Experimental Research on PVDF Membranes Prepared by Supercritical CO2-Induced Phase Inversion
Abstract:
Microporous polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes were prepared by supercritical CO2-induced phase inversion. The structure and morphology of prepared PVDF membranes were characterized by SEM. The effects of processing parameters such as CO2 pressure, temperature and PVDF concentration on the membrane morphologies, pore size distribution and especially on the porosity of the membranes were investigated. The results showed that when the PVDF concentration was between 15-35wt.%, the temperature and the pressure were respectively in the range of 35-60°Cand 8-16MPa, the prepared PVDF membrane showed a cellular structure; the porosity changed in the range of 55.2~85.7% and showed a peak valuewith the increase of temperature, CO2 pressure and PVDF concentration. The effects of process parameters on the membrane porosity were explained based on the properties of supercritical fluids.
