摘要

Abstract

Owing to the excellent filtration performance and low energy cost

polymeric nanofibers microfiltration (MF) membranes have attracted increasing attentions. Poly(arylene sulfide sulfone) (PASS)

as one of the structurally modified polymers based on poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS)

has been selected as the raw material to fabricate nanofibers MF membranes

via

electrospun techniques. The effects of PASS solution and the electrospinning processing parameters on the structural morphology of nanofibers were investigated in detail. The average diameter of PASS nanofibers was (296 ± 46) nm under the optimal condition: polymer concentration of 0.27 g·mL

PASS/DMI

applied voltage of 20 kV

and speed of collector drum of 300 r·min

. And then the multi-layer PASS nanofibers MF membranes were fabricated from cold-pressing the optimized PASS nanofibers (as-prepared PASS nanofibers) membrane. The morphology

porosity

pore size

mechanical properties

and surface wettability of the multi-layer PASS nanofibers MF membranes could be tuned by the layers of as-prepared nanofibers membrane. The results demonstrated that the membrane with 6 layers (marked as PASS-6) exhibited the smallest porosity

smallest pore size

highest mechanical property

and best surface wettability. Meanwhile

the multi-layer PASS nanofibers MF membranes showed that the rejection ratio gradually increased

while the pure water flux decreased with increasing membranes thickness. The PASS-6 membrane exhibited large water flux of 747.76 L·m

and high separation efficiency of 99.9% to 0.2 μm particles

making it a promising candidate for microfilter.
