Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of water treatment, more particularly, it relates to a semi-permeable membrane for seawater desalination and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Seawater desalination refers to separating pollutants, bacteria, viruses, aquatic organisms and other substances in seawater from water, and common methods include seawater freezing method, electrodialysis method, distillation method, reverse osmosis method and ammonium carbonate ion exchange method, etc., wherein the reverse osmosis method is the most common method.

[0003] The reverse osmosis method is also called membrane separation desalination method, which separates the seawater by adjusting the osmotic pressure so that fresh water can pass through the semi-permeable membrane; the semi-permeable membrane commonly uses aromatic polyamide membrane as the reverse osmosis membrane, the surface of the aromatic polyamide membrane has carboxyl groups and is negatively charged, and in the process of seawater separation, bacteria, viruses, aquatic organisms and colloidal particles in seawater are easily attached to the surface of the semi-permeable membrane, which not only easily blocks the pores to affect the flow of water, resulting in the influence of seawater desalination efficiency, but also easily shortens the service life of the semi-permeable membrane due to the metabolic acid of the organisms attached to the surface of the semi-permeable membrane and the corrosion of other substances in seawater to the semi-permeable membrane.

[0004] Therefore, how to prepare a semi-permeable membrane for efficiently separating bacteria, viruses, aquatic organisms and fresh water in seawater, and even under the condition of long-term use, the semi-permeable membrane still has high separation efficiency and the surface is not easy to attach bacteria, viruses, aquatic organisms and other substances, so that the semi-permeable membrane has a long service life. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to prepare a semi-permeable membrane for efficiently separating bacteria, viruses, aquatic organisms and fresh water in seawater, and even under the condition of long-term use, the semi-permeable membrane still has high separation efficiency and the surface is not easy to attach bacteria, viruses, aquatic organisms and other substances, so that the semi-permeable membrane has a long service life; the present application provides a semi-permeable membrane for seawater desalination and a preparation method thereof.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a semi-permeable membrane for seawater desalination, which adopts the following technical scheme:

[0007] A semi-permeable membrane for seawater desalination, which is composed of an aromatic polyamide membrane and an adsorption layer;

[0008] The adsorption layer is composed of a chitosan membrane and a rebound particle;

[0009] The chitosan membrane contains the following raw materials by weight: chitosan solution 80-100 parts, graphene modified flexible fiber 20-30 parts, glycerol 0.5-1 part, and glutaraldehyde 0.2-0.5 part.

[0010] By adopting the technical scheme, the chitosan solution is used as a film-forming base material, and the filling and dispersion effect of the graphene modified flexible fiber is combined to construct a network structure of the chitosan solution and the graphene modified flexible fiber. When seawater is filtered, the bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect of the chitosan solution is combined with the blocking effect of the network structure to block marine organisms and colloid ions in seawater and intercept and repel viruses and bacteria. Meanwhile, the high fiber content and the large porosity between the fiber and the chitosan solution facilitate the flow of water and ensure the filtering efficiency of fresh water.

[0011] The rebound particles are attached to one side of the adsorption layer. Under the action of the pressure of seawater separation, the graphene modified flexible fiber is prone to fiber filament deformation, that is, the fiber filament is prone to deformation and bending of the fiber filament end toward the side of the aromatic polyamide membrane with the flow of water, which can further ensure the separation efficiency of seawater. Under the action of the pressure, the chitosan membrane formed by the chitosan solution and the graphene modified flexible fiber is prone to deformation and indentation to extrude the rebound particles. When the pressure is removed, the rebound particles rebound the chitosan membrane by using the good rebound elasticity, so as to rebound the killed viruses, bacteria and other aquatic organisms attached to the surface of the chitosan membrane out of the surface of the adsorption layer. Thus, the semi-permeable membrane has a long service life while maintaining a high separation efficiency and the surface is not easy to attach bacteria, viruses and aquatic organisms under the condition of long-time use.

