45%-75%,熔融指数为2-5g/min@(190℃,5kg);或,所述聚烯烃为PE时,所述PE为mLLDPE,该mLLDPE的密度为0.91-0.93g/cm3,分子量分布指数为2-2.5,支化度为0.1-0.4;或,所述聚烯烃为PMP时,所述PMP的维卡软化点为160-170℃。
本申请的聚烯烃优选为PP,且PP的等规度大于99%。其中,等规度是指聚合物中全同立构和间同立构的聚合物占所有聚合物分子总的百分比,等规度越大PP的对称性越好、无支链或支链很少或侧基体积小的、大分子间作用力大的高分子容易相互靠紧,使其越容易结晶,进而在制备中空纤维过程中具有较好的结晶度,本申请PP的具有合适的结晶度和熔融指数,使PP具有良好的加工流动性,以提高原料加工效率,降低能耗和生产成本,同时使制备的膜厚度更加均匀,进而使膜形成的孔洞更加均匀,以使氧气通过膜孔的透过速率较为均匀,具有较好的气体通过量。
本申请中聚烯烃为PE时,优选为分子链结构较为规整的mLLDPE,当mLLDPE的支化度较高时,mLLDPE分子链中的短支链越多分子运动和进行有序排列的空间位阻越大,结晶度越低。本申请mLLDPE具有合适的支化度,使其具有较大的结晶度。当mLLDPE分子量分布较窄时,使得分子间作用力较大,有利于其分子 链机密堆砌,使得各个链段的运动速度更加接近,提高其结晶度。本申请mLLDPE具有合适的分子量分布指数,使其具有较大的结晶度。本申请的mLLDPE的密度为0.91-0.93g/cm3,其中,密度由共聚用单体在聚烯烃链中的浓度决定。共聚用单体浓度控制短支链数目(其长度取决于共聚用单体类型)从而控制树脂密度。由于mLLDPE中缺少长支链使聚合物不缠结,避免形成孔的孔径过大。综上,本申请mLLDPE制备的中空纤维膜具有较高结晶度,孔径分布均匀且平均孔径较小,进而中空纤维膜具有较高孔隙率,增加氧气在膜内流通的通道,以提高氧气在膜内的透过速度,使脱氧效率得以提升,同时保证了机械强度。其中,支化度(Degree of branching)是指在高分子链中分支点的密度或者是相邻支链之间的链段长度或者是链段的相对分子量。
当本申请聚烯烃采用PMP时,PMP的维卡软化点为160-170℃,使中空纤维膜受热时的尺寸稳定性好,热变形小,即耐热抗形变能力好,刚性大,模量高。
再进一步的,所述步骤S2中,所述空冷的温度比所述模头挤出温度低110-220℃,所述空冷的距离为30-1000mm。
模头挤出温度高于聚烯烃熔点温度,以便不影响表面的规整度,避免温度过低发生结晶影响其后续步骤中的结晶度,使聚烯烃处于熔融状态挤出形成半成型品,半成型品通过空冷的方式进行冷却,对半成型品进行定型。当空冷的温度过低时,使半成型品在定型的过程中直接形成结晶,进而导致结晶不均匀,使膜内孔径不均匀,进而降低氧气在膜内的透过速率。当空冷温度过高时,半成品定型不充分,在进行风冷结晶处理过程中,表面易造成凹陷,使膜的膜壁厚度不均匀,进而影响膜的性能。半成品空冷距离过长,熔融状态的物料易受 外界因素的影响产生抖动,膜的厚度也随之变化,造成膜壁厚度均匀性差;半成品空冷距离较短,使得定型不充分,使制备的膜的膜壁均匀相差。
本申请采用合适的空冷温度和空冷的距离,使得在空冷过程中不形成结晶,定型完全,同时避免所制备膜的膜壁厚度不均匀。
