Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of membrane materials and water treatment, and specifically relates to a method for preparing a carbon nanomaterial-organic conductive composite membrane that can be self-cleaned by an electrochemical method and its application in water treatment using the membrane method. Background Art

[0002] Membrane fouling is the most critical challenge facing the application of membrane water treatment technology. Common methods for controlling membrane fouling currently include physical cleaning (such as hydraulic flushing and backwashing), chemical cleaning (such as the addition of oxidants, acids, and alkalis), and electrochemical anti-fouling techniques. Electrochemical membrane fouling control primarily relies on applying a certain electric field to the membrane surface, leveraging electrostatic repulsion to reduce the adsorption of membrane contaminants on the membrane surface or in situ degradation of membrane contaminants through the generation of active substances such as free radicals through electrochemical reactions. This method offers advantages such as ease of operation and environmental friendliness, and has broad development and application prospects. To reduce energy loss and enhance electrochemical anti-fouling effectiveness, a common approach currently involves adding a conductive layer composed of conductive materials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), polyaniline (PANI), and polypyrrole (PPy) to the organic substrate membrane, or directly incorporating conductive nanomaterials into the membrane to create a highly conductive composite membrane. The surface charge density of the conductive layer directly determines the electrostatic repulsion effect of the membrane. However, existing conductive membranes are generally modified with a single carbon nanomaterial or conductive polymer. Due to the structural and chemical properties of the material itself, the amount of surface charge they can carry is limited. In addition, the surface-modified conductive membranes generally have low mechanical strength and poor long-term operational stability. These shortcomings severely restrict the application of these electrochemical anti-fouling membranes. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for preparing an electrochemical self-cleaning conductive composite membrane and its water treatment application. The present invention first uses graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and other nanomaterials with high capacitance and PANI to surface modify conductive carbon nanomaterials such as CNT to prepare a precursor with excellent conductive properties and capacitance. Then, an organic polymer membrane such as polyethersulfone (PES) is used as a base membrane (support layer), and the precursor and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) cross-linking agent (together as a conductive layer) are fixed on the base membrane by filtration; the conductive composite membrane prepared by the present invention has a higher surface charge density, and the conductive layer of the composite membrane not only has a higher conductivity (can reduce power loss), but also has a higher capacitance performance (can provide a higher charge density). The present invention uses a material with high capacitance to construct a conductive layer, and the prepared composite membrane has a strong electrostatic repulsion effect on negatively charged substances such as proteins and humus (common membrane pollutants in water). The conductive composite membrane can be used for water treatment and other membrane separation / resource recovery applications.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion of the concepts of the present invention.

[0037] Example 1: Preparation of CNT-PANI-GQDs Conductive Composite Film Using CNT as Carbon Nanomaterial

[0038] S1. Preparation of GQDs: Using a Shanghai Chenhua 660E electrochemical workstation and a three-electrode system, a graphite electrode was used as the working electrode, a Ti sheet was used as the counter electrode, and Ag / AgCl was used as the reference electrode. In 50mL of 0.1mol / LKH2PO4 electrolyte, the chronoamperometry was used, the voltage was set to 3V, and the oxidation was carried out for 250min to obtain a dark brown solution. The dark brown solution was centrifuged at 12000rpm for 0.5h, the supernatant was collected and dialyzed with pure water for 2d (3000D). After dialysis, a portion of the solution was freeze-dried and weighed to obtain GQDs powder (based on the mass of the GQDs powder, the solution concentration can be further calculated to be 1.0mg / mL), and the remaining solution was stored for later use.

[0039] S2. Preparation of CNT-PANI-GQDs powder: Measure the solution containing 0.03g GQDs prepared in step S1 and add it to 0.17g CNT, add 50mL ethanol, and ultrasonicate for 1h; add 0.2g aniline and 4.2mL concentrated hydrochloric acid to the stirred solution under an ice bath, and the HCl concentration in the resulting solution is 1mol / L; disperse 61mg ammonium persulfate in 50mL 1mol / L hydrochloric acid to obtain an ammonium persulfate-hydrochloric acid solution, and add the ammonium persulfate-hydrochloric acid solution dropwise to the above solution at a rate of 2mL / min; after reacting for 12h under ice bath, filter the solution, wash the precipitate with ethanol and water, and freeze-dry to obtain CNT-PANI-GQDs powder (precursor powder), and polyaniline is obtained by the reaction of ammonium persulfate and aniline added later.

