Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of MOF functional membranes, and in particular, relates to a metal organic framework fiber membrane and its application. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, environmental pollution has garnered widespread attention. Studies have shown that pesticide pollution is a major cause of environmental pollution, primarily due to its overuse. Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) are the most widely used pesticides in my country. Among them, chlorpyrifos is a highly effective, broad-spectrum organophosphorus insecticide. Long-term application can have long-term adverse effects on water bodies, and through continuous migration and transformation, it can ultimately harm human health through the food chain. Therefore, it is necessary to find appropriate methods to remove organophosphorus pesticides.

[0003] There are many methods for removing organophosphorus pesticides, primarily biological, chemical, catalytic, and adsorption. Biological methods are difficult to operate, require complex bacterial screening, and are significantly affected by environmental factors. Chemical methods for treating organophosphorus pollutants can achieve high removal efficiencies without causing secondary pollution, but they are relatively expensive. Of these methods, catalytic and adsorption are relatively simple and economical.

[0004] Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), as an emerging porous material, have attracted widespread attention from scientists. MOFs are widely used for the adsorption and removal of organophosphorus pesticides due to their advantages, including high porosity, low density, large specific surface area, regular pore structure, adjustable pore size, diverse topological structures, and tailorability. Liu et al. successfully prepared a novel biomimetic metal-organic framework (Fe3O4-g-C3N4-PDA@MIL-101) with a high specific surface area, multi-microchannel structure, and strong thermochemical stability. This material has high adsorption efficiency and is an ideal adsorbent for removing organophosphorus pesticides from Chinese cabbage and green onion samples.

[0005] Since MOF itself is a powder structure, it has the following problems in practical applications:

[0006] (1) MOF is unstable in aqueous solution and its structure is prone to collapse. These disadvantages limit the application of MOF in water treatment. (2) Due to the large surface tension, the metal particles in MOF are prone to agglomeration, which leads to a significant decrease in the catalytic activity of MOF. (3) MOF is difficult to handle and recycle, which is not conducive to reuse.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new MOF composites. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The present invention provides a metal-organic framework fiber membrane (MOF / PAN fiber membrane) for removing organophosphorus pesticides to address the aforementioned issues. The MOF / PAN fiber membrane prepared in this invention features a simple preparation method, low cost, good stability and removal efficiency, and is easily recyclable and reusable.

[0009] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a metal organic framework fiber membrane, which is prepared by a method comprising the following steps:

[0010] Step 1: dissolving polyacrylonitrile, tetrakis(4-tetrazolylphenyl)ethylene and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate in a first organic solvent, and stirring overnight at room temperature to fully dissolve them to obtain a spinning solution;

[0039] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below. Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] Preparation of MOF / PAN fiber membrane

[0042] Step 1: Dissolve 1 g of polyacrylonitrile (PAN, molecular weight 150,000), 120 mg of tetrakis(4-tetrazolylphenyl)ethylene (H4TTPE), and 2 mL of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) in 8 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and stir overnight at room temperature to fully dissolve them to obtain solution A, which is the spinning solution.

[0043] Step 2: Solution A was electrospun at a humidity of 40%, a voltage of 13.5 kV, a spinning rate of 1.1 mL / h, and a receiver speed of 200 rpm. After spinning, the membrane was vacuum-dried at 40°C for 12 hours to obtain a PAN / H4TTPE membrane.

[0044] Step 3: Immerse one-twelfth of the PAN / H4TTPE membrane obtained in step 2 (the mass of H4TTPE contained is about 10 mg) in 50 mL of a methanol solution containing 0.1 g of azobisisoheptanenitrile and irradiate under a UV lamp (10 W) for 2 hours for crosslinking;

[0045] Step 4: Place the cross-linked PAN / H4TTPE membrane obtained in step 3 into a 100 mL blue-capped reagent bottle;

[0046] Step 5: Dissolve 0.36 g of Cu(NO3)2·3H2O in 10 mL of a mixture of DMF and ethanol (1:1, v:v) to obtain solution B.

[0047] Step 6: Pour solution B into the 100 mL blue-capped reagent bottle in step 4, then add 150 μL of concentrated hydrochloric acid and shake slowly until the solution turns yellow-green;

[0048] Step 7: Seal the 100 mL blue-capped reagent bottle in step 6 with sealing film and react in a water bath at 60°C for 24 hours. After the reaction, wash the membrane three times with ethanol and then vacuum dry it at 60°C for 12 hours to obtain a MOF / PAN fiber membrane.

[0049] SEM characterization of PAN / H4TTPE spinning membrane and MOF / PAN fiber membrane was carried out. Figure 1 Scanning electron microscope images and Figure 2 High-resolution lens mapping images show that MOF was grown in situ on the PAN / H4TTPE spinning membrane, and MOF-spun fiber membrane was successfully synthesized. Figure 3a This is a photo of MOF / PAN fiber membrane.

