Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an ultrapermeable separation membrane, its preparation method and application, belonging to the field of materials and chemical separation. Background Technology
[0002] The excessive consumption of fossil fuels has led to environmental degradation and energy depletion, making the search for renewable and sustainable energy resources an urgent priority. Bio-based platform compounds (such as polyols and furans) prepared through biorefining technology can serve as raw materials for constructing various biofuels and high-value chemicals, thus opening up the biomass chain economy. However, the separation of bio-based platform compounds still faces significant challenges. These compounds mainly originate from the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of carbohydrates, are produced in dilute aqueous solutions, and have high boiling points. Traditional separation methods (such as distillation, stripping, and vapor phase adsorption) involve phase changes of the components to be separated, resulting in complex processes and high energy consumption. In contrast, pervaporation membrane separation is more energy-efficient and suitable for the efficient separation of bio-based platform compounds. Utilizing pervaporation membranes for the efficient enrichment of low-concentration organic products such as alcohols in water requires further optimization of both membrane construction materials and membrane structure construction methods.
[0003] In the field of membrane materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of highly ordered porous organic-inorganic hybrid materials formed by the coordination of metal ions (clusters) and organic ligands. Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), as a subclass of MOFs, are widely used in separation applications due to their unique thermal stability, chemical stability, and microporous properties. To further modulate the framework structure and physicochemical properties of ZIF materials to optimize their application potential in separation systems (Eum K. JACS, 2015, 137:4191), recent reports have described the preparation of dual-ligand ZIF materials by introducing another ligand into the existing ZIF structure for the growth of polycrystalline membranes, thus improving the permeability of propylene molecules in propylene / propane separation systems (Hillman F. ACS Appl. Mater. Interface, 2019, 11:18377). The synthesis of biligand materials using mixed ligands offers new design ideas for the regulation of the material's framework and physicochemical properties, and is expected to provide new opportunities for applications in the field of separation membrane construction.
[0004] In the construction of separation membranes, the construction of the membrane structure is another key to achieving superior organophilic properties. Traditional pervaporation membrane materials used for preferentially permeating organic matter mainly include inorganic molecular sieve membrane materials, organic polymer membrane materials, and organic-inorganic hybrid membrane materials. Although inorganic molecular sieve membranes have good thermal stability, chemical stability, and mechanical strength, the preparation of complete, continuous, and dense molecular sieve membranes requires high precision in terms of processes and substrates. Organic polymer materials have advantages such as good flexibility and film-forming properties, high selectivity, a wide variety, simple preparation processes, and relatively mature technologies, but their stability and mechanical strength still need further improvement. Organic-inorganic hybrid membranes refer to mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) obtained by adding inorganic particles to an organic matrix. They can effectively combine the advantages of both and represent one of the main development directions in the field of pervaporation membrane separation. However, the formation of interfacial defects at the interface of mixed matrix membranes can lead to unsatisfactory separation performance, thus restricting the development of organic-inorganic hybrid membranes for enriching organic matter. Summary of the Invention

The ultrapermeable separation membrane proposed in this invention divides the membrane structure into an affinity molecular surface layer based on organic polymers and an ultrafast transport layer based on dual-ligand metal-organic framework materials. By using a deconstruction-assembly construction approach, the generation of interface defects is avoided, thereby optimizing the enrichment and separation performance of the membrane.
[0006] An ultrapermeable separation membrane is provided, comprising an affinity molecular surface layer (hydrophobic molecular shell) and an ultrafast transport layer, wherein the affinity molecular surface layer is located outside the ultrafast transport layer.

The metal solution and the dual-ligand solution are mixed and reacted at 20–30°C (preferably 23–25°C) for 0.5–24 hours (preferably 2 hours). The resulting product is centrifuged and washed with anhydrous methanol to obtain a dual-ligand metal-organic framework material; wherein the molar ratio of the divalent zinc or cobalt ions to the total amount of 2-methylimidazole and 4,5-dichloroimidazole is 1:2.
[0016] Based on the above technical solution, furthermore, the concentration of the metal solution is 0.007–0.1 g / ml, preferably 0.007–0.01 g / ml; the concentration of the dual-ligand solution is 1*10 -5 ~0.2g / ml, preferably 1*10 -5 ~0.02g / ml.

[0019] Based on the above technical solution, further, in step (1), the preparation method of the mixed matrix membrane casting solution is as follows: 3-5 drops of solution B are added to solution A for pre-wetting, and solution A is further dispersed evenly by ultrasonic dispersion using a probe ultrasonic instrument under an ice-water bath. Then, all of the solution A after ultrasonic treatment by the probe is added to the remaining solution B while stirring. The resulting AB mixture is then further dispersed by ultrasonic dispersion using a probe ultrasonic instrument under an ice-water bath to obtain the mixed matrix membrane casting solution.