再进一步的,所述步骤S3中,所述预结晶半成品风冷的冷却长度为4-8m;风冷温度为40-70℃;所述风冷结晶过程中气流速度为30-60m/min。
需要说明的是,当风冷的温度过高时,无法使其外表面迅速冷却,进而无法形成致密表面,易使液体透过中空纤维膜,使其丧失液体脱气的效果。当风冷温度过低时,沿膜厚度方向迅速冷却的面积增加,进而增大了皮层的厚度,导致中空纤维膜的气体通过量降低。本申请具有合适的风冷温度,使其制备的中空纤维膜不但具有较大的气体通过量,而且具有较高的机械强度。
本申请合适的冷却温度使其外表面迅速冷却,使外表面形成致密表面,且具有皮层区,但内表面仍然处于高温状态,吹风冷却至合适的长度,在合理的长度范围内使内表面温度降至可收卷的温度,节省工艺成本。
风冷结晶过程中气流与预结晶半成品的相对速度为30-60m/min,若相对速度过快,外表面易塌陷,使膜的膜壁均匀性差;若相对速度过慢,使其冷却速度过慢,外表面无法形成致密表面,进而影响膜的性能。本申请合适的相对速度,使膜的外表面形成致密表面,且具有合适的气体通过量和机械性能。
再进一步的,所述步骤S5中,所述第一次冷拉的温度比所述聚烯烃的玻璃化温度高25-72℃,所述第二次冷拉的温度比所述聚烯烃的玻璃化温度高35-80℃。
本申请每一次冷拉温度均比聚烯烃玻璃化温度高,当冷拉的温度较高时, 相邻晶核之间易发生团聚,导致中空纤维膜的孔洞大小不均,孔分布不均;当冷拉的温度较低时,相邻晶核之间的纤维温度低时缺乏弹性,容易发生断裂,进而影响膜的性能,降低机械强度,影响膜的脱气效果。第一次冷拉主要是将容易拉伸的片晶首先被拉开,因此第一次冷拉温度不易过高,以避免片晶拉伸不均匀;第二次冷拉温度相较于第一次冷拉温度较高,以便将难拉开的片晶被拉开,同时避免第二次冷拉温度过高,导致中空纤维膜的孔洞大小不均,孔分布不均。本申请具有合适的第一次冷拉温度和第二次冷拉温度,使制备的中空纤维膜具有合适的平均孔径,且孔洞分布均匀,同时具有较强的拉伸强度,进而使中空纤维膜具有良好的气体通过量。
再进一步的,所述步骤S6中的热拉温度比所述步骤S5中第一次冷拉的温度至少高60-103℃;所述热拉速度为所述第一次冷拉速度的10%-30%;所述热拉为第一次冷拉的拉伸倍数的2-7倍。
当热拉的温度较高时,由于热诱导结晶和拉伸应力诱导结晶的发生,促使纤维快速结晶,导致大分子链段未能沿拉伸方向充分拉伸,同时在高温下聚合物分子链已发生断裂,从而无法达到扩孔的效果,降低中空纤维膜的拉伸强度。当热拉温度较低时,无法达到聚合物大分子链段自由分运动的温度,使半成品具有较低的弹性,导致拉伸不充分,或拉伸过程中纤维断裂,从而无法达到扩孔的效果。其中热拉采用多段、缓慢拉伸扩孔的方式进行,优选为5次热拉;且优选热拉的速度为第一次冷拉速度的10%,在合适的速度下进行快速冷拉,即可避免速度过快发生拉伸断裂,又可以使晶核快速断裂以至形成孔洞的大小更加均匀,本申请具有合适的热拉伸温度,且热拉温度比第一次冷拉温度高至少60-103℃,可达到拉伸扩孔的理想效果,同时具有较大拉伸强度,具有较大的 气体通过量,过滤效果好。
