Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a high-performance membrane for alcohol-water separation, belonging to the field of separation membrane preparation technology. This modified membrane has high pure water flux and good ethanol separation effect, and is suitable for alcohol-water separation and other fields. Background Technology

[0002] Pervaporation membrane separation technology, as a novel membrane separation process, has demonstrated significant application value in the field of liquid mixture separation due to its advantages such as low energy consumption, environmental friendliness, and high separation efficiency. This technology achieves molecular-level separation through the selective permeation and vaporization of membrane materials, and is particularly suitable for systems that are difficult to handle using traditional distillation processes, such as azeotropics, near-boiling substances, and heat-sensitive materials.

[0003] In the field of alcohol-water separation, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted much attention due to their tunable pore structure and surface properties. Among them, ZIF-L materials have the following characteristics: (1) unique two-dimensional leaf-like morphology and semi-SOD topology; (2) regular pore size of 3.4 Å, which is between the dynamic diameter of water molecules (2.68 Å) and ethanol molecules (4.5 Å), and can produce a precise molecular sieving effect; (3) the anisotropic structure provides a fast transport channel for water molecules.

[0004] However, the preparation of ZIF-L films in the prior art has the following technical bottlenecks: the crystal growth is disordered and uncontrollable, easily forming a disordered structure, and it is impossible to achieve directional horizontal growth; the material has insufficient hydrophilicity, affecting the water molecule transport efficiency. Studies have shown that the natural growth of ZIF-L crystals tends to be vertically oriented, which is because: (1) the growth rate of crystals in the vertical direction is significantly higher than that in the horizontal direction; (2) the aspect ratio of vertically oriented crystals is more conducive to reducing the surface energy of the system. This growth characteristic makes it difficult to obtain a horizontally oriented continuous ZIF-L separation layer by traditional methods. For example, the ZIF-L layer prepared in the prior art CN202310934028.1, although it satisfies the directional growth, has a vertical orientation, and the vertical ZIF-L has a poor sieving effect on ethanol and water. Because ZIF-L has a crystal structure similar to ZIF-8, Figure 2 The hexagonal window-like pore size (∼0.34 nm) and very small quaternary windows on the horizontally oriented plane are shown, located between the kinetic diameters of water (2.68 Å) and ethanol (4.5 Å). Therefore, dispersing ZIF-L parallel to the membrane surface will show a significant sieving effect on water / ethanol mixtures. Figure 3 The diagram shows the principle of how PEI solution causes ZIF-L to be horizontally oriented.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention innovatively employs polyethyleneimine (PEI) as a regulating agent. Through multiple interactions (including hydrogen bonds and Zn-N coordination bonds) between PEI and the ZIF-L crystal surface, a horizontally oriented arrangement of the ZIF-L crystals is achieved, opening up the internal pores and significantly enhancing the material's hydrophilicity. This horizontally oriented ZIF-L layer can fully utilize its 3.4 Å pore size for molecular sieving, providing a new technical solution for developing high-performance alcohol-water separation membranes. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the current situation where membrane flux and separation factor are not balanced, thus failing to adequately meet membrane separation requirements. This invention provides a high-performance pervaporation membrane for alcohol-water separation. The high-performance pervaporation membrane prepared by this method has advantages such as high flux and good separation factor, is suitable for membrane separation processes, and can ensure excellent separation performance and long-term stable operation. To achieve the above objective, the technical solution adopted in this invention is: a horizontally oriented ZIF-L composite membrane and its preparation method, the specific steps of which are as follows:

[0007] (1) Synthesis of leaf-shaped ZIF-L: metal nitrate hexahydrate and dimethylimidazole were dissolved in water at a mass ratio of 20-50% at room temperature. The dimethylimidazole solution was quickly poured into the nitrate hexahydrate and stirred for 2-4 hours. After centrifugation three times (6000-8000r / 20min), the mixture was washed and dried at 60°C for 5-8 hours. The ZIF-L powder was then obtained by grinding.

[0008] (2) Preparation of oriented ZIF-L seed layer: Dissolve the ZIF-L powder prepared in (1) in 0.01~1wt% PEI solution, disperse it by ultrasonication and filter it onto PAN base film, then immerse it in ZIF-L synthesis solution, grow it at a suitable temperature for 20-40 min, wash it and dry it at 60℃ for 4-6 h;

[0009] (3) Secondary growth of the separation layer: The membrane obtained in (2) is immersed again in the ZIF-L synthesis solution with different metal sources and grown at a suitable temperature for 10-30 min. After washing and drying, the final composite membrane is obtained.

[0010] The preferred metal source for synthesizing ZIF-L in step (1) is one of cobalt nitrate hexahydrate, zinc nitrate hexahydrate, or a mixture of cobalt and zinc crystals.

[0011] In preferred step (2), the amount of ZIF-L powder added is 0.1~4 wt% of the water mass.

[0012] The preferred step (3) is the secondary growth of the separation layer: the metal ions in the ZIF-L synthesis solution are either Zn ions or Co ions.

[0013] This invention improves upon the irregular and disordered ZIF-L structures prepared in previous experiments by using a secondary growth method to prepare continuously oriented ZIF-L layers. This study uses a PEI solution as a binder. By controlling the orientation of the seed layer, micron-sized ZIF-L nanosheets with PEI as the binder are deposited, followed by a short secondary growth process to form a horizontally oriented layer. When the ZIF-L crystal suspension is vacuum filtered, a normal force acts on the ZIF-L crystals near the support, i.e., resistance under vacuum. This resistance causes the solution to transport to the support and deposit the ZIF-L crystals on the surface. A large number of ZIF-L particles are well dispersed in the PEI matrix. PEI can form hydrogen bonds with the free hydroxyl groups on the ZIF-L crystals and support surface, and can also form Zn-N coordination bonds with zinc cations on the crystal surface. Therefore, adding PEI to the seed solution is crucial for ensuring the seed crystals adhere firmly to the support surface, improving the distribution of ZIF-L materials in the membrane, enabling them to align horizontally, resulting in excellent targeted separation, and greatly enhancing the membrane's selectivity. This is key to ensuring the horizontal growth of the seed crystals. Furthermore, by changing the metal source in the growth solution, a heterogeneous ZIF-L membrane (Zn / Co) was prepared, significantly increasing the membrane permeation flux.

[0014] Beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. Structural innovation

[0016] The horizontal oriented alignment of ZIF-L crystals was achieved through PEI induction, solving the technical challenge of disordered crystal growth (vertical orientation) in traditional methods. This constructed a continuous and ordered molecular transport channel, maximizing the sieving effect of the 3.4 Å pore size and significantly improving separation performance. The preparation of a ZIF-L heterostructure membrane also substantially improved the poor hydrophilicity of pure ZIF-L (Zn) membranes and the poor stability of pure ZIF-L (Co) membranes. The alcohol-water separation performance was: pure water flux ≥ 4000 g·m⁻²·h⁻¹, separation factor ≥ 2100.

[0017] 2. Functionality of processes and materials

[0018] The innovative "in-situ seed growth + secondary growth" process: the first growth ensures the horizontal orientation of the crystal, and the second growth optimizes the integrity of the separation layer; crystal orientation is achieved through the synergistic effect of PEI hydrogen bonding and Zn-N coordination, Zn 2+ With Co 2+ The heterogeneous interaction enhances the hydrophilicity of the membrane surface and improves structural stability.
