Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to an inorganic hydrogel / polyvinylidene fluoride oil-water separation membrane and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, oil spills and a large amount of oily wastewater generated in the chemical industry pose a serious threat to human health and global water resources. Therefore, effective treatment of oily wastewater is of great significance for alleviating water resource shortage and achieving sustainable development. Traditional separation methods, such as gravity separation, flotation, coagulation and centrifugation, although widely used, have the disadvantages of low separation efficiency, high energy consumption and high cost. In recent years, membrane separation technology has attracted widespread attention due to its high separation efficiency, low energy consumption, relatively low cost and strong controllability. However, membrane fouling is inevitable during a long oil-water separation process. Therefore, it is a research focus to use hydrophilic functional materials to alleviate membrane fouling and achieve efficient oil-water separation.

[0003] At present, hydrogel modified materials are considered to be ideal modified materials due to their excellent hydrophilicity, especially inorganic hydrogel materials, which usually have excellent durability and can maintain their structural integrity and properties during oil-water separation. However, during long-term operation, membrane fouling is still inevitable due to the deformation and aggregation of oil droplets. Relying solely on hydrophilic modification cannot achieve long-term efficient operation, and even if simple hydraulic cleaning is used, oil droplets inside the membrane pores are difficult to remove.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to realize superhydrophilicity and catalytic cleaning functionalization to complete the long-term filtration treatment of oily wastewater. SUMMARY

[0060] Example 3

[0061] The concentration of the tannic acid solution in Example 1 was changed from 30 g / L to 90 g / L, while other process conditions remained the same as in Example 1, to obtain a PVDF / TA / Gel composite membrane (PVDF / T9 / Gel).

[0074] Application Example 1: Evaluation of the hydrophilicity of the membrane using contact angle testing.

[0075] The wettability of the membrane was tested using a water contact angle meter. The PVDF / TA / Gel composite membrane prepared in Example 2 and the untreated original PVDF membrane were placed on a contact angle measurement platform. Using a German KRUSS contact angle meter, a 2 μL drop of ultrapure water was slowly dropped onto the membrane sample surface through a needle. When the water droplet began to contact the membrane surface, the instrument recorded the static contact angle, i.e., the initial contact angle between the water droplet and the membrane surface. Subsequently, the change in contact angle over time was measured until the contact angle stabilized.

[0076] The water contact angle (WCA) diagrams of the PVDF / TA / Gel composite membrane prepared in Example 2 and the original PVDF membrane without any treatment are shown below. Figure 2 As shown in Figure a, where a is the original PVDF membrane and b is the PVDF / TA / Gel composite membrane. Figure a shows that water completely permeates the original PVDF membrane within 34.27 s, indicating a certain degree of hydrophilicity. Figure b shows that water droplets completely disappear and permeate into the PVDF / TA / Gel composite membrane within 1.50 s, indicating that the PVDF / TA / Gel composite membrane prepared in Example 2 has good hydrophilicity.

[0077] Application Example 2: Permeation flux and separation efficiency of different oil-in-water emulsions

[0078] At room temperature, the PVDF / TA / Gel composite membrane prepared in Example 2 was placed in a cross-flow filtration membrane module to filter oily wastewater (oil-in-water emulsion). The membrane module was fixed with screws, and a peristaltic pump (Baoding Reif BT100L) was used to deliver the oil-in-water emulsion to the membrane module for oil-water separation. The effluent from the membrane module was connected to the peristaltic pump for filtrate collection. The oil-in-water emulsion consisted of isooctane (2000 ppm), liquid paraffin (3500 ppm), soybean oil (4250 ppm), and hexadecane (1900 ppm). The concentration of surfactant added to the oil-in-water emulsion was 25 mg / L, and the pH of the oily wastewater was 7. After filtration for 1 hour, the filtration volume was recorded and the flux through the emulsion was calculated. The same operation was performed using the PVDF / TA / Gel composite membranes prepared in Examples 1 and 3, as well as the original PVDF membrane without any treatment.

