Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing a solvent-resistant nanofiltration membrane with a polydopamine / amino silica interlayer, belonging to the field of membrane separation technology. [Background Technology]
[0002] Solvent-resistant nanofiltration (OSN) has been used in various industries, such as food, petrochemicals, semiconductors, and especially pharmaceuticals. It is designed not only to separate active pharmaceutical ingredients with molecular weights ranging from 200 Da to 1000 Da from organic solvents, but also to recover valuable organic solvents used in pharmaceutical and chemical synthesis. Solvent-resistant nanofiltration membranes mainly consist of an ultrafiltration base membrane and a separation layer. The polyamide separation layer formed by traditional interfacial polymerization processes is relatively thick, which introduces significant mass transfer resistance during application and is easily peeled off in organic solvents. Therefore, the OSN membrane structure needs to be optimized to improve flux and stability.
[0003] The introduction of an interlayer can significantly affect the structure (thickness and density) of the polyamide separation layer. Polydopamine (PDA), as a functional organic material, exhibits significant advantages in interlayer preparation due to its unique biomimetic properties and chemical multifunctionality. Liu et al. used sodium percarbonate-assisted dopamine oxidative self-polymerization to form a polydopamine interlayer, preparing a highly permeable and selective thin-film composite polyamide nanofiltration membrane. The hydrophilic PDA interlayer can regulate the interfacial polymerization process by controlling the diffusion and storage of amine monomers, constructing a uniform, defect-free separation layer as thin as 8 nm [Journal of Membrane Science, 2025, 718: 123686]. Through oxidative self-polymerization, dopamine can form a uniform polydopamine coating on the base membrane surface. This coating is rich in catechol and amino active functional groups, which can significantly enhance the interfacial bonding strength between the interlayer and the separation layer through hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking effects, thereby effectively suppressing interlayer delamination. More importantly, the amphiphilic nature of the PDA coating allows for tunable surface energy, thereby optimizing permeability to polar solvents and enabling high-throughput transport. Furthermore, the abundant active sites on the PDA surface provide an ideal reaction platform for further functionalization modifications.
[0004] Constructing an inorganic-organic interlayer by blending hydrophilic nanoparticles with polymers can improve the hydrophilicity of the interlayer and increase the free volume of the polymer, thereby providing additional solvent transport channels and further enhancing flux. Among hydrophilic nanoparticles, silica exhibits typical characteristics such as high stability and simple synthesis routes, demonstrating multiple advantages in interlayer applications. Wang et al. modified poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide)-based membranes by using polydopamine-coated silica microspheres as an interlayer, and then prepared polyamide composite nanofiltration membranes through interfacial polymerization. Because both dopamine and silica contain a large number of hydroxyl groups, hydrogen bonding restricts the diffusion of aqueous monomers to the oil-water interface, resulting in a nanotube-like Turing structure on the nanofiltration membrane surface. Its pure water flux is three times that of traditional polyamide nanofiltration membranes [Separation and Purification Technology. 2022, 285: 120390].
[0005] Therefore, this patent leverages the hydrophilicity and adhesiveness of polydopamine to construct a solvent-resistant nanofiltration membrane by introducing amino silica nanoparticles into the polydopamine interlayer. The amino silica in the interlayer forms a well-ordered packing of pores, reducing solvent transport resistance and increasing flux. Simultaneously, its surface amino groups can participate in interfacial polymerization reactions to inhibit the peeling of the separation layer and enhance the bonding strength with the base membrane through hydrogen bonding. Furthermore, the rigid inorganic framework can increase the elastic modulus of the interlayer, suppressing membrane swelling and deformation in highly polar solvents such as methanol, thus enhancing stability. [Summary of the Invention]
