[0002] Nanofiltration membranes, as separation membranes with nanoscale pore sizes, have wide applications in wastewater treatment, material separation, and resource recovery. However, existing polyamide nanofiltration membranes are prone to hydrolysis and structural degradation in strong acid environments, leading to a sharp decline in separation performance. Current methods to improve the acid resistance of nanofiltration membranes mainly include: introducing acid-resistant chemical groups (such as sulfonic acid groups); reinforcing with inorganic nanomaterials (such as TiO2 and SiO2); and surface crosslinking modification.

[0003] However, these methods have limitations: single acid-resistant groups will still degrade under long-term extreme acid conditions; inorganic nanomaterials have poor interfacial compatibility with polymer matrices and are prone to peeling; and the surface modification layer is prone to detachment in acidic environments.

[0027] A further embodiment of the present invention also provides an application of an acid-resistant nanofiltration membrane, which is used in the treatment of acidic wastewater with a pH value not greater than 2, acid recovery in hydrometallurgical processes, or concentration and desalination of acidic dye wastewater.

[0028] It should be noted that the filter-resistant membrane of the present invention constructs a multi-layered, synergistic protection system that integrates physical barriers, chemical stability, and active repair.

[0029] Firstly, there is the static defense of chemical structure and physical barriers. The main chain of polyetheretherketoneketone (PEEKK) consists of aromatic rings, ketone groups, and ether bonds, forming a highly conjugated rigid structure. This rigid structure makes polymer chain movement difficult, and protons struggle to attack and break the main chain chemical bonds. Compared to traditional polysulfone (PSF) or polyethersulfone (PES) films, the phenylene units of PEEKK are more stable and less prone to ether bond breaking or sulfonation reactions under acid catalysis, thus providing a solid and acid-resistant underlying support for the entire film. Polysulfonamides, on the other hand, have sulfonamide bonds as their key bonds. The sulfur atom is in its highest oxidation state, exhibiting a strong electron-withdrawing effect, which enhances the acidity of the adjacent NH bond. However, the conjugation effect of the aromatic ring stabilizes the entire structure. In an acidic environment, it is far more difficult for protons to attack the sulfonamide bond than to attack the carbonyl carbon of the amide bond, thus providing the first chemical separation barrier to stabilize the PSA layer.

[0030] Zr-MOFs (especially the UIO-66 series) are renowned for their extremely high chemical stability, stemming from the strong coordination bonds formed between their Zr6O4(OH)4 metal cluster and organic ligands (terephthalic acid). The Zr-O bonds have extremely high bond energies, resisting proton attack. Embedding them as nanosheets within polyamine networks serves several purposes: acting as physical crosslinking points to enhance the rigidity of the polymer network and suppressing chain swelling and relaxation under acidic conditions; acting as pre-sieving channels, the regular pores of the MOF itself (approximately 0.6 nm) can perform preliminary sieving of ions and small molecules, reducing the separation burden on the subsequent polymer network and thus lowering the probability of damage; and acting as stress dispersion centers, the rigid MOF nanosheets can effectively disperse and dissipate localized stresses caused by protonation or osmotic pressure, preventing crack initiation and propagation.

[0031] Secondly, there is a dynamic defense against energy dissipation and interface stability. Through sequential interface aggregation, the interface between the PSA layer and the PA-MOF layer is not a sharp interface, but a region with a continuous transition in composition and properties. This is similar to a heterojunction in semiconductors, enabling "bandgap" matching. When acidic stress (which can be regarded as "electron-hole") is generated, the gradient structure can effectively disperse and guide these stresses, preventing them from concentrating at a single interface and causing delamination or cracking.

[0032] Then there's the active repair mechanism. The polyurea wall material in the microcapsules is stable under normal neutral conditions. When the membrane is damaged, acidic media seep in, causing a sharp drop in local pH. Under acidic conditions, the hydrolysis rate of the polyurea wall material accelerates dramatically, leading to rupture. The two repair agents in the core material work synergistically: isophorone diisocyanate, exposed to moisture at the damaged area, rapidly hydrolyzes and polymerizes to form polyurea, physically filling cracks and pores; hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane, as a hydrophobic silicone oil, spreads on the repair surface to form a hydrophobic barrier, preventing further penetration of moisture and acid, and assisting in the curing of IPDI; additionally, the cross-linked PVA hydrogel not only firmly fixes the microcapsules to the membrane surface but also possesses hydrophilicity, maintaining the surface hydration layer, providing some degree of anti-fouling, and offering a suitable microenvironment for the repair reaction.

[0033] These three layers of defense do not operate in isolation, but rather form a three-dimensional defense system. The first layer is responsible for resisting routine, uniform acid corrosion; the second layer is responsible for dealing with localized, concentrated stress impacts, preventing the formation of microscopic damage; once the first two lines of defense are breached and microscopic cracks appear, the third layer immediately activates to perform targeted removal and repair, nipping the damage in the bud. Through this synergistic mechanism of "static defense + dynamic buffering + active repair," an exceptionally long acid-resistant lifespan is achieved.

[0034] The following examples and comparative examples were tested respectively, and the experimental materials and testing methods were as follows: Water flux test: 25℃, 0.6 MPa operating pressure, effective membrane area 28.3 cm². 2 ; Retention rate test: 1000 ppm MgSO4 solution; Acid resistance test: The performance is tested after immersion in 20% H2SO4 at 80℃ for the corresponding time; Self-healing test: After creating standard damage (5 μm depth, 100 μm length) on the membrane surface using microneedles, the membrane was repaired for 24 hours in an acidic environment with pH=1, and the repair efficiency was calculated.

[0035] Example 1 Base film preparation: 22 wt% PEEKK and 1 wt% LiCl, with an intrinsic viscosity of 0.9 dL / g, were dissolved in N-methylpyrrolidone and stirred at 80°C for 24 hours to form a homogeneous casting solution. At 25°C and 60% humidity, the solution was coated onto a polyester nonwoven fabric using a doctor blade (200 μm gap). After evaporation in air for 10 seconds, the fabric was immersed in a 25°C pure water coagulation bath. After phase inversion, the fabric was soaked in deionized water for 48 hours.

[0036] Construction of the active layer of the gradient heterojunction: Step 1: Immerse the base film in an aqueous solution of 2.0 wt% 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone containing 0.1 wt% SDS for 2 min, remove excess aqueous phase by rolling, and react with an Isopar G solution of 0.15 wt% TMC for 120 seconds.

[0046] Example 5 The difference from Example 1 is that the microcapsule content was modified to 8 wt%.

[0047] The test results are as follows: Initial water flux: 13.8 L·m -2 ·h -1 ·bar -1 Initial MgSO4 rejection rate: 96.5%; After 720 hours of acid resistance testing: Water flux 12.5 L·m -2 ·h -1 ·bar -1 Retention rate: 95.7%; Self-repair efficiency: 91.4%.

[0048] Example 6 The difference from Example 1 is that the base film was immersed in an aqueous solution of 2.0 wt% 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone containing 0.1 wt% SDS for 2 min, the excess aqueous phase was removed by roller pressing, and the film was reacted with an Isopar G solution of 0.15 wt% TMC for 60 seconds.