[0079] The flux and separation efficiency of the PVDF / TA / Gel composite membrane prepared in Examples 1-3 and the original PVDF membrane without any treatment for separating oily wastewater are shown in the figure below. Figure 3 As shown, PVDF / T3 / Gel corresponds to Example 1, PVDF / T6 / Gel corresponds to Example 2, and PVDF / T9 / Gel corresponds to Example 3. The bar chart represents flux, and ○, □, △, and ☆ represent separation efficiency. Figure 3 It can be seen that the PVDF / TA / Gel composite membrane achieves a separation efficiency of over 98.5% for various oil-in-water emulsions, which is significantly better than the original PVDF membrane. This indicates that the membrane modified with TA and inorganic hydrogel effectively improves the flux and separation efficiency.

[0080] Application Example 3

[0081] A cyclic filtration experiment was conducted using the PVDF / TA / Gel composite membrane prepared in Example 2. At room temperature, the PVDF / TA / Gel composite membrane prepared in Example 2 was placed in a cross-flow filtration membrane module for oil-in-water emulsion separation. The oil-in-water emulsion used was isooctane (2000 ppm). First, deionized water was filtered for 10 min, and the filtrate volume was recorded. Then, the isooctane emulsion was filtered for 1 h, and the filtrate volume was recorded. After each cycle, the contaminated membrane was removed from the membrane module, rinsed with deionized water for 5 min, and then placed back into the membrane module for filtration for another 10 min. The filtrate volume was recorded, and the flux recovery rate was calculated. This cycle was repeated 7 times.

[0082] The flux recovery rate and separation efficiency of the PVDF / TA / Gel composite membrane prepared in Example 2 for the circulating filtration of water-in-water isooctane emulsion are shown in the figure below. Figure 4 As shown. By Figure 4It can be seen that the flux recovery rate can reach 90.6% after 7 cycles of filtration, indicating that the PVDF / TA / Gel membrane has good antifouling performance. However, with long-term oil-water separation filtration, the oil droplets inside the membrane pores cannot be removed by simple hydraulic cleaning, which leads to a decrease in flux recovery rate after the 7th cycle.

[0083] Application Example 4

[0084] Catalytic cleaning and regeneration experiments were conducted using the PVDF / TA / Gel composite membrane prepared in Example 2. At room temperature, the PVDF / TA / Gel composite membrane prepared in Example 2 was placed in a cross-flow filtration membrane module for oil-in-water emulsion separation. The oil-in-water emulsion used was isooctane (2000 ppm). First, deionized water was filtered for 10 min, and the filtrate volume was recorded. Then, the isooctane emulsion was filtered for 1 h, and the filtrate volume was recorded. After each cycle, the contaminated membrane was removed from the membrane module, soaked in a 0.25 mmol / L persulfate aqueous solution for 5 min, and then placed back into the membrane module for filtration for another 10 min. The filtrate volume was recorded, and the flux recovery rate was calculated. This cycle was repeated 7 times.

[0085] The flux recovery and separation efficiency of the PVDF / TA / Gel composite membrane prepared in Example 2 after circulating filtration and catalytic cleaning for separating water-in-water isooctane emulsion are shown in the figure below. Figure 5 As shown. By Figure 5 It is known that the flux recovery rate can reach as high as 98.6% after 7 cycles of filtration. This is because the iron in the inorganic hydrogel loaded on the surface of the PVDF / TA / Gel composite membrane reacts with persulfate, providing sufficient active sites. The resulting active substances effectively decompose oil droplets into water and carbon dioxide, making them easier to remove from the membrane pores. The PVDF / TA / Gel composite membrane prepared by this invention has good catalytic regeneration performance and is suitable for the stable separation of oil-water emulsions over long periods.

[0086] This invention prepares a PVDF / TA / Gel composite membrane with high oil-water separation efficiency via an immersion method. First, the PVDF membrane is modified with TA, and then two common inorganic salts, FeCl3·6H2O and (NH4)6Mo7O, are introduced. 24 Gelization with 4H2O yields a PVDF / TA / Gel composite membrane. The inorganic hydrogel / PVDF composite membrane prepared in this invention exhibits excellent hydrophilicity and underwater superoleophobicity, demonstrating good separation performance for simulated oily wastewater. Through the coupling of inorganic hydrogel superhydrophilic modification with persulfate catalytic cleaning, the contaminated membrane generates reactive oxygen species during catalysis to decompose oil on the membrane surface and inside the pores. This results in good regenerability of the cleaned membrane, extending its service life and demonstrating promising application prospects in oil-water separation.

[0087] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
