Abstract
A method for preparing an aromatic polyamide porous hollow fiber membrane firstly premixes PPTA resin, solvent, composite pore-forming agents and inorganic particles in a stirring vessel to form casting solution, secondly injects the casting solution into a double-screw extruder to be fully dissolved under the effect of shear force and enters a spinneret via a metering pump. The PPTA hollow fiber membranes are prepared by the dry-wet spinning method, which solves the problems that hard pore-forming and low porosity in the preparation process of PPTA porous membrane. Utilization of the double-screw extruder is capable of greatly shortening the dissolved time and the deaeration time. Meanwhile the increase of PPTA in casting solution also improves mechanical properties of the PPTA membrane. The addition of the inorganic particles improves mechanical toughness and enhance pure water flux, hydrophilia and rejection rate.
