Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of membrane separation technology and relates to a polyimide composite membrane and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] As chemical separation technologies continue to develop towards higher efficiency, lower cost, and energy conservation, membrane separation technology, compared to traditional chemical separation technologies, has been widely researched and applied due to its advantages such as lower energy consumption and smaller footprint. Polyamide membranes typically consist of a non-woven fabric support layer, a porous polymer interlayer, and a polyamide separation layer, and are an economical and efficient separation method in the fields of water desalination, ultrapure water production, and wastewater treatment.

[0003] Despite the significant advantages of polyamide membranes, their low hydrophilicity and negative charge make membrane fouling a major challenge in applications. This not only reduces filtrate quality and separation efficiency, but the high sensitivity of the polyamide membrane layer to chlorine also shortens its lifespan. Therefore, inventing a reverse osmosis membrane that can simultaneously enhance antifouling capabilities is of great importance for mitigating membrane fouling and slowing down membrane degradation.

[0004] Cyclodextrin (CD), a cyclic oligosaccharide with a hydrophilic outer shell and a hydrophobic inner cavity, forms a stable host-guest inclusion complex with its unique structure, effectively adsorbing and removing organic pollutants. The external hydrophilic groups of cyclodextrin can enhance membrane hydrophilicity, reduce pollutant adsorption and deposition, and optimize overall permeability performance by regulating membrane structure. 3-[N,N-dimethyl-[2-(2-methylprop-2-enoyloxy)ethyl]ammonium]propane-1-sulfonic acid inner salt (SBMA) is a commonly used ionic polymer, its monomer containing equal amounts of quaternary ammonium salt cations and sulfonate anions. Polymethacryloylethyl sulfobetaine (pSBMA) forms two hydrated layers on its surface, exhibiting stronger hydrophilicity than polymers such as polyethylene glycol. The spacing between its charged groups provides balanced charge and strong hydration capacity, making it widely used in membrane separation, antifouling coatings, and other fields.

[0123] The performance of the polyamide reverse osmosis membranes prepared in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 was tested, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0124] Test method: The feed solution is a 2000ppm sodium chloride aqueous solution with a pH of 7.0±0.5, an operating pressure of 225psi (1.55MPa), and an operating temperature of 25±1℃. For antifouling performance testing, protein was used as the turbidity agent in the antifouling test, and water flux was measured according to GB / T 32373-2015 Reverse Osmosis Membrane Test Method.

[0126] Experimental group name Flux (LMH) NaCl retention rate (%) Comparative Example 1 44.56 99.07 Comparative Example 2 49.51 98.43 Example 1 53.42 98.95 Example 2 55.97 99.30 Example 3 61.22 99.35 Example 4 62.38 99.21 Example 5 60.72 99.18 Example 6 58.93 99.04

[0127] The hydrophilicity of the polyamide reverse osmosis membranes prepared in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 was tested using a contact angle tester, and the results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown. By Figure 1 It can be seen that in Examples 1-6, as the loading of pSBMA-CD increases, the water contact angle on the surface of the amide reverse osmosis membrane becomes smaller, and the hydrophilicity is better, indicating that its surface hydration layer is denser and its antifouling performance is better. In Example 3, the loading of pSBMA-CD is the same as that of γ-CD in Comparative Example 2. The hydrophilicity of the polyamide reverse osmosis membrane surface in Example 3 is better than that in Comparative Example 2. Comparative Example 1 has no pSBMA-CD or γ-CD loaded, and its surface hydrophilicity is the worst.

[0128] The flux decay rate and flux recovery rate of the polyamide reverse osmosis membranes prepared in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were tested. The test method was as follows: the reverse osmosis membrane was pre-pressurized with pure water for 30 minutes. The initial flux J0 was recorded at this time. A model contaminant (BSA) at a concentration of 500 ppm was added to the pure water solution. The immediate flux J after membrane fouling was recorded. t Once the contamination reached a stable state, the experimental cleaning and recovery tests were stopped: the membrane surface was rinsed with pure water (without pressure), and the flux J after rinsing was recorded. c .

[0129] Flux Decay Rate: FDR(%) = (J0 - J t ) / J 0* 100%

[0130] Flux recovery rate: FRR (%) = J c / J 0* 100%

[0131] The result is as follows Figure 2 As shown, from Figure 2 As can be seen from the comparative examples, with the increase of pSBMA-CD loading, the flux decay rate decreases and the recovery rate increases in the examples. The flux recovery rate of Example 3 reaches 96%, indicating that its antifouling performance is significantly improved. Within the polyamide membrane, the incorporation of pSBMA-CD effectively inhibits the adsorption of pollutants on the membrane surface and prevents pollutant deposition on the membrane surface.
