Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of two-dimensional material film preparation, and particularly relates to a two-dimensional graphitic carbon nitride-based photo-Fenton-like film, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Two-dimensional material films have unique layered structures and mass transfer modes, and have good separation efficiency in the film treatment process. Compared with traditional organic membranes that screen pollutants through membrane pores, two-dimensional material films achieve rapid water molecule transport and effective pollutant separation through in-plane slits and interlayer channels generated during the stacking process of nanosheets. However, it is very difficult to regulate the stacking process of nanosheets in an orderly manner, which results in the formation of in-plane defects of different sizes in the layered membrane structure. Although these in-plane defects provide additional channels for water molecule transport, they also cause pollutants to penetrate into the membrane structure through the defects. During the long-term separation process, pollutants gradually accumulate in the layered membrane structure through in-plane defects, forming irreversible membrane fouling that is difficult to remove, resulting in a significant decline in the separation performance and service life of the membrane.

[0003] Conventional physical flushing methods can only remove loosely attached pollutants on the surface and cannot remove irreversible fouling. Researchers have tried to construct self-cleaning membranes to achieve rapid degradation of membrane fouling. At present, the research on self-cleaning membranes mainly focuses on the field of hybrid membranes, and the composite membranes are made to have photocatalytic ability by blending inorganic semiconductor materials with the casting solution. There is less research on two-dimensional layered self-cleaning membranes. The classic two-dimensional materials such as graphene oxide GO, transition metal sulfides TMDs, MXene, etc. do not have outstanding photocatalytic performance themselves and are mostly used as co-catalyst carriers to composite with other semiconductor materials to construct photocatalytic self-cleaning membranes.

[0004] For example, Chinese Patent CN115106105B prepared a ternary heterojunction photocatalytic membrane by hydrothermal method and vacuum-assisted assembly of two-dimensional MXene material with BiOBr and Bi 2 MoO 6 Composite. Chinese Patent CN116422160A prepared a GO / CPU / PAA / TiO 2 Self-cleaning composite membrane by blending method. These membranes have certain photocatalytic self-cleaning ability through the construction of heterostructures. However, in the preparation process, a variety of dangerous reagents such as HF and concentrated H 2 SO 2 SO 4, which makes the preparation process complex and difficult to control. In addition, the compatibility between two-dimensional materials and three-dimensional materials is relatively low, and the layered structure formed during the stacking process is not obvious, resulting in weakened binding force and reduced selectivity of the membrane. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a two-dimensional material membrane with simple preparation, environmental friendliness, high throughput, and good self-cleaning performance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems existing in the prior art, such as membrane fouling during the filtration process of two-dimensional material membranes, which leads to a decline in membrane performance, the destruction of the membrane layered structure caused by the blending of two-dimensional materials and three-dimensional materials, and the need to use a variety of hazardous reagents in the membrane preparation process. The present invention provides a preparation method and application of a graphite carbon nitride-based photo-Fenton-like membrane. This method obtains a stable membrane layered structure through environmentally friendly polymer network intercalation, with both high selectivity and high throughput, and at the same time has good self-cleaning performance for membrane fouling caused by various types of organic substances.

[0020] According to still another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a self-cleaning method for the two-dimensional graphitic carbon nitride-based photo-Fenton-like membrane.

[0083] In this example, the water flux of the prepared two-dimensional graphitic carbon nitride-based photo-Fenton-like membrane is 210.32 L·m -2 ·h -1 ·bar -1 , the rejection rate for Evans blue is 98.22%, the flux recovery rate for the membrane pollution caused by dyes after self-cleaning is 97.37%, the flux recovery rate for the membrane pollution caused by bovine serum albumin is 69.31%, the flux recovery rate for the membrane pollution caused by sodium alginate is 91.26%, and the flux recovery rate for the membrane pollution caused by humic acid is 87.32%.

[0084] The following gives a comparison between the comparative example and the example of the present invention to further illustrate the effect of the present invention.

[0085] Comparative Example 1:

[0086] Step 1: g-C 3 N 4Preparation of powder: Urea was placed in a muffle furnace and heat-treated at 500 - 600 °C for 3 - 4 h in an argon atmosphere. After cooling, it was ground to obtain g-C 3 N 4 powder;

[0087] Step 2, preparation of g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets: The powder obtained in Step 1 was placed in a muffle furnace and further calcined at 500 - 600 °C for 1 - 3 h in an air atmosphere to obtain a light yellow powder, which was g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets.

[0088] Step 3, preparation of g-C 3 N 4 film: The g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets obtained in Step 2 were assembled on a polyacrylonitrile porous substrate under a pressure difference of 1 bar. After drying, g-C 3 N 4 film was obtained.

[0089] Step 4, preparation of g-C 3 N 4 composite film: 2 - 10 mL of a 0.1 - 1 wt% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution was poured into the terminal membrane filtration module and evaporated in an oven at 40 - 80 °C for 0.5 - 1 h. Subsequently, the membrane was taken out and immersed in an aqueous glutaraldehyde (GA) solution for 0.5 - 2 h to form a stable coating at 40 - 80 °C.

[0090] The g-C 3 N 4 film obtained in this comparative example had a rejection rate of 81.2% for the dye solution and a water flux of 11.7 L·m -2 ·h -1 ·bar -1 , and the flux recovery rate for the membrane fouling caused by the dye was only 72.94%. After 3 cycles, the membrane structure was damaged to a certain extent.

[0091] It can be seen from the comparison of the above examples and comparative examples that the water flux of the two-dimensional graphitic carbon nitride-based photo-Fenton-like membrane prepared by the method of the present invention is not less than 180.75 L·m -2 ·h -1 ·bar -1, the rejection rate of Evans blue is not less than 88.61%. After self-cleaning, the flux recovery rate of membrane fouling caused by dyes is not less than 97.37%, the flux recovery rate of membrane fouling caused by bovine serum albumin is not less than 69.31%, the flux recovery rate of membrane fouling caused by sodium alginate is not less than 91.26%, and the flux recovery rate of membrane fouling caused by humic acid is not less than 97.32%. It can be seen that the two-dimensional graphitic carbon nitride-based photo-Fenton-like membrane prepared by the present invention not only has good dye rejection rate and high water permeation flux, but also can effectively self-clean the membrane fouling caused by various pollutants to varying degrees, realizing a large-scale recovery of membrane flux, and is a two-dimensional separation membrane with good performance.

Based on the technical solutions disclosed in the present invention, those skilled in the art can make some substitutions and deformations of some technical features without creative labor according to the disclosed technical content, and these substitutions and deformations are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
