Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of temperature-resistant membrane separation, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a temperature-resistant polyamide composite membrane, a temperature-resistant polyamide composite membrane and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Facing the diversification of water source environments and the complexity of application fields, the demand for membrane products suitable for high-temperature separation applications will be a key issue that cannot be avoided in the new stage of membrane material development and optimization. As the current mainstream water treatment membrane products, the working temperature of polyamide membranes is generally below 45°C. A few high-temperature resistant membrane products are only suitable for short-term high temperatures. Membrane materials for continuous high-temperature operation are prone to swelling and failure, directly leading to a decline in membrane separation performance. High-temperature water treatment requires additional cooling process flows, which will inevitably bring high energy consumption and high economic cost problems to the entire separation process.

[0003] The limited rigid structure in the polyamide molecular chain is difficult to completely restrict the high-temperature movement of molecular segments. High-temperature environments will cause irreversible structural changes such as an increase in free volume and bond breakage. Current research focuses more on designing and synthesizing new separation layers, enhancing interfacial reactions, regulating interfacial polymerization conditions, etc. However, the rigid monomers involved in the new separation layer are lacking, the selection range is narrow, and the synthesis is cumbersome and costly. It is difficult to enhance and regulate interfacial polymerization, and the water flux of the temperature-resistant membrane is not ideal. On the premise of not overly sacrificing membrane separation performance, there is still a lack of effective implementation means to improve the temperature resistance of existing polyamide membrane processes. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a temperature-resistant polyamide membrane material with good desalination performance and thermal stability.

[0004] CN113522063A discloses a nanofiltration membrane for treating printing and dyeing wastewater and a preparation method thereof; the preparation method includes: pouring an organic solution containing trimesoyl chloride and an interfacial auxiliary polymerization agent onto the surface of the membrane, reacting for 5 to 20 s, and then removing the excess solution on the surface; the interfacial auxiliary polymerization agent is selected from acetone or acetate, and the acetate is selected from any one of ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, butyl acetate, amyl acetate, heptyl acetate and n-octyl acetate. It selects two specific interfacial auxiliary polymerization agents, acetone and acetate, which reduce the interfacial tension of the organic phase and can improve the water flux to a certain extent, but the improvement of the temperature resistance effect of the membrane is not significant.

[0005] CN117679969A discloses a composite forward osmosis membrane with hydroxide ion exchange and transport function, its preparation method and application. The preparation method of the composite forward osmosis membrane includes: First, dissolve a polymer in organic solvent I to form a casting solution, and prepare a support base membrane I by the phase inversion method. Then, soak the support base membrane I in an aqueous solution and an oil-phase solution I in sequence, and an interfacial polymerization reaction occurs on the surface of the support base membrane I to form a desalination layer. The oil-phase solution I is formed by dissolving an auxiliary filler and an oil-phase monomer in organic solvent II; wherein the auxiliary filler can be a self-integrated microporous polymer or a Base polymer, etc. However, since the selected solvent contains dichloromethane and chloroform, which are good solvents for the auxiliary filler, but solvents such as dichloromethane are unfavorable to common base membranes of polysulfone and polyethersulfone, which will cause structural damage and even etching, resulting in poor bearing capacity of the base membrane.

[0006] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a polyamide composite membrane that simultaneously has excellent high-temperature desalination performance and good long-term thermal stability.

First, the rigid polymer guest is dispersed in the auxiliary solvent and then dispersed in the organic solvent containing polyacyl chloride, that is, the auxiliary dissolution method is adopted, which has multiple functions. On the one hand, it can accelerate the diffusion of the aqueous phase monomer into the organic phase, making the cross-linking of the separation layer more sufficient, thereby improving the water flux of the membrane; on the other hand, it can uniformly introduce the rigid polymer guest into the membrane to construct a composite temperature-resistant separation layer.

[0128] Test Example 1

[0129] Test samples: the temperature-resistant polyamide composite membranes provided in Examples 1-7 and the polyamide composite membranes provided in Comparative Examples 1-3.

[0130] Test method: The desalination rate and permeation flux of the membrane were measured by a cross-flow nanofiltration performance test device, and the working pressure was set at 5.6 MPa and the sodium chloride aqueous solution system was 32 g / L.

[0131] The test results are as shown in Table 1 below and Figure 4 as shown (" / " represents that this test was not carried out):

[0132] Table 1

[0133]

[0134] From Table 1 and Figure 4 the results, it can be seen that the temperature-resistant polyamide composite membrane (P-PA Membrane) prepared by the present invention exhibits excellent high-temperature stability. It can still maintain good desalination ability after stable operation at 70 °C for 30 days. Its water flux decline rate is less than 10%, and the desalination rate attenuation rate is lower than 5%. However, the polyamide membrane prepared with pure ethyl acetate (E-PA Membrane) and the polyamide membrane prepared by the traditional method (PA Membrane) both show an obvious downward trend in performance during long-term operation. This phenomenon benefits from the excellent temperature-resistant composite active layer. On the one hand, the rigid polymer restricts the high-temperature movement of polyamide molecular chains, reduces the change in free volume, and increases its thermal stability; on the other hand, the use of ethyl acetate not only facilitates the uniform introduction of polymer guests but also regulates interfacial polymerization to achieve the purpose of improving the water flux of the membrane. Above all, it proves that the temperature-resistant polyamide composite separation membrane in the present invention has good desalination performance and excellent high-temperature stability performance.

[0135] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, not to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
