Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of water treatment membrane materials, and in particular to an anti-pollution nanofiltration membrane and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Due to the shortage of total freshwater resources and the continuous increase in industrial water consumption, the proportion of water costs in the total cost of industrial production has continued to increase, limiting the development of high-water-consuming industrial manufacturing. Therefore, how to save water and recycle water resources is an important research direction at present.

[0003] Membrane water treatment technology is an efficient and environmentally friendly water treatment technology that has been widely studied and applied in my country in recent years. This technology uses special membrane materials to separate harmful substances in water through physical or chemical methods to achieve the purpose of purifying water. Membrane water treatment technology has the advantages of simple operation, high efficiency, small footprint, and good water quality. It can effectively solve the problems of water shortage and water environment pollution in my country.

[0004] The research on membrane water treatment technology mainly focuses on the research and development of membrane materials, the optimization of membrane processes, and the control of membrane pollution. With the continuous advancement of materials science and membrane process technology, new membrane materials and membrane processes continue to emerge, such as nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, and ultrafiltration. These new membrane materials and membrane processes have higher filtration efficiency, better anti-pollution performance, and longer service life, providing strong support for the development of membrane water treatment technology. On a theoretical level, membrane water treatment technology is based on the principle of molecular sieves, and separates harmful substances from water through the selective separation of membranes. In this process, factors such as the properties of membrane materials, the design of membrane processes, and operating conditions will affect the treatment effect. Therefore, for different application scenarios and water treatment needs, it is necessary to select suitable membrane materials and membrane processes, and optimize operating conditions to achieve efficient and stable water treatment effects.

[0005] Nanofiltration membrane is one of the key technologies in membrane water treatment technology. Due to its excellent selective separation ability, it has broad application prospects in the fields of seawater desalination pretreatment and zero discharge of industrial wastewater. Traditional nanofiltration membrane is similar to reverse osmosis membrane, which is mainly composed of polyester non-woven fabric support layer, polysulfone / polyethersulfone base layer and polyamide separation layer. Unlike reverse osmosis membrane, the separation layer structure of nanofiltration membrane is mainly semi-aromatic polyamide, which is mainly polymerized by piperazine (PIP) and acyl chloride through interfacial polymerization technology. Therefore, its separation layer has a relatively low cross-linking degree, and the separation ability is significantly affected by the surface charge, which has a significant selective separation ability. However, traditional nanofiltration membranes often face the disadvantages of low flux and poor antifouling, which makes the operating cost of membrane systems in industrial applications high, seriously hindering the wider application of nanofiltration membranes.

[0006] Therefore, providing a nanofiltration membrane with good flux and anti-fouling performance is a technical problem that needs to be solved in the current field. Summary of the invention

[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an anti-pollution nanofiltration membrane and a preparation method and use thereof. Compared with the prior art, the nanofiltration membrane provided by the present invention has the advantages of high pure water flux, good surface hydrophilicity and strong anti-fouling performance, can operate stably for a long time, and the preparation method is simple, which is conducive to industrial application.

[0069] Example 4

[0070] This embodiment provides a method for preparing an anti-pollution nanofiltration membrane. The difference between the preparation method and embodiment 1 is that the mass percentage of polyethylene oxide in the reaction water phase is 0.3%.

[0071] Example 5

[0072] This embodiment provides a method for preparing an anti-pollution nanofiltration membrane. The difference between the preparation method and embodiment 1 is that the mass percentage of polyethylene oxide in the reaction water phase is 0.5%.

[0073] Example 6

[0074] This embodiment provides a method for preparing an anti-pollution nanofiltration membrane. The difference between the preparation method and Example 1 is that the mass percentage of polyethylene oxide in the reaction water phase is 0.7%.

[0075] Example 7

[0076] This embodiment provides a method for preparing an anti-pollution nanofiltration membrane. The difference between the preparation method and Example 1 is that the mass percentage of polyethylene oxide in the reaction water phase is 1%.

