Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a selective electrodialysis device and its application, belonging to the field of water treatment equipment and application technology. BACKGROUND

[0002] Membrane separation has the advantages of high separation efficiency, simple process operation, low energy consumption, no secondary pollution, etc., among which selective electrodialysis can effectively separate monovalent ions and multivalent ions. For example, in the prior art, patent application No. CN115448429A discloses a monovalent selective bipolar membrane electrodialysis device and a method for treating high-salinity wastewater. It discloses that under the action of an electric field, ions in high-salinity wastewater undergo directional migration. Due to electrostatic repulsion, monovalent Cl - preferentially enters the cation exchange fiber network and penetrates through the monovalent selective anion exchange membrane into the acid chamber on the positive membrane side of the bipolar membrane, where H + is generated by the hydrolysis of the bipolar membrane, and finally flows out as a certain concentration of HCl solution; monovalent Na + ions preferentially enter the anion exchange fiber network and penetrate through the monovalent selective cation exchange membrane into the base chamber on the negative membrane side of the bipolar membrane, where OH - is generated by the hydrolysis of the bipolar membrane, and finally flows out as a certain concentration of NaOH solution; due to the electrostatic repulsion of the anion and cation exchange fiber network and the double interception effect of the monovalent selective ion exchange membrane, SO4 2- , CO3 2- , and a small amount of Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ high-valence cations remaining after softening are intercepted in the salt chamber, thereby greatly improving the purity of the HCl and NaOH solutions. However, it can only be used to separate high-salinity wastewater containing Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , CO3 2- , Na + , SO4 2- , and Cl - , and obtain NaOH solution without Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , and acid liquid water.

[0003] The prior art usually adopts extraction and adsorption to extract lithium, but the extraction process is long, secondary pollution exists, and the adsorption has the defects of competitive adsorption and limited adsorption capacity. There are also methods for separating lithium ions and magnesium ions during lithium extraction to solve the problem of extracting lithium from salt lake brine with high magnesium-lithium ratio. However, the current selective electrodialysis device still has problems such as low separation rate and low current efficiency. On the one hand, during operation, pollutants in the treatment solution often cause a sharp decrease in current efficiency, or the selective ion membrane is operated for a long time. When there are magnesium ions in the cathode liquid, Mg(OH)2gel-like precipitate is easily generated in the cathode chamber, adhering to the cathode side membrane surface or the cathode plate, causing pollution and scaling, reducing separation selectivity, and increasing operating power consumption. On the other hand, while the selective electrodialysis separates monovalent ions, it also concentrates and enriches ions, which causes serious reverse migration of concentrated ions, resulting in a decrease in current efficiency. SUMMARY

[0046] The selective electrodialysis device provided by the application is characterized in that a protective layer is arranged on the cation exchange membrane and the anion exchange membrane, and an organic framework catalytic material in the protective layer is used to adsorb and catalytically degrade organic pollutants, thereby effectively solving the problems of separation efficiency reduction and operation power consumption increase caused by organic pollution during device operation; in addition, the barrier layer of the cation exchange membrane and the anion exchange membrane effectively inhibits ion reverse migration when the solution concentration in the concentrated solution chamber is high, thereby improving the current efficiency and the single / multiple ion separation rate of the selective electrodialysis device.

[0047] The cation exchange membrane is obtained by coating 10-30 g / L of a polystyrene sodium sulfonate casting solution on a substrate of sulfonated polybenzimidazole, drying the substrate, and further containing porous micro-nano materials in the casting solution, wherein the amount of the porous micro-nano materials accounts for 3-10% of the polystyrene sodium sulfonate. The porous micro-nano materials are prepared by dispersing metal (zinc, nickel, copper, etc.) hydrochloride and tetrakis(4-pyridylphenyl)ethylene in N,N-dimethylformamide at a mass ratio of 1-3:1, ultrasonicating for 15-30 minutes, and then reacting at 120-150°C for 60-90 hours, preferably, the mass concentration of the mixture of the metal hydrochloride and tetrakis(4-pyridylphenyl)ethylene in N,N-dimethylformamide is 5-10 mg / mL.

[0048] It is found through a large number of experimental studies that the coating of polystyrene sodium sulfonate can increase the charge density of the cation exchange membrane, promote the rapid migration of ions under the action of an electric field, and improve the ion transfer rate. Too high a concentration will affect the coating effect, and too low a charge density will not significantly increase the charge density, therefore, the concentration of the polystyrene sodium sulfonate is preferably 10-30 g / L, and the amount of the porous micro-nano materials accounts for 3-10% of the polystyrene sodium sulfonate.

