Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of dialysis membranes, and particularly relates to an anionic electrodialysis membrane and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] An anion exchange membrane (AEM) is a semi-permeable membrane specifically designed to allow anions to pass through while blocking cations and non-ionic substances. This type of membrane is widely used in water treatment, resource recovery, chemical separation and other fields, especially playing an important role in the electrodialysis process.

[0003] There are indeed some technical challenges and problems with anion exchange membranes (AEMs) in the electrodialysis process, mainly including: 1. Low performance: Compared with proton exchange membrane electrolyzers, the performance of AEM electrolyzers is still relatively low. This is mainly reflected in the relatively high irreversible voltage loss, which is usually related to the electrode reaction kinetics and the transport of electrons, ions and gas-phase products during the electrolysis process. 2. Membrane stability issues: AEMs need to have good chemical and thermal stability to withstand the conditions during the electrodialysis process. However, in practical applications, the membrane may be affected by degradation, especially under higher temperature or extreme pH conditions. 3. Balance between selectivity and conductivity: An ideal AEM should have high ion selectivity and high conductivity. However, in practice, it is often difficult to achieve both. Increasing the selectivity of the membrane may reduce its conductivity, and vice versa. 3. Durability: Under long-term operation, the membrane may suffer physical damage or performance degradation due to pollutant accumulation, affecting the service life of the equipment.

[0004] To overcome these problems, the existing technology mainly adopts strategies in multiple aspects such as exploring new materials, improving the membrane structure design, and optimizing operating conditions. For example, developing new polymer materials, introducing nanotechnology to enhance the membrane performance, and reducing membrane fouling through pretreatment and cleaning techniques, aiming to improve the overall performance of AEMs and make them more suitable for large-scale industrial applications. However, the durability of the current electrodialysis membranes on the market still cannot meet the market demand.

[0005] Chinese Patent 202410287433.3 provides an anionic electrodialysis membrane, a preparation method thereof and an application, but the durability of the anionic electrodialysis membrane prepared by this method is not ideal.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0038] 1. By depositing modified carbon nanotubes on the surface of the polytetrafluoroethylene membrane, the present invention can improve the conductivity and tensile strength of the electrodialysis membrane. The modified carbon nanotubes have a better interfacial combination with other components in the system, and the uniform dispersion of the modified carbon nanotubes is achieved through mechanical stirring and ultrasonic dispersion. The subsequent suction filtration process enables the modified carbon nanotubes and polytetrafluoroethylene particles to be uniformly deposited on the surface of the PTFE membrane, and finally, these components are tightly combined through heat curing, thereby improving the overall tensile strength of the composite material.

[0039] 2. Through the polymerization reaction of specific monomers, a stable polymer network is formed on the surface of the polytetrafluoroethylene membrane modified by deposited carbon nanotubes.

[0089] Performance Test

[0090] Perform performance tests on the anionic electrodialysis membranes prepared in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-4.

[0091] 1. Tensile strength test: Use a CTM2050 automatic mechanical strength tester for testing. Cut the anionic electrodialysis membrane into small pieces of 2×10 cm 2 at a tensile speed of 2 mm / min. Terminate the test after the membrane breaks, record the tensile strength of the membrane, repeat the measurement 3 times, and take the average value.

[0092] 2. Surface resistance test: Before the test, immerse the anionic electrodialysis membrane in a 0.5 mol / L NaCl solution for 24 h; then cut it into 1×1 cm 2Small pieces were cut, the Ag / AgCl electrode was inserted into the electrolyte and placed close to both sides of the membrane, and connected to the working electrode and reference electrode of the electrochemical workstation respectively; the alternating current impedance method was selected for testing. The termination frequency was set to 1 Hz and the alternating current amplitude was set to 10 mV; then a 0.5 mol / L NaCl solution was circulated through the electrolytic cells on both sides.

[0093] 3.

In Comparative Example 1, modified carbon nanotubes were not deposited on the surface of the polytetrafluoroethylene membrane, and the surface resistance and tensile strength of the dialysis membrane decreased. In Comparative Example 2, the parameters of the carbon nanotubes were different, and the tensile strength decreased. In Comparative Example 3, the ratio of the anionic monofunctional monomer was different, and in Comparative Example 4, the ratio of the monofunctional nonionic monomer was different, resulting in a decrease in the durability of the anionic electrodialysis membrane. The above experimental results further prove the importance of the technical solutions defined in the present invention for its technical effects.
