[0029] The application of the technical solution of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0030] (1) The present invention provides a method for preparing a seawater desalination reverse osmosis membrane, which can prepare a seawater desalination reverse osmosis membrane that meets both high desalination rate and high water flux. Specifically, the present invention uses a phase transfer catalyst and a surfactant in the aqueous phase solution, wherein the phase transfer catalyst includes a quaternary ammonium salt and / or a pyridine substance, which can not only combine with the amine monomer, but also has affinity for the oil phase solution, promotes more amine monomers to be enriched and transferred to the interface of the oil phase solution, and improves the interfacial polymerization reaction rate; the surfactant has fixed hydrophilic and lipophilic groups, has amphiphilicity, reduces the surface tension and interfacial free energy of the aqueous phase and the oil phase interface, can improve the solubility of the amine monomer, and promotes more amine monomers to immerse into the pores of the support layer; the combined use of the phase transfer catalyst and the surfactant can increase the effective concentration and diffusion rate of the amine monomer during the interfacial polymerization reaction, and accelerate the reaction rate of the interfacial polymerization; the present invention uses a specific mass concentration of trimesoyl chloride and isophthaloyl chloride in combination in the first oil phase solution, firstly, the high activity of trimesoyl chloride is used for interfacial polymerization with a large amount of amine monomers, and secondly, considering that the steric hindrance of the functional group of trimesoyl chloride is large, some amino groups of the amine monomers between two adjacent trimesoyl chloride molecules are not reacted, the present invention uses the steric hindrance The small isophthaloyl chloride further reacts with part of the amine monomers, thereby increasing the crosslinking degree of the polyamide functional layer and reducing the pore size of the polyamide functional layer. The first drying treatment is performed under steam conditions, and gaseous water molecules partially penetrate into the network channel of the polyamide functional layer and liquefy on the surface of the membrane to form a thin water layer, which prevents the water phase solution from volatilizing on the one hand, and on the other hand, the high temperature environment of the steam promotes the interfacial polymerization of the water phase solution and the first oil phase solution to increase the crosslinking degree. On the other hand, the byproduct hydrogen chloride gas formed by the interfacial polymerization cannot break through the water layer in time, and forms nanobubbles in the network channel of the polyamide functional layer. The nanobubbles move in the network channel of the polyamide functional layer to form water channels, increase the roughness of the polyamide functional layer, and improve the water flux. Finally, the water channels formed by the nanobubbles are retained, and the pH buffer absorbs the hydrogen chloride gas to maintain the appropriate pH value of the interfacial polymerization reaction, that is, the pH value is between 10.0 and 12.0. The present invention uses an aromatic sulfonyl chloride monomer in the second oil phase solution, which can react with the unreacted amine monomers in the primary reverse osmosis membrane, further increase the crosslinking degree of the polyamide functional layer, reduce the pore size of the polyamide functional layer, and improve the desalination rate.

[0031] (2) The post-treatment provided in the present invention includes rinsing, first immersion treatment, cleaning, second immersion treatment, third immersion treatment and second drying treatment under dry conditions of the seawater desalination reverse osmosis membrane in sequence; wherein, rinsing is used to remove unreacted substances remaining on the surface of the membrane; the first immersion treatment is completed by using a NaHSO3 solution to prevent the membrane from being contaminated by microorganisms and oxidative damage; the NaHSO3 solution remaining on the surface of the membrane is removed by cleaning; the second immersion treatment is completed by using a glycerol aqueous solution to keep the membrane moist; the third immersion treatment is completed by using a polyvinyl alcohol solution to form a protective layer on the surface of the membrane, which can reduce damage to the polyamide functional layer on the membrane during the rolling process; the second drying treatment under dry conditions is used to ensure the cross-linking degree of the seawater desalination reverse osmosis membrane and improve the structural stability of the seawater desalination reverse osmosis membrane.

[0032] (3) The seawater desalination reverse osmosis membrane prepared by the present invention has a water flux of 25.8 to 32.7 GFD and a desalination rate of 99.81% to 99.92%.

[0033] (4) The seawater desalination reverse osmosis membrane prepared by the present invention can be applied to reclaimed water reuse, seawater desalination and brackish water desalination, and has good industrial application prospects. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0080] Table 1 Desalination rate and water flux performance test results

[0081]

[0082] From the data in Table 1, we know that:

[0083] Compared with comparative examples 1-5, the seawater desalination membranes prepared by using examples 1-7 of the present invention have higher water flux and desalination rate, wherein the water flux reaches 25.8-32.7 GFD, and the desalination rate reaches 99.81%-99.92%.

