Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for preparing a nanofiber composite membrane for removing various pollutants in water, belonging to the fields of wastewater and sewage treatment and functional materials. Background Art

[0002] With the all-round development of industry and agriculture and the acceleration of the urbanization process, the components of pollutants in wastewater have gradually become more complex, the types of pollutants in water bodies have increased, posing a threat to the ecological system and increasing the treatment difficulty. Water pollution control has become an important research direction in the field of environmental protection. Among them, oily wastewater, as one of the main pollution sources, widely exists in industrial wastewater, domestic sewage and petrochemical emissions, seriously threatening the ecological system and human health.

[0003] Many treatment methods widely used for the separation of oil-water mixtures, including gravity separation, adsorption, flotation, biological treatment and electrochemical treatment, consume a large amount of energy during the separation process and have low separation efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for innovative and sustainable methods to address the ongoing challenges associated with the treatment of emulsified oil wastewater. Membrane separation technology is a process that utilizes the selective permeability of a membrane to achieve the separation, concentration or purification of different substances under the action of an external driving force. Its basic principle is based on effects such as molecular size, solution diffusion and electrostatic repulsion, enabling the target substance to selectively permeate or be retained, thereby achieving the separation purpose. Due to its advantages such as high efficiency, energy conservation and sustainability, membrane separation technology has been widely applied in fields such as wastewater treatment, seawater desalination and biopharmaceuticals. However, traditional membrane materials are prone to pollutant adsorption or deposition during long-term use, resulting in membrane fouling, reducing the service life and increasing the operating cost. Therefore, the development of environmentally friendly membrane materials with excellent anti-fouling performance has become the focus of current research.

[0004] Manufacturing thin films using electrospinning technology has many significant advantages. Electrospun nanofiber membranes are high-flux membranes at low pressure due to their fully interconnected pore structure; they are known for their high porosity and controllable pore size distribution from sub-micron to micron. In addition, electrospun nanofibers can be functionalized to improve separation performance. However, the irreversible fouling of electrospun filtration membranes made of traditional materials often clogs the pores and reduces the flux. Superhydrophilic membranes provide a promising approach to improving the efficiency of the oily wastewater purification process. Hydrogels have received extensive attention due to their unique three-dimensional network structure, high hydrophilicity, biocompatibility and environmental friendliness

[0005] Heavy metals in sewage mainly enter water bodies through forms such as human pollution, geological erosion, and weathering. They are not easily metabolized in the biological chain and are easily bioaccumulated, seriously threatening the survival of humans and aquatic organisms and being key factors in teratogenesis and carcinogenesis. Currently, the main methods for treating heavy metal ions in water are: chemical methods, biological methods, and physicochemical methods [China Resources Comprehensive Utilization, 2008, 26(2): 22 - 25], etc. Zhao Kongyin et al. used sodium alginate and carboxymethyl chitosan as the main raw materials, dissolved them together with polymers for assisting spinning, pore formers, and reinforcing agents in water to prepare a spinning solution. Electrospinning technology was used to obtain nanofibers, which were crosslinked and formed with calcium ions to obtain porous nanofibers for heavy metal ion extraction [ZL201610546869.5].

[0006] Organic waste is a major aspect causing water pollution. There are various types and complex components of sulfamethazine in water bodies, which pose great harm to the environment and human beings. Traditional wastewater treatment methods include physical adsorption, chemical methods, biological methods, electrochemistry methods, etc. However, the treatment of refractory organic wastewater is currently very difficult and can no longer meet the increasingly high environmental protection and process requirements. The advanced oxidation process based on persulfate (PS-AOPs) has received extensive attention from researchers due to its excellent oxidation efficiency. PS-AOPs activates persulfate through radical oxidation (such as SO4· - ) and non-radical oxidation (such as singlet oxygen and direct electron transfer), which can effectively destroy the structure of sulfamethazine. Due to the advanced oxidation process based on persulfate, its longer radical lifetime (30 - 40 μs), higher oxidation potential (2.5 - 3.1 V), and wider pH response range, it is regarded as a highly potential technology. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have the highest utilization efficiency for each metal atom and have excellent catalytic activity and selectivity in persulfate activation. Chen Min et al. first proposed a method for removing sulfamethazine by combining an alginate-based heterogeneous catalytic hydrogel membrane with cross-flow activation of peroxymonosulfate

The present invention uses non-woven fabric as the substrate and deposits a polymer nanofiber membrane on its surface as the support layer by electrospinning technology. The mixed aqueous solution of the co-spinning agent / sodium alginate / diammonium hydrogen phosphate is deposited on the surface of the polymer nanofiber membrane support layer by electrospinning technology to form nanofibers, and then cross-linked successively with aqueous solutions of calcium ions and cobalt ions to obtain a nanofiber composite membrane for removing multiple pollutants in water. The in-situ generated calcium phosphate improves the strength and anti-swelling performance of the hydrogel nanofibers. The nanofiber composite membrane obtained in the present invention has good hydrophilicity and anti-pollution performance. It intercepts and removes emulsified oil in sewage, adsorbs and removes heavy metal ions in sewage, and adds peroxides to the sewage.

Cobalt ions are loaded into the hydrogel nanofiber membrane through ion exchange and adsorption to obtain a nanofiber composite membrane for removing various pollutants in water, with a water contact angle of 1 - 10 degrees and good hydrophilicity; f) Prepare a mixture aqueous solution containing emulsified oil with a mass percentage concentration of 0.1% - 5%, heavy metal ions with a mass percentage concentration of 0.01% - 0.5%, and organic pollutants with a mass percentage concentration of 0.01% - 0.5% as complex sewage; g) Assemble the nanofiber composite membrane obtained in step e) into a cross-flow filtration device, with the rejection rate of emulsified oil in complex sewage reaching 70% - 99.9% and the flux reaching 1000 - 5000 L m -2 h -1 bar -1 , thereby efficiently removing emulsified oil from sewage; meanwhile, the adsorption and removal rate of heavy metal ions by the nanofiber composite membrane in the cross-flow filtration device reaches 70 - 96%. After eluting the heavy metal ions from the nanofiber composite membrane adsorbed with heavy metal ions with dilute hydrochloric acid, it can be cross-linked again with an aqueous calcium chloride solution and reused for the removal of emulsified oil and heavy metal ions; h) Add hydrogen peroxide to the complex sewage from which emulsified oil and heavy metal ions have been removed and mainly contains organic pollutants. Assemble the nanofiber composite membrane obtained in step e) into a cross-flow filtration device to filter the sewage. Hydrogen peroxide generates free radicals under the catalysis of cobalt ions in the nanofiber composite membrane to degrade the organic pollutants in the sewage, and the degradation rate of organic pollutants reaches 70% - 99.9% in 2 - 15 minutes.
