Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of seawater desalination separation membranes, relates to an anti-oxidation polyamide reverse osmosis composite membrane and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to a method for improving the anti-oxidation performance of a polyamide reverse osmosis separation membrane. Background Art
[0002] The current mainstream reverse osmosis uses polyamide (PA) materials as the key separation layer, but the amide bonds in the polyamide separation layer are prone to oxidative hydrolysis reactions with oxidative chlorine components in the water body. The continued chlorination reaction will greatly destroy the strong hydrogen bonding of the amide bonds, causing the molecular chain to hydrolyze and break and the separation performance to decay. Every year, a large number of membrane elements face replacement, elimination and abandonment due to oxidative degradation failure, which not only increases the environmental bearing pressure, but also causes huge economic losses. In view of the huge market demand for reverse osmosis membranes, the development of new antioxidant polyamide membrane materials is of great significance for expanding the application field of reverse osmosis technology and reducing the current operating costs of water treatment processes.
[0003] One of the effective methods for preparing antioxidant reverse osmosis membranes is to introduce antioxidant structures into the molecular chain skeleton or membrane surface area of polyamide materials so that they react preferentially with oxidizing components in water, thereby alleviating the oxidative degradation problem of polyamide membranes. Currently, most reports use antioxidant structures containing phenolic hydroxyl groups, such as hindered phenols, tannic acid and other molecular compounds with a large number of phenolic hydroxyl groups. Although phenolic hydroxyl groups can effectively capture oxidizing components, their oxidation product quinone derivatives have a color reaction, causing the color of the membrane material to gradually darken during use, affecting the appearance of the membrane product. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new antioxidant structures and preparation methods for polyamide reverse osmosis membranes. Summary of the invention
[0004] In order to overcome the problem of insufficient oxidation resistance of polyamide membranes, the present invention provides a method for preparing an antioxidant polyamide membrane.
[0005] The technical solution adopted to achieve the purpose of the present invention is:

[0007] S1: A flat ultrafiltration membrane is used as a base membrane, the base membrane is immersed in a cleaning solution for a period of time to clean the organic solvent remaining in the base membrane, and then immersed in pure water for cleaning and left to stand for several hours for use;
[0008] S2: taking out the basement membrane from the pure water and removing the excess solution, then immersing the basement membrane in a mixed aqueous solution containing a mass concentration of 1-4% polyamine and 0.1-1% N-monosubstituted hydroxylamine, keeping for 1-5 minutes, then taking it out and hanging it vertically in the air for 1-10 minutes and removing the excess solution;
[0009] S3: immersing the base membrane again in an organic phase solution containing a polyacyl chloride monomer having a mass concentration of 0.1-1% for 1-10 minutes, then taking out the base membrane from the organic phase reaction solution, and washing the surface of the ultrafiltration membrane with a corresponding pure organic phase solvent to remove residual unreacted acyl chloride monomers, thereby obtaining a polyamide reverse osmosis composite membrane;
[0010] S4: Immerse the prepared polyamide reverse osmosis composite membrane in an alcohol solution containing 0.5-2% by mass concentration of N-disubstituted hydroxylamine compounds for 1-4 minutes, and finally put the membrane into a forced air drying oven for drying, and obtain an antioxidant polyamide reverse osmosis composite membrane after washing with water.
[0011] Furthermore, the material of the ultrafiltration membrane in step S1 is one of polysulfone, polyethersulfone, polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinylidene fluoride; the ultrafiltration membrane has a molecular weight cutoff of 40000-80000 Da, preferably 50000-60000 Da.
[0012] Furthermore, in step S1, the cleaning solution is a 30% by mass isopropanol aqueous solution, and the soaking treatment time is 6-8 hours.
[0013] Furthermore, in step S2, the polyamine is one of m-phenylenediamine, p-phenylenediamine, o-phenylenediamine, and o-xylylenediamine, and the N-monosubstituted hydroxylamine is one of N-methylhydroxylamine, N-tert-butylhydroxylamine, N-isopropylhydroxylamine, N-benzylhydroxylamine, N-benzyloxycarbonylhydroxylamine, and N-cyclohexylhydroxylamine.
[0014] Furthermore, in step S3, the polyacyl chloride monomer is one of succinyl chloride, diphenyl diacetyl chloride, 4,4'-oxybis(benzoyl chloride), trimesoyl chloride or a mixture thereof, and the organic phase is one of pentane, hexane, cyclohexane, heptane or a mixture thereof.