[0049] The cation exchange membrane further has a protective layer on the surface of the dilute liquid chamber side, i.e., the side facing the anode is coated with a cation protective layer, and the cation protective layer is polydiphenylpiperidine containing organic framework catalytic material A. The preparation method of the organic framework catalytic material A is as follows: 2,4-diformylphloroglucinol and diaminobenzenesulfonic acid (molar ratio 1:1.2-1.6) are added to a mixed solution of N,N-dimethylformamide and mesitylene at a volume ratio of 1:4, then TiO2 nanoparticles deposited with noble metals such as Pt, Au, and Rh are dispersed in the mixed solution, ultrasonicated for 15-40 minutes, and then reacted at 110-140°C for 40-60 hours to obtain the organic framework catalytic material A. The TiO2 nanoparticles deposited with noble metals are obtained by adding TiO2 nanoparticles to a noble metal salt solution, stirring for several hours, drying, and then calcining at 300-400°C for 4-6 hours under an inert gas, wherein the mass ratio of the TiO2 nanoparticles deposited with noble metals in the mixed solution is 2-5%, and the mass ratio of the noble metals to TiO2 is 0.5-10%.

[0050] The amount of the organic framework catalytic material A is preferably 5-15% of the polydiphenylpiperidine, and the concentration of the polydiphenylpiperidine is 0.5-2 mol / L dissolved in dichloromethane solution.

[0051] The polydiphenylpiperidine adopted in the application has strong repulsion to multivalent cations such as magnesium and weakens the interaction with monovalent cations such as lithium, so that the multivalent cations are effectively intercepted without reducing the transmission rate of monovalent cations; meanwhile, the organic framework catalytic material A in the application can adsorb and catalytically degrade organic pollutants, effectively solving the problems of reduced separation efficiency and increased operating power consumption caused by organic pollution during the operation of the device, and the sulfonic acid groups of the organic framework catalytic material A have stronger electrostatic interaction with multivalent cations, so that the multivalent cations are adsorbed in advance to limit the transmission before selective separation.

[0052] The anion exchange membrane adopts a quaternary amine poly sulfone or poly ether sulfone film as a substrate, and the surface is coated with 15-25 g / L polydimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride, which can effectively increase the charge density and thus improve the ion transmission rate.

[0053] The side of the anion exchange membrane facing the anode, i.e. the side surface close to the dilute liquid chamber, is also coated with a protective layer containing polystyrene of the organic framework catalytic material B. The preparation method of the organic framework catalytic material B is as follows: a mixture of 2,4-diformylphloroglucinol and p-phenylenediamine with a molar ratio of 1:1.2-1.6 is added to a mixed solution of N,N-dimethylformamide and mesitylene with a volume ratio of 1:4, then TiO2 nanoparticles (2-5 wt%) deposited with noble metals such as Pt, Au and Rh (noble metals account for 0.5-10% of the mass of TiO2) are dispersed in the mixed solution, and after ultrasonic treatment for 0.5 h, the reaction is carried out at 110-140℃ for 60 h to obtain the product.

[0054] The addition of the organic framework catalytic material B can adsorb and catalytically degrade organic pollutants, preventing the anion exchange membrane from being polluted by organic matter during operation.

[0055] The side of the cation exchange membrane facing the cathode and the side of the anion exchange membrane facing the anode, i.e. the side surface close to the concentrated liquid chamber, is coated with a barrier layer, which is obtained by coating a petroleum ether solution of a mixture of N-methyl-4-piperidone and 4-trifluoromethyl biphenyl with a molar ratio of 1:1-1.4 and then drying, and the barrier layer effectively inhibits ion back migration when the solution concentration in the concentrated liquid chamber is high. The concentration of N-methyl-4-piperidone is 0.5-3 mol / L.

[0056] Most preferably, the petroleum ether solution of N-methyl-4-piperidone and 4-trifluoromethyl biphenyl with a molar ratio of 1:1.2, wherein the concentration of N-methyl-4-piperidone is 1.5 mol / L. A chlorine gas absorber is arranged in the anode chamber. The chlorine gas absorber can control the escape of chlorine gas, achieving safe handling and resource recycling.

[0057] The selective electrodialysis device is provided with a pre-filter, and a polyolefin membrane doped with an adsorbent material is used in the pre-filter, and the adsorbent material is prepared by reacting a mixture of tetra-(4-aminophenyl)ethylene (6-10 mol / L) and 2,6-divinyl naphthalene in a molar ratio of 4:1 in a toluene and ethyl acetate solution in a volume ratio of 3:1 for 48-72 h, and then rinsing and drying.

[0058] After being treated by the pre-filter, the suspended solids, solid impurities and macromolecular organic matters in the water are effectively blocked, so that the selective electrodialysis device can be normally operated.

[0059] In one embodiment of the present application, a selective electrodialysis device is provided, which comprises an electrodialysis cell, and an anode and a cathode are arranged on two sides of the electrodialysis cell, respectively, and the anode and the cathode are used for connecting a positive electrode and a negative electrode of a power supply, respectively.

All the concentrated liquid chambers can be connected by a pipeline for liquid inlet or liquid outlet, and all the dilute liquid chambers can be connected by a pipeline for liquid inlet or liquid outlet. As shown in FIG. Figure 1 In the working process of the device, feed liquid 11 and acceptable liquid 12 are added into the dilute liquid chamber and the concentrated liquid chamber of the device through the feed pipe, and after working, the concentrated liquid 13 formed in the concentrated liquid chamber flows out through the pipeline, and the dilute liquid 14 formed in the dilute liquid chamber flows out through the pipeline.

Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a clearer and more thorough understanding of the invention and to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. Unless otherwise specified, all reagents used in the embodiments are of analytical grade or higher and may be commercially available products.

[0062] Example 1

[0063] A selective electrodialysis apparatus, comprising an electrodialysis cell, such as Figure 2 As shown, an anode 2 and a cathode 3 are respectively provided on both sides of the electrodialysis cell 1. The anode 2 is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply, and the cathode 3 is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply. The materials of the anode 2 and the cathode 3 are titanium-coated lead dioxide. Starting from the anode 2 side, a cation exchange membrane 4 is first set, followed by a partition or mesh 6, then an anion exchange membrane 5, then another partition or mesh 6, and so on, forming an alternating arrangement of cation exchange membrane-partition or mesh-anion exchange membrane-partition or mesh-cation exchange membrane until the cathode side. The first and last membranes are both cation exchange membranes 4. In other words, between anode 2 and cathode 3, cation exchange membrane 4, separator or mesh 6, anion exchange membrane 5, separator or mesh 6, cation exchange membrane 4, etc. are alternately arranged in sequence. The interval between cation exchange membrane 4 and anion exchange membrane 5 and cation exchange membrane 4 alternately forms a concentrate chamber, a dilute chamber, and another concentrate chamber. That is, from the anode to the cathode, the sequence is cation exchange membrane, concentrate chamber (with separator or mesh inside), anion exchange membrane, dilute chamber (with separator or mesh inside), cation exchange membrane, concentrate chamber, etc. The separator or mesh is set as a mesh, mainly to provide a cavity, i.e., a compartment, between the anode and cathode membranes. An electrode membrane 7 is set on one side of the anode and cathode. A separator or mesh 6 is also set between the electrode membrane 7 and anode 2 and cathode 3. An electrode compartment is formed between the electrode (anode, cathode) and the electrode membrane. The anode compartment is formed between anode 2 and electrode membrane 7, and the cathode compartment is formed between cathode 3 and electrode membrane 7. The material of electrode membrane 7 is quaternary ammonium polyphenylene ether.

[0064] The cation exchange membrane used is obtained by coating a sulfonated polybenzimidazole with a casting solution containing porous micro-nano materials and 10 g / L of polystyrene sulfonic acid sodium, and then drying, wherein the casting solution also contains porous micro-nano materials, and the porous micro-nano materials are prepared by dispersing zinc chloride and tetra(4-pyridyl biphenyl) ethylene in N,N-dimethylformamide at a mass ratio of 2:1, ultrasonicating for 20 minutes, and then reacting at 120°C for 90 hours. The preparation method specifically comprises the following steps:

[0065] (1) First, immerse the sulfonated polybenzimidazole membrane as the base film in deionized water for 2 hours to remove surface impurities, and then dry or absorb the surface moisture with filter paper.

[0066] (2) Preparation of the casting solution: disperse zinc chloride and tetra(4-pyridyl biphenyl) ethylene in N,N-dimethylformamide at a mass ratio of 2:1, wherein the mass concentration of zinc chloride and tetra(4-pyridyl biphenyl) ethylene in the N,N-dimethylformamide solvent is 5-10 mg / mL, ultrasonicate at an ultrasonic power of 300-500 W for 20 minutes, and then react the ultrasonicated dispersion at 120°C for 90 hours. After the reaction is completed, cool to room temperature, filter the product, wash with N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and deionized water alternately for 3-5 times (to remove unreacted raw materials and impurities), and then vacuum dry at 60-80°C for 12 hours to obtain white or light yellow porous micro-nano material powder.

[0067] Weigh 10 g of polystyrene sulfonic acid sodium, add 1 L of deionized water, stir until completely dissolved, form a transparent PSS solution, then add 0.5 g of the prepared porous micro-nano material powder, stir uniformly, and then ultrasonicate again for 10-15 minutes to ensure uniform dispersion of the material in the casting solution, forming a stable suspension state casting solution.

[0068] Slowly immerse the base film in the casting solution, stand for 10-30 seconds to allow the casting solution to evenly adhere to the surface of the base film, then slowly take it out and hang it vertically to drain the excess liquid.

[0069] (3) Place the coated membrane in an oven and dry at 60-80°C for 2-4 hours (low-temperature slow drying to avoid cracking of the membrane surface due to rapid solvent evaporation), until the membrane is completely dry, forming a uniform composite membrane layer.

[0070] (4) Soak the dried membrane in deionized water for 12 hours to remove unreacted PSS and residual solvents, thereby obtaining a cation exchange membrane coated with porous micro-nano material-containing polystyrene sulfonic acid sodium (sulfonic acid groups dissociate in water, imparting selective permeability to the membrane for cations).
