Abstract
Description
A synergistically enhanced desalination membrane, its preparation method and application Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of membrane separation technology, and in particular to a synergistically enhanced desalination membrane, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, polyamide (PA) thin-film composite (TFC) membranes are widely used in water treatment fields such as reverse osmosis and nanofiltration. A typical preparation method involves using polyamine monomers and acyl chloride monomers as reactants, which are polymerized at the interface to form an ultrathin separation layer on the surface of a porous membrane. Although these membranes possess high mechanical strength and desalination performance, a significant flux-selectivity trade-off remains: increasing the water flux often leads to a decrease in salt rejection. Furthermore, traditional polyamide membranes have a strong hydrophobic surface, easily adsorbing organic pollutants and microorganisms, resulting in flux decay and fouling accumulation during operation, severely impacting long-term stability.
[0003] To address these shortcomings, researchers have attempted to regulate membrane structure and performance by introducing functionalized monomers into interfacial polymerization. Polyesteramide (PEA) membranes constructed using monomers containing both amine and hydroxyl groups not only exhibit superior chemical stability and chlorine resistance compared to traditional polyamide (PA) membranes, but also enhance hydrophilicity and antifouling properties through intermolecular hydrogen bonding, thus achieving a performance balance between dense polyamide and loose polyester membranes. For example, introducing fluorinated monomers can form low-surface-energy transport channels within the membrane, thereby improving water molecule migration efficiency; introducing zwitterionic monomers can impart superhydrophilicity and antifouling properties to the membrane surface. However, single-type functional monomers are insufficient to simultaneously achieve high flux, salt rejection, and stability, and post-modification processes often lead to insufficient membrane adhesion or delamination. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a novel strategy that can synergistically construct fluorinated channels, a zwitterionic superhydrophilic layer, and a highly cross-linked dense structure in a one-step interfacial polymerization process, thereby simultaneously improving membrane separation efficiency and antifouling performance. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a synergistically enhanced desalination membrane, its preparation method, and its application.

[0006] In a first aspect, a synergistically enhanced desalination membrane is provided, comprising a porous ultrafiltration base membrane and a functional layer formed on the surface of the porous ultrafiltration base membrane; the functional layer is formed by copolymerization and crosslinking of a fluorinated polyhydroxy monomer, a zwitterionic polyhydroxy monomer, and m-phenylenediamine with an acyl chloride monomer through an interfacial polymerization reaction.
[0007] Specifically, this synergistically enhanced desalination membrane introduces fluorinated polyhydroxy monomers and zwitterionic polyhydroxy monomers into a traditional polyamine monomer system, enabling the three to work synergistically during interfacial polymerization. The fluorinated monomers construct low-surface-energy nanochannels within the membrane, enhancing the migration rate of water molecules; the zwitterionic monomers form a superhydrophilic hydration layer, effectively inhibiting organic and biological contamination; the hydrophilic-hydrophobic interactions between the two promote microphase separation within the membrane layer, forming a regular and interconnected multi-scale channel structure. Simultaneously, m-phenylenediamine participates in the cross-linking reaction to form a dense polyamide framework, effectively reducing the pore size while improving the mechanical strength of the membrane layer, thus achieving a balance between high flux and high salt rejection rate.

[0085] Test case
[0086] 1. Water flux and sodium chloride rejection rate test: Water flux and rejection rate are two important parameters for evaluating the performance of synergistically enhanced desalination membranes. The performance of the synergistically enhanced desalination membranes prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-2 was evaluated using a cross-flow filtration device. Water flux (J) is defined as the volume of water that permeates through a unit area per unit time under certain operating conditions, expressed in mL / m³. -2 h -1 Rejection (R) is defined as the difference between the feed solution salt concentration and the permeate salt concentration under certain operating conditions, divided by the feed solution salt concentration.
[0087] The separation performance of the synergistically enhanced desalination membranes prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-2 was tested under the following operating conditions: feed solution was 2000 ppm sodium chloride aqueous solution, operating pressure was 1.55 MPa, operating temperature was 25 °C, and pressure stabilization time was 60 min. The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0088] Table 1: Water flux and sodium chloride rejection of the synergistically enhanced desalination membranes in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-2
[0089]
[0090] Table 1 lists the water flux and sodium chloride rejection rate of the desalination membranes in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-2. The results show that the zwitterionic polyesteramide desalination membrane prepared in this application has excellent desalination performance, exhibiting significantly improved water flux and sodium chloride rejection rate compared to the polyamide membrane (Comparative Example 1) and the non-zwitterionic polyesteramide membrane (Comparative Example 2).
[0091] 2. The water flux and sodium chloride rejection of the synergistically enhanced desalination membranes prepared in Examples 1 and 6-9 (the mass ratios of 3,6-dihydroxy-9-trifluoromethyl-9-phenyloxanthracene (3FR), N-methyldiethanolamine N-oxide (MDEAO), and m-phenylenediamine (MPD) in the aqueous phase monomers of these examples were also tested.

Table 2 shows that when the mass ratio of the two components is 2:2:6 (Example 7), the prepared synergistically enhanced desalination membrane exhibits superior desalination performance. The morphology of Example 7 is shown in Figure 1. The left image in Figure 1 shows the surface morphology of Example 7, and the inset in the upper left corner of the left image is a photograph of the sample after testing in Example 7. The right image in Figure 1 shows the cross-sectional morphology of Example 7; it demonstrates that the membrane surface still retains the typical "ridge-valley" structure of polyamide, and the abundant specific surface area is beneficial for water permeation.
