Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of novel nanofiltration membrane preparation, and in particular to an intercalated carbon nitride modified polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The pollution of water sources, the lag in the improvement of tap water technology and equipment, the rust of water supply pipes, the sedimentation in water, the insecurity of secondary water supply and other issues have made the terminal purification of water receive more and more attention, and water purifiers have been applied. Membrane filter elements are widely used in water purifiers because of their high filtration accuracy and good water quality.

[0003] Currently, there are three types of water purifiers on the market: ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis. Reverse osmosis can only allow water to pass through, while all other solutes are retained. Therefore, the purified water produced does not contain minerals and is weakly acidic. Long-term drinking is not good for human health. Ultrafiltration membranes can retain all pathogens, large molecular proteins, pyrogens and other impurities. When nanofiltration membranes are used to process mixed salt solutions, they mainly use their selective permeability characteristics to separate multiple components. The pore size of nanofiltration membranes is between reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration, usually between 0.002 microns and 0.005 microns. They can retain large molecules and multivalent ions with a relative molecular mass of 200-2000 Daltons, while allowing monovalent ions and smaller water molecules to pass through.

[0004] Since its invention, nanofiltration water treatment technology has been widely used in the field of water treatment for its advantages of low energy consumption, good separation performance, high efficiency, no chemical addition, and simple operation. In the process of multi-component separation, the selectivity of nanofiltration membranes mainly depends on the chemical properties of the membrane material, pore size distribution, charge, and hydrophilicity of the membrane surface. Different salts have different rates of permeation through the membrane due to differences in their ion size, charge, and hydration shell. For example, divalent ions are usually more easily retained than monovalent ions because they are larger in size and usually carry more charge. Operating conditions such as solution concentration, temperature, and pressure can also affect the separation effect. The higher the concentration, the more likely there is concentration polarization, that is, the solution forms a high concentration layer on the membrane surface, which may reduce the permeation rate of certain ions. Increased temperature usually increases the hydration capacity of ions and may improve the permeability of small ions. The increase in pressure can directly push the solution through the membrane and improve the separation efficiency.

[0005] In practical applications, it is necessary to balance the relationship between multiple performance parameters. These parameters usually include the membrane rejection rate, permeate flux, membrane stability, and operating conditions (such as pressure, temperature, etc.), thereby increasing the rejection rate, but usually resulting in a decrease in the permeate flux (i.e., the water flow through the membrane). This is because a tighter pore structure or a stronger solute-membrane interaction will limit the passage of water molecules. In order to increase the rejection rate, a more complex membrane structure may be required, but this may reduce the mechanical stability of the membrane, making it more susceptible to chemical or physical damage. At the same time, improving selectivity may cause the membrane surface to be more susceptible to contamination or scaling, affecting long-term operating performance.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a nanofiltration membrane that can maintain higher permeation flux and retention rate during the treatment of mixed salt solutions. Summary of the invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an intercalated carbon nitride modified polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane and its preparation method and application in order to solve the problem of multi-component separation of nanofiltration membrane in mixed salt solution. The present invention focuses on the multi-component separation of nanofiltration membrane in mixed salt solution and improves the trade-off effect between high flux and high retention rate to modify the separation layer of polyamide nanofiltration membrane at the molecular scale. The intercalated carbon nitride modified polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane prepared by the present invention can maintain higher permeation flux and retention rate during the treatment of mixed salt solution.

[0008] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0009] A method for preparing an intercalated carbon nitride modified polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane, the specific steps are as follows:

[0010] S1, preparing graphite phase carbon nitride;

[0011] S2, modifying the graphite phase carbon nitride obtained in step S1 to obtain a modified carbon nitride solution;

[0012] S3, mixing the modified carbon nitride solution obtained in step S2, 1,4-bis(3-aminopropyl)-piperazine and deionized water, and obtaining an interfacial polymerization aqueous phase solution after ultrasonic treatment;

[0015] Further, in step S1, graphite phase carbon nitride is prepared by thermal oxidation "etching" process, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0016] Melamine is heated in a tube furnace for a period of time, cooled and ground into powder, then put into the tube furnace again, heated again for a period of time, and ground into powder to obtain graphite phase carbon nitride.

