Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of membrane separation, and specifically relates to a method for preparing a PPTA / polyelectrolyte composite nanofiltration membrane with temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and solvent resistance. Background Art

[0002] High-temperature acid-base and organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) is a green, efficient, and energy-saving new membrane separation technology for treating severely polluted wastewater containing acids, alkalis, or organic solvents. In addition to requiring the membrane itself to have excellent physical and chemical stability, controlling the density and pore size of the surface separation layer structure is also a key factor for the efficient operation of composite nanofiltration membranes. Currently, the main method for preparing commercial composite nanofiltration membranes is interfacial polymerization (IP). This method optimizes the permeation / separation performance of composite nanofiltration membranes by changing the materials of the surface separation layer and the porous substrate membrane. However, its polymerization reaction activity is strong, the reaction rate is too fast, there are many control factors in the "reaction-diffusion" process, the resulting composite nanofiltration membrane has a high operating pressure, and its acid and alkali resistance and solvent resistance are poor, thus affecting the application range of composite nanofiltration membranes.

[0003] Layer-by-Layer (LBL) assembly is a new method for preparing composite nanofiltration membranes that has emerged in recent years. The properties of the substrate membrane have a great influence on the internal structure and surface morphology of the composite nanofiltration membrane prepared by the LBL method. The porous substrate membranes of traditional LBL composite nanofiltration membranes are mostly made of materials such as polyacrylonitrile and polyethersulfone, which have poor hydrophilicity and chemical resistance. At the same time, structural defects are likely to appear on the surface separation layer of the obtained separation layer, and it cannot be applied to special separation systems such as high temperature, acids and alkalis, and organic solvents. Poly(p-phenyleneterephthalamide) (PPTA) is a high-performance aromatic polyamide. The solvent-resistant PPTA composite nanofiltration membrane prepared with PPTA as the porous substrate membrane exhibits excellent characteristics such as high temperature resistance, organic solvent resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance. However, it has defects such as high operating pressure, low permeation flux, and insufficient long-term stability of the rejection rate. Therefore, there is currently no relevant report on the research of composite nanofiltration membranes for the application of treating severely polluted wastewater such as high temperature, acids and alkalis, and organic solvents. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a PPTA / polyelectrolyte composite nanofiltration membrane with temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and solvent resistance.

[0005] The technical solution for the present invention to solve the above technical problem is to provide a method for preparing a PPTA / polyelectrolyte composite nanofiltration membrane with temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and solvent resistance, which is characterized in that the method comprises the following steps:

[0006] Step 1. Prepare a polycation solution and a polyanion solution: The polyelectrolyte monomers include polycation monomers and polyanion monomers; dissolve the polycation monomers and polyanion monomers in their respective buffers to prepare a polycation solution and a polyanion solution respectively;

[0007] Step 2. In-situ polymerization cycle process:

[0008] S2.1. Immerse the PPTA ultrafiltration base membrane in one of the polycation solution or the polyanion solution, so that the polyelectrolyte in-situ polymerizes on the surface of the PPTA ultrafiltration base membrane; after taking it out, rinse to remove the unpolymerized polyelectrolyte on the surface, and then perform surface drying;

[0009] S2.2. Immerse the membrane obtained in step S2.1 in the other of the polycation solution or the polyanion solution, take it out and rinse, and then perform surface drying;

[0010] Step 3. Prepare the primary PPTA / polyelectrolyte composite nanofiltration membrane: Repeat the in-situ polymerization cycle process in step 2 for n / 2 times, where n is a positive integer, and alternately immerse the PPTA ultrafiltration base membrane in the polycation solution and the polyanion solution until the separation and purification effect of the PPTA / polyelectrolyte composite nanofiltration membrane meets the requirements of the separation system to obtain the primary PPTA / polyelectrolyte composite nanofiltration membrane;