[0040] S3. Preparation of CNT-PANI-GQDs conductive composite film: 5 mg of CNT-PANI-GQDs powder and 20 mg of SDBS obtained in step S2 were dispersed in 20 mL of water, and the CNT-PANI-GQDs solution was obtained after ultrasonic treatment for 20 min for standby use; a PES base membrane (4 cm in diameter) was placed on a filtration device, and 10 mL of PVA solution (concentration of 0.15 wt%), CNT-PANI-GQDs solution, 100 mL of water and 10 mL of PVA solution (concentration of 0.15 wt%) were filtered on its surface in sequence, and the PES membrane loaded with CNT-PANI-GQDs on the surface was immersed in glutaraldehyde-hydrochloric acid solution (glutaraldehyde concentration of 1 wt%, HCl concentration of 1 mol / L), reacted at 90 ° C for 15 min, and dried for standby use.

[0041] With reference to the preparation process of CNT-PANI-GQDs powder in step S2 above, control samples of CNT and GQDs mixed powder and CNT and PANI mixed powder were prepared. In addition, CNT powder was also selected as a control sample.

[0042] CNT and GQDs mixed powder: Measure the solution containing 0.03 g of GQDs prepared in step S1 and add it to 0.17 g of CNT, add 50 mL of ethanol, and sonicate for 1 hour; add 4.2 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid to the stirred solution under an ice bath; add 50 mL of 1 mol / L hydrochloric acid dropwise to the above solution at a rate of 2 mL / min; after continuing to react under an ice bath for 12 hours, filter the solution, wash the precipitate with ethanol and water, and freeze-dry to obtain CNT and GQDs mixed powder.

[0043] CNT and PANI mixed powder: 0.17 g of CNT was added to 50 mL of ethanol and sonicated for 1 hour. 0.2 g of aniline and 4.2 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid were added to the stirred solution under an ice bath. 61 mg of ammonium persulfate was dispersed in 50 mL of 1 mol / L hydrochloric acid to obtain an ammonium persulfate-hydrochloric acid solution, which was added dropwise to the above solution at a rate of 2 mL / min. After a further 12 hours of reaction under an ice bath, the solution was filtered, the precipitate was washed with ethanol and water, and freeze-dried to obtain a CNT and PANI mixed powder.

[0044] The CNT-PANI-GQDs powder in step S3 was replaced with CNT powder, CNT and GQDs mixed powder, and CNT and PANI mixed powder. CNT, CNT-GQDs, and CNT-PANI were loaded onto the PES support layer according to the method of step S3 to prepare CNT, CNT-GQDs, and CNT-PANI conductive films.

[0045] like Figure 1As shown, a CNT-PANI-GQDs conductive composite membrane is used in an electrically driven cross-flow pressure cell device. The conductive composite membrane is disposed within a membrane cell, which is provided with a feed inlet and a discharge inlet. The base membrane of the conductive composite membrane is disposed near the discharge inlet, and a counter electrode is disposed near the feed inlet. The conductive composite membrane and the counter electrode are each connected to a DC power supply via a wire. The counter electrode is a titanium mesh, and a spacer is disposed between the conductive composite membrane and the titanium mesh serving as the counter electrode. The conductive composite membrane serves as the working electrode, and a titanium mesh is also disposed on the side of the conductive composite membrane near the spacer. The applications in Examples 3-5 all utilize the above-described device.

[0046] The electrically driven cross-flow pressure cell device uses the CNT-PANI-GQDs conductive composite film prepared in step (3) of Example 1, which can also be replaced with CNT, CNT-GQDs, and CNT-PANI conductive films for comparison.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown in Figure 2, GQDs with a diameter of 3-7 nm formed agglomerates and wrapped around CNTs. In addition, in CNT-PANI-GQDs, in addition to the same PANI-wrapped CNT structure, spherical substances composed of GQDs were observed connected to the CNT-PANI backbone. In this unique structure, the spherical substance containing GQDs can provide an effective spatial structure for electron transmission, while the wrapped PANI acts as a bridge for electron transmission between the external circuit and the spherical substance, making the transmission process faster and more stable. In addition, as Figure 2 and 3 As shown in the figure, quinone amine and aniline peaks belonging to PANI were observed in the CNT-PANI and CNT-PANI-GQDs materials. The O 1s spectrum results show that the C=O ratio in CNT-GQDs and CNT-PANI-GQDs increased, indicating that the carbonyl content increased after GQD modification. By introducing zero-dimensional GQDs into the one-dimensional CNT-PANI network, not only the nanostructure was changed, but the number of active functional groups was significantly increased.

