Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of composite material technology, specifically relating to a negatively charged nanofiltration membrane, its preparation method and application, and particularly to a negatively charged nanofiltration membrane with uniform pore size, its preparation method and application. Background Technology
[0002] In various industrial production processes such as chemical engineering, seawater desalination, and coal chemical engineering, the discharge of high-salinity wastewater is increasing year by year. Direct discharge of this wastewater leads to serious environmental problems, such as water pollution, soil salinization, and long-term irreversible damage to ecosystems. Furthermore, high-salinity wastewater contains a large amount of inorganic salts. If these inorganic salts can be recovered and utilized during wastewater treatment, it will greatly improve the economic and social benefits of enterprises and contribute to the capacity expansion of related factories. The selective separation of inorganic salts is a crucial step in the treatment and resource recovery process of high-salinity wastewater, directly affecting the resource recovery rate of sodium chloride and sodium sulfate, as well as the overall treatment effect of high-salinity wastewater. Therefore, the selective separation of chloride ions (Cl⁻) and sulfate ions (SO₄²⁻) in high-salinity wastewater treatment is essential. 2- The efficient separation of ions has become an important research area for resource utilization and pollution control.
[0003] Currently, salt separation processes are mainly divided into two categories: thermal salt separation and nanofiltration salt separation. Thermal salt separation is a relatively mature process that separates and recovers inorganic salts through evaporation and crystallization. It has a wide range of applications and mature technology. However, its high energy consumption, large equipment footprint, and unstable quality of crystallized salt are also significant problems, which limits its application in the resource utilization of high-salinity wastewater. In contrast, nanofiltration salt separation, by employing nanofiltration membrane technology, helps reduce energy consumption and equipment investment in the evaporation and crystallization stages, while obtaining higher quality crystallized salt, thus demonstrating greater technological potential in the resource treatment of high-salinity wastewater. However, the salt separation performance of commercial nanofiltration membranes still faces multiple challenges. For example, there is a significant "trade-off" effect between membrane permeability and ion selectivity, meaning that increasing membrane flux often leads to a decrease in selective separation performance. In addition, in actual operation, nanofiltration membranes may still experience problems such as fouling, scaling, and clogging, which further accelerate the degradation of membrane performance and affect its long-term stability and economic viability.
[0004] While optimizing operating parameters (including temperature, pH, flow rate, and filtration mode) can improve salt separation performance and slow down the decline in membrane performance to some extent, the ability to improve performance through parameter control is limited. Therefore, starting with membrane material and structural design, and developing innovative nanofiltration membranes that combine high permeability, selectivity, and antifouling capabilities is the most effective way to fundamentally overcome performance bottlenecks.
[0005] Patent CN109758929A optimized the interfacial polymerization process by introducing a surfactant, resulting in a nanofiltration membrane with higher ion separation efficiency. However, the improvement in water flux was limited, failing to completely overcome the performance bottleneck of traditional membranes. Patent CN110354683A, on the other hand, introduced adamantane into the oil phase solution. Its unique cage-like structure increased the free volume inside the membrane, improving the separation of NaCl and SO4. 2- The selectivity of separation is limited. However, when the water flux reaches a certain level, the rejection rate for divalent sulfate ions still decreases significantly, demonstrating the limitation of "selectivity and flux imbalance". Similar flux-selectivity trade-off issues also appear in other disclosed salt separation nanofiltration membranes, such as those disclosed in CN115228300A and CN101934201A.
[0006] Therefore, developing a high-flux, highly selective, and fouling-resistant salt separation nanofiltration membrane is an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a negatively charged nanofiltration membrane, its preparation method, and its applications, particularly a uniformly pore-sized, negatively charged enhanced nanofiltration membrane, its preparation method, and its applications. The uniformly pore-sized, negatively charged enhanced nanofiltration membrane of the present invention is constructed by using polyamines containing double bonds and negatively charged functional groups to build a separation layer containing double bonds. Further, functional monomers containing thiol groups and negatively charged functional groups are used to target and modify the macropores of the separation layer through a thiol-double bond click reaction, ultimately obtaining a uniformly pore-sized, negatively charged enhanced nanofiltration membrane. This nanofiltration membrane, due to its larger pore size, narrower pore size distribution, and enhanced negative charge, can increase the permeation flux of water and chloride ions, improve the separation coefficient of monovalent and divalent anions, and enhance anti-scaling and anti-fouling capabilities without reducing the Na₂SO₄ rejection rate.
[0008] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0009] On one hand, the present invention provides a negatively charged enhanced nanofiltration membrane, the negatively charged enhanced nanofiltration membrane comprising a supporting substrate membrane and an active separation layer loaded on the supporting substrate membrane; the active separation layer comprising an interfacial polymerization product of a post-treated modified polyamine and a polyacrylamide chloride; the polyamine comprising polyamines containing double bonds and negatively charged functional groups and polyamines not containing double bonds and negatively charged functional groups; the post-treatment modification comprising grafting with functional monomers containing thiol groups and negatively charged functional groups.
