TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of membrane materials and their preparation technology, in particular to a multifunctional and multipurpose separation membrane and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Human society cannot do without the separation of materials, among which the separation of chemical products accounts for 30% of the world's total energy consumption, and 70% of which is consumed by separation. In addition, with the rapid development of industrialization and the frequent occurrence of extreme weather, water shortage has become a pressing problem. In recent years, membrane separation technology has developed rapidly, and different types of membranes have been developed for different separation systems, such as reverse osmosis membranes, membrane distillation membranes, nanofiltration membranes, gas separation membranes, and permeation gasification membranes.
[0003] For example, the prior art CN 108654407 A discloses a method and device for preparing a composite nanofiltration membrane, comprising the following steps:
[0004] Step one, selecting a hydrophobic support as the base film of the nanofiltration membrane; step two, using a reverse interfacial polymerization reaction method, immersing the selected base film in an oil phase monomer; step three, immersing the completely immersed base film in a water phase monomer for reaction; step four, heat-treating the reacted base film to obtain a composite nanofiltration membrane. The prior art uses a reverse interfacial polymerization reaction method or an additive-assisted interfacial polymerization reaction method to generate a polyamide active separation layer less than 50 nm on a hydrophobic PTFE / PVA nanofiber base film, and finally prepares a PTFE / PVA composite nanofiltration membrane.
[0005] CN114797504B discloses a preparation method of a sulfonated polyamide / hydrophobic polymer full-heat exchange composite membrane, which comprises: covering a hydrophobic polymer membrane on the surface of a multi-amine aqueous solution with a certain concentration, and injecting a multi-acyl chloride organic solution with a certain concentration above the polymer membrane. The multi-acyl chloride organic solution fully infiltrates the polymer membrane and diffuses to the other side of the polymer membrane, contacts the multi-amine aqueous solution and forms an immiscible interfacial layer, and the multi-amine and the multi-acyl chloride perform interfacial polycondensation to generate a dense thin layer of aromatic cross-linked polyamide at the interfacial layer, thereby obtaining a polyamide-hydrophobic polymer composite membrane. The composite membrane is applied to the field of heat exchange technology.
[0006] The membranes prepared in the prior art are all applied to specific fields, and are difficult to be applied to different fields, because the process technology in the prior art is difficult to prepare a multifunctional layer membrane, such as the preparation method of a sulfonated polyamide / hydrophobic polymer full heat exchange composite membrane disclosed in CN114797504B, in which a lower reaction container, an upper reaction container and a fixing clamp are used to fix the polyethylene porous membrane, so that although the reverse polymerization method is used, bubbles are generated during the addition of acyl chloride, and the bubbles are difficult to be discharged under the action of the reaction container, which inevitably causes the formation of a large amount of bubbles at the interface, which causes a large number of defects during film formation, resulting in a low water pressure through the membrane; in addition, the functional layer formed after most of the hydrophilic modification is very dense, which seriously affects the water transmission flux, resulting in a decrease in separation performance. Therefore, the process for preparing the membrane is particularly crucial for regulating the microtopography of the multifunctional layer membrane and then regulating the separation performance. If the process for preparing the membrane is improved, the prepared membrane can be applied to different fields, which can solve the single technical problem existing in the application of the membrane in the field.
[0007] Therefore, the prior art needs to be further improved. SUMMARY
[0008] One of the purposes of the present application is to provide a preparation method of a multifunctional membrane, which can be simultaneously applied to the fields of reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, permeation gasification and membrane distillation, especially in the field of membrane distillation, the anti-wetting performance is increased by about 1-2 orders of magnitude, which can greatly expand the treatment of low surface energy high salt and high organic solvent wastewater, and the dense layer has little effect on the permeation flux of the membrane, which can greatly improve and improve the vapor flux and efficiency of membrane distillation.
[0009] In order to achieve the above purpose, the following technical scheme is adopted in the present application:
[0010] A preparation method of a multifunctional membrane, wherein the multifunctional membrane refers to a membrane that can be simultaneously applied to the fields of reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, permeation gasification or membrane distillation;
[0011] The preparation method comprises:
[0012] Step one, respectively configuring an amine monomer solution with a mass fraction of 0.1% to 5% and an acyl chloride monomer solution with a mass fraction of 0.01% to 0.5%;
[0013] Step two, placing the prepared amine monomer solution in a container, bending one side of the hydrophobic membrane and slowly floating the bottom surface of the hydrophobic membrane on the surface of the amine monomer solution, and the floating environment provides an open environment system for the hydrophobic membrane; the acyl chloride monomer solution is placed in a rubber dropper;
[0014] Step three, starting from the edge of the top surface of the hydrophobic membrane, the acyl chloride monomer solution is added by using a rubber dropper;
[0015] The dropwise adding process is: dropwise adding along the edge of the top surface of the hydrophobic membrane, when a drop wets the hydrophobic membrane, then dropwise adding again along the wet area, and sequentially dropwise adding from outside to inside until the surface of the hydrophobic membrane is completely wetted and covers a certain volume of acyl chloride monomer; in the dropwise adding process, the hydrophobic membrane can remove the generated by-product gas under an open environment system;
[0016] Step four, under normal temperature conditions, the acyl chloride monomer and the amine monomer on the bottom surface of the hydrophobic membrane undergo a reverse polymerization reaction for 18-180 min, and after taking out and washing with water, the hydrophobic membrane is placed in an oven for drying, and a multifunctional membrane is obtained.