[0048] Example 2: Hydrophilicity and mechanical stability test of CNT-PANI-GQDs conductive composite film

[0049] According to step S3, CNT, CNT-GQDs, CNT-PANI and CNT-PANI-GQDs were loaded onto the PES support layer to obtain four corresponding conductive films. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, after loading the conductive layer, a modified CNT active layer of 5-6 μm thick was formed on the top of the sponge-like PES membrane. The thickness of the active layer of the four materials is close. At the same time, AFM analysis shows that the surface roughness of the four conductive films is similar (Ra is 70-80 nm), and Raman test shows that I D / I GThe value increases, which is beneficial to improving the electrochemical activity of the conductive film. Figure 5 As shown in Figure 3, the contact angles of CNT-GQDs, CNT-PANI, and CNT-PANI-GQDs films decreased compared to unmodified CNTs, with the CNT-PANI-GQDs film having the smallest contact angle. This is because the presence of hydrophilic functional groups in PANI and GQDs increases the hydrophilicity of the film, which helps to reduce the adhesion of hydrophobic organic pollutants. Figure 6 As shown in the figure, these functional groups can also promote the cross-linking of the material with PVA and glutaraldehyde, enhance the mechanical stability of the membrane, and after 30 minutes of ultrasound in water, there is no obvious change in the active layer of the CNT-GQDs, CNT-PANI and CNT-PANI-GQDs conductive composite films.

[0050] This embodiment demonstrates that the CNT-PANI-GQDs conductive composite film of the present invention has good hydrophilicity and excellent mechanical stability.

[0051] Example 3: Application of CNT-PANI-GQDs conductive composite membrane in filtering dextran under electrically driven conditions

[0052] like Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the conductivity of CNT, CNT-GQDs, CNT-PANI and CNT-PANI-GQDs conductive composite films measured by the four-probe method is in the order of CNT-PANI-GQDs≈CNT-PANI>CNT-GQDs>CNT. Applying +2.5V and -2.5V voltages has no obvious effect on the pure water flux, which is comparable to the pure water flux of the unmodified CNT membrane (182L·m -2 ·h -1 bar -1 ), the pure water flux of the CNT-GQDs, CNT-PANI, and CNT-PANI-GQDs membranes decreased slightly compared to the CNT-GQDs membranes. However, in a homemade cross-flow pressure cell apparatus, the retention of 100 ppm 10 kDa, 100 kDa, and 300 kDa dextran solutions by the membrane electrode was tested, and the retention performance of the CNT-PANI and CNT-PANI-GQDs membranes was improved.

[0053] This embodiment shows that the CNT-PANI-GQDs conductive composite film of the present invention has excellent conductive properties. Under electric drive conditions, it can effectively retain polymers of different molecular weights, showing excellent electron utilization and stable water treatment performance.

[0054] Example 4: Anti-pollution application of CNT-PANI-GQDs conductive composite membrane in electrically driven filtration of BSA solution

[0055] In a self-made cross-flow pressure cell device, the electrically driven anti-fouling performance of CNT, CNT-GQDs, CNT-PANI, and CNT-PANI-GQDs conductive films was compared. Figure 8 As shown in the figure, applying a -2.5V voltage to the conductive membrane significantly increased its water flux compared to when no voltage was applied, and the magnitude of the water flux decrease was reduced, indicating that membrane fouling was suppressed. Specifically, the electrically driven CNT-PANI-GQDs conductive composite membrane maintained a water flux of over 90% for 60 minutes, and the surface contaminant content of the CNT-PANI-GQDs conductive composite membrane was minimal after use.

[0056] This embodiment shows that under electric driving conditions, the CNT-PANI-GQDs conductive composite film of the present invention has good and stable anti-pollution performance.

[0057] Example 5: Application of CNT-PANI-GQDs conductive composite membrane in treating actual wastewater under electrically driven conditions

[0058] In actual wastewater treatment, we first filter the wastewater at 1 bar and -2.5 V, then change the feed liquid to pure water, electrochemically clean the conductive membrane at +3.0 V for 15 minutes, and repeat the cycle. Figure 9 As shown, the normalized flux of the CNT-PANI-GQDs membrane electrode decreased slowly over four cycles. After 60 minutes of operation, electrochemical cleaning at +3.0 V restored the normalized flux of the CNT-PANI-GQDs membrane to 0.9-0.95, demonstrating that the combination of electrically driven antifouling and electrochemical cleaning can effectively suppress membrane flux decline and achieve self-cleaning of the membrane electrode in practical applications. Furthermore, the enhanced electrically driven repulsive force increased the TOC removal rate of the CNT-PANI-GQDs membrane.

[0059] This embodiment shows that the CNT-PANI-GQDs conductive composite membrane of the present invention can effectively intercept pollutants when used in membrane treatment processes, and at the same time, combine with electric drive to achieve membrane self-cleaning of contamination, so it has good water treatment capacity and renewability.