[0017] In the above, the heating rate of the first heating is 4-6°C / min, the first heating temperature is 500-600°C, and the first heating time is 3-5h;

[0018] The heating rate of the reheating is 2 to 4°C / min, the reheating temperature is 450 to 550°C, and the reheating time is 1.5 to 2.5h.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution, the heating rate of the first heating is 5°C / min, the first heating temperature is 550°C, and the first heating time is 4h;

[0020] The heating rate of the reheating is 3°C / min, the reheating temperature is 500°C, and the reheating time is 2h.

[0021] Furthermore, in step S2, the graphite phase carbon nitride obtained in step S1, solvent green 7 and deionized water are mixed, and a dispersion is obtained after ultrasonic treatment; the dispersion is centrifuged and the precipitate is discarded to obtain a modified carbon nitride solution.

[0022] In the above, further, graphite phase carbon nitride: solvent green 7: deionized water = 1-2 mg: 0.5-1.5 mg: 1.5-2.5 ml;

[0023] The ultrasonic frequency is 40 to 60 Hz, and the ultrasonic time is 1 to 3 hours;

[0024] The centrifugal speed is 4000-6000 rpm, and the centrifugal time is 10-30 min.

[0025] As a preferred technical solution, graphite phase carbon nitride: solvent green 7: deionized water = 2mg: 1mg: 2ml;

[0026] The ultrasonic frequency is 50 Hz, and the ultrasonic time is 2 h;

[0027] The centrifugal speed is 5000 rpm, and the centrifugal time is 20 min.

[0028] Further, in step S3, the volume ratio of the modified carbon nitride solution, 1,4-bis(3-aminopropyl)-piperazine and deionized water is 2.5-5:0.5-2:100;

[0029] The ultrasonic frequency is 40-60 Hz, and the ultrasonic time is 3-10 min.

[0030] As a preferred technical solution, the volume ratio of the modified carbon nitride solution, 1,4-bis(3-aminopropyl)-piperazine and deionized water is 3:2:100;

[0031] The ultrasonic frequency is 50 Hz, and the ultrasonic time is 5 min.

[0032] Further, in step S4, trimesoyl chloride: n-hexane = 0.1-0.2 g: 150-250 ml;

[0033] The ultrasonic frequency is 40-60 Hz, and the ultrasonic time is 5-15 min.

[0034] As a preferred technical solution, trimesoyl chloride: n-hexane = 0.2g: 200ml;

[0035] The ultrasonic frequency is 50 Hz, and the ultrasonic time is 10 min.

[0036] Furthermore, in step S5, the base membrane is made of polyethersulfone, the average pore size of the polyethersulfone is in the range of 0.22 μm, the maximum pore size is less than 0.45 μm, and the polyethersulfone has good strength and stability.

[0037] Furthermore, in step S5, the base film is immersed in the interfacial polymerization aqueous phase solution for 2 to 5 minutes, and immersed in the interfacial polymerization organic phase solution for 30 to 60 seconds.

[0038] Furthermore, in step S5, the base membrane is immersed in the interfacial polymerization aqueous phase solution obtained in step S3, naturally air-dried and then immersed again in the interfacial polymerization organic phase solution obtained in step S4, and placed in an oven for curing to obtain an intercalated carbon nitride modified polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane.

[0039] In the above further aspect, the oven temperature is 45-55°C.

[0040] The present invention also provides an intercalated carbon nitride modified polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane, which consists of an organic ultrafiltration base membrane and a polyamide separation layer on the membrane surface. The polyamide separation layer on the membrane surface is formed by graphite phase carbon nitride modified by solvent green 7 attached to the organic ultrafiltration base membrane through an interfacial polymerization process.

