Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of separation membranes, and particularly relates to an antifouling reverse osmosis membrane and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional polyamide reverse osmosis membranes suffer from a trade-off effect, hindering their further development. Therefore, developing novel reverse osmosis membranes is of great significance.

[0003] Patent CN 114452845 A discloses an antifouling reverse osmosis membrane, its preparation method, and its applications. This patent utilizes a polymerization reaction between polyvinyl alcohol and polyacrylamide chloride to form a loose network structure. This network structure serves two purposes: firstly, it acts as a water molecule channel, maintaining the water flux of the reverse osmosis membrane; secondly, during heat treatment, it acts as a template for cross-linking reactions, allowing the cross-linking growth direction to proceed perpendicular to the reverse osmosis membrane surface along the gaps in the network structure. This not only reduces the cross-linking density of polyvinyl alcohol and glutaraldehyde, further maintaining the water flux of the reverse osmosis membrane, but also increases the thickness of the antifouling layer, thereby improving antifouling performance. However, the performance improvement effect of reverse osmosis membrane modification based on cross-linking reactions is relatively limited. Exploring more effective reverse osmosis membrane modification methods has become a research hotspot in this field. Summary of the Invention

The reverse osmosis membrane provided by this invention comprises a nonwoven fabric layer, a porous support layer, and a modified polyamide separation layer in sequential contact; the modified polyamide separation layer is formed by interfacial polymerization of an aqueous solution and an oil solution on the porous support layer to form a polyamide separation layer, followed by coating with a modifying liquid; the aqueous solution contains polyamine monomers and aminated nano-SiO2, the oil solution contains polyacrylamide halide monomers, and the modifying liquid contains a covalent organic framework material made of 2,4,6-tris(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,5-triazine and 1,3,5-trialdehyde phloroglucinol.

[0080] Performance Evaluation

[0081] (a) Evaluation of basic diaphragm performance:

[0082] The reverse osmosis membranes obtained in the above embodiments and comparative examples were subjected to basic performance tests on a standard membrane test bench. The results are shown in Table 1:

[0083] Table 1. Test results of membrane flux and desalination rate.

[0084] Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 Comparative Example 1 Comparative Example 2 Comparative Example 3 Comparative Example 4 Flux F / GFD 36.5 38.4 36.9 32.5 34.8 37.1 36.2 35.2 Desalination rate R / % 99.76 99.81 99.78 99.79 99.71 99.70 99.72 99.75

[0085] in:

[0086] The formula for calculating flux F is as follows:

[0087] ;

[0088] V is the permeate volume, S is the effective membrane area, and t is time.

[0089] The formula for calculating the desalination rate R is as follows:

[0090] ;

[0091] This represents the NaCl concentration in the original solution. This represents the NaCl concentration in the permeate.

[0092] From the perspective of basic membrane performance, the changes in membrane flux in Examples 1, 2, and 3 are directly proportional to the amount of COFs and nano-SiO2 added; however, excessive amounts will actually decrease the flux. During the interfacial polymerization reaction, the MPD and TMC reactions generate heat and gas. At high concentrations, the large agglomeration of SiO2 nanoparticles hinders the release of heat and gas. On the other hand, high-load nanoparticles inhibit the diffusion rate of MPD into the oil phase solution. Both of these factors affect the formation rate and crosslinking degree of the polyamide functional layer. Secondly, large nodules form on the membrane surface, and the agglomeration of nanosheets increases the thickness of the separation layer. Comparative examples using unaminated nano-SiO2 and pure nano-SiO2 show that aminated nano-SiO2 is optimal for improving the performance of the reverse osmosis membrane. Furthermore, compared to the absence of COFs, the introduction of COFs improves membrane flux and desalination to a certain extent, resolving the trade-off effect.

[0093] (II) Evaluation of pollution prevention capabilities:

[0094] The membrane was tested using a 2000 mg / L NaCl aqueous solution and a 400 mg / L pollutant aqueous solution (bovine serum albumin, humic acid, etc.) at 15.5 bar pressure and 25 ± 0.4 °C. First, the membrane performance was stabilized by measuring the flux (J0) over 1 hour with 2000 mg / L NaCl as the test solution. Then, 400 mg / L of pollutant was added to 2000 mg / L NaCl, and the flux was measured over 8 hours under this test solution condition (Jt). The membrane was then washed three times with RO water for 15 minutes each time, and the recovery flux (Jwc) was measured. Finally, the permeance decline rate (PDR) and permeance recovery rate (PRR) were calculated. The PDR is the rate of permeation decline after continuous filtration of the wastewater solution, and the PRR is the rate of permeance recovery after physical washing. The calculation formulas are as follows:

[0095] ;

[0096] .

