Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of isotope separation technology, specifically relating to a crown ether-functionalized mixed matrix membrane based on hydrogen bond crosslinking for lithium isotope separation, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium (Li) is known as the "energy metal of the 21st century". It is mainly found in solid lithium ore and lithium-rich natural water. my country's lithium reserves are as high as 15.184 million tons, of which nearly half of the lithium resources are stored in the form of salt lake brine in Qinghai Province.

[0003] Lithium exists in nature 6 Li and 7 Li has two stable isotopes, among which 6 The Li abundance was 7.53%. 6 Li has a strong neutron-trapping ability and can produce tritium, an important raw material for nuclear fusion, during neutron bombardment, releasing a large amount of energy, making it an ideal nuclear fuel for nuclear reactors. It is estimated that 1 kg of tritium... 6 Li, through nuclear fusion, produces more energy than burning 20,000 tons of high-quality coal, and far more than the energy produced by the same mass of coal. 235 The energy released during U fission. However 6 Li must have an abundance of 30% or more to be used as a tritium additive.

[0004] 7 Li has a small neutron absorption cross section, and when its abundance is above 99.92%, it can be used as a pH adjuster in pressurized water reactors; when its abundance is above 99.995%, it can be used as a coolant in thorium molten salt reactors. Therefore, 6 Li and 7 The separation of Li is of great significance for the development and application of the future nuclear fusion industry.

[0005] Currently, the only lithium isotope separation method used in industrial production is the lithium amalgam method. However, the use of large amounts of metallic mercury poses certain risks to human health and the environment. Methods currently under development and research mainly fall into two categories: electro-driven separation methods utilizing the difference in intrinsic ionic mobility between two ions, and separation methods utilizing functional materials with different interactions. The former includes electromigration, electrodeposition, electrodialysis, and electrointercalation, while the latter mainly includes chemical precipitation, adsorption separation, solvent extraction, and membrane separation. Adsorption methods often suffer from poor permeability, high cost, and difficulties in granulation. Extraction methods are prone to emulsification during extraction, and chemical precipitation methods have complex processes. In comparison, membrane separation is more environmentally friendly and can be integrated with other testing systems to further improve performance, showing significant development potential.

[0018] Furthermore, the alkaline environment in step S1 is achieved by adding inorganic salts such as potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium hydroxide, or sodium hydroxide.

[0019] Furthermore, the molar ratio of 2-(hydroxymethyl)-12-crown 4, 2-(hydroxymethyl)-14-crown 4, or 2-(hydroxymethyl)-15-crown 5 to p-toluenesulfonyl chloride is 1:1.05-1.1.

The entire preparation process is conducted under mild reaction conditions, resulting in a uniform crown ether-functionalized mixed matrix membrane with excellent mechanical properties.

In one specific embodiment, 6 Li + and 7 Li + The single-stage selectivity is 1.0712, and the separation process is continuous, stable, energy-efficient, and highly effective.

Subsequently, the membrane was dried again in an oven at 110 ℃, and a flat membrane sample was taken for FTIR measurement. The results are shown in the figure. Figure 5 As can be seen from the data, heating the system above the boiling point of water ensures that no water molecules are present in the system, and the infrared characteristic peaks do not show a significant shift, proving that the hydrogen bond network is very weak.
