Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of membrane material preparation and membrane separation technology, specifically to a zwitterionic covalent organic framework membrane, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Pervaporation membranes, as an emerging membrane separation technology, offer advantages such as high efficiency, energy saving, environmental friendliness, and flexible operation. They are commonly used for separating liquid mixtures, particularly suitable for near-boiling or azeotropic systems that are difficult to separate using traditional distillation. They also demonstrate significant advantages in removing trace impurities from liquid mixtures. Membrane materials are the core of membrane separation technology; ideal membrane materials should possess high permeability, high selectivity, and high stability. Currently, commercially available membrane materials are traditional polymers, but these suffer from problems such as small free volume within the membrane, discontinuous channels, and easy swelling. Furthermore, they are limited by the trade-off effect, where permeability and selectivity cannot be simultaneously improved, making it difficult to achieve highly efficient separation performance. Therefore, the development and design of novel porous membrane materials are of great significance.

[0003] Covalent organic frameworks (COFrames) possess characteristics such as regular pores, high porosity, controllable structure, and ease of functionalization. They exhibit significantly higher permeability than traditional polymer membranes, and their strong covalent bonding allows them to maintain structural stability in harsh liquid environments, demonstrating great potential in liquid separation and the possibility of overcoming the trade-off effect. Compared to discontinuous COFrame membranes prepared by blending, continuous COFrame membranes prepared by interfacial polymerization can leverage the advantages of their pore structure in separation. However, the intrinsic building block structure of COFrames results in insufficient hydrophilicity, and their relatively large pore size makes effective separation of small liquid molecule mixtures difficult, especially for mixtures with coupling effects and similar molecular sizes. Therefore, the research and development of continuous COFrame membranes suitable for separating small liquid molecule mixtures has become a focus in the field of separation. Summary of the Invention

[0036] Unless otherwise specified, all raw materials used in this invention are commercially available in the art.

[0037] The method for testing the separation performance of the membrane in this invention is as follows:

[0038] The prepared membrane material was used in a pervaporation ethanol-water solution system at a temperature of 76℃ and a water content of 10wt% in the feed solution. The permeation flux and separation factor of the composite membrane were then measured.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] This embodiment provides a method for preparing zwitterionic covalent organic framework membranes, specifically as follows:

[0041] 1) Preparation of zwitterionic materials: 0.06 mol of N-aminoethylpiperazine and 0.05 mol of 1,3-propanesulfonate lactone were dissolved in 60 mL and 20 mL of acetonitrile, respectively. Then, the 1,3-propanesulfonate lactone solution was added to the N-aminoethylpiperazine solution and reacted at 30 °C for 7 h. After the reaction was completed, the crude product was collected and then extracted with acetonitrile using a Soxhlet method. The purified product was obtained by vacuum drying, which is the zwitterionic material.

[0042] 2) The porous supporting base membrane polyacrylonitrile ultrafiltration membrane was placed in a sodium hydroxide solution with a concentration of 1.5M and a temperature of 55℃ for 1 hour for heat treatment, and then repeatedly washed with deionized water until the pH was neutral to obtain the hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile ultrafiltration membrane.

[0043] 3) The hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile ultrafiltration membrane was immersed in an aqueous solution containing 0.05 wt% acetic acid and 0.2 wt% p-phenylenediamine for 1 min, and then rolled dry with a rubber roller until there were no water stains on the surface; then it was immersed in a heptane solution of 0.005 wt% trialdehyde resorcinol for 150 s to carry out the polymerization reaction. After the reaction, it was naturally dried and heat-treated at 80℃ for 3 min to obtain a covalent organic framework membrane.

[0044] 4) The covalent organic framework membrane was first immersed in a 0.1 wt% solution of trimesoyl chloride in n-heptane for 3 min, and then immersed in a 0.2 wt% zwitterionic aqueous solution for 3 min. After being dried by a rubber roller, the membrane was heat-treated at 60℃ for 10 min to obtain a zwitterionic covalent organic framework membrane, which is denoted as membrane 1. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The images shown are scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the surface and cross-section of membrane 1, respectively.

