Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of membrane materials, and specifically relates to a method for preparing a charge-reversible uniformly porous membrane and its separation application. Background Technology

[0002] Charge reversal in materials refers to the phenomenon where the charge carried by a material reverses under external stimuli, a scientific topic of great research value. Many polyelectrolytes exhibit charge reversal properties, and phenomena such as pH-induced, light-induced, and molecular-responsive charge reversal have been studied. However, unlike these reversal response mechanisms, the charge reversal mediated by glucose has been rarely studied. Compared to other stimuli, glucose, as a common biological carbohydrate molecule, exhibits non-biotoxicity in its charge reversal process, demonstrates excellent targeting properties, and shows promising application prospects in drug delivery, release, and protein separation.

[0003] Phenylboronic acid groups are widely used in the design of diol (sugar)-responsive polymers due to their diol (sugar) responsiveness, and their related properties have been applied in biosensing, drug delivery, nucleotide adsorbents, and self-healing systems. Glucose is a commonly used bio-auxiliary agent for stabilizing the stereostructure of macromolecules such as proteins, effectively preventing the denaturation and inactivation of bioactive molecules such as proteins. By utilizing the functional groups of phenylboronic acid to construct novel block copolymer systems and prepare homogeneous porous membranes with surface charge reversal, this technology achieves charge regulation and selectivity enhancement of the separation membrane while simultaneously preventing the inactivation of bioactive molecules. This is a unique advantage that cannot be achieved by adjusting the electrical properties of separation membranes through pH or ionic strength. This technology provides a new method for regulating the precise separation characteristics of homogeneous porous membranes, possessing both scientific value and promising practical application prospects. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a method for preparing a charge-reversible homogeneous porous membrane and its separation application. The method involves immersing a block copolymer homogeneous porous membrane in an ethanol solution containing a quaternizing reagent with boric acid functional groups and a catalyst. After heating for a period of time, the membrane is removed and the remaining quaternizing reagent on the membrane surface is washed with deionized water to obtain a homogeneous porous membrane with glucose-responsive reversible surface charge. Its performance is as follows: after immersing the membrane in a glucose solution of a certain concentration for a period of time, the zeta potential on the membrane surface undergoes a significant reversal; when the membrane is used for retention, the addition of glucose to the test solution produces opposite regulatory effects on the retention values ​​of different charged biomolecules. This invention provides a novel method for regulating the surface charge of homogeneous porous membranes through glucose biomolecules, offering a novel and effective means for precise separation and control of homogeneous porous membranes.

[0005] This invention employs the following technical solution: a method for preparing a charge-reversed uniformly porous membrane and controlling its separation selectivity, the method comprising the following steps:

[0008] (3) The quaternizing reagent adsorbed on the membrane surface is cleaned with deionized water to obtain a quaternized uniform porous membrane.

[0012] Furthermore, the concentration of the boric acid quaternizing agent is 0.02 g / L-0.3 g / L, preferably 0.02 g / L-0.15 g / L.

[0013] Further, the catalyst is one or more of potassium chloride, potassium acetate, potassium iodide, silver nitrate, and silver iodide. The catalyst concentration is 0.02 g / L to 0.05 g / L.

[0014] Furthermore, in step (2), the heating temperature is 15-80℃, preferably 20-60℃. The heating time is 12-48 hours, preferably 18-36 hours.

[0015] Furthermore, in step (3), deionized water with a pH range of 5.9 to 7.4 is used to wash away excess unreacted quaternization reagent. The washing method is immersion washing, and the washing time is 4-24 hours, preferably 6-12 hours.

[0016] An application of the charge-reversible uniformly porous membrane prepared by the method described above in the separation of bioactive molecules is as follows:

[0017] A certain concentration of glucose is added to the solution of bioactive macromolecules to be separated, and the feed liquid is filtered under pressure to separate the bioactive molecules through a quaternized homogeneous membrane.

[0019] Furthermore, the filtration methods include dead-end filtration and cross-flow filtration, with a transmembrane pressure difference of 0.05 MPa to 0.3 MPa.

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments, but the described embodiments do not constitute a limitation on the present invention.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] 1) Quaternization reaction of uniformly porous membrane: A uniformly porous membrane prepared from polystyrene-block-polytetravinylpyridine was selected and immersed in 50 mL of 0.05 g / L 4-bromophenylboronic acid ethanol solution, with 0.03 g / L potassium chloride dissolved as a catalyst. The membrane was thoroughly wetted, and then the solution was transferred to an oil bath at 50 °C and heated for approximately 24 hours. Finally, the membrane was immersed in deionized water at pH 6.5 for approximately 8 hours to wash away any residual quaternizing reagent on the membrane surface. After the membrane was completely dried, the surface morphology was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). See Appendix. Figure 1 The resulting sample had a pore size of 13 ± 0.5 nm, a porosity of 13%, and a pore density of 2.0 × 10⁻⁶. 14 / m 2 A uniformly porous membrane.

[0034] 2) Characterization of charge reversal performance of uniformly porous membranes: The surface Zeta potential of the modified uniformly porous membranes was tested using potassium chloride solutions with glucose concentrations ranging from 0.05 mol / L to 0.2 mol / L as the eluent. The results are attached. Figure 2 As shown, this indicates that after modification, at the same pH, the membrane surface potential shifts significantly towards a negative potential with increasing glucose concentration. Furthermore, at physiological pH (pH = 7.2–7.4), the membrane surface potential changes from positive to negative after the addition of glucose to the eluent, exhibiting a clear charge reversal phenomenon. (See attached image.) Figure 3 These are X-ray photoelectron spectra before and after the quaternization reaction of the uniformly porous membrane. The shift in chemical bond binding energy after the nitrogen element peak separation reflects the successful conduction of the quaternization reaction. (Attached) Figure 4 These are ATR-FTIR infrared spectra of the surface of the uniformly porous membrane before and after the quaternization reaction, with the 1357-1363 cm⁻¹ region after the quaternization reaction. -1 The presence of a distinct absorption peak at 3372 cm⁻¹ confirms the successful introduction of the phenylboronic acid group. Furthermore, the peak at 3372 cm⁻¹ further confirms this. -1 The significant enhancement of the hydroxyl absorption peak further corroborates this point.

[0035] 3) Solute Retention Performance Test: The homogeneous membrane before and after modification was used to separate and retain protein solutions with different charges. Positively charged lysozyme and negatively charged hemoglobin were used as the separation targets. The protein concentration was 0.5 g / L. Glucose was added to the protein solution to prepare a protein solution with a glucose concentration of 0.1 mol / L. The retention rates are shown in the attached figure. Figure 5 As shown in the figure. The results indicate that the modified uniformly porous membrane exhibits opposite selective regulatory effects on protein molecules with different charges after glucose is added to the protein stock solution. Specifically, the retention rate of positively charged proteins decreases while the retention rate of negatively charged proteins increases, meaning that it produces opposite regulatory effects on the retention behavior of solutes with different charges.

[0039] 3) The retention performance of the modified uniform-porous membrane was tested. It was found that after adding a certain concentration of glucose to the peptide stock solution, the uniform-porous membrane exhibited opposite selective control effects on peptides with different charges. Specifically, the retention rate of positively charged peptides decreased, while the retention rate of negatively charged peptides increased.

[0042] The solution was then transferred to a 75°C oil bath and heated for approximately 18 hours.
