By dynamic method under UV irradiation, commercial melt-blown polypropylene (PPMB) filter element was modified with
acrylamide (AAm) using benzophenone (BP) as initiator. Attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and
scanning electron microscope verified that polyacrylamide chain was grafted on the fiber surface of PPMB filter element. Elemental
content analysis with energy dispersive X-ray of fibers revealed that the polymerization content in the inner part of filter element
was relatively higher than that in the outer. Degree of grafting changed with initiator concentration, monomer concentration, reaction
temperature and reached 2.6% at the reaction condition: CBP=0.06 mol/L, CAAm=2.0 mol/L, irradiation time: 80 min, temperature:
60℃. Relative water flux altered with the hydrophilicity and pore size of filter element. In the antifouling test, the modified filter gave
greater flux recovery (approximately 70%) after filtration of the water extract of Liuweidihuang, suggesting that the fouling layer was
more easily reversible due to the hydrophilic nature of the modified filter.
