Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of MOF membrane technology, and particularly relates to a MOF membrane based on Cu-BTC / cellulose composite material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Membrane technology, as a highly efficient separation technology, has been increasingly widely developed in various fields such as wastewater treatment, water purification, and the food and pharmaceutical industries. Compared with traditional biochemical technologies, membrane separation technology has significant advantages such as selectivity, strong adaptability, high flexibility, and low pollution. In particular, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes have excellent chemical stability, excellent mechanical properties, and high chemical stability, and are widely used in gas separation. However, most membranes are limited by certain factors and cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of high selectivity and high permeability.

[0003] MOFs (Metal-Organic Facility-Containing Cells) are assembled from metal cations or clusters bridged by organic ligands, exhibiting high crystallinity and a network topology. The diverse combinations of metal nodes and organic groups provide MOFs with a wealth of structural and functional diversity. MOFs possess high specific surface area, high porosity, and abundant active sites, making them ideal materials for preparing separation membranes. However, MOFs are often present in powder form, characterized by poor stability and limited mechanical durability, especially when placed in strongly acidic environments. Therefore, shaping MOF nanocrystals into various useful structures remains a long-term challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the problems of uneven distribution and defects in Cu-BTC membranes due to particle aggregation. It proposes adding a Cu-BTC / cellulose composite material made of Cu-BTC and microcrystalline cellulose to the matrix membrane to improve the membrane's gas permeability and gas separation capabilities.

[0005] This invention provides a MOF membrane based on Cu-BTC / cellulose composite material, and the specific preparation steps are as follows:

[0006] (1)Cu 2+ Preparation of the metal precursor solution: Zinc oxide was ultrasonically dispersed in deionized water, then methanol and copper nitrate trihydrate were added sequentially, and the mixture was stirred until homogeneous to obtain Cu. 2+ Metal precursor solution.

[0007] Furthermore, the Cu 2+ The specific steps for preparing the metal precursor solution are as follows:

[0008] Under normal temperature conditions, zinc oxide was ultrasonically dispersed in deionized water to form a dispersion with a concentration of 5-8 mg / mL. Methanol and copper nitrate trihydrate were then added sequentially, and the mixture was stirred until homogeneous to obtain Cu.2+ Metal precursor solution; the Cu 2+ The concentration of copper nitrate trihydrate in the metal precursor solution is 10-45 mg / mL, and the volume ratio of deionized water to methanol is 1:(1-2).

[0009] (2) Preparation of Cu-BTC / cellulose composite material: Microcrystalline cellulose was ultrasonically dispersed in Cu 2+ After the metal precursor solution is evenly dispersed, the surfactant solution and the mixed solution are added dropwise. Then, the mixture is transferred to a heat-collecting constant temperature magnetic stirrer for stirring. After heating and stirring for a set time, the reaction product is centrifuged, washed, and then transferred to a vacuum drying oven for drying to obtain Cu-BTC / cellulose composite material.

[0010] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the microcrystalline cellulose to copper nitrate trihydrate is 1:2-18.

[0011] Furthermore, the surfactant solution concentration is 5-20 mg / mL, the solvent is ethanol, and the surfactant solute is one or more of sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, polyethylene glycol 200, and polyvinylpyrrolidone.

[0012] Furthermore, the solute of the mixed solution is composed of pyromellitic acid and 2-aminoterephthalic acid mixed in a mass ratio of 1:0-2, the solvent is ethanol, and the concentration of the mixed solution is 10-50 mg / mL.

[0013] Furthermore, the stirring and heating temperature described in this invention is 20-40℃, the heating time is 8-12h, the rotation speed is 2000-2500rpm, the washing solution is methanol, and the process is repeated 3-4 times.

[0014] (3) Preparation of MOF membrane: The homogeneous membrane material is ultrasonically dispersed in the membrane preparation masterbatch, transferred to a heat-collecting constant temperature magnetic stirrer, and then the pore-forming agent and Cu-BTC / cellulose composite material are added in sequence. The mixture is heated and stirred until a homogeneous solution is formed. After degassing with a vacuum pump, a homogeneous casting liquid is formed. The casting liquid is cast onto an automatic coating machine for coating. After forming, the membrane is wound and placed in distilled water for curing for 3 days, and then dried to obtain the MOF membrane.

[0015] Furthermore, the specific steps for preparing the MOF membrane described in this invention are as follows:

[0016] The homogeneous membrane material was ultrasonically dispersed in the membrane preparation masterbatch and transferred to a 50-60℃ constant temperature magnetic stirrer. The pore-forming agent and Cu-BTC / cellulose were added sequentially, and the mixture was heated and stirred until a homogeneous solution was formed. After degassing with a vacuum pump, a homogeneous casting solution was formed. The casting solution was cast onto an automatic coating machine for coating. After forming, the membrane was wound and placed in distilled water for curing for 3 days, and then dried to obtain the MOF membrane.

