Water isotope pervaporation separation method and system based on two-dimensional material film

This invention relates to a method and system for water isotope pervaporation separation based on a two-dimensional material membrane, belonging to the field of membrane separation technology. The method combines pervaporation with a two-dimensional material membrane, which is either a two-dimensional nanoporous membrane or a mixed matrix membrane. It utilizes the sub-nanometer interlayer channels of the nanoporous membrane or the kinetic quantum sieving effect of the polymer chain micropores in the mixed matrix membrane, as well as the chemical affinity quantum sieving effect of the binding sites on the surface of the two-dimensional material, coupled with pervaporation to achieve water isotope separation. Under the action of quantum sieving, lighter isotopes transport faster than heavier isotopes; particles are in a vibrating state within the pores; lighter isotopes have higher zero-point energies and more intense vibrations, making them easier to break free from adsorption sites; heavier isotopes have lower zero-point energies and are more easily adsorbed, thus achieving separation. This scheme, by leveraging intramembrane quantum sieving, synergistically combining the phase transition of pervaporation with the transmembrane chemical potential gradient, can achieve low-energy and high-efficiency separation of water isotopes, promoting applications in membrane separation and the field of two-dimensional materials.
