Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of nanofiltration membrane separation technology, and in particular to a method for preparing and applying a positively charged nanofiltration membrane based on the Menshutkin reaction. Background Technology
[0002] With the shift to electric transportation, the increasing use of consumer electronics, the growing demand for renewable energy, and the positive drivers of carbon neutrality and peak carbon emissions, the demand for lithium-ion batteries is rapidly increasing, exacerbating the supply pressure on lithium resources. Salt lake brines account for approximately 70% of global lithium reserves, but the technical challenges of magnesium / lithium separation make their development difficult. Simultaneously, the rapid expansion of lithium battery applications generates a large number of waste batteries annually, posing the dual challenges of environmental pollution and resource depletion. The waste battery treatment process requires treating the cathode material with strong acid to obtain an acidic solution containing lithium ions and several divalent cations such as cobalt, manganese, and nickel.
[0003] Nanofiltration membranes can achieve efficient ion separation by synergistically combining the Donnan effect and size sieving. Their positive charge and suitable pore size are crucial for the separation of monovalent and divalent cations. Furthermore, the weakly alkaline nature of brine in salt lakes and the strong acidity of lithium-ion battery cathode material leachates place higher demands on the acid-base stability of nanofiltration membranes. Traditional polyamide nanofiltration membrane materials have a surface positive charge dependent on the protonation of amino groups, are highly susceptible to environmental acidity and alkalinity, and the residual acyl chloride groups are easily hydrolyzed, leading to a negative surface charge. Moreover, the amide groups are easily hydrolyzed in acidic or alkaline environments, causing structural damage. Therefore, their application in lithium extraction from salt lakes and the recycling of waste lithium-ion batteries is limited.
[0004] The Menshutkin reaction is a nucleophilic substitution reaction between tertiary amines and haloalkanes, which can generate quaternary ammonium salts. Interfacial polymerization based on the Menshutkin reaction can form a highly positively charged cross-linked network that does not contain easily hydrolyzable groups, and has great development potential in applications that achieve the separation of monovalent and divalent cations under acid and alkaline conditions. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a method for preparing polyquaternary ammonium nanofiltration membranes based on the Menshutkin reaction interfacial polymerization. The preparation method involves interfacial polymerization of tris(2-dimethylaminoethyl)amine and 1,3,5-tris(bromomethyl)benzene to obtain nanofiltration membranes that simultaneously possess high divalent cation rejection rate, high water permeation flux, and excellent stability under acidic and alkaline environments.
[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a method for preparing polyquaternary ammonium nanofiltration membranes based on the Menshutkin reaction interfacial polymerization. Sodium dodecyl sulfate is used as a surfactant, dissolved in a tris(2-dimethylaminoethyl) aqueous solution to obtain an aqueous monomer solution; a 1,3,5-tris(bromomethyl)phenyl-heptane solution is used as an oil-phase monomer solution. With the assistance of the surfactant, the aqueous and oil-phase monomers undergo a Menshutkin reaction at the oil-water interface, rapidly crosslinking to form a polymer network. This constructs an ultrathin polyquaternary ammonium separation layer on the surface of a polyacrylonitrile substrate, thereby preparing the polyquaternary ammonium nanofiltration membrane. The specific steps are as follows:
[0007] Step 1) Prepare a 2.5-10% tris(2-dimethylaminoethyl) / water solution. Add sodium dodecyl sulfate to the 2.5-10% tris(2-dimethylaminoethyl) / water solution at a mass fraction of 0.01%, and sonicate for 10-20 minutes to obtain an aqueous monomer solution.
[0008] Step 2) Prepare a 0.6% (w / w) 1,3,5-tris(bromomethyl)benzene / n-heptane solution, sonicate for 20-30 min to obtain an oil phase monomer solution;
[0009] Step 3) Fix the polyacrylonitrile membrane in a plastic mold, add the aqueous monomer solution prepared in step 1) to the mold, and seal the mold. The ratio of the amount of aqueous monomer solution to the exposed area of the membrane is 0.2 mL / cm². 2 After soaking and reacting for 30 minutes, the membrane was removed and the residual liquid on the membrane surface was removed.
[0010] Step 4) Fix the membrane treated in Step 3) in a plastic mold, add the oil phase monomer solution prepared in Step 2) into the mold, and seal the mold. The ratio of the amount of oil phase monomer solution to the exposed area of the membrane is 0.2 mL / cm². 2 After soaking and reacting for 4 hours, the membrane was removed, washed with n-heptane, and placed in an oven for thermal crosslinking reaction to obtain a polyquaternary ammonium nanofiltration membrane.
[0011] Furthermore, in the preparation method described in this invention, wherein:
[0012] In step 1), the mass fraction of the tris(2-dimethylaminoethyl) / water solution is 5%. The ultrasonic time is 10 min; in step 2), the ultrasonic time is 20 min.
[0013] In step 3), the molecular weight cutoff of the polyacrylonitrile substrate is 15 kDa.
[0014] In step 4), the oven temperature is 60℃ and the thermal crosslinking reaction time is 10min.
[0015] In steps 3) and 4), the soaking reaction temperature is 20–30°C.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:
[0017] In this invention, the preparation method uses tris(2-dimethylaminoethyl)amine, a tertiary amine monomer, as the aqueous phase monomer and 1,3,5-tris(bromomethyl)benzene as the oil phase monomer. A Menshutkin reaction is performed at the oil-water interface to generate quaternary ammonium groups. Both monomers have a tripod symmetrical structure, which easily crosslinks to form a dense polymer network containing sub-nanopores. The high-density surface positive charge and narrow pore size distribution fully utilize the Donnan effect and size sieving function to achieve efficient retention of divalent cations. Simultaneously, the ultrathin separation layer and strong hydrophilicity achieve high water permeability. Furthermore, the positive charge of the prepared polyquaternary ammonium nanofiltration membrane is independent of protonation, and its structure does not contain easily hydrolyzable groups, exhibiting high charge stability and structural stability under both acidic and alkaline environments. The prepared nanofiltration membrane is used in the lithium extraction from salt lakes and the recycling of waste lithium batteries, efficiently retaining divalent cations in the feed solution while allowing lithium ions to pass through, achieving efficient extraction and utilization of lithium resources. The materials used are readily available, and the preparation process is simple, facilitating industrial-scale production.

This includes using the polyquaternary ammonium nanofiltration membrane to perform nanofiltration treatment on pretreated clarified salt lake water to obtain a lithium ion solution, thereby achieving lithium extraction from the salt lake; and using the nanofiltration membrane to perform nanofiltration treatment on the leachate obtained after acid dissolution of waste lithium battery cathode material to obtain a lithium ion solution, thereby achieving efficient extraction and utilization of lithium resources.

[0029] The proposed method for preparing polyquaternary ammonium nanofiltration membranes based on the Menschutkin reaction involves a Menschutkin reaction between the tertiary amine groups of the aqueous monomer and the halogenated hydrocarbon at the oil-water interface, generating a polymer network rich in quaternary ammonium. Tris(2-dimethylaminoethyl)amine is used as the aqueous monomer, and 1,3,5-tris(bromomethyl)benzene is used as the oil monomer; both have a tripod symmetrical structure. An aqueous solution of tris(2-dimethylaminoethyl)amine is used as the aqueous monomer solution, and a solution of 1,3,5-tris(bromomethyl)benzene in n-heptane is used as the oil monomer solution. Sodium dodecyl sulfate is used as a surfactant. With the assistance of the surfactant, the aqueous and oil monomers undergo a Menschutkin reaction at the oil-water interface, rapidly crosslinking to form a polymer network.
