Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water treatment, and in particular to a polyethersulfone self-supporting ultrafiltration membrane resistant to biological contamination, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Membrane separation technology is a technique that uses the selective permeation principle of a membrane to separate one or more components from a mixture. This technology offers advantages such as high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and ease of operation, leading to its widespread application in water treatment, food and drug processing, biopharmaceuticals, and chemical engineering.

[0003] Membrane materials are the core component of membrane separation technology. Due to the inherent properties of membrane materials, microparticles, colloids, solute macromolecules, and biomacromolecules in the material passing through the membrane can be adsorbed and deposited on the membrane surface or within the membrane pores, causing the membrane pore size to decrease or become clogged. This ultimately leads to irreversible changes in the membrane's permeability and separation characteristics, affecting the efficiency and service life of the separation membrane. Among these factors, the adsorption of organic matter on the membrane surface is often the primary factor affecting membrane performance.

[0004] Research has confirmed that there is a positive correlation between membrane surface hydrophilicity and its resistance to organic fouling. The stronger the membrane surface hydrophilicity, the less organic matter adheres to the membrane surface. Therefore, improving membrane surface hydrophilicity is an important measure to mitigate membrane fouling.

[0005] Currently, effective strategies for improving the hydrophilicity of membrane surfaces mainly include membrane blending modification and surface modification. Blending modification involves blending nanoparticles, small molecules, or hydrophilic polymers with the membrane matrix to form a casting solution. The presence of hydrophilic fillers increases the hydrophilicity of the membrane surface, effectively improving the membrane's resistance to fouling. Blending modification offers the advantages of simplicity and low cost, but also has disadvantages such as poor compatibility with the polymer matrix, uneven dispersion, and easy loss. One method of membrane surface modification involves coating a hydrophilic material onto the membrane surface using van der Waals or electrostatic forces between the hydrophilic material and the membrane surface. This method is simple to operate, involves no chemical reaction, and is relatively low in cost. However, due to the weak interaction between the coating and the membrane surface, the hydrophilic functional layer can fall off during use, resulting in a problem with the membrane's surface hydrophilicity not being long-lasting. Surface chemical grafting modification is a reliable method for membrane surface treatment. Since the hydrophilic material is attached to the membrane surface via covalent bonds, the membrane's hydrophilic properties are effectively maintained during use. Generally, the process of this method is relatively cumbersome and in some cases may damage the intrinsic structure of the membrane, thereby affecting the mechanical properties of the membrane.

[0006] Cellulose is a natural polymer material with abundant resources and is biodegradable. After removing the amorphous region of cellulose, highly crystalline nanocellulose (CNC) is obtained. In recent years, with the development of degradable polymer composites, nanocellulose has attracted great attention. The inherent renewability, sustainability and environmental protection properties of CNC make it an ideal choice for the preparation of separation membranes. The surface of CNC has abundant hydroxyl groups (-OH) and is a highly hydrophilic material. Metal ions Ag + and Cu 2+ It has antibacterial properties and is widely used in the research of antibacterial membrane preparation. However, there is no effective way in the existing technology to combine hydrophilic materials and antibacterial ions on the surface and pores of self-supporting ultrafiltration membranes.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a polyethersulfone self-supporting ultrafiltration membrane that can combine hydrophilic materials and antibacterial ions on the membrane surface and membrane pores to achieve excellent anti-fouling and hydrophilic properties and resist biofouling. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Purpose of the invention: In view of the defects of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a polyethersulfone self-supporting ultrafiltration membrane that can act on the surface and pores of the membrane material with hydrophilic materials and antibacterial ions, thereby having excellent anti-fouling and hydrophilic properties and anti-biological contamination resistance, as well as its preparation method and application.

[0009] Technical solution:

[0010] On one hand, the present invention provides a polyethersulfone self-supporting ultrafiltration membrane resistant to biological contamination. The ultrafiltration membrane is prepared by fixing cellulose nanocrystals and antibacterial ions on the surface and in the membrane pores of the polyethersulfone membrane through polyphenol monomers.

[0011] In the present invention, the introduction of polyphenol monomers not only plays a role in immobilizing cellulose nanocrystals on the membrane surface and in the membrane pores, but also provides anchoring points for antibacterial nanomaterials, thus giving the polyethersulfone membrane excellent antibacterial properties.

[0012] Furthermore, the pore size of the ultrafiltration membrane is 30-100 nm, and the water contact angle is 25-40°.

[0013] The biofouling-resistant polyethersulfone self-supporting ultrafiltration membrane provided by the present invention has excellent hydrophilicity and can be used to effectively treat water or biological materials.

[0014] Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing any one of the above-mentioned anti-biofouling polyethersulfone self-supporting ultrafiltration membranes, comprising the following steps:

After suction filtration through the polyethersulfone primary ultrafiltration membrane of step (2), polyphenol monomers are weighed in a buffer solution of pH 8-9, and the solution is placed on the surface of the polyethersulfone membrane after suction filtration. At the same time, an inorganic salt and an oxidant are added. After contact, the solution is removed, and the polyethersulfone membrane is washed with pure water to obtain the polyethersulfone self-supporting ultrafiltration membrane resistant to biological contamination.

[0018] Furthermore, the raw material of the cellulose pulp board in step (1) is selected from at least one of wood, cotton, wheat straw, flax or waste paper;

[0019] The inorganic strong acid is selected from at least one of sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid aqueous solution, and the inorganic strong base is selected from at least one of lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide aqueous solution, and the concentration of the inorganic strong acid and the inorganic strong base is 5-15 mol / L;

[0024] Furthermore, the solvent for the polyethersulfone resin in step (2) is a highly polar aprotic solvent;

[0025] The porogen is selected from at least one of acetone, ethanol, isopropanol, acetic acid, sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, calcium carbonate, sodium lauryl sulfate, polylactic acid or polycaprolactone;

[0026] The coagulation bath is carried out in pure water at 25-40°C.

[0027] For example, the highly polar aprotic solvent may be at least one of N-methylpyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, or dimethyl sulfoxide.

[0028] Furthermore, based on the total mass fraction being 100%, the mass percentage of each component in the uniform casting solution in step (2) is:

[0029] Polyethersulfone resin 15-25%

[0031] The balance is solvent.

[0032] For example, the mass percentage of the polyethersulfone resin in the uniform casting solution may be 15%, 17.5%, 20%, 22.5%, or 25%;

[0033] The mass percentage of the porogen can be 1%, 3%, 5%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 15%, 18%, or 20%.

[0034] Furthermore, the concentration of the cellulose nanocrystal aqueous solution in step (3) is 0.05-0.3 g / L;

[0035] The polyphenol monomer is selected from at least one compound containing a catechol structure, the inorganic salt is selected from one of silver nitrate and copper sulfate, and the oxidant is selected from at least one of NaBH4 and hydrogen peroxide;

[0037] For example, the amount of polyphenol monomer added to the buffer solution can be 1 g / L, 2 g / L, 3 g / L, 4 g / L, or 5 g / L;
