Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of seawater desalination and chemistry and chemical industry, and particularly relates to a photoelectric-thermal super-hydrophobic anti-pollution composite membrane and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increasing shortage of global freshwater resources, seawater desalination technology has become one of the important ways to solve the water resource crisis. Although traditional seawater desalination methods have been widely used, such as reverse osmosis (RO) and multi-stage flash distillation (MSF), they still face problems such as high energy consumption, equipment corrosion and concentrated salt water discharge. Therefore, developing new seawater desalination technologies with high efficiency, low energy consumption and environmental friendliness has become a research hotspot.

[0003] Currently, photothermal membrane distillation (PMD) is an innovative technology that combines solar light-to-heat conversion with membrane distillation, and has broad application prospects. This technology uses photothermal materials to absorb solar energy and convert it into heat, which locally heats the membrane interface, promoting water evaporation and selectively separating water vapor through a hydrophobic microporous membrane, and finally condensing fresh water. Existing photothermal materials include plasmonic nanoparticles, carbon-based materials or semiconductor polymers, etc. Compared with traditional membrane distillation, PMD technology has the following advantages: (1) low energy consumption: directly driven by solar energy, reducing dependence on electricity and steam; (2) high efficiency: localized heating of photothermal materials can improve heat utilization efficiency and reduce heat loss; (3) modular design: compact system structure, suitable for distributed and small-scale freshwater supply; (4) environmentally friendly: reducing fossil energy consumption and carbon emissions, in line with the concept of sustainable development.

[0004] However, photothermal membrane distillation technology still faces challenges such as photothermal material stability, membrane fouling and long-term durability. Future research will focus on optimizing photothermal membrane material design, improving solar energy utilization efficiency and developing low-cost large-scale preparation processes to promote the practical application of this technology. For example, most of the components of the membrane used in photothermal membrane distillation are composed of carbon-based materials, which have hydrophilic properties and are therefore easily contaminated by seawater. Although hydrophobically modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes have been used in membrane distillation technology, PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride membrane) is used as a solvent to mix with multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and then reformed into a membrane, as described in patent application number CN202510180642.2 and patent application number CN201510278362.1. However, this method of preparing the membrane has the disadvantage of poor electrical conductivity due to the introduction of PVDF into the carbon nanotubes, which does not have electric heating capability. In view of this, the present application provides a photoelectric-thermal super-hydrophobic anti-pollution composite membrane and a preparation method and application thereof. SUMMARY

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a photoelectric thermal super-hydrophobic anti-pollution composite film and a preparation method and application thereof.

[0006] The technical scheme for solving the above technical problem is as follows: In a first aspect, the photoelectric thermal super-hydrophobic anti-pollution composite film comprises a PVDF base film layer, an adhesive layer and a fluorinated multi-walled carbon nanotube film layer; the PVDF base film layer is bonded to the fluorinated multi-walled carbon nanotube film layer through the adhesive layer.

[0007] On the basis of the above technical scheme, the present application can also be improved as follows.

[0008] Further, the thickness of the PVDF base film layer is 180-250 microns; the thickness of the fluorinated multi-walled carbon nanotube composite film layer is 120-180 microns; the thickness of the adhesive layer is 10-18 microns; preferably, the thickness of the PVDF base film layer is 216 microns; the thickness of the fluorinated multi-walled carbon nanotube composite film layer is 147.1 microns; and the thickness of the adhesive layer is 14 microns.

[0009] In a second aspect, a preparation method of a photoelectric thermal super-hydrophobic anti-pollution composite film comprises the following steps: coating an adhesive on a PVDF base film; preparing fluorinated multi-walled carbon nanotube solution; applying the fluorinated multi-walled carbon nanotube solution to the PVDF base film coated with the adhesive, and obtaining a PVDF-fluorinated multi-walled carbon nanotube composite film after drying, which is a photoelectric thermal super-hydrophobic anti-pollution composite film.

[0010] Further, the adhesive comprises at least one of PVA (polyvinyl alcohol), PEG (polyethylene glycol) and PAA (polyacrylic acid). The weight ratio of the PVDF base film to the adhesive is 20:0.5-2, preferably 20:1.

[0011] Further, the mass concentration of fluorinated multi-walled carbon nanotubes in the fluorinated multi-walled carbon nanotube solution is 0.095wt%-0.12wt%. The solvent in the fluorinated multi-walled carbon nanotube solution is at least one of ethanol, isopropyl alcohol and tetrahydrofuran. The weight ratio of the PVDF base film to the fluorinated multi-walled carbon nanotubes is 8:2-4, preferably 8:3.

[0012] Further, the fluorinated multi-walled carbon nanotube solution is plated on the PVDF base film coated with an adhesive agent by vacuum filtration, and dried at a temperature of 60-100 DEG C for 3-12 hours to obtain a PVDF-fluorinated multi-walled carbon nanotube composite film.

[0013] Further, the fluorinated multi-walled carbon nanotube is prepared by the following steps: The hydroxylated multi-walled carbon nanotube and 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorodecyltrichlorosilane are added to tetrahydrofuran, and reacted under stirring, and then the fluorinated multi-walled carbon nanotube is obtained by separation.

[0014] Further, the weight ratio of the hydroxylated multi-walled carbon nanotube to the 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorodecyltrichlorosilane is 1.5-6:4. The ratio of the amount of the hydroxylated multi-walled carbon nanotube to the tetrahydrofuran is 1.2-6 mg:3 mL.

[0015] Further, the reaction conditions are as follows: the rotation speed is 8000-10000 rpm, and the reaction is carried out at room temperature for 12-36 hours.

[0016] The third aspect is the application of the photoelectric-thermal super-hydrophobic anti-pollution composite film to seawater desalination.

[0017] The present application is characterized in that the hydroxylated multi-walled carbon nanotube solution is fluorinated to change its hydrophilicity to super-hydrophobicity, and then plated on a PVDF base film by filtration, and the composite film is mainly composed of two layers: a PVDF base film and a modified carbon nanotube super-hydrophobic layer, so that the modified composite film has the functions of photo-thermal, electric-thermal and super-hydrophobicity, and becomes a very excellent membrane distillation material for seawater desalination.

[0018] The present application has the following advantages: (1) Unlike the existing super-hydrophobic photo-thermal film, the PVDF and multi-walled carbon nanotube are dissolved together and then re-filmed, while the present application uses a PVDF base film as a substrate, and fluorinated hydrophobic modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes are plated on the PVDF base film, so that the film forming process is simpler, the required equipment is less, and the cost is lower. (2) Since the fluorinated multi-walled carbon nanotube film layer (hydrophobic layer) of the composite film of the present application does not contain PVDF, it has good electrical conductivity, and can not only be used for photo-thermal membrane distillation in seawater desalination, but also for electric-thermal membrane distillation and photoelectric coupling membrane distillation. (3) In the performance test of the composite film in the present application, the surface temperature of the film under electric-thermal conditions can reach 120 DEG C, which can make the film have very strong membrane distillation performance and achieve very high flux.
