Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of forward osmosis membrane materials, and particularly to a forward osmosis membrane material capable of effectively improving internal concentration polarization and its application. Background Technique

[0002] In the field of membrane separation technology, forward osmosis (FO), as an emerging water treatment technology, has attracted much attention due to its low energy consumption, high water recovery rate, and high-efficiency interception ability for pollutants. However, forward osmosis membrane materials often face the problem of internal concentration polarization (ICP) in practical applications, which greatly limits their permeation flux and separation efficiency. Internal concentration polarization refers to the increase in osmotic pressure caused by the solute concentration gradient at the interface between the membrane and the support layer, resulting in the obstruction of the natural osmosis process of water molecules from the high-concentration solution to the low-concentration solution. Traditional forward osmosis membrane materials often consist of only a single membrane substrate and a selective layer. Such a structure is difficult to effectively cope with the challenges brought by internal concentration polarization. Although some forward osmosis membrane materials with multi-layer structures have been proposed, traditional inorganic filler or fiber fabric reinforcement methods often have problems such as poor binding with the membrane substrate and easy shedding, which affect the long-term stability and service life of the membrane. Forward osmosis membranes need to withstand a certain pressure difference and fluid shear force, so the membrane materials are required to have good mechanical properties. When treating complex environments such as industrial wastewater, the membrane materials need to have good chemical stability to resist the erosion of chemical substances such as acids, alkalis, and oxidants. However, existing forward osmosis membrane materials are prone to degradation or performance decline in these environments. Summary of the Invention