[0077] Example 8

[0078] This embodiment provides a method for preparing an anti-pollution nanofiltration membrane. The difference between the preparation method and Example 7 is that the mass percentage of polyethylene oxide in the reaction water phase is 3%.

[0079] Comparative Example 1

[0080] This comparative example provides a method for preparing an anti-fouling nanofiltration membrane, which is different from Example 7 only in that polyethylene oxide is not added to the reaction aqueous phase.

[0081] Performance Test:

[0082] (1) Membrane separation performance test: 2 g / L sodium sulfate solution was used as the feed solution, and the separation performance of the prepared nanofiltration membrane was tested using a laboratory self-assembled nanofiltration membrane separation performance test device. The conductivity of the feed solution and the produced water was measured using a conductivity meter, and the salt retention rate of the membrane was calculated. The data of Examples 1-8 are shown in Table 1, and the data of Comparative Example 1 is shown in Table 2.

[0083] (2) Membrane anti-fouling performance test: A 1 g / L bovine serum albumin solution was prepared as the feed solution, and the membrane's anti-fouling performance against bovine serum albumin and the performance recovery after flushing were tested, expressed as flux decrease rate and flux recovery rate. The data of Examples 1-8 are shown in Table 1, and the data of Comparative Example 1 is shown in Table 2.

[0084] Table 1

[0085]

[0086]

[0087] From the data in Table 1, we can see that:

[0088] (1) The data of Examples 1-7 show that the nanofiltration membrane provided by the present invention has good separation performance and anti-pollution performance. Taking the membrane separation performance test of Na2SO4 as an example, under optimal conditions, the Na2SO4 flux of the nanofiltration membrane provided by the present invention can reach 61.9 L / (m 2 ·h·MPa), the Na2SO4 retention rate is above 92.64%. Taking the anti-fouling performance test of bovine serum albumin as an example, the flux decline rate is below 9.30%, and the flux recovery rate is above 88.33%.

[0089] (2) The data of Examples 1 and 4-7 show that the salt flux of the membrane gradually increases and tends to be stable as the concentration of polyethylene oxide in the reaction water phase increases. When the PEO concentration is 1%, the flux and retention rate are both good, and the overall performance is optimal.

[0090] (3) By comparing Example 1 and Example 8, it can be seen that when PEO is excessive, the viscosity of the reaction water phase is too high, which makes it difficult to remove the excess water phase on the surface, resulting in uneven distribution of the surface water phase, defects in the formed polyamide layer, and reduced salt retention rate. In addition, since the defective parts are more susceptible to fouling, the anti-fouling property is not ideal. Therefore, the addition of PEO should not be excessive.

[0091] Table 2

[0092]

[0093]

[0094] Taking the comparison between Example 7 and Comparative Example 1 as an example, it can be seen from the data in Table 2 that in Example 7, by adding polyethylene oxide to the reaction aqueous phase, when the Na2SO4 retention rate is similar, the Na2SO4 flux in Example 1 is more than 3 times that of Comparative Example 1, indicating that the anti-fouling nanofiltration membrane provided by the present invention has excellent membrane separation performance; at the same time, under the same operating conditions, the anti-fouling performance in Example 7 is significantly better than that in Comparative Example 1, which shows that the anti-fouling nanofiltration membrane provided by the present invention also has excellent anti-fouling performance.

[0095] Based on the above data, the comparison of the Fourier transform infrared spectra of the nanofiltration membrane in Example 7 and Comparative Example 1 is shown in the figure below. Figure 1 As shown, from Figure 1 It can be seen that the addition of polyethylene oxide does not cause additional peaks or prominent peak intensity changes in the infrared of the membrane surface, which proves that polyethylene oxide does not participate in the interfacial polymerization and only plays a role in regulating the reaction rate during the entire interfacial polymerization process; the SEM images of the nanofiltration membranes obtained in Example 7 and Comparative Example 1 are shown respectively. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it can be seen that in Example 7, a regular Turing structure can be formed by adding polyethylene oxide. The appearance of the regular Turing structure is generally considered to be caused by the large difference in the diffusion rate of the two-phase monomers participating in the reaction at the interface.