[0011] Step 4. Prepare the PPTA / polyelectrolyte composite nanofiltration membrane: Immerse the primary PPTA / polyelectrolyte composite nanofiltration membrane in a salt solution for salt treatment and heat treatment to improve the high-temperature stability and anti-pollution ability of the composite nanofiltration membrane; then take it out and immerse it in deionized water and let it stand for at least 24 h, so that the internal structure of the polyelectrolyte layer is induced by the mutual electrostatic force to promote the tight combination of polyanions and polycations, forming a denser and more regular composite nanofiltration membrane to obtain the PPTA / polyelectrolyte composite nanofiltration membrane.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0013] (1) The present invention first uses the layer-by-layer self-assembly method (LBL) to prepare a PPTA / polyelectrolyte composite nanofiltration membrane that is resistant to temperature, acids and alkalis, and solvents. Compared with the mainstream interfacial polymerization (IP) preparation method of commercial composite nanofiltration membranes, the method of the present invention overcomes the problems of many side reactions and difficult control in the "reaction-diffusion" process between traditional monomers and the base membrane. At the same time, the anionic and cationic polyelectrolyte reaction monomers used in the LBL method are less affected by the pH value and organic solvents than the monomers in the IP method.

[0014] (2) By regulating parameters such as the type of polyelectrolyte, polymerization time, ionic strength, and number of layers, the present invention realizes precise regulation of the membrane structure and performance to obtain a special separation layer structure, constructs multilayer polyelectrolyte layers on the surface of the PPTA ultrafiltration substrate membrane in an oriented manner, and finally obtains a PPTA / polyelectrolyte composite nanofiltration membrane with high flux, high rejection, long cycle, and resistance to temperature, acids and alkalis, and solvents.

[0015] (3) The composite nanofiltration membrane prepared by the present invention not only exhibits excellent long-term service stability and structural stability in the filtration and separation of high temperature, organic solvents, and strong acid solutions (pH = 1), but also takes into account the performance of high flux and high rejection.

[0016] (4) Compared with the problems of poor tolerance to high temperature, acids and alkalis, and organic solvents existing in the substrate membrane materials such as polyacrylonitrile and polysulfone used in traditional composite nanofiltration membranes, the PPTA ultrafiltration membrane with high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and solvent resistance used in the present invention, as a porous substrate membrane, its unique physicochemical properties such as superhydrophilicity, narrow pore size distribution, and strong surface negative charge can effectively increase the stability of the interfacial bonding state between the polyelectrolyte layer on the membrane surface and the substrate membrane prepared by the LBL method, and enable the obtained PPTA / polyelectrolyte composite nanofiltration membrane to have both high permeability, high rejection, and high tolerance performance in environments such as high temperature, acids and alkalis, and organic solvents.

[0017] (5) The method of the present invention has few control factors, simple process, mild process, short process flow, and can construct a separation layer with different electric properties and thicknesses on the membrane surface according to the physical properties of small molecules in the separation system.

[0018] (6) The temperature-resistant, acid and alkali-resistant, and solvent-resistant PPTA / polyelectrolyte composite nanofiltration membrane obtained by the present invention can be used for the concentration and separation of severely polluted sewage containing oligomers or small molecule impurities or the efficient removal of inorganic salts in special industrial fields such as petrochemical, textile, and medicine, and has good application value and prospects.

[0095]

[0096] It can be seen from Table 1 and Table 2 that: (1) The reduction of the number of cycles of the PPTA / polyelectrolyte composite nanofiltration membrane, the decrease of the concentrations of polycation and polyanion monomers, and the strong acidic monomer dissolution system are all beneficial to the rapid electrostatic attraction balance between the two-phase monomers, thereby achieving the improvement of the permeation flux and showing a high organic solvent flux under low operating pressure. (2) The increase of the number of cycles of the PPTA / polyelectrolyte composite nanofiltration membrane, the decrease of the molecular weight difference between polycation and polyanion monomers, and the decrease of the post-treatment temperature of the as-cast membrane are likely to lead to the decrease of the retention rate of small dye molecules, showing a separation efficiency of <90%. (3) Different properties of polyelectrolyte monomers will result in different diffusion forms and rates between polycation and polyanion monomers, thereby affecting the formation structure of the surface separation layer of the polyelectrolyte and showing different compatibility differences in permeation-retention performance. (4) Compared with the permeation-retention performance of the PPTA / PA composite nanofiltration membrane shown in Comparative Example 1, the PPTA / polyelectrolyte composite nanofiltration membrane of the present invention shows higher high-temperature organic solvent and acid-base tolerance stability. After 100 h of testing, the attenuation rate of the permeation flux of the composite nanofiltration membrane does not exceed 0.5%, and the decrease of the retention rate is less than 1%. The parts not described in the present invention are applicable to the prior art.
