Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water treatment, and in particular to a reverse osmosis membrane with antibacterial function, a preparation method thereof and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of society, people are paying more and more attention to the safety of drinking water. Given that reverse osmosis membranes can effectively remove harmful substances such as colloids, bacteria, viruses, pesticides, and endocrine disruptors from water bodies, the water quality produced far exceeds national drinking water standards. As a result, a variety of household reverse osmosis water purifiers have appeared on the market. Although existing regulations clearly require that the free residual chlorine content of factory tap water should not be less than 0.3 mg / L after 30 minutes of contact, and should not be less than 0.05 mg / L at the end of the pipe network, thereby effectively ensuring that bacteria will not grow in the tap water, it is found that during use, household reverse osmosis water purifiers are in the shutdown state most of the time. During this time, the free residual chlorine in the water body is quickly consumed, and the surface of the reverse osmosis membrane will also cause bacterial growth, resulting in a decrease in water production and deterioration in water quality, necessitating premature replacement. Therefore, it is of great significance to prepare household reverse osmosis membranes with antibacterial functions.

[0003] At present, there are some methods for preparing antibacterial reverse osmosis membranes in existing research, such as introducing antibacterial materials into the polyamide separation layer or on the surface of the reverse osmosis membrane to achieve the purpose of antibacterial. According to the antibacterial mechanism, its preparation methods are mainly divided into two types: one is to use a release-type antibacterial material. For example, CN107694357A discloses a method for preparing a modified pollution-resistant hybrid reverse osmosis membrane, in which inorganic nanoparticles are dispersed in an organic phase solution and a hybrid polyamide reverse osmosis membrane is formed through interfacial polymerization. In actual application, the antibacterial nanomaterials in the hybrid polyamide reverse osmosis membrane will continuously release into the tap water to kill bacteria. However, the release of the antibacterial nanomaterials is uncontrollable and is continuously released during the entire use process, resulting in a short service life. At the same time, the inorganic nanomaterials may also penetrate into the produced water, causing secondary pollution and endangering human health. Another method is to use adherent antibacterial materials. For example, CN108057348A discloses a hydrophilic bactericidal and anti-pollution reverse osmosis membrane and its preparation method. A high molecular polymer with bactericidal function is grafted onto the surface of the reverse osmosis membrane, and its quaternary ammonium groups are used to inactivate cells to achieve the purpose of inhibiting bacterial growth. However, the dead bacteria will adhere to the reverse osmosis membrane, which will still reduce the osmosis flux of the reverse osmosis membrane. In addition, the dead bacteria also provide nutrients and attachment points for the growth of new bacteria to a certain extent. Therefore, the actual antibacterial effect is not ideal.

[0004] Therefore, providing a reverse osmosis membrane with good antibacterial effect is a technical problem that needs to be solved in the current field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a reverse osmosis membrane with antibacterial function and its preparation method and use. Compared with the existing technology, the reverse osmosis membrane provided by the present invention has excellent antibacterial function and permeability, and is an excellent material for household reverse osmosis water purifiers.

[0006] In order to achieve the purpose of the invention, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a reverse osmosis membrane having an antibacterial function, the preparation method comprising the following steps:

[0008] (1) constructing a polyaromatic amide separation layer on the surface of the base film through interfacial polymerization reaction to obtain a primary ecological membrane;

[0009] (2) reacting the residual acyl chloride groups on the surface of the primary eco-membrane obtained in step (1) with a fatty primary amine to obtain a reverse osmosis membrane with a tertiary amine surface;

[0010] (3) reacting the reverse osmosis membrane with tertiary amine on the surface obtained in step (2) with a quaternary ammonium reagent to obtain a zwitterionized reverse osmosis membrane.

[0011] In the preparation method provided by the present invention, the acyl chloride groups remaining on the surface of the nascent membrane undergo an amidation reaction with a fatty primary amine to obtain a tertiary amine group, which is further reacted with a quaternizing agent, thereby successfully grafting a zwitterionic material containing a quaternary ammonium group onto the surface of the nascent membrane. On the one hand, since the zwitterionic material does not enter the polyaromatic amide separation layer, the interception performance of the reverse osmosis membrane is not sacrificed; on the other hand, since the zwitterionic material has high hydrophilicity, the permeation flux of the reverse osmosis membrane can be further improved. The reverse osmosis membrane provided by the present invention is used in a water purifier. When the water purifier is in a shutdown state, the zwitterionic material grafted on the membrane surface can form a relatively stable hydration layer, thereby preventing bacteria from adhering to the membrane surface. Even if a small amount of bacteria approaches the membrane surface, the quaternary ammonium group cation can be used to kill them, effectively achieving antibacterial effect in the shutdown state; when the water purifier is in a startup state, the tap water contains trace amounts of free chlorine, which can preferentially degrade fatty amides, so that the dead bacteria can leave along with the zwitterionic material, thereby restoring the permeation performance of the reverse osmosis membrane.

[0104] (2) It can be seen from the data of Examples 1 and 7-10 that the present invention can further enhance the effect of grafting zwitterionic materials onto the membrane surface by preferably controlling the mass concentration of the fatty primary amine aqueous solution and the reaction time of step (2), and by preferably controlling the mass concentration of the quaternizing agent and the reaction time of step (3), thereby further enhancing the separation performance and antibacterial performance.

[0105] (3) From the data of Example 1, Examples 4-6, and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that the reverse osmosis membrane provided by the present invention can increase the hydrophilicity of the reverse osmosis membrane by introducing the zwitterionic material on the membrane surface, thereby effectively improving the pure water permeation flux; at the same time, after the zwitterionic material is introduced in the present invention, the sodium chloride retention rate is basically within the range of 98.1-98.3%, without significant changes, indicating that the surface grafting does not sacrifice the sodium chloride retention rate;

[0106] At the same time, after the reverse osmosis membrane of the above embodiment was in contact with the bacteria-containing solution for 24 hours, the attenuation rate of the permeation flux was significantly lower than that of Comparative Example 1, indicating that the reverse osmosis membrane after the introduction of the zwitterionic material can inhibit the reproduction of bacteria in the solution on the membrane surface; and after being soaked in a sodium hypochlorite solution, the flux recovery rate was much higher than that of Comparative Example 1, indicating that even if some bacteria remained on the membrane surface, they could be recovered by the sodium hypochlorite in the aqueous solution.