[0050] Comparative Example 1

[0051] The fiber membrane was prepared according to the method of Example 1, except that EGDMA was not added during the preparation process. Figure 3bAs shown in the figure, it can be seen that almost no MOF is generated on the surface of the spun fiber membrane, or very little MOF is grown, and the fiber membrane is obviously thinner (compared to Figure 3a ), it is possible that part of the membrane is dissolved by the organic solvent, resulting in the inability to grow MOF materials in situ on the fiber membrane.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] Removal of 10 μg / mL chlorpyrifos solution by MOF / PAN fiber membrane in different solvents.

[0054] Step 1: Prepare solvents with different ratios of water and methanol according to the table below.

[0055] Water and methanol ratio Amount of water added (mL) Amount of methanol added (mL) Solvent volume (mL) Water:methanol=5:1 10 2 12 Water:methanol=2:1 8 4 12 Water:methanol=1:1 6 6 12 Water:methanol=1:2 4 8 12 Water:methanol=1:5 2 10 12 Water:methanol=1:10 1 10 11

[0056] Step 2: Prepare 5 mL of 10 μg / mL chlorpyrifos solution using different solvents;

[0057] Step 3: 5 mg of MOF / PAN fiber membrane was immersed in 1 mL of 10 μg / mL chlorpyrifos solution prepared in different solvents and shaken on a horizontal shaker at 85 rpm in the dark for 1 hour;

[0058] Step 4: After step 3, the supernatant after the reaction was filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane (nylon 66) to obtain the test solution;

[0059] Step 5: The test solution obtained in step 4 is quantitatively determined by HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography). The minimum detection limit of the HPLC method is 250 ng / mL.

[0060] The calculation formula for the removal rate is:

[0061] (where C0 is the initial concentration of chlorpyrifos, C t is the concentration of the chlorpyrifos supernatant after the reaction)

[0062] The removal effect of MOF / PAN fiber membrane on 10 μg / mL chlorpyrifos solution in different solvents is shown in Figure 2. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the MOF / PAN fiber membrane demonstrated high removal efficiency for a 10 μg / mL chlorpyrifos solution in various solvents. The highest removal rate, reaching 100%, was achieved in a 1:10 water:methanol mixture. Therefore, a 1:10 water:methanol mixture was ultimately selected as the solvent for the MOF / PAN fiber membrane to remove chlorpyrifos.

[0063] Example 3 Removal kinetics of 10 μg / mL chlorpyrifos solution by MOF / PAN fiber membrane

[0064] Step 1: Prepare a 10 μg / mL chlorpyrifos solution using a mixture of water and methanol in a ratio of 1:10 as solvent;

[0065] Step 2: Immerse 5 mg of MOF / PAN fiber membrane in 1 mL of a 10 μg / mL chlorpyrifos solution. Shake the sample in the dark on an 85 rpm horizontal shaker for different time periods (0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 min). The blank control is 0, in which no MOF / PAN fiber membrane is added.

[0066] Step 3: When each sample reaches the set time, remove it from the horizontal shaker, aspirate the supernatant, and filter it with a 0.22 μm filter membrane (nylon 66) to obtain the test solution;

[0067] Step 4: The test solution obtained in step 3 is quantitatively determined by HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography).

[0068] The results are as follows Figure 5 As shown, it can be seen that the MOF / PAN fiber membrane has a fast removal rate for 10 μg / mL chlorpyrifos solution, and can reach 100% removal in 5 minutes.

[0069] Example 4 Removal of chlorpyrifos solutions of different concentrations by MOF / PAN fiber membrane

[0070] Step 1: Using a mixture of water and methanol (1:10) as solvent, prepare 5 μg / mL, 10 μg / mL, 20 μg / mL, 40 μg / mL, 80 μg / mL, 160 μg / mL, and 320 μg / mL chlorpyrifos solutions by gradient dilution method;

[0071] Step 2: 5 mg of MOF / PAN fiber membrane was immersed in 1 mL of the above-mentioned chlorpyrifos solution with different concentrations, and shaken in the dark on a horizontal shaker at 85 rpm for 15 minutes;

[0072] Step 3: After step 2, the supernatant was aspirated and filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane (nylon 66) to obtain the test solution;

[0073] Step 4: The test solution obtained in step 3 is quantitatively determined by HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography).

[0074] The results are as follows Figure 6 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that the MOF / PAN fiber membrane has a high removal effect on chlorpyrifos solutions with different concentrations, indicating that the MOF / PAN fiber membrane has good removal performance.

[0075] While various embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the above description is intended to be illustrative, not exhaustive, and not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
