Abstract：

Pore size is one of the most important characterization parameter, which directly affects the membrane separation performance. Bubble-point method for analysis of maximum pore diameter of hollow fiber microfiltration membrane was investigated in this study. With polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polypropylene (PP) microfiltration membrane as the representative examples, the detection conditions were optimized. Optimum bubble-point method was carried out at a temperature of 20 °C for 30 min by using ethanol as the soaking liquid. The relative standard deviations of maximum pore diameter were 5.4% and 8.8% for PVDF and PP microfiltration membrane, respectively. Pore sizes of four hollow fiber microfiltration membranes were determined by bubble-point, mercury porosimetry, and gas adsorption methods, respectively. The results showed that the maximum pore diameters obtained by bubble-point method were strongly correlated with the average pore diameters obtained by mercury porosimetry method. Gas adsorption method was not suitable for the pore size analysis of microfiltration membranes.
