Abstract:
Porous polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF)membranes blended with LiCl are prepared through the phase inversion method to obtain a good support layer for air dehumidification.The hydrophilicity of the resulting membrane is evaluated by water contact angle measurements and vapor adsorption tests.The moisture permeation performance of the membrane is measured by permeation tests in terms of total mass transfer coefficients and moisture permeability rates.It is found that water contact angles and water vapor adsorption capacities increase with the increasing LiCl content in the casting solution.As the LiCl content increases, the total mass transfer coefficient increases slightly at a low LiCl content(below 2.5%)and then improves greatly at a high LiCl content(above 2.5%), whereas the moisture permeation rate increases.The results demonstrate that LiCl can remarkably improve the hydrophilicity of PVDF membranes, and then greatly enhance moisture permeation performance.
