Abstract
The wheat straw alkaline lignin-poly (vinylalcohol) (PVA) chemical reaction membranes were
prepared on the basis of wheat straw alkaline lignin by crosslinking reaction of formaldehyde and PVA by
the film casting method. The effects of formaldehyde content on mechanical properties of membranes were
investigated. And the mechanical properties, thermal properties, absorbability of ultraviolet light, gas
permeability and solvent resistance were measured. The results showed that the tensile strength and
elongation at break of membranes were 21.81 MPa and 682% when the mass ratio of formaldehyde was
3.0%. The surface and fracture surface of membranes were well-distributed and smooth. The most
violent decomposition temperature of the membranes was 300 ℃and the residue of membranes was 7.8%
at 465 ℃, both of which were higher than PVA membrane, indicating a better thermal stability of
membranes. Also the membranes exhibited anti-UV according to the strong absorption capacity of light
between 200 -500 nm. The nitrogen permeability of membranes was 1.580 x10 -8 m3 / (m2daykPa),
which was much lower than PVA membrane 2.696 x10 -7 m3 / (m2daykPa). Besides, the membranes
were soluble in water and acetic acid, and insoluble in isopropanol, carbon tetrachloride and petroleum
ether.
