[0027] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the composition of the tannic acid / zwitterionic diamine modified coating in this invention. Detailed Implementation
[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the concepts disclosed in the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] The present invention discloses a method for preparing a salt-separating ion exchange membrane for electrodialysis, comprising the following steps:
[0030] S1. Prepare a buffer solution with a pH of 6 to 10;
[0031] S2. Dissolve 0.01 to 0.6 parts of tannic acid and 0.01 to 0.8 parts of zwitterionic diamine monomer in the above buffer solution to obtain a buffer solution containing tannic acid and zwitterionic diamine monomer;
[0032] S3. Immerse the commercial cation exchange membrane in a buffer solution containing tannic acid and zwitterionic diamine monomer, and shake it at a constant speed in a water bath shaker at 0-60°C for 0.5-60 h; clean it with deionizer to obtain a salt-separating ion exchange membrane for electrodialysis, and store it for later use.
[0033] Preferably, the buffer solution in step (1) above includes at least one of N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)glycine (Bicine) buffer, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris) buffer, and phosphate buffer (PBS).
[0034] As a further preferred option, the pH of the buffer solution in step (1) above is 7 to 9.
[0035] Preferably, the buffer solution in step (2) above includes at least one of N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)glycine (Bicine) buffer, Tris (Tris) buffer, and phosphate buffer (PBS).
[0036] As a further preferred embodiment, the amount of buffer solution used in step (1) above is 100 parts by mass, the amount of tannic acid is 0.05 to 0.4 parts, and the amount of zwitterionic diamine monomer is 0.05 to 0.6 parts.
[0037] Preferably, in step (3) above, the temperature of the shaking water bath is 25–50°C, and the reaction time is 1–24 h. A higher water bath temperature will help accelerate the reaction rate of tannic acid and zwitterionic diamine monomer, but will increase energy consumption; a longer reaction time will help increase the deposition of tannic acid and zwitterionic diamine monomer on the cation membrane surface, but will increase time costs.

[0042]
[0043] The structural formula of N,N-bis(3-aminopropyl)methylaminopropanesulfonic acid (Z-DNMA) is as follows:
[0044]
[0045] The principle of this invention is as follows: Under neutral to weakly alkaline conditions, the numerous ortho-phenolic hydroxyl groups within the tannic acid molecule are oxidized to form an ortho-benzoquinone structure. Ortho-benzoquinone exhibits high chemical reactivity and readily undergoes Michael addition or Schiff base reactions with the amino groups in zwitterionic diamine monomers to form covalent bonds. This results in the formation of a uniform and stable tannic acid / diamine zwitterionic ultrathin coating on the surface of the cation exchange membrane substrate (see [link to tannic acid / zwitterionic diamine modified coating composition]). Figure 1 The positively charged functional groups in the zwitterionic structure can effectively repel divalent Mg. 2+ For monovalent Li + The impact is relatively small; meanwhile, the negatively charged functional groups in the zwitterionic structure can promote the growth of monovalent Li. + Transmembrane transport. Therefore, the modified cation exchange membrane exhibits good Li-related properties when applied in electrodialysis. + / Mg 2+ Selectivity. Therefore, this invention can effectively solve the problem of existing commercial cation exchange membranes for Li. + / Mg 2+ The problem of limited selectivity.

[0088] Comparative Example 1
[0089] Commercially available homogeneous cation exchange membranes, without tannic acid / zwitterionic diamine coating modification.
[0090] The modified cation exchange membranes prepared in Examples 1 to 7 were subjected to an electrodialysis lithium extraction experiment together with Comparative Example 1. The tests were carried out under the conditions shown in Table 1 below, and the results are shown in Table 2.
[0091] Table 1
[0092]
[0093] Table 2
[0094]
[0095] Compared to Comparative Example 1, the Li cation exchange membrane modified with tannic acid / zwitterionic diamine coating... + The flux decreased slightly, Li + / Mg 2+ Selectivity was significantly improved in both cases. The original homogeneous cation exchange membrane in Comparative Example 1, with its high negative charge density and abundant pore structure, exhibited the highest Li... + Flux, but it cannot effectively suppress divalent Mg 2+ The penetration is limited, therefore the selectivity is only 2.16. Li in Examples 1 and 2 + / Mg 2+ The selectivity was improved to 12.74 and 14.35, respectively. When N-N-bis(3-aminopropyl)methylamine propanesulfonic acid (Z-DNMA) or N-N-bis(3-aminopropyl)methylamine propanesulfonic acid (Z-DNMA) was introduced onto the surface of the cation exchange membrane, the positively charged quaternary ammonium groups in the zwitterionic structural units led to a significant increase in the positive charge density on the separation layer surface, and its interaction with divalent Mg 2+ There is a relative Li + A stronger electrostatic repulsion effectively inhibits Mg 2+ The transmission enables Li + / Mg 2+ Selectivity was significantly improved. Meanwhile, the introduction of the tannic acid / zwitterionic diamine ultrathin coating resulted in a denser separation layer surface, thereby enabling Li... + The flux has decreased.
[0096] Comparing Examples 2, 3, and 4 illustrates the effect of the amount of tannic acid and zwitterionic diamine, and the reaction time on Li + / Mg 2+ Selectivity has a significant impact. Insufficient amounts of tannic acid and zwitterionic diamine, along with a short reaction time, make it difficult to form a uniform and effective zwitterionic coating on the cation exchange membrane surface. This affects the density and uniform distribution of positively charged quaternary ammonium groups on the separation layer surface, which is detrimental to Li + / Mg 2+ Fully utilize selectivity.
[0097] Comparing Examples 5, 6, and 7, it is shown that the amounts of tannic acid and zwitterionic diamine, as well as the reaction conditions, affect the Li + Flux and Li + / Mg 2+ Selectivity has a significant impact; choosing appropriate reactant amounts and reaction conditions is beneficial for simultaneously achieving a large Li content. + Flux and high Li + / Mg 2+ Selectivity.
[0098] In terms of overall performance, Example 2 is more ideal and has the best Li + / Mg 2+ Selective, and retaining a considerable degree of Li + Flux.
[0099] This invention utilizes a Michael addition or Schiff base reaction between tannic acid molecules and zwitterionic diamine monomers under weakly alkaline conditions to form a uniform and stable ultrathin tannic acid / diamine zwitterionic coating on the surface of a conventional cation exchange membrane. This invention overcomes the limitations of existing commercially available cation exchange membranes and significantly improves the efficiency of Li... + / Mg 2+ Selectivity. The preparation process is simple, environmentally friendly, and widely applicable. The modified cation exchange membrane prepared by this invention exhibits excellent Li... + / Mg 2+ It is selective and can improve the membrane's antifouling properties, making it suitable for lithium extraction via electrodialysis from brines with a high magnesium-to-lithium ratio.
