Aperture test range：

0.08～ 500um According to the basic principle of the liquid-liquid exclusion method, the pores of the membrane arefilled with wetting liquid, and another liquid incompatible with it is used as the osmotic hydraulic pressure toenterthe pores of the membrane. The larger the value, the easier it is for the wetting fluid to be dischargedbythepermeate, that is, the largest pores are first opened by the permeate. In the same way, the channel that isfinally opened is the smallest, and the diameter of the channel can be calculated fromthe openingpressure. Calculated as follows.

where d is the pore size, γ is the interfacial tension between the wetting fluid and the permeate, θisthe contact angle between the wetting fluid and the membrane material, and P is the opening pressureThrough the corresponding relationship between the permeate flow and pressure, the pore size distributionof the membrane material can be calculated according to the mathematical model.

Function:

Main functions of membrane pore size and flux analyzer: maximum pore size, average pore size, poresizedistribution, pure water or other liquid flux.

(1) The maximum pore size increases with the increase of the permeate pressure. When a stable permeateflow rate begins to be detected, it means that the first channel (ie, the largest channel) is opened. Thepressure value at this time can be calculated by entering the above formula. maximumaperture. Thisinstrument adopts a high-precision flow detector, which can automatically determine and measurethemaximum aperture.

(2) As the average pore size increases with the pressure of the permeate, accurately measure the relationshipbetween the permeate flow and pressure (commonly known as the "wet curve"). When the wettingliquidiscompletely removed, slowly reduce the permeate pressure and accurately measure the permeate again. Curveversus pressure (commonly known as "dry curve"). Divide the ordinate value of the "dry curve" datapointby 2 to obtain a new set of data points, and draw the curve, which is commonly known as the "semi-drycurve". The average pore size can be calculated according to the pressure corresponding to the intersectionof the "semi-dry curve" and the "wet curve", as shown in the example below. The average pore sizethuscalculated is also known as the "flux median pore size", that is, the pore size above and belowthis poresizecontribute half to the membrane flux.

(3) Pore size distribution By comparing the difference between the "wet curve" and the "dry curve", theporesize distribution of the membrane material can be obtained by calculating with a certain mathematical model,and the pore size distribution diagram and the cumulative pore size distribution diagramare drawnbythecalculation software.

(4) Pure water flux Using pure water as the permeable medium, and accurately measuring the relationshipbetween water flow and pressure, the pure water flux F can be calculated:
