Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of reverse osmosis membrane preparation, and specifically to a high-flux anti-fouling reverse osmosis membrane and a preparation method thereof. Background Technique
[0002] As the core of reverse osmosis technology, reverse osmosis membranes play an important role in water treatment technology. Their working principle is to make water molecules in sewage permeate against the concentration gradient by applying pressure, so as to achieve the effect of intercepting pollutants such as dissolved salts, organic matters, and microorganisms. Reverse osmosis technology originated from the research on seawater desalination in the 1950s and has gradually expanded to fields such as high-salt industrial wastewater treatment and municipal sewage reuse. In the prior art, there are mainly two types of reverse osmosis membranes, namely cellulose acetate membranes and polyamide composite membranes. Among them, cellulose acetate membranes are less used due to poor heat resistance and high operating pressure, while polyamide composite membranes have good thermal stability and mechanical stability and are widely used.
[0003] Traditional polyamide composite membranes have three layers, namely a non-woven fabric layer, a polysulfone porous layer, and a polyamide functional layer. Patent CN202210687721.9 discloses a high-flux antibacterial reverse osmosis membrane and its preparation method and application. The obtained reverse osmosis membrane has a multi-layer structure, and the connection between layers is tight, which prolongs the service life of the reverse osmosis membrane, but the production cost is high and the preparation process is complex.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a high-flux anti-fouling reverse osmosis membrane and a preparation method thereof. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A preparation method of a high-flux anti-fouling reverse osmosis membrane, comprising the following steps:
[0007] Step (1): Pour a hexitol solution on the surface of a polyamide flat fiber membrane, react for 5-15 minutes, pour off the excess solution, rinse the surface of the fiber membrane, then pour a hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin solution, react for 5-15 minutes, pour off the excess solution, and rinse the surface of the fiber membrane to obtain a modified polyamide flat fiber membrane;

Moreover, hexaglycerol has good hydrophilicity, which can improve water permeability; through the interfacial polymerization reaction of the hydroxyl groups of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin with the remaining acyl chloride groups, a polyester protective layer is constructed on the surface of the fiber membrane, reducing the surface roughness of the fiber membrane, increasing its hydrophilicity, and also endowing the fiber membrane with good high-temperature resistance, reducing the flux decay caused by membrane fouling, and extending its service life.
[0018] Furthermore, in step (1), the polyamide flat fiber membrane is prepared by the following process:
[0019] Mix a diamine monomer, a diacyl chloride monomer, zinc acetate, and a solvent, stir and react under a nitrogen atmosphere protection to obtain a spinning solution, then transfer it to a syringe and perform electrospinning on an injection pump to obtain a flat membrane.

[0026] Further, the diamine monomer is one or a mixture of more than one of m - phenylenediamine, hexamethylenediamine, 1,4 - butanediamine, dodecanediamine, tetramethylhexamethylenediamine, and p - phenylenediamine.
[0027] Further, the diacyl chloride monomer is one or a mixture of more than one of adipoyl chloride, sebacoyl chloride, dodecanedioyl chloride, terephthaloyl chloride, isophthaloyl chloride, 2,6 - naphthalenedicarbonyl chloride, and 1,4 - cyclohexanedicarbonyl chloride.
[0028] Further, the solvent is a mixed solution obtained by mixing a polar aprotic organic solvent and an inorganic salt co - solvent in a mass ratio of 1:(1 - 9).
[0029] Further, the polar aprotic organic solvent is one or a mixture of more than one of DMF (N,N - dimethylformamide), DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide), DMAc (N,N - dimethylacetamide), and NMP (N - methylpyrrolidone);
[0030] The inorganic salt co - solvent is one or a mixture of more than one of CaCl2 (calcium chloride), LiBr (lithium bromide), and LiCl (lithium chloride).
[0031] Further, the growth solution is a mixed solution obtained by mixing zinc nitrate and a 0.1 mol / L aqueous solution of hexamethylenetetramine in a mass ratio of 1:1.
[0032] Further, in step (2), the MXene nanosheet dispersion is prepared by the following process:
[0033] S1: Mix Ti3AlC2 (titanium aluminum carbide), LiF (lithium fluoride) and hydrochloric acid solution, stir and react, conduct the first centrifugation, wash, mix the centrifuged precipitate with pure water, under the protection of nitrogen atmosphere, conduct ultrasonic treatment, conduct the second centrifugation, and freeze-dry the supernatant after centrifugation to obtain MXene nanosheets;
[0034] S2: Mix MXene nanosheets and buffer solution, conduct ultrasonic dispersion to obtain MXene nanosheet dispersion.
[0035] Further, in S1, the ratio of Ti3AlC2, LiF to hydrochloric acid solution is (2 - 4) g : (3 - 5) g : (100 - 200) mL;
[0036] The mass ratio of the precipitate to pure water is 1 : (10 - 20).
[0037] Further, the mass fraction of the hydrochloric acid solution is 36%.

