Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a charge-compensating crosslinking agent for constructing graphene oxide nanofiltration membranes and a method for preparing the same, belonging to the technical field of crosslinked graphene oxide nanofiltration membrane materials and their preparation. Background Technology

[0002] Membrane separation technology is widely used in seawater desalination due to its advantages such as high cost-effectiveness, high efficiency, and environmental friendliness. Graphene oxide (GO) is rich in oxygen-containing functional groups on its surface (such as carboxyl, hydroxyl, carbonyl, and epoxy groups), exhibiting good hydrophilicity, flexibility, and processability. The nanochannels in GO membrane structures typically exhibit a "size sieving effect," while the deprotonation of carboxyl groups at the edges of GO nanosheets generates a negative charge. Due to the synergistic effect of the size sieving effect and the Donnan effect, pure GO membranes can strongly repel negatively charged organic molecules and divalent ions, thereby achieving the retention and filtration of organic molecules and salt ions. However, graphene oxide membranes are prone to swelling in aqueous solutions, leading to low selectivity between metal ions. Simultaneously, graphene oxide sheets readily interact with ions, hindering ion transport and resulting in low ion flux. Therefore, modification and regulation of graphene oxide membranes are necessary to improve ion flux and selectivity.

[0003] To improve the structural stability of graphene-based membranes, molecular crosslinking strategies can be employed to precisely and stably control the interlayer structure and separation performance of GO membranes. For example, the journal *Carbon* (2016, 101, 290-295) reported a method for achieving different sieving of metal ions by constructing crosslinked graphene oxide membranes. Under the action of an acid catalyst, the graphene oxide membrane was sequentially immersed in dicarboxylic acid and diamine solutions to achieve crosslinking. Compared to pure graphene oxide membranes, the crosslinked graphene oxide membranes prepared by this method showed improved sieving performance for metal ions of different valence states. However, during the crosslinking process, a large number of oxygen-containing functional groups on the graphene oxide surface were consumed, weakening the Donnan effect. This resulted in unsatisfactory separation performance of the obtained membrane material for negatively charged salt ions, with a relatively low ion flux of only 10⁻⁶. -2 mol·m -2 ·h -1 Furthermore, the preparation process is complex, the membrane has poor controllability, and it is not conducive to mass production.

[0004] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a graphene oxide-based membrane material that simultaneously possesses interlayer structural stability and interlayer electronegativity to improve the separation of salt ions and ion flux of nanofiltration membranes. Summary of the Invention

Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] A method for preparing a graphene oxide nanofiltration membrane using a charge-compensating crosslinking agent includes the following steps:

[0037] (1) Preparation of graphene oxide nanosheet dispersion: 4 g of 325 mesh graphite flakes, 480 mL of 98% concentrated sulfuric acid and 54 mL of 85% concentrated phosphoric acid were mixed and stirred. 24 g of potassium permanganate was slowly added. After reacting in a water bath at 50℃ for 24 h, 800 mL of deionized water was added. Then, 30% hydrogen peroxide was added dropwise until the solution turned golden yellow. After standing overnight, the solution was centrifuged. The centrifuged product was washed with dilute hydrochloric acid and deionized water until pH=5~6. After dialyzing, the product was dispersed in ultrapure water to obtain a graphene oxide nanosheet dispersion with a concentration of 1 mg / mL.

[0038] (2) Preparation of charge-compensating crosslinking agent dispersion: 0.021 mmol 2,5-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid (4 mg) was dissolved in 4 mL of ultrapure water, and then dissolved at 400 r / min and 80℃ for 3 h to obtain a charge-compensating crosslinking agent dispersion with a concentration of 1 mg / mL.

[0039] (3) Preparation of charge-compensated cross-linked graphene oxide nanosheet dispersion: The graphene oxide nanosheet dispersion obtained in step (1) and the charge-compensated cross-linking agent dispersion obtained in step (2) are mixed in a volume ratio of 1:1 and stirred at 400 r / min for 30 min to make the dispersion uniform. Then, the cross-linking reaction is carried out at 400 r / min and 80℃ for 3 h.

[0040] (4) Preparation of charge-compensated cross-linked graphene oxide nanofiltration membrane: Take 2 mL of the charge-compensated cross-linked graphene oxide nanosheet dispersion obtained in step (3) and dilute it into 200 mL of solution. After sonicating at 180 W power for 0.5 h, the uniformly mixed dispersion is filtered onto a PES microporous filter membrane with a pore size of 0.22 μm and a diameter of 50 mm by vacuum-assisted filtration. The membrane is dried at 45 °C for 24 h to obtain the charge-compensated cross-linked graphene oxide nanofiltration membrane, named DABA-GO membrane.