[0084] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 1 does not use a phase transfer catalyst, and the water flux and desalination rate of the prepared seawater desalination membrane are significantly reduced; this shows that the use of a phase transfer catalyst in Example 1 can promote more amine monomers to be enriched and transferred to the interface of the oil phase solution, increase the interfacial polymerization reaction rate, increase the crosslinking degree of the polyamide functional layer, reduce the pore size of the polyamide functional layer, and improve the desalination rate; because the use of a phase transfer catalyst increases the interfacial polymerization reaction rate, the thickness of the prepared seawater desalination membrane is thinner and the water flux is improved. However, Comparative Example 1 does not use a phase transfer catalyst, and it is difficult to promote the enrichment and transfer of amine monomers to the interface of the oil phase solution, and the interfacial polymerization reaction rate slows down, that is, the amine monomers slowly polymerize with the acyl chloride monomers in the first oil phase solution and the second oil phase solution, so that the thickness of the prepared seawater desalination membrane is thicker and the water flux decreases; in addition, Comparative Example 1 does not use a phase transfer catalyst, and it is difficult to promote more amine monomers to participate in interfacial polymerization, resulting in a decrease in the crosslinking degree of the polyamide functional layer and a decrease in the desalination rate.

[0085] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 2 does not use a surfactant, and the water flux and desalination rate of the seawater desalination membrane prepared therefrom are significantly reduced; this shows that the combination of a phase transfer catalyst and a surfactant in Example 1 can increase the effective concentration and diffusion rate of amine monomers during interfacial polymerization, accelerate the reaction rate of interfacial polymerization, increase the crosslinking degree of the polyamide functional layer, reduce the pore size of the polyamide functional layer, and improve the desalination rate; because the combination of a phase transfer catalyst and a surfactant in Example 1 accelerates the reaction rate of interfacial polymerization, the thickness of the prepared seawater desalination membrane is thinner and the water flux is improved. However, Comparative Example 2 does not use a surfactant, and cannot cooperate with the phase transfer catalyst to increase the effective concentration and diffusion rate of amine monomers during interfacial polymerization, resulting in a decrease in the crosslinking degree of the polyamide functional layer and a decrease in the desalination rate; Comparative Example 2 does not use a surfactant, and cannot cooperate with the phase transfer catalyst to accelerate the reaction rate of interfacial polymerization, that is, the interfacial polymerization reaction rate slows down, and the amine monomers slowly polymerize with the acyl chloride monomers in the first oil phase solution and the second oil phase solution, so that the thickness of the prepared seawater desalination membrane is thicker and the water flux decreases.

[0086] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 3 does not adopt step S3, and the water flux and desalination rate of the prepared seawater desalination membrane are significantly reduced; this shows that Example 1 adopts step S3, that is, the aromatic sulfonyl chloride monomer is used in the second oil phase solution, which can react with the unreacted amine monomer in the primary reverse osmosis membrane, further improve the crosslinking degree of the polyamide functional layer, reduce the pore size of the polyamide functional layer, and improve the desalination rate; because the second oil phase solution contains a second organic solvent, after the primary reverse osmosis membrane is immersed in the second oil phase solution, the second organic solvent causes the primary reverse osmosis membrane to swell, the water channel expands, and the water flux is increased. However, Comparative Example 3 does not adopt step S3, resulting in a downward trend in the water flux and desalination rate of the prepared seawater desalination membrane.

[0087] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 4 does not adopt step S2, and the desalination rate of the seawater desalination membrane prepared therefrom is significantly reduced, while the water flux is significantly increased; this shows that Example 1 adopts step S2, that is, the combination of trimesoyl chloride and isophthaloyl chloride of a specific mass concentration in the first oil phase solution can improve the crosslinking degree of the polyamide functional layer and reduce the pore size of the polyamide functional layer; the first drying treatment is carried out under steam conditions, and the gaseous water molecules partially penetrate into the network channel of the polyamide functional layer and liquefy on the surface of the membrane to form a thin water layer, which on the one hand prevents the volatilization of the aqueous phase solution, and on the other hand, the high temperature environment of steam promotes the interfacial polymerization of the aqueous phase solution and the first oil phase solution to increase the crosslinking degree; on the other hand, the byproduct hydrogen chloride gas formed by the interfacial polymerization cannot break through the water layer in time, and it forms nanobubbles in the network channel of the polyamide functional layer. The nanobubbles move in the network channel of the polyamide functional layer to form water channels, increase the roughness of the polyamide functional layer, and improve the water flux. However, in Comparative Example 4, step S2 is not adopted, and the decrease in crosslinking degree leads to a large pore size of the polyamide functional layer formed on the support layer, which reduces the desalination rate. In addition, the decrease in crosslinking degree not only leads to a large pore size of the polyamide functional layer formed on the support layer, but also leads to a thin thickness of the polyamide functional layer, which increases the water flux.

[0088] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 5 adopts the first drying treatment under dry conditions, and the water flux and desalination rate of the seawater desalination membrane prepared therefrom are significantly reduced; this shows that the first drying treatment under steam conditions in Example 1 is helpful to improve the water flux and desalination rate. However, Comparative Example 5 adopts the first drying treatment under dry conditions, and it is impossible to liquefy and form a thin water layer on the surface of the membrane. On the one hand, the aqueous phase solution is easy to volatilize, so that the effective amine monomers polymerized with the first oil phase solution interface are reduced, and the cross-linking degree of the polyamide functional layer is reduced, resulting in a decrease in the desalination rate; on the other hand, the byproduct hydrogen chloride gas is easy to volatilize, and it is difficult to form nanobubbles in the network channel of the polyamide functional layer, thereby reducing the water channels of the polyamide functional layer and reducing the water flux.
