1引言 由于磺化聚醚醚酮(SPEEK)膜特有的微观结构使其阻醇性能[1]要优于Nafion膜,使其在直接甲醇燃料电池(DMFC)中的应用方面具有良好的应用前景.但随着该材料磺化度的增加,SPEEK膜的抗溶胀性能[2]和机械性能显著下降,而低磺化度的SPEEK的质子传导能力较弱,不能满足DMFC的使用要求.     

磺化聚乙烯中空纤维离子交换膜渗透汽化分离异丙醇/水混合液研究

离子交换膜作为醇/水和其他有机水溶液的渗透汽化分离膜有很好的选择性^[1-3]。其中尤以磺化聚乙烯离子交换膜最为显著。用磺化聚乙烯离子膜分离恒沸组成的异丙醇/水和乙醇/水(85:15wt%)混合物^[4]、近恒沸组成的二氧六环/水混合物^[5],透过物中水含量大于99%,而且保持了较高的渗透通量。但上述实验均使用的平板型膜,大型平板膜组件的加工制造昂贵而困难,况且膜在分离运行过程中会随料液浓度的变化发生溶胀与收缩,使固定的平面膜起皱在收缩时又可能被拉破。为了提高单位组件内的膜面积(中空纤维组件的膜装填密度为平板式的60-100倍),发展中空纤维型膜及其组件势在必行。本文首次报道磺化聚乙烯中空纤维阳离子交换膜对异丙醇/水的渗透汽化性能。

Polyurethane and sulfonated polysulfone blend ultrafiltration membranes. I. Preparation and characterization studies

Polyurethane (ether type) and sulfonated polysulfone (sodium salt form) in the presence of polyethylene glycol 600 were blended in various compositions using N,N'-dimethylformamide as solvent and used for preparing ultrafiltration membranes by the phase inversion technique. Polymer blend composition, additive concentration, and casting and gelation conditions were optimized. Blend membranes were subjected to ultrafiltration characterizations such as compaction, pure water flux, water content, and membrane resistance. The membranes were also subjected to the determination of pore statistics and molecular weight cutoff determination studies using dextran of different molecular weights. Surface morphology of the membranes was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy at different magnifications. The effects of polymer composition and additive concentration on the above parameters were analyzed and the results are compared and discussed with those of pure sulfonated polysulfone membranes. The derived pore size, porosity, and number of pores have a remarkable interrelationship and also have a definite role and relationship with the molecular weight cutoff, morphology, and flux performance of the membranes.     

Hydraulic permeation of NaCl solution through sulfonated polysulfone-polyvinyl alcohol polysulfone composite reverse osmosis membrane

The hydraulic permeation of NaCl solution through sulfonated polysulfone-polyvinyl alcohol/polysulfone composite reverse osmosis membrane was systematically investigated. It was found that the transport of water in a sulfonated polysulfone-polyvinyl alcohol/polysulfone composite reverse osmosis membrane follows the modified solution diffusion equation developed by Yang and Chu. Moreover, the equation between salt rejection and applied pressure was proposed for describing the hydraulic permeation of salt solution through a sulfonated polysulfone-polyvinyl alcohol/polysulfone composite membrane. The salt rejection was found to fit the greater part of separation transport mechanism. The experimental data and the salt rejection equation appear to be in excellent agreement.

Preparation and characterizations of asymmetric sulfonated polysulfone membranes by wet phase inversion method

This paper presents an original approach to prepare the asymmetric sulfonated polysulfone membranes by using wet phase inversion method and their applications for dehydrating a water/ethanol mixture by pervaporation. The separation performances of sulfonated membranes were strongly affected by the degree of sulfonation and the degree of swelling of membranes. The substitution degree of sulfonic group enhanced the permselectivity of sulfonated polysulfone membranes by increasing the hydrophilicity of polymer backbone. Based on the observations of membrane morphology and light transmittance measurements, the degree of sulfonation of polysulfone presented less influence on the membrane formation pathway and the final structure of membrane in wet phase inversion process. It was also found that the sulfonated membranes showed well hydrophilic properties and facilitated water adsorption in the membranes. The sorption and permeation properties also showed that the permselectivity of asymmetric membrane was dominated by the permeate diffusion rather than the permeate sorption in the skin layer. The high separation performance of pervaporation membrane can be achieved by phase inverse method with sulfonated polysulfone.     

