Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nanofiltration membrane preparation, and in particular to a method for preparing a polar solvent-resistant nanofiltration membrane and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, a large number of organic solvents are used in industrial production, such as methanol, ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, toluene, tetrahydrofuran, DMAC, DMF and NMP. On the one hand, most organic solvents are toxic substances, and the recovery of organic solvents is of great significance to resource conservation and environmental protection; on the other hand, in the production process, the extraction of products requires the removal of organic solvents, and the extraction method needs to take into account the influence of organic solvents. At present, the methods of organic solvent recovery and product extraction mainly include distillation, extraction, absorption and membrane separation. The distillation operation has a large processing scale, high operating temperature and energy consumption, which is suitable for the industrial production of ordinary compounds and difficult to handle heat-sensitive substances; extraction requires the introduction of new solvents as extractants, which consumes raw materials and increases costs, and the subsequent mixture needs secondary separation, which is not effective; the volatility of organic solvents is used to dissolve or react organic waste gas with absorbents to achieve the purpose of recovery, but the absorbent is generally also an organic solvent, which will cause secondary pollution. Therefore, in order to meet the requirements of green energy conservation and environmental protection, the treatment of related solvents through organic solvent separation membranes has received more and more attention.

[0003] Organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) technology has shown great application potential in processes such as material separation, drug concentration and refining. Solvent-resistant nanofiltration membrane materials are the core of OSN technology. Nanofiltration membrane is a new type of membrane separation technology between reverse osmosis membrane and ultrafiltration membrane. Nanofiltration membrane has high filtration accuracy and flux, and can achieve separation, purification and concentration of substances at the molecular level. It is widely used in water treatment, chemical industry and medicine. However, traditional nanofiltration membranes are insufficient in solvent resistance. When in contact with organic solvents, they are easily corroded by solvents and swell and plasticize. When processing solutions containing organic solvents, problems such as decreased membrane flux and reduced filtration accuracy often occur. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop a nanofiltration membrane with high solvent resistance.

[0004] A Chinese invention patent application with publication number CN116078160A discloses a polyethylene-based solvent-resistant and acid-alkali-resistant reverse osmosis membrane and a method for preparing the same. The polyethylene membrane is placed in a polymer solution with a hydroxyl group for hydrophilic modification, and then the surface is coated with a PES-type polymer. Then, interfacial polymerization is performed on the PES coating to prepare the reverse osmosis membrane. This method immerses the polyethylene membrane in a hydrophilic agent for modification, and the binding between the hydrophilic agent and the polyethylene membrane is weak. At the same time, since a PES small-pore membrane layer is coated on the polyethylene surface, the advantage brought by the large-pore flux of the polyethylene will be reduced to a certain extent, and its separation layer is polyamide, which has limited tolerance to polar solvents.

[0005] The Chinese invention patent application with publication number CN103933881A discloses that an ultrafiltration membrane is used as a porous support layer, cyanuric chloride and / or hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene are selected as oil phase solutes to undergo polymerization reaction with amine water phase solutes at the interface between the two phases, the reaction temperature is controlled to activate various groups in the reaction monomers, and different active nucleophilic reagents are introduced step by step to connect specific groups, thereby synthesizing a loosely structured membrane selection layer on the surface of the porous support layer; however, the reagent used in the water phase of this method is amines, and it is prepared on an ultrafiltration membrane, resulting in a low flux of the obtained membrane product and limited solvent resistance.

[0028] Those skilled in the art should understand that the drawings are merely schematic diagrams of embodiments, and the components in the drawings are not necessarily necessary for implementing the present invention.

[0029] One of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a polar solvent-resistant nanofiltration membrane, which can solve the technical problem of poor solvent resistance of the nanofiltration membrane in the prior art.

[0030] The second object of the present invention is to provide a polar solvent resistant nanofiltration membrane, which can not only effectively filter and separate different components in a solution, but also has high solvent resistance and long-term stability, can work stably in a solvent for a long time, and maintain high separation performance and flux.

[0031] The third object of the present invention is to provide an application of a polar solvent-resistant nanofiltration membrane, which can avoid the problem of the nanofiltration membrane being easily corroded, swollen and plasticized when contacting an organic solvent, and can achieve outstanding application effects.

[0032] The first aspect of the present invention is a method for preparing a polar solvent resistant nanofiltration membrane, comprising the following steps: (a) The polyethylene film is oxidized and modified by potassium permanganate to obtain a modified polyethylene film; (b) Hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene and polyphenol compounds are interfacially polymerized and thermally cured on the surface of the modified polyethylene membrane to form a polymer separation layer, and the polymer separation layer is activated to obtain a polar solvent resistant nanofiltration membrane.

