Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a reverse osmosis membrane. Background Art

[0002] Since seawater and brackish water desalination technology is not affected by climate and can provide stable water supply around the clock, it has become an important way for countries around the world to cope with fresh water shortages. Reverse osmosis membrane desalination technology has been studied since the 1970s. After decades of development, it has become one of the main means of seawater desalination and brackish water desalination, accounting for about 65% of the global seawater desalination market share. Reverse osmosis desalination technology mainly uses external pressure higher than the osmotic pressure of seawater to allow water molecules to pass through the reverse osmosis membrane to obtain fresh water, and has high energy consumption. Therefore, how to improve the efficiency of reverse osmosis desalination and reduce the cost of fresh water production is the focus of the development of reverse osmosis desalination technology.

[0003] Reverse osmosis membranes achieve effective separation of ions and water molecules in water by constructing a non-porous polyamide separation layer. Brine separation performance is an important indicator for measuring the filtration performance of reverse osmosis membranes, which is often controlled by the composition and structure of the polyamide functional layer. In order to construct the optimal polyamide structure, researchers have made great efforts and summarized many rules. The rough surface of the polyamide membrane can increase the effective area of ​​water transfer during the filtration process, thereby improving the water permeability of the reverse osmosis membrane. Hydrophilic materials such as metal organic frameworks are introduced into the polyamide layer to promote the transmission of water molecules and enhance the separation performance of the membrane and brine. In addition, constructing an intermediate layer between the polyamide functional layer and the base membrane can also effectively improve the water permeability of the reverse osmosis membrane. At the same time, the pollution problem faced by the reverse osmosis membrane during use also seriously restricts its application in the field of seawater desalination.

[0004] Existing methods for preparing reverse osmosis membranes often only focus on improving the brine separation performance of reverse osmosis membranes, or on the anti-fouling modification of the polyamide structure of reverse osmosis membranes. Therefore, in order to achieve the improvement of the brine separation performance and anti-fouling performance of reverse osmosis membranes, two or even multiple steps of reaction are usually required to construct the target performance of the membrane one by one. At the same time, the lack of binding force between different structural and functional layers puts the stability of reverse osmosis membranes to the test. Summary of the invention

At the same time, the hydrogel improves the hydrophilicity of the membrane, which is beneficial to the transmission of water molecules in the membrane and the improvement of the membrane's anti-pollution performance.
