Abstract

Abstract:

With the development of intelligent materials and nanotechnology, new functional membrane materials with special stimulus-response have been one of the main directions of membrane separation technology. Magnetically responsive membrane is a kind of separation membrane prepared by mixing magnetic particles and polymers, which can respond to magnetic field stimulation. Magnetically responsive membrane has the advantages of low energy consumption and high efficiency of membrane separation technology and the magnetic and catalytic properties of magnetic particles. The response of magnetic particles to magnetic field not only affects the structure and separation performance of the membrane, but also benefits the wettability and anti-fouling of the membrane. In this paper, the preparation methods of magnetically responsive membrane including blending method, coating method, grafting method and in-situ growth method are discussed in detail. Then the advantages and disadvantages of different preparation methods and their future development are compared. And from four aspects of filtration, adsorption, degradation, exchange separation, the application field of magnetic response separation membrane is discussed. Finally, the development of magnetically responsive membrane is summarized and its development is prospected.

Key words: magnetically responsive membrane, magnetic particle, separation, stimulus-response, mechanism