[0010] In this invention, while the polyamine and polyacryl chloride form a polyamide at the interface, double bonds are introduced into the primary layer of the separation membrane. The double bonds in the primary layer of the separation membrane can react with thiol groups via a click reaction to introduce sulfonic acid or carboxyl functional groups into the separation layer, such as... Figure 1 As shown. Furthermore, since the grafted functional monomers containing thiol groups and negatively charged functional groups are small-molecule organic compounds, it ensures that while increasing the negative charge and reducing the pore size and pore size distribution, it does not affect the passage of pure water. This results in the active separation layer of the negatively charged enhanced nanofiltration membrane having a narrower pore size distribution, uniform pore size, high hydrophilicity, and strong negative charge, which is beneficial for improving Cl... - SO4 2- Separation selectivity, pollution resistance and water flux.
[0011] In this invention, the polyamine containing double bonds and negatively charged functional groups includes any one or a combination of at least two of diaminostilbene disulfonic acid, diaminostilbene dicarboxylic acid, sodium diaminostilbene disulfonate, or sodium diaminostilbene dicarboxylic acid.

This process enhances the electronegativity and hydrophilicity of the nanofiltration membrane, resulting in a composite nanofiltration membrane with uniform pore size, high hydrophilicity, and strong negative charge. This significantly improves the selective separation and antifouling performance of the composite nanofiltration membrane for monovalent and divalent anions.

[0091] Performance testing
[0092] The composite nanofiltration membranes provided in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were tested for selectivity in water and inorganic salts.
[0093] Water flux and inorganic salt retention performance of the composite nanofiltration membrane were tested in a low-pressure cross-flow apparatus (purchased from Hangzhou Saifei Membrane Separation Technology Co., Ltd.). The effective membrane area was 7 cm². 2 The filtration process employs a full-circulation mode, operating at a cross-flow velocity of 40 L / H. The water flux is calculated using the following formula:
[0094] .
[0095] Where P is the permeation flux (Lm) -2 h -1 bar -1 Vp is the volume of permeate collected within time t (L); Am is the effective membrane area (m²). 2 ); t is the running time (h); TMP is the transmembrane pressure (bar).
[0096] The retention rate of inorganic salts is calculated using the following formula:
[0097] .
[0098] Where Cp and Cr represent the concentrations of the solute in the permeate and retentate, respectively; for inorganic salt solutions, the concentration ratio can be replaced by the conductivity ratio. The above tests were conducted at 25°C with an inorganic salt solution concentration of 1000 ppm.
[0099] The separation factors for sodium chloride and sodium sulfate are calculated using the following formula:
[0100] .
[0101] like Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the permeation performance testing device for nanofiltration membranes provided by the present invention.
[0102] The specific test results are shown in Table 1:
[0103] Table 1
[0104]
[0105] As shown in the table above, the separation membrane provided by the present invention first introduces negatively charged functional groups such as sulfonic acid or carboxyl groups into the aqueous phase. These functional groups with ultra-high space charge density can generate electrostatic interactions with piperazine in the aqueous phase, thereby slowing down the diffusion rate of monomers, reducing membrane thickness and making the membrane more porous, which promotes the transport of water molecules and chloride ions in the membrane. In step (2), the interfacial polymerization product generated in step (1) is targeted modified by double bond-thiol click reaction, which further increases the negative charge density of the membrane while controlling the pore size and uniformity, which is beneficial to the high retention of sulfate ions. Ultimately, the separation membrane provided by the present invention has high water flux, high sodium sulfate rejection rate, low sodium chloride rejection rate and higher selectivity for monovalent and divalent ions.
[0106] A comparison of Examples 1-5 with Comparative Example 1 shows that the surface grafting in step (2) can improve the water flux and sodium chloride / sodium sulfate separation factor of the nanofiltration membrane. A comparison of Examples 1-5 with Comparative Examples 2-6 shows that the pure water flux and the selectivity for monovalent and divalent salt ions of the composite nanofiltration membrane prepared in this invention are superior to those of commercial nanofiltration membranes. A comparison of Examples 1-5 with Comparative Example 8 shows that if 4,4'-diaminostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid is not present in step (1), the sodium sulfate rejection rate of the membrane is low, ultimately resulting in a low sodium chloride / sodium sulfate separation factor.
[0107] In summary, the uniformly pore-sized negatively charged nanofiltration membrane provided by this invention, due to its larger pore size, narrower pore size distribution, and enhanced negative charge, can increase the permeation flux of water and chloride ions, improve salt separation efficiency, and enhance anti-scaling and anti-fouling capabilities without reducing the Na2SO4 rejection rate.
