Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of membrane separation technology, specifically a method for preparing an organic solvent nanofiltration membrane with a rigid-flexible dual-network type IPN. Background Technology
[0002] In industries such as pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals, separation and purification are key links in the entire production process, accounting for 40-60% of total investment and energy consumption (Nature 532(2016)435–437), which is difficult to adapt to the economic development model of synergistic efficiency improvement through pollution reduction and carbon reduction. Compared with traditional thermal separation technologies (such as distillation, etc.), membrane separation technology can save about 60% of energy consumption (Chinese Engineering Science 24(2022)140-152), and has the characteristics of high separation efficiency, low energy consumption, and easy integration design. Coupling membrane separation technology with product separation and purification and solvent recovery processes can promote the optimization and upgrading of the chemical industry structure. Applying membrane separation technology to the separation and purification of materials in organic solvent systems to reduce energy consumption and achieve sustainable development is an inevitable trend. However, unlike water system applications, in organic solvent systems, membrane materials are required to have high permeation separation characteristics, strong solvent resistance, excellent pressure resistance and resistance to physical aging, and long service life. Ultra-thin membrane thickness, highly deformable micro / nano structures, good solvent resistance, uniform pore size, and high porosity are fundamental structural characteristics of membranes used in organic solvent separation systems. These structural features facilitate overcoming the limiting effect between permeability and rejection rate, and also ensure long-term stability under harsh environments. Traditional cross-linked aromatic polyamide (PA) membranes possess good separation accuracy and solvent resistance; however, PA's low glass transition temperature and high molecular chain flexibility result in low solvent flux, unstable pore structure, and poor long-term stability. This makes them unsuitable for current separation applications in the petroleum and chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies, the present invention aims to design and provide a technical solution for preparing a rigid-flexible dual-network IPN organic solvent nanofiltration membrane. This method utilizes monomers with different rigid molecular cluster structures and flexible structures, employing stepwise interfacial polymerization and liquid-phase molecular layer deposition to construct rigid-flexible dual-network IPN PA membrane materials. It studies and solves key issues in membrane structure control, resulting in a solvent-resistant nanofiltration membrane with high solvent flux, high separation accuracy, and strong long-term service stability. This invention can be widely applied in industries such as petrochemicals, active biological component purification, and food processing, achieving efficient separation of chemical raw materials, extraction of active ingredients, and recovery of organic solvents. This invention helps overcome the limitations of current membrane materials' solvent resistance and stability in organic solvent systems, providing new ideas and options to replace traditional thermal-based separation technologies (such as distillation and evaporation) used in these organic solvent-related industries. Membrane separation technology can be coupled with product synthesis, separation and purification, and solvent recovery processes, promoting the optimization and upgrading of the chemical industry structure.

The IPN structure organically integrates a rigid network with highly permeable micro-nanopores with a dense flexible network. The rigid network acts as a framework, supporting the overall stability and longitudinal stiffness of the IPN structure, enhancing its resistance to external loads and internal stresses, and ensuring excellent long-term service stability of the membrane material. The flexible network, as a filling phase, is interlocked into the rigid network structure, forming a highly cross-linked and dense structure, ensuring a high retention rate of the membrane material. The twisted 3D structure of the rigid network also hinders the dense stacking of the flexible network, inducing more micro-nanopores and increasing solvent flux. The rigid and flexible networks work synergistically, integrating their advantages to achieve a 1+1 greater than 2 effect, resulting in a solvent-resistant nanofiltration membrane with both excellent long-term service stability and high separation performance.
