Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of separation membranes, and in particular relates to a high-flux and high-retention composite nanofiltration membrane and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As the global water crisis becomes increasingly severe, the development of innovative water treatment technologies has become an urgent need. Among numerous desalination processes, nanofiltration technology has become a research focus due to its unique advantages. This technology can efficiently intercept harmful substances such as heavy metal ions and organic micropollutants with low energy consumption, significantly improving water purification efficiency. However, traditional nanofiltration membranes generally face a "selectivity-flux" performance paradox: increasing pollutant retention often leads to a significant decrease in water flux. This paradox severely restricts their potential for industrial application.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN117599610A discloses a chemically resistant polyphenylene sulfone nanofiltration membrane and its preparation method. The method involves introducing chemically stable organosilicon into biphenyl molecular chains, polymerizing them with diphenyl sulfone to form thermally stable polyphenylene sulfone. The introduced sulfonic acid groups then interact electrostatically with the amino groups of aminated graphene to form a cross-linked network system, resulting in a chemically resistant polyphenylene sulfone nanofiltration membrane. While this method improves the chemical resistance of the nanofiltration membrane, its synthesis process is complex and time-consuming, and the basic filtration performance of the resulting nanofiltration membrane has not been characterized.

The porous structure of the base membrane surface and the amino-modified silica nanoparticles form a rough micro-nano structure, which further improves the pure water flux of the membrane.

[0081] Example 13: Performance Evaluation

[0082] Comparison of the flux and retention performance of the composite nanofiltration membranes prepared under different front coating times in Examples 9-12 when adding 1000ppm Na2SO4 solution. The experimental results are as follows: Figure 2 shown.

[0083] Depend on Figure 2 It can be seen that with the increase of the front coating time, the retention performance of the composite nanofiltration membrane is greatly improved, but the pure water flux is sacrificed. Taking all factors into consideration, when the coating time is 2 minutes or 4 minutes, it can simultaneously meet the requirements of high flux and high retention performance of the composite nanofiltration membrane.

[0084] Example 14: Preparation method as control example 1 As a comparative example 1, a method for preparing a high-flux and high-retention composite nanofiltration membrane is prepared by the following steps: 1) Add 1.2 wt % sulfonated polysulfone to ethylene glycol methyl ether and stir magnetically at room temperature for 4 h until uniformly dissolved to prepare 50 g of precursor solution.

Excess precursor solution is removed, and the membrane is dried at 120°C to obtain a high-flux, high-retention composite nanofiltration membrane, which is then stored in water.

[0087] The flux and retention performance of the composite nanofiltration membranes prepared in Example 9 and Comparative Example 1 when 1000 ppm Na2SO4 solution was added were compared. The experimental results are shown in the following table:

[0088] As can be seen from the table above, the flux of the composite nanofiltration membrane with amino-modified silica nanoparticles increased from 36.73 L·m -2 ·h -1 Increased to 49.22 L·m -2 ·h -1 However, the retention performance decreased slightly, by only 1.57%. The addition of amino-modified silica nanoparticles increased the membrane surface roughness and the specific surface area. Furthermore, the amino-modified silica nanoparticles have good hydrophilicity, further improving the permeability of the composite nanofiltration membrane. However, a certain amount of amino-modified silica nanoparticles can make the nanofiltration membrane loose, resulting in a slight decrease in retention performance.