[0045] In the above technical solution, using diamine monomer, diacyl chloride monomer and zinc acetate as raw materials, a nanofiber membrane containing ZnO was prepared by electrospinning technology. However, using ZnO as a raw material for spinning will cause uneven distribution and polymerization. Therefore, zinc acetate is used, and through heat treatment, ZnO seeds are formed. Hexamethylenetetramine in the growth solution is heated and hydrolyzed to release OH - , and zinc nitrate dissociates to provide Zn 2+, The two combine to generate Zn(OH)₂ intermediate, which then dehydrates to form ZnO nuclei. The ZnO seeds provide heterogeneous nucleation sites, reducing the nucleation energy barrier and promoting the growth of ZnO. ZnO can initiate redox reactions under ultraviolet irradiation to decompose organic pollutants in water. When combined with the fiber membrane, they act synergistically to further improve the filtration performance of the reverse osmosis membrane. At the same time, the polar surface of ZnO enhances the hydrophilicity of the fiber membrane, further increasing the water flux and reducing membrane fouling;
[0046] The MXene nanosheets have a hydrophilic surface and a high porosity. The MXene nanosheets are loaded on the fiber membrane through vacuum filtration technology, further enhancing the flux of the reverse osmosis membrane. The conductive network of the MXene nanosheets can rapidly move charges, reducing fouling caused by charge accumulation on the membrane surface;
[0047] In addition, ZnO and MXene nanosheets act synergistically to expand the interlayer spacing through steric hindrance effects, jointly regulate ion hydration, optimize the transport path of water molecules, enhance the selective rejection of salt ions, and improve the desalination rate.

At the same time, a hydration layer is formed to prevent pollutants from directly contacting the fiber membrane surface, reducing pollutant adsorption and improving the anti-fouling performance of the fiber membrane. Moreover, hexitol has good hydrophilicity, which can improve water permeability. Through the interfacial polymerization reaction of the hydroxyl groups of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin with the remaining acyl chloride groups, a polyester protective layer is constructed on the surface of the fiber membrane, reducing the surface roughness of the fiber membrane, increasing its hydrophilicity, and also endowing the fiber membrane with good high-temperature resistance, reducing the flux decay caused by fouling, and extending its service life.
[0050] 2. Using diamine monomers, diacyl chloride monomers, and zinc acetate as raw materials, a nanofiber membrane containing ZnO is prepared through electrospinning technology. However, using ZnO as a raw material for spinning will result in uneven distribution and polymerization. Therefore, zinc acetate is used, and then through heat treatment, ZnO seeds are formed.

ZnO can trigger redox reactions under ultraviolet irradiation to decompose organic pollutants in water. Combined with the fiber membrane, they work synergistically to further improve the filtration performance of the reverse osmosis membrane.

[0115]
[0116] According to the data in the above table, the following conclusions can be obtained:
[0117] By comparing the reverse osmosis membranes obtained in Examples 1 - 3 with those in Comparative Examples 1 - 3, the test results show that
[0118] Compared with Example 1, in Comparative Example 1, hexanehexol and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin were not used for graft modification of the polyamide flat fiber membrane, and its water flux decreased significantly, and the flux decay rate increased. The reason is that the surface of the fiber membrane formed by electrospinning is hydrophobic, while both hexanehexol and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin are hydrophilic and can improve water permeability. Hexanehexol can form a hydration layer on the surface of the fiber membrane to prevent pollutants from directly contacting the surface of the fiber membrane. Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin undergoes an interfacial polymerization reaction with acyl chloride groups to construct a polyester protective layer on the surface of the fiber membrane, reduce pollutant adsorption, and improve the anti-fouling performance of the fiber membrane;
[0119] Compared with Example 1, in Comparative Example 2, zinc acetate was not added during the preparation of the polyamide flat fiber membrane, and MXene nanosheets were not loaded on the modified polyamide flat fiber membrane, and the desalination rate decreased significantly. The reason is that zinc acetate forms ZnO under the action of heat treatment and growth solution, combines with MXene nanosheets, expands the layer spacing through steric hindrance effect, jointly regulates ion hydration, optimizes the transmission path of water molecules, enhances the selective rejection of salt ions, and improves the desalination rate;
[0120] Compared with Example 1, in Comparative Example 3, hexanehexol and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin were not used for graft modification of the polyamide flat fiber membrane, and at the same time, MXene nanosheets were not loaded on the modified polyamide flat fiber membrane. Both the water flux and the desalination rate decreased, and the flux decay rate increased. It can be seen that the process and the materials used in this application can promote the improvement of the water flux and desalination rate of the prepared reverse osmosis membrane and reduce the flux decay rate.
[0121] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention.
