Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of membrane preparation, and particularly relates to a polyamide-Schiff base double-network structure acid-resistant nanofiltration membrane and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Nanofiltration membrane technology has become a core separation method in the fields of wastewater treatment, biological medicine and resource recovery due to its efficient separation characteristics and low energy consumption advantages. With the development of emerging fields such as battery manufacturing and metal pickling wastewater treatment, it is an urgent need to develop nanofiltration membranes with high acid resistance, stable separation performance and long-term service performance.

[0003] Traditional polyamide nanofiltration membranes are formed by interfacial polymerization of piperazine (PIP) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) on a polysulfone or polyethersulfone-based membrane to form a cross-linked network, which has excellent divalent ion rejection characteristics. However, in an extremely acidic environment, such membranes face serious chemical stability problems, leading to a sharp decline in performance. The irreversible hydrolysis of amide bonds (-CO-NH-) under hydrogen ion catalysis not only leads to the disintegration of the membrane structure, but also causes the surface charge to reverse, resulting in a sharp decrease in cation rejection rate. For example, the preparation method of a blended polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane in patent application CN 110449040A includes monomeric piperazine, m-xylylenediamine or m-phenylenediamine in an aqueous solution, which compensates for the possible defects of a single monomer in the membrane formation process by blending two aqueous-phase monomers, and then using an interfacial polymerization method to make the two immiscible aqueous and oil phases react on the membrane surface to generate a membrane layer. The nanofiltration composite membrane made by this method has superior performance and better chlorine resistance than the nanofiltration membrane generated by interfacial polymerization of a single aqueous-phase monomer and an oil-phase monomer, and the membrane formation process is simple. However, it fails to overcome the defects of irreversible hydrolysis of amide bonds under hydrogen ion catalysis, leading to disintegration of the membrane structure, and surface charge reversal causing a sharp decrease in cation rejection rate.

[0004] The positively charged acid-resistant nanofiltration membrane provides an innovative solution to the above challenges through functional material design and surface charge regulation. The core advantage of this type of membrane lies in the synergistic effect of its unique positive charge characteristics and acid-resistant structure. Under low pH conditions, the positively charged functional groups on the membrane surface efficiently reject heavy metal cations through electrostatic repulsion (Donnan effect), while allowing small-sized and highly mobile H⁺ to freely pass through, significantly reducing acid loss; the acid-resistant polymer substrate, acid-resistant separation layer structure or surface modification layer endows the membrane with chemical stability in strong acidic environments, avoiding performance degradation due to hydrolysis. In existing technical methods, there are still some defects in the introduction of positive charges. Among them, the chemical modification method (quaternization, amination) is limited by the reactive sites of the active separation layer, resulting in low surface charge density; physical coating (layer-by-layer self-assembly, cationic polymer coating) is prone to charge layer shedding due to acid environment erosion or hydrodynamic shear, resulting in uneven charge distribution. At the same time, the introduction of charges often accompanies membrane pore blockage or surface densification, resulting in serious loss of water flux. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a nanofiltration membrane that can provide a strong and stable positive charge surface for acid-resistant nanofiltration membranes and improve water flux. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a polyamide-Schiff base double network structure acid-resistant nanofiltration membrane that can control hydrolysis, enhance the positive charge on the membrane surface, improve the cation rejection rate, and has high positive charge density and high flux.

Preferably 2,4,6-trimethylbenzaldehyde and / or 2,4,6-triethylbenzaldehyde. By the steric hindrance effect of the ortho-substituted aromatic aldehyde, the controllable hydrolysis of the dynamic Schiff base bond in the acidic environment can be achieved; if a fatty aldehyde (such as glutaraldehyde) is used, there is no steric hindrance, which will lead to complete breakage of the Schiff base bond in the acidic environment.

[0012] Optionally, the oil phase solution solvent is at least one of n-hexane, cyclohexane, n-heptane, toluene, benzene, Isopar E, Isopar H, Isopar L, Isopar M, and Isopar G; preferably Isopar G or n-hexane.