[0012] Preferably, the rebound particles are composed of carrier sepiolite and multi-aperture silica gel particles with a mass ratio of 1:0.2-0.4.

[0013] By adopting the technical scheme, the carrier sepiolite and the multi-aperture silica gel particles are combined to use the flexibility and elasticity of the sepiolite and the elasticity and rebound elasticity of the multi-aperture silica gel particles. After being subjected to the pressure, the rebound particles are prone to deformation. After the pressure is removed, the rebound particles can rebound the chitosan membrane by using the rebound elasticity to rebound the bacteria and viruses on the surface of the chitosan membrane out of the surface of the chitosan membrane, so as to meet the long-time use of the semi-permeable membrane.

[0014] Both the sepiolite and the multi-aperture silica gel particles contain multi-aperture structures to meet the flow of water and the attachment of bacteria and viruses in the internal pores of the sepiolite and the multi-aperture silica gel particles, so as to further filter the bacteria and viruses in seawater and ensure the sterility of fresh water.

[0017] When the pressure is extruded, the elastic particles are compressed with the deformation of the flexible fiber, the support effect of the cellulose fiber is used to avoid the occlusion of the open porosity of the pored sepiolite after compression as much as possible, and therefore the filtration of seawater is ensured, the adsorption layer is not easily attached to aquatic organisms, bacteria, viruses and the like through the rebound of the rebound particles after the pressure is removed, and the service life of the semi-permeable membrane is prolonged.

[0018] The pored sepiolite, the chitosan quaternary ammonium salt solution and the cellulose fiber are matched, the support structure of the cellulose fiber is used, the hydroxyl on the surface of the cellulose fiber is connected with the amino in the chitosan quaternary ammonium salt, the cellulose fiber is dispersed and filled in the chitosan quaternary ammonium salt, the porosity after the chitosan quaternary ammonium salt solution is formed into a film is increased, the filtration and circulation effect of water is ensured in cooperation with the porous structure of the pored sepiolite, and the filtration and circulation effect of water is further ensured in cooperation with the water absorption and expansion effect of the pored sepiolite.

[0019] Preferably, the pored sepiolite is prepared by treating pored sepiolite particles with a menthol solution.

[0020] By adopting the technical scheme, the pored sepiolite, the menthol solution, the chitosan solution and the chitosan quaternary ammonium salt solution are matched, the menthol is loaded by using the porous structure of the pored sepiolite, the bacteria and viruses in seawater first contact the chitosan, the bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect of the chitosan is used to kill the bacteria and viruses in seawater, the bacteria and viruses in seawater are killed again by using the chitosan quaternary ammonium salt, even if the bacteria enter the rebound particles, the bacteria in the pored sepiolite can be killed by using the menthol, the menthol is not easily affected to the filtration of seawater because the menthol is insoluble in water, the attachment stability of the chitosan quaternary ammonium salt on the surface of the pored sepiolite is further improved by matching the hydroxyl on the surface of the pored sepiolite with the hydroxyl in the menthol, and the heavy metal ions in seawater can be complexed, and the seawater desalination treatment is facilitated.

[0021] Preferably, the cellulose fiber is prepared by treating cellulose fiber filaments with a sophoramine solution.

[0022] By adopting the technical scheme, the cellulose fiber and the matrine solution are combined, the matrine solution has the sterilization and bacteriostasis effect, and the bacteria and viruses in seawater are further killed, and when water flows around the cellulose fiber, the water purification effect can be achieved.

[0023] Preferably, the graphene modified flexible fiber is composed of alumina fiber, carbon fiber, graphene and ethyl cellulose solution with a mass ratio of 1:0.2-0.5:0.1-0.2:0.05-0.1.