[0041] In addition, the present invention also provides an application of an intercalated carbon nitride modified polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane, and the application of the intercalated carbon nitride modified polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane in intercepting monovalent and divalent ions in a mixed salt solution.

[0042] Furthermore, the intercalated carbon nitride modified polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane can achieve effective retention of monovalent and divalent ions in a mixed salt solution at a working pressure of 0.25 MPa after stable operation, and has good permeation flux.

[0043] The principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0044] As a good hydrophilic material, graphite carbon nitride has a large number of free amine groups at its ends, and its triazine ring system provides additional channels for water molecules. Therefore, the introduction of graphite carbon nitride into the polyamide separation layer on the membrane surface greatly improves the hydrophilicity of the composite membrane, thereby overcoming the trade-off effect of the nanofiltration membrane.

[0045] In order to solve the multi-component separation problem of nanofiltration membrane in mixed salt solution, the present invention uses solvent green 7 to perform intercalation treatment on graphite phase carbon nitride. Solvent green 7 has a large planar aromatic structure and can be intercalated with carbon nitride through π-π bonds. Due to the presence of negatively charged groups such as sulfonates on solvent green 7, the charge distribution on the surface of the polyamide separation layer on the membrane surface is adjusted, which helps to improve the retention of different ions by the prepared intercalated carbon nitride modified polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane. In addition, the intercalation treatment also avoids the agglomeration of graphite phase carbon nitride in the separation layer, thereby improving the integrity of the composite membrane.

[0046] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0047] 1. The present invention adopts a thermal oxidation "etching" process to prepare graphite phase carbon nitride, and the product preparation process is simple and is conducive to improving the yield.

[0048] 2. The present invention adopts interfacial polymerization to prepare the intercalated carbon nitride modified polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane. Compared with the existing commercial nanofiltration membrane, the intercalated carbon nitride modified polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane prepared by the present invention has the characteristics of achieving efficient retention of various ions in mixed salt solutions. The intercalated carbon nitride modified polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane prepared by the present invention can maintain higher permeation flux and retention rate during the treatment of mixed salt solutions.

[0049] 3. The polyamide separation layer on the membrane surface of the organic ultrafiltration base membrane used in the present invention is formed by attaching the graphite phase carbon nitride modified by solvent green 7 to the organic ultrafiltration base membrane through the interfacial polymerization process. The present invention uses solvent green 7 to intercalate the graphite phase carbon nitride and introduces it into the polyamide membrane separation layer. From three perspectives, the interlayer spacing is adjusted to avoid the agglomeration of nanoparticles, the hydrophilicity of the membrane is improved, and the surface charge of the membrane is adjusted to enhance the dielectric repulsion. A high-efficiency polyamide nanofiltration membrane that can achieve multi-component separation in a mixed salt solution and has excellent permeation flux is prepared.

The base membrane was immersed in the interfacial polymerization organic phase solution 11 obtained in step S2 again, taken out after 1 minute, and placed in an oven for curing at 50° C. for 15 minutes, and finally a polyamide membrane without added nanomaterials was obtained.

[0099] Test Example 1

[0100] The intercalated carbon nitride modified polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane 12 prepared in Example 1, the composite nanofiltration membrane prepared in Comparative Example 2 without modification of solvent green 7, and the polyamide membrane without added nanomaterials prepared in Comparative Example 3 were subjected to cross-flow filtration experiments with different salt solutions. The treated water was three single salt solutions, 0.5g / L sodium sulfate, 0.5g / L sodium chloride, and 0.5g / L calcium chloride. Before the formal experiment, the intercalated carbon nitride modified polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane 12 was compacted by filtering for 30 minutes at an operating pressure of 0.25MPa with a water solution of the same concentration. Afterwards, filtration was started at an operating pressure of 0.2MPa for 30 minutes. The permeation flux was calculated by the volume of water per unit time; the salt interception rate was calculated by collecting the influent and effluent water solutions before and after filtration, detecting the ion concentration in the water sample by inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy, and finally calculating the actual retention rate.