The dynamic Schiff base bond undergoes controllable partial hydrolysis under extreme acidic conditions, and the generated -NH2 is converted into -NH3+ in an acidic environment, thereby strengthening the positive charge layer on the membrane surface and improving the retention of cations. Meanwhile, the partial hydrolysis of the network produces nanoscale pores, which can improve the water flux while keeping the retention rate stable. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0046] The following separation performance tests were performed on each of the examples and comparative examples, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0047] 1. Zeta potential test The surface zeta potential test results of the acid-resistant nanofiltration membranes of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 are shown in Table 1, and the results show that the acid-resistant nanofiltration membrane of Example 1 has a higher surface zeta potential in an acidic (pH 2-5.5) environment, which strengthens the positive charge layer on the membrane surface, and is beneficial to improve the rejection of cations. Figure 2

[0048] 2. Water flux test of separation membrane: Water flux is the volume (V, L) of solution that passes through a unit membrane area (A, m 2 ) per unit time (t, h) under a certain operating pressure (P, bar); the separation membrane is placed in a cross-flow filtration device and operated under a certain pressure, and the water flow rate per unit time is recorded; finally, the water flux is calculated according to the following formula: P = V / (A·t·ΔP).

[0049] 3. Rejection performance test of separation membrane: Rejection rate is the ability of the membrane to prevent the passage of components in the feed liquid or to reject a certain component; the rejection rate is tested by measuring the ratio of the concentration difference (C P ) of the solute in the feed liquid and the permeate liquid to the solute concentration (C F ) in the feed liquid during the membrane filtration process, and the calculation formula is as follows: R = (1 - C P / C F ) x 100%.

[0050] Test method: After the obtained composite nanofiltration membrane was immersed in water for 24 h, a cross-flow test device was used, the cross-flow flow rate was 60 L / h, the pressure was 1.5 MPa, the temperature was 25 °C, 1000 ppm MgSO4 feed liquid (pH: ~6.5) was used as the feed liquid, and the water flux and MgSO4 rejection rate of the composite membrane were measured. The concentration of magnesium sulfate was determined by conductivity meter (FE38-Standard, Mettler Toledo).

[0051] 4. Dynamic long-time test for 14 days ​Test method: The membrane was subjected to a dynamic long-time test for 14 days under the conditions of a pressure of 1.5 MPa and a temperature of 25℃ using a 1000 ppm MgSO4 solution containing 15 wt% HNO3, and the water flux and magnesium ion rejection rate of the composite nanofiltration membrane were recorded, and the results are shown in Table 1. The concentration of magnesium ions was determined by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Figure 3 The results show that the composite nanofiltration membranes prepared in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-2 have similar divalent cation rejection rates and water fluxes in a near-neutral salt solution, which is mainly because the introduction of the Schiff base network structure does not affect the cross-linking density of the amide network.

[0052] In a dynamic acidic environment, the composite nanofiltration membranes of the examples and the comparative examples show significant differences. Compared with the comparative examples, the examples 1-6 have excellent MgSO4 salt rejection rate, and the water flux is significantly improved, which is mainly because the polyamide-Schiff base double network structure is partially hydrolyzed in an acidic environment, generating a surface positive charge, so that the membrane has a strong electrostatic repulsion effect. At the same time, the hydrolysis produces an additional water molecule transport channel, and the mass transfer resistance decreases, resulting in a significant improvement in water flux. Comparative Example 3 shows that the use of aliphatic aldehyde without steric hindrance does not have a controllable hydrolysis effect, and the polyamide network structure is severely damaged under acidic conditions, resulting in a loss of rejection performance. The ortho-substituted aromatic aldehyde has a unique controllable hydrolysis effect. The dynamic test results show that the acid-resistant nanofiltration membranes prepared in each example have excellent acid-resistant stability and divalent ion rejection rate, and are very suitable for the separation and recovery of heavy metals in industrial acid wastewater.

[0053] The above examples of the present application are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present application. Based on the above description, other different forms of changes or variations can be made by those of ordinary skill in the art. Here, it is not necessary or possible to exhaust all embodiments.
