Embodiment 1

[0153] Example 1. Contains ZrT-1-NH 2 Preparation of Thin Film Nanocomposite (TFN) Membranes

[0154] Contains ZrT-1-NH 2 The thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane was prepared by interfacial polymerization of a polyamide membrane on a polyethersulfone (PES) substrate ( figure 2 ). Considering ZrT-1-NH 2Low solubility in pure water, a mixed solvent comprising acetone and water (3:2 v / v) was used for membrane fabrication.

[0155] In a typical procedure, the PES ultrafiltration membrane (100) is exposed to 2 (0.01, 0.02 and 0.04 w / v% respectively; as prepared by General Procedure 1; 90) in 1 mL of 2 wt% m-phenylenediamine (MPD; 85) in acetone / water (3:2 v / v) for 2min. Excess MPD solution remaining on the PES substrate was removed through filter paper. After drying in air for 1 min, the PES substrate was immersed in (105) 1 mL of 0.15 w / v% 1,3,5-trimesoyl chloride (TMC; 75) in n-hexane for 1 min to induce polymerization via interfacial polymerization (120 ) to form a p...

Embodiment 2

[0160] Example 2. Permeability of membranes prepared as in Example 1

[0161] The permeation properties of the TFN and TFC membranes prepared as in Example 1 were tested in a desalination test using NaCl solution (2000 ppm).

[0162] program

[0163] The permeability of the membrane was measured using a nanofiltration cell. The stirring speed was kept constant at 350 rpm to minimize concentration polarization during the filtration process. The effective area of ​​the membrane is 19.6cm 2 , and the penetration test was performed at 25 °C and 15.5 bar. Prior to permeation testing, each membrane was first compacted with the feed solution at 15.5 bar for 20 min to obtain a stable flux.

[0164] result

[0165] Addition of ZrT-1-NH to polyamide selective layer 2 Increased both water flux and salt rejection ( Figure 4 ). After adding 0.04% ZrT-1-NH 2 After that, the water flux increased by 250%. NaCl rejection also increased from 91% (TFC) to 95% (0.04-TFN). The enhanced...

Embodiment 3

[0166] Example 3. Contains ZrT-1-NH 2 Optimal preparation and characterization of thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes

[0167] TFN membranes were prepared by interfacial polymerization on commercially available polysulfone (PSF) substrates (Foglia, F. et al., Adv. Funct. Mater. 2017, 27(37), 1701738).

[0168] In a typical procedure, PSF substrates were exposed to 1 mL of 1,3-phenylenediamine (MPD) containing 2 wt% and various amounts of ZrT-1-NH 2 (prepared as in General Procedure 1) in acetone / water solution (v / v = 3:2) for 2 min, then filter paper to remove excess solution. The PSF substrate was then fixed on the frame (such that interfacial polymerization occurred only on its top surface), and 1 mL of 0.15% (w / v) 1,3,5-trimesoyl chloride (TMC) in n-hexane was introduced solution for interfacial polymerization. After reacting for 1 min, the resulting membrane was washed with n-hexane to remove residues on the membrane surface, followed by sufficient washing with deio...

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a composite material comprising a complex of formula I: {[Cp3M3O(OH)3]4(A)6} (I), wherein A represents a ligand of formula II, and a polyamide. There is also disclosed a thin filmnanocomposite membrane, a method of manufacturing the composite material and a method of purifying brackish water or seawater with the thin film nanocomposite membrane.

Description

technical field [0001] Composite materials are disclosed herein that can be used in thin film nanocomposite membranes for desalination. Background technique [0002] The listing or discussion of a previously published document in this specification should not be taken as an acknowledgment that the document is part of the state of the art or is common general knowledge. [0003] Water scarcity is a serious global challenge that can be addressed by providing a sustainable way of desalinating sea and brackish water. Conventional methods for desalination include distillation and reverse osmosis (RO). The RO process uses a thin film composite (TFC) membrane comprising a semipermeable polyamide (PA) layer formed by interfacial polymerization involving amine and acid chloride monomers on a porous support substrate. Although the RO process involves lower energy consumption compared to other techniques such as distillation, improved water penetration to the membrane is critical to ...
