       BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION 
       [0002]    1. Field of Invention 
         [0003]    The present invention relates to the field of oil-absorptive material, and more particularly to a preparation method of reinforced oil-absorptive membrane material and its unit. 
         [0004]    2. Description of Related Arts 
         [0005]    In recent years, oily waste water from the leakage of petroleum, industrial aliphatic organic solution, and discard solution have caused catastrophic harms to ocean, rivers and aquatic ecosystem. How to quickly remove oil pollutants from water surface and reduce oily wastewater pollution has attracted worldwide attention. Traditional oil-absorptive materials such as bombax ceiba, bentonite and pulp have been widely used in practical applications. However, they are still unable to meet the requirements of environmental treatment because of these shortcomings involving low oil absorption efficiency, poor oil-water selectivity and weak oil retention capacity etc. 
         [0006]    To make up for the shortcomings of traditional oil-absorptive materials, some researchers have been developing new oil-absorptive materials such as oil-absorptive resin, oil-absorptive fibers, and porous polymer matrix graphene oil-absorptive materials. Gao et al. prepared a PVDF/graphene gel, hereinafter abbreviated as PVDF, by non-solvent diffusion method, followed by vacuum freeze-drying. The diffusion specifically proceeded by substituting water or methanol for DMF in the gel which constructed by PVDF and graphene, hereinafter abbreviated as DMF. Finally, a skinless porous PVDF/graphene gel with superhydrophobicity and superoleophilicity was obtained. This is from an article entitled  Superhydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride/graphene porous materials , published in the periodical Carbon, pages 5166-5172, No. 49,Vol. 49, 2011, i.e.,  Superhydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride/graphene porous materials . Carbon, 2011, 49(49): 5166-5172. Nguyen et al. immobilized graphene on melamine sponge, thereby preparing graphene-based sponge with good absorbing capacity and oil-water selectivity, wherein the absorption capacity is up to 165 times of its own weight. This is from an article entitled  Superhydrophobic and Superoleophilic Properties of Graphene - based Sponges Fabricated Using a Facile Dip Coating Method , published in the periodical Energy &amp; Environmental Science, pages 7908-7912, No. 7, Vol. 5, 2012, i.e.  Superhydrophobic and Superoleophilic Properties of Graphene - based Sponges Fabricated Using a Facile Dip Coating Method . Energy &amp; Environmental Science, 2012, 5(7): 7908-7912. Wang Zitao et al prepared reduce graphene oxide based melamine sponge, abbreviated GROME by dipping melamine sponge in graphene oxide dispersion, followed by using hydrazine hydrate for online reduction. The obtained sponge is superhydrophobic and superoleophilic, with an oil absorption capacity up to 56-127 g/g. This is from an article entitled  Preparation and Absorption Preparation of Reduce Graphene Oxide - based Melamine Sponge and Its Absorption Properties , published in Chemical Journal of Chinese University, pages 2410-2417, No. 11, Vol. 11, 2014. Patent CN103521199A discloses a kind of composite hollow tubular oil-absorptive material preparation method, which used hollow tubular polymeric material as a porous matrix layer, followed by dip-coating a graphene layer on the surface of the substrate. The resulting hollow tubular composite oil-absorptive material showed an outstanding absorption capacity, and its maximum static absorption capacity for trichloroethylene, kerosene and diesel is 169.4 g/g, 97.2 g/g, 88.6 g/g respectively. These polymer-based graphene oil-absorptive materials have good oil-water selectivity, high oil absorption efficiency, large storage volume and other characteristics, which makes their performance far better than traditional oil-absorptive materials. However, these oil-absorptive materials absorbs oil on their own, and therefore the adsorption process is intermittent, it is still unable to achieve continuous and efficient separation of water and oil; besides, their mechanical properties are poor, making it difficult to be applied to large-scale production. 
         [0007]    A patent application 104128166A discloses a kind of hollow tubular oil-absorptive material preparation method: using a spring as its core, wrap the spring within a sheet of sponge which is prepared by dipping the sponge in graphene oxide dispersion solution, and on-line hydrazine hydrate steam reduction, rinsing, and vacuum drying, and then the material is prepared. Patent CN103801274A discloses a kind of oil-absorptive porous hollow fiber membrane preparation method, which uses graphene as surface absorbing layer and porous hollow fiber membrane as matrix layer, then reinforces the interface bonding between graphene and hollow fiber porous membrane through solvent treatment method or dilute solution treatment. These novel polymer-based graphene oil-absorptive materials have good oil-water selectivity, and if a negative pressure was connected on end of the resulting hollow fiber membrane, they could be competent for continuous oil/water separation, thus overcoming these shortcomings of traditional oil-absorptive materials such as the limited absorption capacity and intermittent working mode etc. However, due to poor mechanical properties, poor supporting performance for anti-pressure during working, and single-tube forms, the oil-absorptive material is still difficult to be widely used in practice.