[0097] The experimental results are shown in Table 2:

[0098] Table 2. Test results of the antifouling ability of the diaphragm.

[0099] Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 Comparative Example 1 Comparative Example 2 Comparative Example 3 Comparative Example 4 PDR 21.4 20.6 23.8 24.6 25.6 25.9 26.4 22.7 PRR 39.4 50.6 46.4 48.9 47.4 36.8 35.4 33.3

[0100] As contaminants gradually accumulate, the transport resistance of the leachate gradually increases. Based on the above results, Example 2 exhibits the best performance. The antifouling ability is related to the steric hindrance of COFs; COFs can effectively reduce the accumulation of contaminants on the polyamide layer, and the flux of the COF-modified reverse osmosis membrane is improved to some extent. Furthermore, grafting functional monomers onto the composite membrane surface can effectively improve the hydrophilicity of the membrane surface, increase its smoothness, and increase steric hindrance, thereby enhancing the composite membrane's resistance to contaminants.

[0101] (III) Acid resistance test:

[0102] To verify the acid resistance of the membrane prepared in this invention, a hydrochloric acid solution with pH=2 was prepared, heated and maintained at 40±0.5℃, and the membrane was immersed for 24 hours. The membrane was then tested under conditions of 15.5 bar pressure, pH=7.5, and 25±0.4℃. The experimental results are shown in Table 3.

[0103] Table 3. Results of acid resistance test of the membrane.

[0104] Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 Comparative Example 1 Comparative Example 2 Comparative Example 3 Comparative Example 4 Initial flux F / GFD 36.5 38.4 36.9 32.5 34.8 37.1 36.2 35.2 Initial desalination rate R / % 99.76 99.81 99.78 99.79 99.71 99.70 99.72 99.75 Flux of F / GFD after acidification 30.1 33.2 29.8 23.5 26.4 28.8 26.5 28.4 Desalination rate R / % after acidification treatment 99.70 99.75 99.69 99.71 99.64 99.63 99.70 99.68

[0105] The results show that grafting negatively charged functional groups onto the membrane surface can increase the amount of negative charge on the membrane surface to a certain extent, thereby improving the retention rate of negatively charged pollutants and ions in the composite membrane. Furthermore, surface grafting modification can effectively improve the chlorine resistance of the composite membrane, allowing COFs to better bond with the polyamide layer. Due to its greater steric hindrance, it is less susceptible to attack by hydrated protons.

[0106] (iv) Antioxidant experiment:

[0107] The membrane was immersed in a 1000 mg / L HClO solution for 24 h and tested under the conditions of 15.5 bar pressure, pH=7.5, and 25±0.4℃. The experimental results are shown in Table 4.

[0108] Table 4. Results of the antioxidant capacity test of the membrane.

[0109] Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 Comparative Example 1 Comparative Example 2 Comparative Example 3 Comparative Example 4 Initial flux F / GFD 36.5 38.4 36.9 32.5 34.8 37.1 36.2 35.2 Initial desalination rate R / % 99.76 99.81 99.78 99.79 99.71 99.70 99.72 99.75 Flux of F / GFD after oxidation treatment 31.2 35.5 32.2 27.6 28.6 31.5 29.9 28.5 Desalination rate R / % after oxidation treatment 99.70 99.78 99.72 99.71 99.65 99.66 99.68 99.6

[0110] As shown in the above experiments, Example 2 exhibited the lowest flux and desalination decline after HClO immersion. This is because the COFs selected in this example have abundant NH groups, which can serve as sacrificial units against free chloride ion attack, significantly improving the antioxidant properties of the modified reverse osmosis membrane. Furthermore, modifying the polyamide composite membrane surface with nano-SiO2@COF enhances intermolecular hydrogen bonding, preventing the hydrolysis of amide groups and the attack of NH bonds by active chlorine. This demonstrates that the modification method of this invention can effectively improve the chlorine resistance of the membrane.

[0111] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