[0101] The experimental results are as follows Figure 3 As shown, in the retention experiment of a single salt solution, the TFN(S) membrane is the intercalated carbon nitride modified polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane 12 prepared in Example 1, the TFN(C) membrane is the composite nanofiltration membrane prepared in Comparative Example 2 without being modified by Solvent Green 7, and the TFC membrane is the polyamide membrane prepared in Comparative Example 3 without adding nanomaterials.

[0102] For permeation flux, the addition of carbon nitride greatly improves the hydrophilicity of the membrane. This is because carbon nitride improves the polyamide separation layer and pore structure, and the good hydrophilicity of the particles themselves greatly promotes the penetration of water molecules. The intercalation of solvent green 7 prevents the agglomeration of carbon nitride and destroys the pores of the separation layer, thereby further improving the permeation performance. For salt retention rate, based on the Donnan effect, a certain amount of positive charge is distributed on the surface of TFC and TFN (C) membranes, and the retention rate of calcium chloride is relatively high. The intercalation of solvent green 7 introduces negatively charged groups such as sulfonic acid groups inside the pores, thereby improving the retention rate of sodium sulfate. A certain degree of reduction in the overall potential of the membrane surface weakens the rejection of the Donnan effect on the dielectric effect, thereby enhancing the dielectric rejection of different ions by the membrane.

[0103] Test Example 2:

[0104] The intercalated carbon nitride modified polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane 12 prepared in Example 1, the traditional commercial model obtained in Comparative Example 1, the composite nanofiltration membrane prepared in Comparative Example 2 without solvent green 7 modification, and the polyamide membrane without nanomaterial added prepared in Comparative Example 3 were subjected to cross-flow filtration experiments with different salt solutions. The treated water was two mixed salt solutions, namely sodium sulfate-sodium chloride and calcium chloride-sodium chloride solutions, and the salt concentration of each solution was 0.5 g / L. Before the formal experiment, the intercalated carbon nitride modified polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane 12 prepared in Example 1 was compacted by filtering for 30 minutes at an operating pressure of 0.25 MPa with a water solution of the same concentration. Afterwards, filtration was started at an operating pressure of 0.2 MPa, and the filtration time was 30 minutes. The permeation flux was calculated by the volume of water per unit time; the salt interception rate was calculated by collecting the influent and effluent water solutions before and after filtration, detecting the ion concentration in the water sample by inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy, and finally calculating the actual retention rate.

[0105] The experimental results are as follows Figure 4 As shown, in the interception experiment of mixed salt solution, the intercalated carbon nitride modified polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane 12 prepared in Example 1 has a significantly improved interception rate for sodium chloride. The main reason is that the surface of the polyamide separation layer formed by interfacial polymerization has both carboxyl and amino groups, that is, there are both negatively charged and positively charged areas, and the overall charge of the final membrane surface depends on the ratio of positively charged and negatively charged areas, and the ions in the solution will be adsorbed and complexed with the oppositely charged groups on the membrane surface, thereby changing the charge of the membrane surface to a certain extent. The special charge distribution on the membrane surface enhances the interception of different ions.

[0106] Under the same operating pressure and similar salt solution concentration, the filtration performance of TFN(S) and various commercial nanofiltration membranes in mixed salt solution was compared. The results are as follows: Figure 5As shown in the figure, the rejection rate of different ions is increased by more than 50% compared with the traditional commercial membrane, and the permeation flux is more than 1.5 times higher than the commercial membrane, reaching 50.76L·m -2 h -1 .

[0107] Therefore, the intercalated carbon nitride modified polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane prepared by the present invention can maintain higher permeation flux and retention rate during the treatment of mixed salt solution.

[0108] The above description of the embodiments is to facilitate the understanding and use of the invention by those skilled in the art. It is obvious that those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications to these embodiments and apply the general principles described herein to other embodiments without creative work. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention should be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