[0033] In the present invention, the polyethylene film is first oxidized by potassium permanganate, a strong oxidant, to improve its hydrophilicity, and then hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene and polyphenol compounds are subjected to interfacial polymerization reaction on the polyethylene film (substrate) to generate polyether compounds containing cyclotriphosphazene (cyclotriphosphazene derivatives) as a polymer separation layer. The molecular structure of the cyclotriphosphazene derivative contains phosphorus and nitrogen structures with single and double bonds arranged alternately, so it has excellent heat resistance, flame retardancy, solvent resistance and radiation resistance, which can greatly enhance the solvent resistance of the membrane product; then, the coating crosslinking density is increased by thermal curing, the coating stability and bonding strength are enhanced, and activation treatment is performed to improve the membrane performance, thereby obtaining a polar solvent resistant nanofiltration membrane.

[0034] The present invention provides a method for preparing a polar solvent resistant nanofiltration membrane, which uses a polyethylene membrane as a substrate. Compared with polysulfone as a substrate for a reverse osmosis / nanofiltration membrane, the polyethylene has a larger porosity and pore size, so the generated membrane product has a higher flux and is also more solvent resistant. Compared with directly using a polyethylene membrane or modifying it hydrophilically by dipping, or modifying the surface by coating a PES-type polymer, the present invention oxidizes the polyethylene membrane by using a strong oxidant, potassium permanganate, which can not only form carboxyl (-COOH), carbonyl (-C=O) and hydroxyl (-OH) groups on the membrane material to increase the hydrophilicity of the polyethylene membrane, but also the oxidation of potassium permanganate has an etching effect, which can remove the weak bonding layer on the surface of the polyethylene membrane, increase the surface roughness, and thus enhance the adhesion of subsequent interfacial polymerization and fiber layers. force; at the same time, the oxidation of potassium permanganate can deposit nano manganese dioxide particles on the polyethylene fibers, and the nano manganese dioxide particles can form hydrogen bonds with subsequent interfacial polymerization products, thereby enhancing the solvent resistance of the membrane; compared with the common polyamide layer, the present invention performs interfacial polymerization reaction on a polyethylene substrate with hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene and a polyphenol compound and thermally cures the reaction to generate a polyether polymer separation layer, and the polymer separation layer is more solvent-resistant; compared with direct film formation after interfacial polymerization, the present invention adds an activation treatment, for example, a polar solvent can be used for activation treatment, and the slight swelling effect of the polar solvent can be used to further improve the membrane flux without reducing the membrane desalination rate. At the same time, the polar solvent dissolves some small molecular fragments on the membrane and can repair some loose sites on the membrane surface.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the method for oxidative modification of the present invention comprises the following steps: The polyethylene film is immersed in a potassium permanganate solution to obtain a modified polyethylene film.

[0036] The polyethylene film is immersed in a potassium permanganate solution, the concentration of the potassium permanganate solution can be 0.1-0.2 mol / L, and its typical but non-limiting concentration is, for example, 0.1 mol / L, 0.12 mol / L, 0.14 mol / L, 0.16 mol / L, 0.18 mol / L, and 0.2 mol / L. The temperature of the potassium permanganate solution can be 50-60°C, and its typical but non-limiting temperature is, for example, 50°C, 52°C, 54°C, 56°C, 58°C, and 60°C; the polyethylene film can be immersed for 36-60 hours, and its typical but non-limiting time is, for example, 36 hours, 38 hours, 40 hours, 45 hours, 50 hours, 55 hours, and 60 hours; after immersion, the polyethylene film is taken out and rinsed with deionized water, and then dried at 70°C to obtain the modified polyethylene film. Under the action of potassium permanganate, the surface of the polyethylene fiber is oxidized to produce highly active oxygen-containing groups such as carboxyl (-COOH), carbonyl (-C=O) and hydroxyl (-OH), thereby increasing the hydrophilicity of the polyethylene film; in addition, potassium permanganate also has a certain etching effect due to its oxidizing property, which can remove the weak binding layer on the surface of the polyethylene, thereby increasing the surface roughness of the polyethylene fiber, thereby enhancing the adhesion between the subsequent interfacial polymerization and the fiber layer; at the same time, oxidation can also cause nano-manganese dioxide particles to be deposited on the polyethylene fiber. The existing nano-manganese dioxide particles can form hydrogen bonds with the subsequent interfacial polymerization products, thereby enhancing the solvent resistance of the film.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the polyphenol compounds include but are not limited to at least one of 4,4'-dihydroxybiphenyl, 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl ether, 4,4'-dihydroxybenzophenone, bisphenol S, 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl disulfide, 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl propane, 3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene and their derivatives. Hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene reacts with the above polyphenol compounds to generate polyether compounds containing cyclotriphosphazene. The polyether polymer separation layer is more stable than conventional polyamide and more resistant to solvents.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the temperature of thermal curing can be 70-80°C, and typical but non-limiting temperatures are, for example, 70°C, 72°C, 74°C, 76°C, 78°C, and 80°C; the duration of thermal curing can be 20-30h, and typical but non-limiting durations are, for example, 20h, 22h, 24h, 26h, 28h, and 30h. The above-mentioned thermal curing temperature and duration are more conducive to further improving the crosslinking density of the coating, and are more conducive to further enhancing the stability and bonding strength of the coating.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the activation method includes but is not limited to immersing the separation layer in a polar solvent to activate the separation layer; wherein the polar solvent includes but is not limited to at least one of DMF, DMAC and DMSO.