热拉速率过低时(可以理解的是,此处所谓的热拉速率,是在冷拉速率确定的基础上,以冷拉速率的倍率对热拉速率进行表征),拉伸应力有足够时间作用到各区域,此时,片晶的分子链以及片晶和无定形区边界处的分子链有足够时间发生松弛并被拉出,从而使部分片晶转化为微纤系带,微纤系带结构过多、片晶结构过少,导致微孔结构恶化。热拉速率过高时,拉伸应力分布不均匀、松弛时间较长的分子链来不及转变,最终导致只有部分松弛时间较短的分子链转变为微纤系带结构,并且,片晶和无定形区边界处的分子链容易被过当拉伸,从而堵塞产生的微孔结构,导致微孔闭合,微孔结构恶化。本申请中热拉伸具有合适的拉伸速率,使中空纤维膜在制备过程中,具有较多的片晶结构,使其具有较大的孔隙率,进而增大气体的通过量,同时增大气体透过速率。
拉伸倍数指纤维经拉伸后的长度与拉伸前长度的比值。当拉伸倍数较高时,拉伸应力较高,过高的拉伸应力破坏了纤维原有有序的晶区,降低了纤维的结晶度。当拉伸倍数较低时,无法达到预期的膜厚度和孔径尺寸。本申请热拉的拉伸倍数为第一次冷拉的拉伸倍数的2-7倍,使得制备的中空纤维膜具有合适的膜厚度和孔径尺寸,且不影响中空纤维膜制备过程中的结晶度。
冷拉和热拉两者是相互关联、相互影响的过程,两者的工艺参数之间存在较高的关联度,而并非是两个孤立的步骤,例如温度、拉伸速率和拉伸倍数等,对工艺参数进行调整时,必须对两者整体的工艺参数进行统一的调节。
再进一步的,所述步骤S4中,所述退火定型使温度降至75-150℃,退火定型时间为20-50min。
所述步骤S7中,所述热定型温度比退火温度高5-30℃;热定型时间为 0.5-3min。
需要说明的是,以上限定能够使纤维的内层在退火定型后具有较高的结晶度、良好的结晶规整度和取向度,因而在拉伸成孔时,能够获得良好的孔隙结构,而在热定型时,能够很好的消除纤维内层存在的应力残留,从而使纤维以及纤维上的微孔结构具有高度稳定性。而对于纤维的致密表面而言,特定的退火定型温度能够降低致密表面的结晶度、结晶取向度和规整度,从而降低拉伸成孔过程中致密表面产生微孔结构的可能,而在热定型时,较高的温度不但能够消除致密表面的缺陷,还能促进致密表面的结晶行为进行,提高致密表面的结晶度,从而提高致密表面的机械性能。
退火定型和热定型的各项工艺参数之间也是相互关联的,这是由于,退火定型后纤维的结晶度、晶型、规整度等,对于纤维的微孔结构影响都很大。而不同的片晶厚度、不同的微纤系带尺寸等,所需的热定型的工艺参数都不同。
还提供一种上述任意一项所述的高脱气聚烯烃中空纤维膜的用途,所述聚烯烃为PP,所述中空纤维膜用于超纯水中氧气的脱除,所述中空纤维膜的氧气渗透速率为15-30L/(min·bar·m2),所述中空纤维膜的拉伸强度不低于150CN,所述中空纤维膜的断裂伸长率为30%-150%。
本申请聚烯烃制备的中空纤维膜主要用于超纯水中氧气的脱除,具有较快的渗透速率,可达到15-30L/(min·bar·m2);同时具有较强的拉伸强度,不低于150CN;且断裂长率为30%-150%,使所制备的中空纤维膜具有较高的氧气透过速率,从而使其脱氧效率高于80%,同时使其具有较好的拉伸强度。
通过本申请能够带来如下有益效果:本申请提供的中空纤维膜具有较合适的厚度,膜的壁厚更加均匀,同时具有较大的结晶度、较高的孔隙率、以增加 氧气在膜内的流道和增大氧气在膜内的透过速率,进而使中空纤维膜具有较大的脱氧效率,同时保证中空纤维膜具有较大的拉伸强度。