[0041] The membrane separation performance was tested using a cross-flow filtration device, with a pure water flux of 1.8 L·m⁻¹. -2 ·h -1 ·bar -1 The rejection rate for Na2SO4 was 92.8%.

[0042] Performance characterization of charge-compensated cross-linked graphene oxide nanofiltration membranes

[0043] The charge-compensated crosslinked graphene oxide nanofiltration membrane prepared in Example 1 was characterized, and the results are shown in the figure. Figure 1 ~3. From Figure 1 It can be seen that the prepared charge-compensated cross-linked graphene oxide nanosheets exhibit a distinct two-dimensional structure with an undulating surface and a thickness of 10–14 nm. These results indicate that GO and DABA were successfully cross-linked.

[0044] from Figure 2 It can be seen that the charge-compensated cross-linked graphene oxide nanosheet dispersion has a more negative Zeta potential than the graphene oxide dispersion, exhibiting stronger electronegativity.

[0045] from Figure 3 The membrane surface is dense and intact, without defects, and the cross-sectional thickness is about 225 nm, which helps the membrane retain salt ions.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that the amount of 2,5-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid added is 2 mg, resulting in a charge-compensating crosslinking agent dispersion with a GO:DABA mass ratio of 1:0.5.

[0048] The membrane separation performance was tested using a cross-flow filtration device, with a pure water flux of 3.6 L·m⁻¹. -2 ·h -1 ·bar -1 The rejection rate for Na2SO4 was 87.8%.

[0049] Example 3

[0050] The difference between Example 3 and Example 1 is that the amount of 2,5-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid added is 6 mg, resulting in a charge-compensating crosslinking agent dispersion with a GO:DABA mass ratio of 1:1:5.

[0051] The membrane separation performance was tested using a cross-flow filtration device, with a pure water flux of 1.4 L·m⁻¹. -2 ·h -1 ·bar -1 The rejection rate for Na2SO4 was 91.3%.

[0052] Example 4

[0053] The difference between Example 4 and Example 1 is that the amount of 2,5-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid added is 8 mg, resulting in a charge-compensating crosslinking agent dispersion with a GO:DABA mass ratio of 1:2.

[0054] The membrane separation performance was tested using a cross-flow filtration device, with a pure water flux of 1.2 L·m⁻¹. -2 ·h -1 ·bar -1 The rejection rate for Na2SO4 was 92.3%.

[0055] As can be seen from Examples 1-4, with the increase of the mass ratio of the charge-compensating crosslinking agent 2,5-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid to graphene oxide nanosheets, the retention performance of the composite membrane for Na2SO4 gradually improves and then stabilizes, but the pure water flux gradually decreases. When the mass ratio of graphene oxide to charge-compensating crosslinking agent is 1:1, the composite membrane exhibits better separation performance.

[0056] Example 5

[0057] The difference between Example 5 and Example 1 is that 4 mg of 2,4-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid was added to obtain a charge-compensating crosslinking agent dispersion with a mass ratio of GO to 2,4-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid of 1:1.

[0058] The membrane separation performance was tested using a cross-flow filtration device, with a pure water flux of 0.9 L·m⁻¹. -2 ·h -1 ·bar -1 The rejection rate for Na2SO4 was 94.4%.

[0059] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 5, compared with 2,5-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid, which uses 2,4-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid with closer intermolecular distance between diamine molecules, the composite membrane has improved Na2SO4 retention performance, but the pure water flux is relatively reduced.

The membrane is then dried at 45 °C for 24 h to obtain a pure graphene oxide nanofiltration membrane, which is named GO membrane.

[0062] The membrane separation performance was tested using a cross-flow filtration device, with a pure water flux of 6.9 L·m⁻¹. -2 ·h -1 ·bar -1 The rejection rate for Na2SO4 was 68.2%.

The membrane was dried at 45 °C for 24 h to obtain a reduced graphene oxide nanofiltration membrane, named rGO membrane. The separation performance of the membrane was tested using a cross-flow filtration device, and its pure water flux was 5.1 L·m⁻¹. -2 ·h -1 ·bar -1 The rejection rate for Na2SO4 was 80.7%.