Pervaporation separation of water/ethanol mixture by sulfonated polysulfone membrane

For dehydrating a water/ethanol mixture by pervaporation, a sulfonated polysulfone membrane was prepared. The separation performance of water and ethanol are shown to strongly depend on the degree of substitution of polysulfone membrane. The degree of substitution increased with increasing chlorosulfonic acid in the casting solution, and the substitution reaction was achieved within 2 h. The water permeation rate and separation factor increased with increasing substitution of polysulfone membrane up to a substitution of 2.0. The effect of sulfonation on separation performance was due to the improvement of hydrophilicity of sulfonated membrane. It was found that the solubility of water/ethanol in the membrane was not the dominant factor for separation but it was rather the diffusion difference in the membrane. The diffusion difference between permeate through sulfonated membrane was the dominant factor for separating the water/ethanol mixture. The high performance of pervaporation membrane can be prepared by sulfonated polysulfone.     

Studies on cellulose acetate-carboxylated polysulfone blend ultrafiltration membranes--Part I

Hydrophilic polysulfone ultrafiltration (UF) membranes were prepared from blends of cellulose acetate with carboxylated polysulfone of 0.14 degree of carboxylation. The effects of blend polymer composition on compaction, pure water flux, water content and membrane hydraulic resistance (R_m), have been investigated to evaluate the performance of the membranes. The performance of the blend membranes of various blend polymer compositions were compared with that of membranes prepared from pure cellulose acetate and blends of cellulose acetate and pure polysulfone. The hydrophilic cellulose acetate-carboxylated polysulfone blend UF membranes showed better performance compared to membranes prepared from pure cellulose acetate and blends of cellulose acetate and pure polysulfone.

Fractionation of BSA and lysozyme using ultrafiltration: effect of pH and membrane pretreatment

Selective transmission of a solute through membranes proves to be a challenge in ultrafiltration processes. This is because the transport of a solute through an ultrafiltration membrane does not depend on size alone, but on several other factors such as solute-solute and solute-membrane interactions. By manipulating physicochemical parameters and process variables (eg. pH, ionic strength, concentration of solute, etc.) and by membrane modification, it is possible to enhance the transmission of a particular solute and thus enhance fractionation of solutes. In this paper, the effect of pH on fractionation of BSA and lysozyme by ultrafiltration through 50 kDa MWCO (molecular weight cut off) polysulfone membrane has been examined. It was found that the selectivity of solute separation for dilute mixtures of BSA and lysozyme was very much pH dependent and varied from 3.3 at pH 5.2 to 220.0 at pH 8.8. However, at a higher feed concentration, the transmission of lysozyme through polysulfone membrane decreases quite dramatically resulting in lower throughput of product. An attempt has been made to enhance the transmission of lysozyme through the polysulfone ultrafiltration membrane by pretreating the surface of the membrane by adsorption of another protein, myoglobin. An increase in lysozyme transmission of up to 63% with respect to native membrane was observed. The stability of this pretreatment and its effect on permeate flux have been examined. The pretreated membrane was used to fractionate BSA/lysozyme mixtures. Even at higher feed concentration, enhanced fractionation with respect to native membrane was observed due to highly enhanced transmission of lysozyme through the pretreated membrane.     

Sulfophenylation of Polysulfones for Proton‐Conducting Fuel Cell Membranes

Polysulfone has been sulfophenylated by lithiation and anionic reaction with 2‐sulfobenzoic acid cyclic anhydride. This provides a new convenient method to modify polysulfones by attaching pendant sulfonated phenyl groups via ketone links. Membranes of the sulfophenylated polysulfones show promise for use in proton‐exchange‐membrane fuel cells. For example, a membrane with 0.9 sulfophenyl units per repeating polysulfone unit and 30 wt.‐% water was found to have a proton conductivity of 32 mS/cm at 60°C.
