Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of separation membrane technology, specifically to a composite nanofiltration membrane based on rigid torsion phenolamine monomer, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, organic solvents are widely used in industries such as petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food processing, inevitably involving issues such as the separation, purification, concentration, and solvent recovery of small molecules in organic solvent systems. However, traditional separation techniques, such as distillation, rectification, and extraction, often suffer from problems such as large footprint, high energy consumption, complex operation, and potential damage to heat-sensitive substances. These problems not only increase production costs but also impose additional burdens on the environment.

[0003] In recent years, with the growing acceptance of green chemistry and sustainable development concepts, efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly separation technologies have become a research hotspot. Membrane separation technology, due to its unique advantages such as ease of operation, low energy consumption, no phase change, and environmental friendliness, has gradually become an important research direction in the field of organic solvent separation. Organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN), also known as solvent-resistant nanofiltration (SRNF), can effectively separate molecules with molecular weights between 200 and 1000 Da from organic solvents, providing a promising alternative for the separation and concentration of organic systems in industrial sectors.

[0004] The core of OSN technology is the OSN membrane. Currently, OSN membranes are mainly divided into two categories: one is the integral asymmetric membrane (ISA membrane), and the other is the thin-layer composite membrane (TFC membrane). Among them, ISA membranes are generally produced by phase inversion method, which has the characteristics of easy processing and industrial production. However, due to its thick and dense top skin layer, the permeation resistance is relatively large, which limits its further application. On the other hand, TFC membranes are generally synthesized in situ on top of a porous support layer or coated with a thin and dense separation layer. They have the characteristics of large-scale production, ultra-thin separation layer, and independent adjustment of separation layer and support layer. The high-performance TFC OSN membrane has become the academic frontier and research hotspot in related fields.

[0005] Membrane structure determines membrane performance, and optimizing the structure of the separation layer is of great significance for improving the separation performance of TFC OSN membranes. In recent years, as reported by Livingston et al. (Nature Material, 15(2016):760-767.), using the bisphenol molecule 9,9-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)fluorene (BHPF) with a Cardo overhang structure as an aqueous phase IP monomer significantly increased the free volume of polyarylate nanomembranes, resulting in a methanol permeation an order of magnitude higher than that of composite membranes prepared from planar monomers. Recently, Pang et al. (Journal of Membrane Science, 666(2023)121179.) selected DMF as an aqueous phase co-solvent to dissolve the insoluble diamine molecule 9,9-bis(4-aminophenyl)fluorine (BAF) for interfacial polymerization, preparing a membrane with high microporosity. This membrane had a methanol permeation of 23.88 LMH / bar, but a relatively large MWCO value (≈600 Da). Similarly, Zhu et al. (Journal of Membrane Science, 15(2016):760-767.) Science, 704(2024)122879 et al. used a multi-cycle molecular layer deposition (MLD) strategy to prepare microporous membranes with excellent solvent permeability and solute selectivity using BAF monomers. However, some problems still exist, especially the limited free volume of the selective layer formed by traditional monomers, which is relatively thick and dense, resulting in low or moderate solvent permeability.

[0006] Therefore, providing a composite nanofiltration membrane with excellent permeation selectivity and stability is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The present invention aims to provide a composite nanofiltration membrane based on rigid torsion phenolamine monomers to overcome the shortcomings of insufficient stability and low upper limit of permeation selectivity in existing organic solvent nanofiltration membranes.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A composite nanofiltration membrane based on rigid torsion phenolamine monomer includes a base membrane and a functional separation layer on the surface of the base membrane;

[0010] The functional separation layer is formed by cross-linking aqueous phase monomers and organic phase monomers;

[0011] The structural formula of the aqueous phase monomer is as follows:

[0012]

[0013] The organic phase monomer is a polyacyl chloride.

[0014] This invention uses polyacrylonitrile or polyimide ultrafiltration membranes as the base membrane. The membrane is first soaked in an aqueous solution containing a rigid torsion phenolamine monomer, then soaked in an organic solution containing polyacrylamide chlorides for interfacial polymerization, and finally subjected to thermal crosslinking post-treatment to obtain a composite nanofiltration membrane. This invention relates to a method for preparing a high-performance composite nanofiltration membrane, characterized by the introduction of large-size rigid torsion phenolamine monomers, which significantly improves the permeation selectivity of the resulting membrane material compared to polyester membranes with similar torsion skeleton structures. Simultaneously, it exhibits high stability in tests with various polar solvents, thus possessing high economic value in industrial processes involving molecular separation and solution concentration in organic solvent systems, particularly in the field of drug separation.

[0015] Preferably, the base membrane is a polyacrylonitrile or polyimide ultrafiltration membrane.