[0045] Comparative Example 1

[0046] This comparative example provides a method for preparing a covalent organic framework membrane, which differs from Example 1 in that steps 1) and 4) are omitted, and the concentrations of the amine monomer aqueous solution and the aldehyde monomer organic solution containing the catalyst are adjusted. The specific steps are as follows:

[0047] The porous supporting substrate polyacrylonitrile ultrafiltration membrane was heat-treated in a sodium hydroxide solution with a concentration of 1.5M and a temperature of 55℃ for 1 hour, and then repeatedly washed with deionized water until the pH was neutral to obtain the hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile ultrafiltration membrane.

[0048] The hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile ultrafiltration membrane was immersed in an aqueous solution containing 0.5 wt% acetic acid and 0.5 wt% p-phenylenediamine for 1 min, and then rolled dry with a rubber roller until there were no water stains on the surface. It was then immersed in a heptane solution of 0.05 wt% trialdehyde resorcinol for 150 s to carry out the polymerization reaction. After natural drying, the membrane was heat-treated at 80℃ for 3 min to obtain a covalent organic framework membrane, which was designated as control membrane 1. Figure 3 For comparison, see the surface scanning electron microscope image of film 1.

[0049] Comparative Example 2

[0050] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that steps 1) and 4) are omitted. The remaining steps are the same as in Example 1, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0051] The porous supporting substrate polyacrylonitrile ultrafiltration membrane was heat-treated in a sodium hydroxide solution with a concentration of 1.5M and a temperature of 55℃ for 1 hour, and then repeatedly washed with deionized water until the pH was neutral to obtain the hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile ultrafiltration membrane.

[0052] The hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile ultrafiltration membrane was immersed in an aqueous solution containing 0.05 wt% acetic acid and 0.2 wt% p-phenylenediamine for 1 min, and then rolled dry with a rubber roller until there were no water stains on the surface. It was then immersed in a heptane solution of 0.005 wt% trialdehyde phloroglucinol for 150 s to carry out the polymerization reaction. After the reaction, it was naturally dried and heat-treated at 80℃ for 3 min to obtain a covalent organic framework membrane, which was designated as control membrane 2. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The images shown are scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the surface and cross-section of contrast membrane 2, respectively.

[0053] The separation performance of the membranes prepared in Example 1, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2 was tested, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0056] From Table 1 and Figures 1-5As can be seen, compared with covalent organic framework membranes, zwitterionic covalent organic framework membranes exhibit superior separation performance, with improvements in both permeation flux and separation factor to varying degrees. This is because the present invention can control the transformation of the covalent organic framework from a fibrous thin layer to a two-dimensional film by adjusting the interfacial polymerization reaction parameters, thereby successfully preparing a continuous and defect-free covalent organic framework membrane. Furthermore, zwitterionic modification of the covalent organic framework membrane surface can regulate the pore structure of the membrane surface, forming water-selective transport channels while repelling competing alcohol molecules.

[0057] Figure 6 The diagram shows the long-term operational stability of the zwitterionic covalent organic framework membrane prepared in Example 1. It can be seen that the zwitterionic covalent organic framework membrane prepared in this invention exhibits good separation stability during long-term operation.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the concentration of zwitterionic material in the zwitterionic aqueous solution in step 4) is adjusted to 0.05 wt%, while the remaining steps are the same as in Embodiment 1, to obtain the zwitterionic covalent organic framework membrane of this embodiment.

[0060] Example 3

[0061] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the concentration of zwitterionic material in the zwitterionic aqueous solution in step 4) is adjusted to 0.1 wt%, while the remaining steps are the same as in Embodiment 1, to obtain the zwitterionic covalent organic framework membrane of this embodiment.

[0062] Example 4

[0063] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the concentration of zwitterionic material in the zwitterionic aqueous solution in step 4) is adjusted to 0.15wt%, while the remaining steps are the same as in Embodiment 1, to obtain the zwitterionic covalent organic framework membrane of this embodiment.

[0064] Example 5

[0065] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the concentration of zwitterionic material in the zwitterionic aqueous solution in step 4) is adjusted to 0.3 wt%, while the remaining steps are the same as in Embodiment 1, to obtain the zwitterionic covalent organic framework membrane of this embodiment.

