STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF COMPOSITE POLYURETHANE HOLLOW FIBER MEMBRANES

Composite polyurethane(PU)-SiO_2 hollow fiber membranes were successfully prepared via optimizing thetechnique of dry-jet wet spinning,and their pressure-responsibilities were confirmed by the relationships of pure water flux-transmembrane pressure(PWF-TP)for the first time.The origin for this phenomenon was analyzed on the basis of membranestructure and material characteristics.The effects of SiO_2 content on the structure and properties of membrane wereinvestigated.The experimental results indicated that SiO_2 in membrane created a great many interfacial micro-voids andplayed an important role in pressure-responsibility,PWF and rejection of membrane:with the increase of SiO_2 content,theability of membrane recovery weakened,PWF increased,and rejection decreased slightly.

CO2/CH4 separation using inside coated thin film composite hollow fiber membranes prepared by interfacial polymerization

Carbon dioxide(CO_2) is greenhouse gas which originates primarily as a main combustion product of biogas and landfill gas. To separate this gas, an inside coated thin film composite(TFC) hollow fiber membrane was developed by interfacial polymerization between 1,3–cyclohexanebis–methylamine(CHMA) and trimesoyl chloride(TMC). ATR-FTIR, SEM and AFM were used to characterize the active thin layer formed inside the PSf hollow fiber. The separation behavior of the CHMA-TMC/PSf membrane was scrutinized by studying various effects like feed gas pressure and temperature. Furthermore, the influence of CHMA concentration and TMC concentration on membrane morphology and performance were investigated. As a result, it was found that mutually the CHMA concentration and TMC concentration play key roles in determining membrane morphology and performance. Moreover, the CHMA-TMC/PSf composite membrane showed good CO_2/CH_4 separation performance. For CO_2/CH_4 mixture gas(30/70 by volume) test, the membrane(PD1 prepared by CHMA 1.0% and TMC 0.5%) showed a CO_2 permeance of 25 GPU and the best CO_2/CH_4 selectivity of 28 at stage cut of 0.1. The high CO_2/CH_4 separation performance of CHMA-TMC/PSf thin film composite membrane was mostly accredited to the thin film thickness and the properties of binary amino groups.

Preparation and Characterization of Alumina-coated Hollow Quartz Fiber Reinforced Al_(2)O_(3)-SiO_(2) Aerogel Composite

Al_(2)O_(3)–SiO_(2)sols were synthesized by using aluminum chloride hex hydrate and tetraethoxysilane(TEOS)as precursors,deionized water and ethanol mixture as the solvent,and propylene oxide as the coagulant aids.Alumina coatings were prepared on the surfaces of hollow quartz filament fiber,then a new lightweight and thermal insulating material were successfully prepared by impregnatingAl_(2)O_(3)–SiO_(2)sol into a needle fabric made by coated hollow quartz filament fiber.The coated quartz fiber,aerogels and composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),X-ray diffraction(XRD),energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS),nitrogen adsorption-desorption(BET),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),and tensile tests.The effects of different fiber and calcination temperatures on the microstructures and properties ofAl_(2)O_(3)–SiO_(2)composite aerogels were investigated.The test results indicate that the mechanical properties of the aerogels are improved by introducing quartz filament fabrics and the introduction of alumina coating improves the thermal stability of the material.Compared to other fibers,Al_(2)O_(3)-coated hollow quartz fiber has significant advantages as reinforcement for composite,and their tensile strength is well retained after high temperature heat treatment.

PREPARATION OF POLYVINYLIDENE FLUORIDE/POLYVINYL DIMETHYLSILOXANE COMPOSITE HOLLOW FIBER MEMBRANES AND THEIR SEPARATION PROPERTIES

Microporous polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF)hollow fibre membranes were spun using the dry-wet phaseinversion method.By means of dip-coating technique,a uniform coating with thickness of around 5-12 μm of polyvinyldimethylsiloxane(PVDMS)was formed on the surface of porous PVDF hollow fibers.The structural parameters of PVDFsubstrate membrane were estimated by gas permeation test.Using N_2/O_2 as the medium,the separation properties ofPVDMS-PVDF composite hollow fiber membranes were also evaluated experimentally.The experimental data of bothpermeability and selectivity are in good agreement with the theoretical results predicted by the presented pore-distributionmodel.In order to obtain the compact composite membrane free of defects by the dip-coating technique,the thickness ofPVDMS skin must be higher than 5 μm.