[0017] The preparation method of the multifunctional membrane, the acyl chloride monomer solution is a benzene tricarboxylic acid chloride or 2, 6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid chloride solution in n-hexane.
[0018] The preparation method of the multifunctional membrane, the amine monomer solution is m-phenylenediamine, polyethyleneimine, piperazine or dopamine.
[0019] The preparation method of the multifunctional membrane, the amine monomer solution is m-phenylenediamine.
[0020] The preparation method of the multifunctional membrane, the hydrophobic membrane is a PVDF flat membrane, a hollow fiber membrane, a PTFE flat membrane, a hydrophobic PE membrane or a hydrophobic PP membrane.
[0021] The preparation method of the multifunctional membrane, the hydrophobic membrane is a PTFE flat membrane.
[0022] The preparation method of the multifunctional membrane, the average molecular weight of the polyethyleneimine is 400-200,000.
[0023] An additive is added to the amine monomer solution, and the additive is a mixed solution of triethylamine and camphor sulfonic acid.
[0024] The purpose of the present application is to provide a multifunctional membrane prepared by the above preparation method.
[0025] A multifunctional membrane is prepared by the above preparation method, the multifunctional membrane has acid and alkali resistance, high temperature resistance and organic solvent resistance; the multifunctional membrane has a Janus composite structure with hydrophilic-hydrophobic.
[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0027] The application provides a preparation method of a multifunctional membrane, which directly floats the hydrophobic membrane on an amine monomer solution by using the performance of the hydrophobic membrane, and then combines a subsequent drop method to prepare the multifunctional membrane suitable for reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, permeation gasification or membrane distillation.
[0028] The multifunctional membrane prepared by the application is formed on one side and has a Janus composite structure of hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity.
[0029] In the preparation method, the reaction time is 18-170 min, which is much longer than the reaction time of 15 min in the prior art, and with the extension of the reaction time, the reaction in the multifunctional membrane can be carried out to form the dense sponge-like sealing agent semi-closed finger-shaped hole, which leads to the multifunctional use.
[0030] In the application, the hydrophobic membrane is directly floated on the amine monomer solution, which is different from the closed environment system formed by the reaction container and the fixed clamp in the prior art, and the hydrophobic membrane is exposed to the environment, which is equivalent to forming an open environment system. The main purpose of this setting is that the wetting performance of the hydrophobic membrane itself can form a solid-liquid interface on the water surface, and when the acyl chloride monomer solution is added dropwise on the hydrophobic membrane, the liquid droplets quickly spread around due to the low surface energy in the organic phase. In addition, because the hydrophobic membrane hole itself has a large amount of air, if the drop is added randomly, the air in the membrane cannot be discharged, which leads to the formation of a large number of bubbles at the interface, which leads to a large number of defects in the film formation. Therefore, in the open environment system, the hydrophobic membrane is slowly added drop by drop along the edge of the hydrophobic membrane, and then added again along the wetting area until the surface of the hydrophobic membrane is completely wetted and covered with a certain volume of acyl chloride monomer. In addition, the most important thing is that in the open environment system, when a large amount of hydrogen chloride by-product is produced, it can be well discharged and consumed to promote the reaction to continue, thereby obtaining the multifunctional layer of the application.
[0031] The application can well control the morphology change of the multifunctional separation membrane by adjusting the reaction time and the monomer concentration, and can form the morphology from the porous loose layer to the dense layer, and the thickness of the in-situ grown dense layer is controllable. It is found through relevant experiments that the multifunctional membrane of the application can be applied to the fields of reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, permeation gasification and membrane distillation, especially in the field of membrane distillation, the anti-wetting performance is improved by about 1-2 orders of magnitude, which can greatly expand the treatment of low surface energy, high salt and high organic solvent wastewater, and the dense layer has little effect on the permeation flux of the membrane, which can greatly improve the vapor flux and efficiency of the membrane distillation.