[0066] The separation performance of the zwitterionic covalent organic framework membranes prepared in Examples 2-5 was tested and compared with that in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0067] Table 2

[0068] membrane <![CDATA[Permeation flux (gm -2 h -1 )]]> Separation factor Example 1 3309 2839 Example 2 3330 1007 Example 3 3239 1320 Example 4 3508 1282 Example 5 3387 2624

[0069] As shown in Table 2, with the increase of zwitterion concentration, the separation factor first increases and then remains basically unchanged, while the membrane permeation flux changes little. On the one hand, zwitterions can increase the hydrophilicity of the covalent organic framework membrane surface, which is beneficial to the dissolution process of water molecules on the membrane surface; on the other hand, zwitterions have a modifying effect on the pore structure of the covalent organic framework membrane surface, reducing the pore size and increasing the resistance to molecular transport, which is detrimental to permeability, but enhances the selective diffusion process of water molecules. The above factors jointly affect the membrane separation performance. When the zwitterion modification on the membrane surface reaches a threshold, the membrane separation performance remains basically unchanged.

[0070] Comparative Example 3

[0071] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the concentration of acetic acid in step 3) is adjusted to 0.5 wt%, while the remaining steps are the same as in Example 1, to obtain the zwitterionic covalent organic framework membrane of this comparative example.

[0072] Comparative Example 4

[0073] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the concentration of acetic acid in step 3) is adjusted to 0.5 wt%, the concentration of trialdehyde phloroglucinol is adjusted to 0.05 wt%, and the remaining steps are the same as in Example 1, to obtain the zwitterionic covalent organic framework membrane of this comparative example.

[0074] Comparative Example 5

[0075] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the concentration of acetic acid in step 3) is adjusted to 0.5 wt%, the concentration of phenylenediamine is 0.5 wt%, and the concentration of trialdehyde phloroglucinol is 0.05 wt%. The remaining steps are the same as in Example 1, and the zwitterionic covalent organic framework membrane of this comparative example is obtained.

[0076] Comparative Example 6

[0077] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the concentration of acetic acid in step 3) is adjusted to 0.5wt%, the concentration of phenylenediamine is 0.5wt%, the concentration of trialdehyde resorcinol is 0.05wt%, and the soaking time in the n-heptane solution of trialdehyde resorcinol is 90s. The remaining steps are the same as in Example 1, and the zwitterionic covalent organic framework membrane of this comparative example is obtained.

[0078] The separation performance of the zwitterionic covalent organic framework membranes prepared in Comparative Examples 3-6 was tested and compared with that in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0079] Table 3

[0080] membrane <![CDATA[Permeation flux (gm -2 h -1 )]]> Separation factor Example 1 3309 2839 Comparative Example 3 3051 695 Comparative Example 4 2298 872 Comparative Example 5 1576 1083 Comparative Example 6 3510 481

[0081] As shown in Table 3, the concentration of reactants, catalyst concentration, and reaction time affect the formation process of covalent organic framework (COF) membranes, and consequently, the separation performance of zwitterionic COF membranes. Improper control of reactant and catalyst concentrations leads to the formation of fibrous COF layers on the porous support substrate surface instead of continuous two-dimensional layers. Reaction time affects the COF interfacial polymerization process; shorter reaction times result in incomplete formation of the two-dimensional COF layer, leading to numerous defects and poor separation performance. Zwitterionic ionization of discontinuous COF membrane surfaces cannot achieve high separation performance. Therefore, proper control of reaction parameters is beneficial for forming continuous COF membrane structures on the porous support substrate surface, thereby obtaining zwitterionic COF membranes with high separation performance.

[0082] In summary, the zwitterionic covalent organic framework membrane provided by this invention possesses continuous, interconnected pore channels, which can serve as rapid molecular transport channels, facilitating the achievement of high permeation flux. Zwitterionicizing its surface enhances the membrane's hydrophilicity and modulates the pore structure, creating water-selective transport channels while repelling competing alcohol molecules. The prepared composite membrane overcomes the technical bottleneck of covalent organic framework materials in the separation of small liquid molecules. The preparation method of this invention is simple and controllable. When the composite membrane prepared by this invention is used in the pervaporation ethanol dehydration process, it exhibits excellent separation performance and long-term operational stability, demonstrating broad application potential in the field of organic solvent dehydration.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