[0024] By adopting the technical scheme, the alumina fiber, carbon fiber, graphene and ethyl cellulose solution are combined, the flexibility of the alumina fiber and the partial flexibility of the carbon fiber are utilized, the graphene is adhered to the surface of the alumina fiber and the carbon fiber by the trace amount of ethyl cellulose solution, the graphene surface is negatively charged, the graphene modified flexible fiber is crosslinked with the chitosan solution to build a network, and the graphene modified flexible fiber is adhered to the rebound particles, the structure stability of the semi-permeable membrane is improved, the network structure with multiple voids facilitates water flow, and the service life of the semi-permeable membrane is prolonged.

[0025] Preferably, the length of the alumina fiber is 60-100 microns, and the length of the carbon fiber is 20-40 microns.

[0026] By adopting the technical scheme, the alumina fiber is used as the basic support, and the carbon fiber is attached to the surface, so that the flexibility, elasticity and rebound of the graphene modified flexible fiber are ensured.

[0027] Preferably, the chitosan solution is composed of chitosan dilute acetic acid solution, talcum powder and titanium dioxide with a mass ratio of 1:0.1-0.2:0.05-0.1.

[0028] By adopting the technical scheme, the chitosan dilute acetic acid solution, talcum powder and titanium dioxide are combined, the lubricating effect of the talcum powder and the titanium dioxide is utilized, the adhesion of the water organisms, bacteria, viruses and other substances in seawater to the surface of the adsorption layer is prevented, the adhered water organisms are bounced off under the rebound effect of the rebound particles, even under the use condition for a long time, the semi-permeable membrane has high separation efficiency, the bacteria, viruses and other substances are not easily adhered to the surface of the semi-permeable membrane, and the semi-permeable membrane has a long service life.

[0029] Preferably, the particle size of the talcum powder is 40-80 nm, and the particle size of the titanium dioxide is 10-40 nm.

[0030] By adopting the technical scheme, the particle sizes of the talcum powder and the titanium dioxide are limited, the separation effect is ensured, and the adhesion of the microorganisms in seawater to the surface of the semi-permeable membrane is prevented as much as possible.

[0031] In a second aspect, the application provides a preparation method of a semi-permeable membrane for seawater desalination, which adopts the following technical scheme:

[0032] A preparation method of a semi-permeable membrane for seawater desalination, comprising the following steps:

[0033] S1, uniformly mix and stir a chitosan solution, graphene modified flexible fiber, glycerol and glutaraldehyde, flow cast a film, and uniformly spray elastic particles on the surface of the film layer to obtain an adsorption layer;

[0034] S2, uniformly spray an ethyl cellulose solution around the aromatic polyamide membrane, then adhere the side of the adsorption layer provided with the elastic particles to the side of the aromatic polyamide membrane sprayed with the ethyl cellulose solution, and dry to obtain a finished semi-permeable membrane.

[0035] By adopting the above technical scheme, the elastic particles are used as a barrier of the chitosan film and the aromatic polyamide film, the porous film layer formed by cross-linking the graphene modified flexible fiber and the chitosan solution cooperates with the pores around the elastic particles to ensure the circulation of water, so that the semi-permeable membrane still has a high water permeability when blocking water organisms, bacteria, viruses and other substances in seawater; and even under a long-term use condition, the semi-permeable membrane still has a high separation efficiency and the surface is not easy to attach bacteria, viruses, water organisms and other substances, so that the semi-permeable membrane has a long service life.

[0036] In summary, the application has the following beneficial effects:

[0037] 1. The chitosan film in the adsorption layer has a high porosity, and cooperates with the filling and blocking effect of the elastic particles. Under the pressure action of seawater separation, the chitosan film formed by the chitosan solution and the graphene modified flexible fiber is easy to deform, depress and extrude the elastic particles.

Compared with Example 1, the difference between the water permeation flux after 60d, 180d and the initial flux of the semi-permeable membrane prepared in Example 5 is greater than the corresponding difference of Example 1, and the number of microorganisms on the surface of the adsorption layer and the base layer is greater than that of Example 1; It shows that the cellulose fiber plays a supporting role, ensuring water passing while blocking bacteria, thereby reducing the number of microorganisms in seawater adhering to the surface of the base layer, ensuring seawater desalination.