Stress Distribution in Composites with Co-Phase Periodically Curved Two Neighboring Hollow Fibers

In this paper,stress distribution is examined in the case where infinite length co-phase periodically curved two neighboring hollow fibers are contained by an infinite elastic body.The midline of the fibers is assumed to be in the same plane.Using the three-dimensional geometric linear exact equations of the elasticity theory,research is carried out by use of the piecewise homogeneous body model.Moreover,the body is assumed to be loaded at infinity by uniformly distributed normal forces along the hollow fibers.On the inter-medium between the hollow fibers and matrix surfaces,complete cohesion conditions are satisfied.The boundary form perturbation method is used to solve the boundary value problem.In this investigation,numerical results are obtained by considering the zeroth and first approximations to calculate the self-equilibrium shear stresses and normal stress at the contact surfaces between the hollow fibers and matrix.Numerous numerical results have been obtained and interpreted about the effects of the interactions between the hollow fibers on this distribution.

Sodium alginate-polyvinyl alcohol/polysulfone (SA-PVA/PSF) hollow fiber composite pervaporation membrane for dehydration of ethanol-water solution

Using polysulfone （PSF） hollow fiber ultrafiltration membranes as the substrate, sodium alginate （SA） and polyvinyl alcohol （PVA） blend solutions as the coating solution, and maleic anhydride （MAC） as the cross-linked agent, SAPVA/PSF hollow fiber composite membranes were prepared for the dehydration of ethanol-water. The effects of different sodium alginate concentration in the coating solutions and different operating temperatures on pervaporation performance were investigated. The experimental results showed that pervaporation performance of the SA-PVA/PSF composite membranes for ethanol-water solution exhibited a high separation factor although they had a relatively low permeation flux. As SA concentration in SA-PVA coating solution was 66.7% and the operating temperature was 40 ℃, SA-PVA/PSF hollow fiber composite membrane （PS4） had a separation factor of 886 and flux of 12.6 g/（m^2·h）. Besides, SA-PVA/PSF hollow fiber composite membranes （PS3 and PS4） were used for the investigation of the effect of ethanol concentration in the feed solution on pervaporation performance.

Poly （N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate）-poly （ethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate） （PDMAEMA-PEGMEMA） and cesium fluoride （CsF） were blended and used as the separation material of composite membranes.Hollow fiber composite membranes were fabricated by coating the blend on polysulfone （PSf） hollow fiber substrate.Introduction of fluorine ion improved the separation performance of the membrane.The concentration of coating solution was adjusted to obtain a membrane with high permeance.The composite membrane showed good performance with the CO2 permeance of 30.4 GPU （1 GPU=10-6 cm3 （STP）/（cm 2 s cmHg））,and selectivities to CO2/N2,CO2/CH4,CO2/H2 and O2/N2 of 47.2,37.6,1.75 and 4.70,respectively.Potassium fluoride （KF）,due to its low cost,was also used as a substitute of CsF to prepare composite membrane and the permeation data showed that CsF can be replaced by KF.The effect of operating temperature on the permeation properties of the composite membrane was also investigated.

Perfluorosulfonic acid/Polysulfone(PFSA/PSf) hollow fiber composite membranes have been prepared by dip-coating method using PSf ultrafiltration(UF) membrane as substrate with recovered PFSA.The composite membranes were applied to the pervaporation separation of 95% ethanol(EtOH)/H2O mixture.SEM images show that the thickness of the PFSA skin layer of the composite membranes is about 2 μm,much thinner than those of other PFSA composite membranes revealed in the literatures.Effects of annealing temperature,coating solution concentration and counter-ions of PFSA on the pervaporation performances of the composite membranes were investigated.The total flux decreases and separation factor increases with the increase of annealing temperature.The highest permeation flux of 3230 g m-2 h-1 and a separation factor of 5.4 is obtained for the composite membrane annealed at 80°C.The lowest permeation flux of 396 g m-2 h-1 and a separation factor of 27.7 is obtained for the composite membrane annealed at 160°C.The permeation performances of the PFSA/PSf composite membrane are evidently influenced by the counter-ions of PFSA.The flux sequence of the PFSA/PSf composite membranes with different counter-ions is H+】Li+】Ca2+】Mg2+】Na+】K+】Ba2+】Fe3+】Al3+,and the separation factor sequence is H+【Li+【Al3+【Na+【Mg2+【Ca2+【K+ 【Ba2+【Fe3+.The apparent activation energy △Eapp values of the composite membranes with different counter-ions were calculated by Arrhenius law.The sequence of △Eapp values for the membranes with monovalent counter-ions is Li+】Na+】K+.There are very little variations of △Eapp values between the composite membranes with three divalent counterions(Mg2+,Ca2+ and Ba2+),and the △Eapp values of the composite membranes with two trivalent counterions(Fe3+ and Al3+) are relatively high.
