Permeation and characterization of TiO_2/PVA hybrid membranes

Abstract

通过纳米TiO2粒子填充改性制备了新型TiO2/PVA杂化膜。红外光谱表明纳米TiO2表面的羟基与聚乙烯醇(PVA)链上的羟基存在较强的氢键作用。扫描电镜显示当TiO2的质量分数低于1.5%时,在PVA中分散均匀。X射线衍射显示纳米TiO2的加入降低了膜的结晶度。通过对含水质量分数低于20%的水/乙醇体系的脱水研究了该杂化膜的渗透性能,考察了TiO2粒子填充量、料液质量分数和温度与膜分离性能之间的关系。渗透通量J随着TiO2、水质量分数和温度的升高而增加,分离因子随着温度和水质量分数的升高而下降,在TiO2质量分数为1.5%时分离因子达到最佳值。40℃下分离质量分数85%的乙醇水溶液,分离因子可达1 590,渗透通量为0.049kg/(m2.h)。Novel nanometer-sized TiO2 filled polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) membranes were prepared.Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) indicates that there is a strong hydrogen-bond interaction between PVA and TiO2.Scanning electron microscope(SEM) shows that TiO2 particles are well distributed in the membrane matrix when TiO2 mass fraction is less than 1.5%.X-ray diffraction(XRD) reveals that the crystallinity of the hybrid membrane is lower than that of the PVA membrane.The permeation properties of the membrane was studied through the dehydration of water/ethanol system,of which water mass fraction is less than 20%,and the effects of TiO2 mass fraction,feed water mass fraction and temperature on the permeation properties of the membrane were investigated.The results show that the permeation flux J increases with increasing TiO2 mass fraction,feed water mass fraction and temperature.Meanwhile,the separation factor α decreases with increasing the feed water mass fraction and temperature.Separation factor arrives at an optimal value when TiO2 mass fraction is 1.5%.The separation factor and permeation flux reach 1 590 and 0.049 kg/(m2·h) respectively for the separation of mass fraction 85% ethanol/water solution at 40 ℃.国家自然科学基金资助项目(50573063);; 教育部新世纪优秀人才支持计划资助项