[0015] Furthermore, in step S4, the N-disubstituted hydroxylamine compound is one of bis(octadecyl)hydroxylamine, N,N-diethylhydroxylamine, N,N-dimethylhydroxylamine salt, N,N-dibenzylhydroxylamine, and indolinehydroxylamine, and the alcohol is one of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and n-hexanol.
[0016] Furthermore, in step S2, the mass concentration of the polyamine in step 2) is 2-3%, and the mass concentration of the N-monosubstituted hydroxylamine is 0.3-0.8%; the immersion time of the base film in the aqueous solution is 2-4 minutes; and the drying time of the base film in the air is 3-6 minutes.
[0017] Furthermore, in step S3, the concentration of the polyacyl chloride monomer is 0.2%-0.5%; and the immersion time of the base film in the organic phase reaction solution is 2-5 minutes.
[0018] Furthermore, in step S4, the mass concentration of the N-disubstituted hydroxylamine compound is 1-1.5%; the composite film is immersed in the alcohol solution of hydroxylamine for 2-3 minutes; the oven temperature is 60-120°C, preferably 80-100°C, and the heat treatment time is 10-30 minutes, preferably 15-20 minutes.
[0019] The present invention also provides an anti-oxidation polyamide reverse osmosis composite membrane, which is prepared by the preparation method as described above.
[0020] In this application, in view of the defect of the existing polyamide membrane material being easily oxidized and degraded, regulation is carried out from two aspects: the intrinsic structure of the membrane material and the surface properties of the membrane. First, an N-monosubstituted hydroxylamine compound is added to the reverse osmosis membrane polymerization reaction system, thereby introducing a hydroxylamine structure (—N-OH) into the membrane molecular chain structure, and utilizing the characteristic of the hydroxylamine group to quickly capture oxidative free radicals, inhibiting the oxidative destruction of the polyamide membrane material by active chlorine components in the water, thereby improving the antioxidant capacity of the membrane. The surface of the polyamide membrane is further treated with an alcohol solution of an N-disubstituted hydroxylamine compound, so that the hydroxylamine structure is further enriched on the membrane surface, thereby enhancing the antioxidant capacity of the membrane. Compared with the existing methods for preparing antioxidant polyamide membranes (such as CN202211730161.7, CN202210924166.7, CN202111365685.6, CN201710615106.6, etc.), which generally use phenolic hydroxyl groups as antioxidant groups, the hydroxylamine groups used in this application will avoid the obvious color change caused by phenolic hydroxyl groups during the oxidation process. This characteristic makes hydroxylamine compounds widely used in the field of commercial antioxidants. Therefore, the polyamide reverse osmosis membrane prepared by this method has both good antioxidant properties and stable appearance properties.
[0021] As an illustration, the aqueous reaction solution in the present application uses a monosubstituted hydroxylamine molecule because it contains a secondary amine -NH-, which can react with the acyl chloride monomer to ensure that the hydroxylamine is fixed in the polyamide membrane molecular chain; the post-treatment liquid uses a disubstituted hydroxylamine molecule because the disubstituted molecule has low water solubility and can inhibit the loss of hydroxylamine molecules during membrane operation.
[0022] The present invention proposes a method for preparing a high-performance reverse osmosis membrane with both bulk anti-oxidation and membrane surface anti-oxidation by using a reaction monomer rich in hydroxylamine structure, wherein the anti-oxidation hydroxylamine structure-containing reagent includes a bulk reaction reagent A and a surface protection reagent B, wherein reagent A is an N-monosubstituted hydroxylamine and reagent B is an N-disubstituted hydroxylamine compound. The present invention discloses a method for preparing an anti-oxidation polyamide reverse osmosis membrane by using the above-mentioned hydroxylamine structure-rich monomer reagent, comprising the following steps: (1) conventionally soaking and cleaning a flat ultrafiltration membrane; (2) on the ultrafiltration membrane, preparing an aqueous phase solution by mixing a common polyamine and reagent A, and performing an interfacial polymerization reaction with an organic solution of a polyacyl chloride monomer to form a reverse osmosis membrane; (3) immersing the reverse osmosis membrane in an aqueous solution of reagent B and performing a heat treatment, and finally completing the preparation of an anti-oxidation reverse osmosis membrane. The method of the present invention has a simple process. Only hydroxylamine structure reaction monomers are used in the preparation and modification process to ensure that the hydroxylamine structure exists in the body and on the surface. The body hydroxylamine molecules form stable chemical bonds with the acyl chloride, and the hydroxylamine molecules on the membrane surface have low water solubility, so the membrane can be operated in cross-flow for a long time without failure, thereby achieving a double improvement in the membrane's antioxidant properties.

Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