[0108] Example 6: The chitosan quaternary ammonium salt solution is not added in the carrier sepiolite. Compared with Example 1, the water permeation flux of the semi-permeable membrane prepared in Example 6 is less than that of Example 1, the difference between the water permeation flux after 60d, 180d and the initial flux is greater than the corresponding difference of Example 1, and the number of microorganisms on the surface of the adsorption layer and the base layer is greater than that of Example 1; It shows that chitosan quaternary ammonium salt not only has bactericidal effect, but also facilitates the bonding of carrier sepiolite with graphene modified flexible fiber and aromatic polyamide membrane, and the bacteria after sterilization no longer secrete sticky substances, so as to prevent microorganisms in seawater from adhering to the surface of the adsorption layer, thereby prolonging the service life of the semi-permeable membrane.

[0109] Example 7: The porous sepiolite is not treated with menthol solution, and Example 8: The cellulose fiber is not treated with sophoramine solution. Compared with Example 1, the difference between the water permeation flux after 60d, 180d and the initial flux of the semi-permeable membrane prepared in Examples 7 and 8 is greater than the corresponding difference of Example 1, and the number of microorganisms on the surface of the adsorption layer and the base layer is greater than that of Example 1; It shows that after sterilization by menthol and sophoramine, the inactivated bacteria are not easy to secrete sticky substances and adhere to the surface of the adsorption layer, and are convenient for removing part of the adhering microorganisms from the surface of the adsorption layer.

[0110] Example 9: The talc and titanium dioxide are not added in the chitosan solution. Compared with Example 1, the difference between the water permeation flux after 60d, 180d and the initial flux of the semi-permeable membrane prepared in Example 9 is greater than the corresponding difference of Example 1, and the number of microorganisms on the surface of the adsorption layer and the base layer is greater than that of Example 1; It shows that talc and carbon dioxide cooperate to make it difficult for microorganisms to adhere to the surface of the adsorption layer.

[0111] It can be seen from the combination of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-4 and Table 1 that, in the chitosan membrane of Comparative Example 1, no graphene modified flexible fiber and rebound particles are added, in the chitosan membrane of Comparative Example 2, the graphene modified flexible fiber is replaced by silica fiber of the same mass, and in the chitosan membrane of Comparative Example 3, no rebound particles are added. Compared with Example 1, the difference between the water permeation flux after 60 days and 180 days and the initial flux of the semi-permeable membrane prepared in Comparative Examples 1, 2 and 3 is greater than the corresponding difference of Example 1, and the number of microorganisms on the surface of the adsorption layer and the base layer is greater than that of Example 1. It is shown that the graphene modified flexible fiber and the rebound particles cooperate with each other, the rebound particles have good rebounding property, the rebounding chitosan membrane is convenient for rebounding the viruses, bacteria and other aquatic organisms attached to the surface of the chitosan membrane from the surface of the adsorption layer, so that the semi-permeable membrane still has high separation efficiency under the condition of long-term use, and the surface is not easy to attach bacteria, viruses, aquatic organisms and other substances, thereby prolonging the service life of the semi-permeable membrane.

[0112] The semi-permeable membrane of Comparative Example 4 is an aromatic polyamide membrane, i.e., the semi-permeable membrane has no adsorption layer. Compared with Example 1, the difference between the water permeation flux after 60 days and 180 days and the initial flux of the semi-permeable membrane prepared in Comparative Example 4 is greater than the corresponding difference of Example 1, and the number of microorganisms on the surface of the adsorption layer and the base layer is greater than that of Example 1. It is shown that the presence of the adsorption layer ensures the water flux, prevents the pores of the aromatic polyamide membrane from being blocked by microorganisms in seawater, and thus guarantees the desalination of seawater.
