Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of loose nanofiltration membrane separation, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a loose nanofiltration membrane by using carbon quantum dots to promote rapid deposition of polydopamine. BACKGROUND

[0002] Large-volume and high-colority printing and dyeing wastewater has been the focus of industrial wastewater treatment in China. A large amount of inorganic salts in wastewater have high recycling value. Therefore, if the dyes and inorganic salts in printing and dyeing wastewater can be efficiently separated, the wastewater treatment and recycling of resources can be realized, which has important economic significance for the green development of the printing and dyeing industry.

[0003] As an efficient, environmentally friendly and energy-saving separation technology, membrane separation has a wide application in water purification and softening, wastewater treatment, industrial purification and recovery. Among them, nanofiltration has become one of the hotspots of membrane separation technology research due to its low operating pressure and high separation efficiency. In recent years, the dopamine deposition technology based on the mimicry of mussels has been applied to the preparation of loose nanofiltration membranes, realizing the effective separation of dyes and inorganic salts (high dye rejection rate and low inorganic salt rejection rate). However, the dopamine oxidation self-polymerization reaction is usually carried out in air for a long time (usually for several hours), and the uniformity of the deposited polydopamine coating is poor, and there are large polydopamine aggregate particles in the coating, which affects the compactness and stability of the polydopamine coating.

[0004] Therefore, some literatures (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2016, 55, 3054-3057; Chem. Eng. J. 2020, 388, 124200; J. Colloid Interface Sci., 2018, 523, 86-97) have reported methods for promoting rapid deposition of polydopamine for preparing nanofiltration membranes. However, some prepared nanofiltration membranes are too dense to realize effective separation of dyes and inorganic salts (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2016, 55); some need to add macromolecular amine monomers to avoid the precipitation of polydopamine particles due to the too fast oxidation speed (Chem. Eng. J. 2020, 388, 124200), and in addition, an extra hydrogen peroxide reagent needs to be added, increasing the economic cost. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a method for preparing a loose nanofiltration membrane by using carbon quantum dots to promote rapid deposition of polydopamine, which utilizes carbon quantum dots to promote the polymerization of dopamine to polydopamine, realizes uniform deposition of polydopamine in a short time, and obtains a loose nanofiltration membrane for efficient separation of dyes and inorganic salts.

[0006] The technical scheme adopted by the present application to solve its technical problems is:

[0007] A method for preparing a loose nanofiltration membrane by carbon quantum dots promoting rapid deposition of polydopamine, the method comprising the following steps:

[0011] S2, preparing a loose nanofiltration membrane by rapid deposition of polydopamine

[0012] Dissolve dopamine in a Tris buffer solution containing 20mM, pH 8.5, so that the mass concentration of dopamine is 1-8g / L; add carbon quantum dots to the system, control the mass ratio of dopamine to carbon quantum dots to be 1:1-4, and obtain a dopamine solution containing carbon quantum dots;

[0014] Generally speaking, the deposition of dopamine takes several hours or even dozens of hours, but the improvement of the present application can be completed within one hour. The present application solves the problems of slow deposition speed and poor deposition uniformity of polydopamine by adding carbon quantum dots to dopamine, and effectively prepares a loose nanofiltration membrane for efficient separation of dye-inorganic salt. Carbon quantum dots can produce a large amount of active oxygen under visible light, which promotes the polymerization of dopamine and the rapid deposition of polydopamine on the ultrafiltration membrane. The loose nanofiltration membrane prepared by the present application has a uniform polydopamine coating, can realize efficient separation of dye-inorganic salt, and has practical application value.

The calculation formula is: Wherein, A is the effective membrane area (22.5cm 2 ); t is the time required for the permeate of the collection volume V; C p and C f are the concentrations of the feed liquid and the permeate, respectively.

[0068] Example 7:

[0069] After pyrolysis at 240℃ for 1h with 1g arginine as carbon source, the sample was cooled to room temperature, 20mL deionized water was added and ultrasonic treatment was performed for 30min to obtain a dispersion of carbon quantum dots. Larger particles were removed by centrifugation, and the dispersion was dialyzed in a dialysis bag for 72h. Finally, the carbon quantum dots were obtained by freeze-drying.

[0070] A polyacrylonitrile ultrafiltration membrane was placed in a clamp for use. 2g / L dopamine was dissolved in 30mL Tris buffer solution containing 20mM, pH 8.5, and carbon quantum dots were added (the mass ratio of carbon quantum dots to dopamine was 1:3).

The change of the ultraviolet absorption of indole group with time in the above two solutions was measured as shown in Figure 1 . According to Figure 1 , it can be seen that the addition of carbon quantum dots promotes the rapid increase of the ultraviolet absorption intensity of indole group, indicating that under the same conditions, carbon quantum dots can promote the polymerization of dopamine to form polydopamine more than air.

[0073] Test for proving the production of active oxygen by carbon quantum dots

[0074] 2mL of 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein phosphate buffer solution at 10μg / mL was prepared, then 1mg of carbon quantum dots was added, and the fluorescence intensity of the solution at 520nm was measured after visible light irradiation for 1-5min, respectively. The 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein phosphate buffer solution without the addition of carbon quantum dots was used as a blank control sample. The change of fluorescence intensity is shown in Figure 2 .

[0075] from Figure 2 It is known that 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein can be oxidized by reactive oxygen species, and the oxidation product fluoresces at 520 nm. Compared with the blank control, the solution with added carbon quantum dots has a higher fluorescence intensity, and the fluorescence intensity increases rapidly over time, indicating that carbon quantum dots can generate a large amount of reactive oxygen species. Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is known that carbon quantum dots promote the rapid polymerization of dopamine because they generate a large amount of reactive oxygen species.

[0076] The surface morphology of the loose nanofiltration membrane (prepared in Example 1) prepared by carbon quantum dot-assisted rapid deposition of polydopamine is shown in the figure. Figure 3 The surface morphology of nanofiltration membranes prepared by polydopamine deposition under conventional air oxidation conditions (Comparative Example 1) is shown in the figure. Figure 4 .according to Figure 3 and Figure 4 It is known that carbon quantum dots can promote the rapid polymerization of dopamine, and the resulting polydopamine can be uniformly covered on the surface of polyacrylonitrile. In contrast, polydopamine obtained by air oxidation has a slow polymerization rate and is prone to forming large polydopamine particles, which is not conducive to forming a uniform nanofiltration membrane surface.

[0077] In summary, the addition of carbon quantum dots promotes the polymerization and rapid deposition of dopamine, forming a loose nanofiltration membrane within 45-60 minutes. This membrane exhibits high dye rejection and low sodium chloride rejection, enabling the separation of dyes and inorganic salts. Under the same conditions, the polydopamine nanofiltration membrane deposited by oxidation in air shows a lower dye rejection rate (only 75.4%), far below the performance requirements for dye-inorganic salt separation. The ratio of carbon quantum dots to dopamine significantly affects the performance of the prepared nanofiltration membrane. Excessive carbon quantum dots can act as nanofillers, reducing the density of the polydopamine deposition layer and decreasing the dye rejection rate. Furthermore, heat treatment conditions also significantly impact the prepared nanofiltration membrane. Increasing the heat treatment temperature and time improves the dye rejection rate but reduces the water flux. Therefore, the nanofiltration membrane with the optimal overall performance is achieved when the mass ratio of carbon quantum dots to dopamine is in the range of 1:1-2, the heat treatment temperature is 40℃, and the treatment time is 20 minutes.