[0017] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the homogeneous membrane material to the membrane-forming masterbatch is 1:2-5.5.

[0018] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the pore-forming agent to the homogenized membrane material is 1:3.5-10.

[0019] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the Cu-BTC / cellulose composite material to the homogeneous membrane material is 1:75-750.

[0020] Furthermore, the film-forming masterbatch is any one or a mixture of tetrahydrofuran, dimethyl sulfoxide, N-methylpyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylformamide, or N,N-dimethylacetamide.

[0021] Furthermore, the pore-forming agent is one of polyvinylpyrrolidone, isopropanol, or polyethylene glycol.

[0022] Furthermore, the homogenized membrane material is one of polyvinylidene fluoride, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polyamide, polyethersulfone, polyacrylonitrile, polyetherimide, polyethylene terephthalate, cyclohexanediol, alumina, zirconium oxide, titanium dioxide, or silicon dioxide.

[0023] Furthermore, the specific steps for casting the film-forming liquid onto an automatic coating machine to form a film, as described in this invention, are as follows: A glass plate is slowly placed in the center of the coating machine, and a wire rod is placed vertically on the glass plate to ensure it is level. The casting liquid is poured evenly along the wire rod. Once the casting liquid is uniform, the coating machine is started by pressing the Start button. The casting liquid is extruded from the wire rod. After all the casting liquid is extruded and formed, it is wound and placed in a coagulation bath to solidify for 3 days, and then dried to obtain an MOF film. The coagulation solution in the coagulation bath is distilled water.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0025] This invention utilizes the steric hindrance effect of surfactants to control the particle size of Cu-BTC to the submicron level. Then, through condensation and cross-linking reactions, the carboxyl groups in Cu-BTC and the hydroxyl groups in microcrystalline cellulose undergo covalent bonding, causing Cu-BTC to coat the surface of the microcrystalline cellulose. This forms a Cu-BTC / cellulose composite material with a submicron-level rough surface. On the one hand, this reduces the decline in membrane separation performance caused by Cu-BTC agglomeration and improves the utilization rate of Cu-BTC. On the other hand, the rough surface and slender fibrous structure of the Cu-BTC / cellulose composite material enhance its compatibility with the membrane matrix while forming a richer pore and channel structure, increasing the accessibility of active sites and significantly improving the gas permeability and gas separation performance of the membrane. Furthermore, the addition of the Cu-BTC / cellulose composite material can also improve the membrane's hydrophilicity, increase the critical flux, and enhance its antifouling ability.

The N2 permeability is 18.6778 × 10⁻⁶. -3 ·mol·m -2 ·s -1 ·Pa -1 CO2 permeability is 166.4579 × 10 -3 ·mol·m -2 ·s -1 ·Pa -1 The CH4 permeability is 9.4113 × 10⁻⁶. -3 ·mol·m -2 ·s -1 ·Pa -1 The CO2 / N2 selectivity was 8.9120, and the CO2 / CH4 selectivity was 17.6870.

[0087] Figure 1 This is a SEM image of the Cu-BTC / cellulose composite material. Figure 2 This is a SEM image of a MOF membrane based on Cu-BTC / cellulose composite material. Figure 3 This is a comparison chart of the permeability and selectivity of different gases. Figure 1 Cellulose was successfully grafted onto the Cu-BTC surface; Figure 2 It can be observed that pores are uniformly distributed on the membrane surface. The Cu-BTC / cellulose composite material is doped into the polymer, and gas can permeate and separate through the membrane channels; as shown in Table 1 and Figure 3 It is known that the addition of Cu-BTC / cellulose composite material simultaneously improves the gas permeability and gas separation performance of the membrane. Examples show that as the amount of Cu-BTC / cellulose composite material in the MOF membrane increases, its gas permeability and gas selectivity increase. However, when the composite material content increases to a certain level, the permeability does not increase but decreases, possibly because the composite material blocks the pores, leading to a decrease in permeability. Figure 3 It is evident that the permeability and gas selectivity of the prepared examples are higher than those of the comparative examples. Specifically, the permeability and gas selectivity of the Cu-BTC / cellulose composite membrane are significantly higher than those of membranes prepared from Cu-BTC and cellulose separately. This invention improves both membrane permeability and gas selectivity. Examples 5 and 6 demonstrate that adding modified amino groups to Cu-BTC / cellulose can also greatly improve the CO2 permeability of the MOF membrane and enhance gas separation performance. The introduction of amino groups can provide active sites that promote CO2 reaction, and both gas permeability and gas separation performance increase with increasing amino content.
