In this study, the poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) Flat ultrafiltration membrane was prepared the gel phase inversion method using different polymer(PEG,PMMA,PVA,PVP) as addition. The flux attenuation and resistance of membrane used for treating the secondary treated water of Urban sewage were studied by ultrafiltration (UF) experiments. The influence of addition to the morphology structure and anti-fouling performance of PVDF UF membrane was analyzed.Result show that using PVA and PVP as addition, the PVDF membranes had through macropore structure in cross-section and the appearance of larger macrovoids in the porous substructure,with the lower contact angle, high efficiency producing water percentage, good washing recovery rate. Meanwhile, adding PEG and PMMA in membrane,which was easy to form irreversible plugging hole pollution owing to distribute some teardrop deadend hole.

The approach of the present work is based on the use of poly (methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) polymer, which is compatible with PVDF and TiO2 nanoparticles in casting solutions, for the preparation of nano-composites membranes using a safer and more compatible solvent. TiO2 embedded poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/PMMA photocatalytic membranes were prepared by phase inversion method. A non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) coupled with vapor induced phase separation (VIPS) was used to fabricate flat-sheet membranes using a dope solution consisting of PMMA, PVDF, TiO2, and triethyl phosphate (TEP) as an alternative non-toxic solvent. Membrane morphology was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Backscatter electron detector (BSD) mapping was used to monitor the inter-dispersion of TiO2 in the membrane surface and matrix. The effects of polymer concentration, evaporation time, additives and catalyst amount on the membrane morphology and properties were investigated. Tests on photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) were also carried out using the membranes entrapped with different concentrations of TiO2. The results of this study showed that nearly 99% MB removal can be easily achieved by photocatalysis using TiO2 immobilized on the membrane matrix. Moreover, it was observed that the quantity of TiO2 plays a significant role in the dye removal.

This work describes the preparation and the properties of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) porous membranes. The porous membrane was prepared using phase-inversion method by adding hydrophilic polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as hole-agent. The contrastive analysis of membrane characterizations between the membrane no PVP added and the membrane added PVP were carried out by optical microscopy analysis, scanning electron microscopy, porosity, pure water flux and water contact angle. The results showed that adding PVP can induce the building of pore structure, increase the surface roughness and hydrophilicity of PVDF membrane, and then enhance its pure water flux.