[0016] Preferably, the polyacrylamide chloride is at least one selected from pyromellitic chloride, isophthaloyl chloride, and terephthaloyl chloride.

[0017] Preferably, the crosslinking conditions are a reaction at 50-80°C for 2-10 minutes.

[0018] Preferably, the mass ratio of the aqueous monomer to the polyacrylamide chloride is 0.1-2:0.02-0.5.

[0019] The preparation method of the composite nanofiltration membrane based on rigid torsion phenolamine monomer described above includes the following steps:

[0020] The base membrane was sequentially immersed in an aqueous solution of the monomer and an organic solution of polyacrylamide chloride, and then heated to crosslink, thus obtaining a composite nanofiltration membrane based on a rigid torsion phenolamine monomer.

[0021] Preferably, all soakings are performed at room temperature.

[0022] Preferably, the concentration of the aqueous solution is 0.1-2 wt%, the pH of the aqueous solution is 9.0-13.0, and the soaking time in the aqueous solution is 1-2 min.

[0023] Preferably, the aqueous solution further includes an alkaline auxiliary agent, which is at least one selected from sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and triethylamine.

[0024] The concentration of the alkali auxiliary agent in the aqueous solution is 0.2-5 wt%.

[0025] Preferably, the concentration of the organic solution is 0.02-0.5 wt%, the soaking time in the organic solution is 15 s-10 min, and the solvent of the organic solution is at least one of n-hexane, isoalkanes, and toluene.

[0026] Preferably, the base membrane undergoes the following pretreatment steps: immersing the base membrane in deionized water for 4 hours, changing the water every hour to fully remove the pore-retaining agent from the membrane surface.

[0027] Applications of composite nanofiltration membranes as described above or composite nanofiltration membranes prepared by the methods described above in the separation and purification of organic solvent systems.

[0028] The composite nanofiltration membrane prepared by this invention has a high permeation flux (>17 LMH / bar) to organic solvents such as acetone and methanol, and can effectively retain dye molecules such as methyl orange, tetracycline, acid blue, orange yellow G, rhodamine B, acid red 27, and brilliant blue R. It can be fully applied to chemical processes such as the separation and concentration of active drugs and the recovery of homogeneous catalysts in organic solvent systems.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0030] This invention prepares composite nanofiltration membranes using interfacial polymerization, a method that offers advantages such as simple process, mild reaction conditions, and short film formation time. Specifically, the rigid-torsional phenolamine monomer possesses unique molecular structural characteristics; its rigid framework structure can form a polymer network with high microporosity, while the torsible nature of the molecule helps construct an ordered pore structure. Simultaneously, the monomer's large molecular size and ionization morphology effectively reduce the diffusion rate into the organic phase, facilitating the formation of an ultrathin and structurally regular separation layer.

[0031] Furthermore, based on the stable three-dimensional network structure formed by the rigid torsion phenolamine monomer and polyacrylamide chloride through a "4+3" crosslinking mode, the resulting membrane material exhibits excellent thermal stability and solvent resistance. Therefore, the composite nanofiltration membrane prepared in this invention maintains a high rejection rate for small molecule dyes while significantly improving its organic solvent flux compared to traditional polyamide membranes.

[0116] (2) Take out the polyacrylonitrile ultrafiltration membrane from step (1), wipe the water droplets remaining on the surface of the ultrafiltration membrane with lint-free paper, and immerse it in an aqueous solution of 5,5',6,6'-tetrahydroxy-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylspirodiindane (TTSBI) with a spirocyclic structure of bisphenol molecules at 25°C for 2 min. Take out the ultrafiltration membrane and remove the water droplets remaining on the membrane surface with a rubber roller for later use.

[0117] (3) At 25°C, the polyacrylonitrile ultrafiltration membrane treated in step (2) was immersed in a hexane solution with a pyromellitic chloride concentration of 0.1 wt% and reacted for 5 min.

[0118] (4) Place the filter membrane after the reaction in step (3) in an oven at 60°C and heat for 5 minutes to obtain a composite nanofiltration membrane based on rigid torsion phenolamine monomer.

[0119] The separation performance test of the prepared composite nanofiltration membrane showed that the methanol flux was 6.3 LMH / bar and the rejection rate of methyl orange (MW 327 Da) was 92.9%.

[0120] Comparing Example 6 with Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that under the same conditions, when monomer (II) is used to replace the bisphenol molecule TTSBI to prepare the composite nanofiltration membrane, its methanol flux is increased by nearly 3 times, while its retention of organic molecules is significantly improved. The retention rate of methyl orange (MW327 Da) increases from 92.9% to 96.2%, which fully demonstrates the great performance advantages of the monomer based on the rigid torsion spirodiinden structure as an interfacial polymerization monomer molecule for membrane preparation.

[0121] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