[0040] In the present invention, the polar solvent may be used to soak the separation layer for 5 to 8 minutes, and a typical but non-limiting time period is, for example, 5 minutes, 6 minutes, 7 minutes, or 8 minutes, which is more conducive to further improving the activation effect.

[0041] The present invention uses a polar (mixed) solvent to activate the membrane layer after interfacial polymerization and thermal curing, and utilizes the slight swelling effect of the polar solvent to further increase the membrane flux without reducing the membrane desalination rate. At the same time, the polar (mixed) solvent dissolves some small molecular fragments on the membrane, and can repair some loose sites on the membrane surface.

[0060] Test example The nanofiltration membranes prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were subjected to retention and flux tests, respectively; the test method was as follows: the operating pressure was 0.6 MPa, the test solution was 1 g / L magnesium sulfate solution, the solution temperature was 25°C, the pH was 6.5-7.5, and the water flux and desalination rate of the test membrane were measured after 30 minutes of operation; the test results are shown in Table 1.

[0061] The nanofiltration membranes prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were subjected to solvent resistance tests, respectively, and the solvent was DMAC; the test method was: the membranes were immersed in the solvents, respectively, at room temperature for 20 days, and the flux of the membranes after immersion and the retention of 1 g / L magnesium sulfate were tested; the test results are shown in Table 2.

[0062] In Comparative Example 1, the hydrophilic additive was not firmly bonded to the polyethylene layer, so the desalination rate of the membrane was attenuated to a certain extent; in Comparative Example 3, the nanofiltration membrane had limited resistance to polar solvents. After being soaked in polar solvents, the desalination layer was damaged, the desalination rate decreased, and the flux increased.

Compared with polysulfone as the substrate of reverse osmosis / nanofiltration membrane, polyethylene has larger porosity and pore size, so the generated membrane product has higher flux and is also more solvent resistant; compared with directly using polyethylene membrane or modifying it by impregnation for hydrophilicity, or modifying the surface by coating PES polymer, the present invention oxidizes the polyethylene membrane by potassium permanganate, a strong oxidant, which can not only form carboxyl (-COOH), carbonyl (-C=O) and hydroxyl (-OH) groups on the membrane material to increase the hydrophilicity of the polyethylene membrane, but also the oxidation of potassium permanganate has an etching effect, which can remove the weak bonding layer on the surface of the polyethylene membrane, increase the surface roughness, and thus enhance the subsequent interfacial polymerization and fiber layer. Adhesion; at the same time, the oxidation of potassium permanganate can deposit nano manganese dioxide particles on the polyethylene fiber, and the nano manganese dioxide particles can form hydrogen bonds with the subsequent interfacial polymerization products, thereby enhancing the solvent resistance of the membrane; compared with the common polyamide layer, the present invention uses hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene and a polyphenol compound to carry out interfacial polymerization reaction on a polyethylene substrate and thermally cure to generate a polyether polymer separation layer, and the polymer separation layer is more solvent-resistant; compared with direct film formation after interfacial polymerization, the present invention adds an activation treatment, for example, a polar solvent can be used for activation treatment, and the slight swelling effect of the polar solvent can be used to further improve the membrane flux without reducing the membrane desalination rate. At the same time, the polar solvent dissolves some small molecular fragments on the membrane and can repair some loose sites on the membrane surface.

[0064] The polar solvent resistant nanofiltration membrane provided by the present invention can not only effectively filter and separate different components in a solution, but also has high solvent resistance and long-term stability. The nanofiltration membrane can work stably in a solvent for a long time, maintain high separation performance and flux, and can avoid the phenomenon that the common polyamide and polyimide separation layers swell after long-term use in a solvent environment, resulting in a decrease in membrane separation performance.

[0065] The application of the polar solvent resistant nanofiltration membrane provided by the present invention can avoid the problem that the nanofiltration membrane is easily corroded and swells and plasticizes when it contacts with organic solvents, and the application effect is outstanding.

[0066] Although the above describes the specific implementation mode of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative work on the basis of the technical solution disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
