Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of dye / salt separation technology, and specifically relates to a TA-Fe 3+ Composite separation membranes, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology
[0002] Among numerous separation technologies, nanofiltration (NF), as a pressure-driven membrane separation technology, exhibits great application potential in dye desalination due to its unique pore size sieving (pore size approximately 0.5-2 nm) and Donnan charge repulsion effect. An ideal dye-salt separation nanofiltration membrane should possess the dual characteristics of "high dye rejection rate" and "high salt permeability," while allowing inorganic salt ions (especially NaCl and Na₂SO₄) to permeate as much as possible, thereby achieving dye concentration and purification as well as salt recovery and reuse.
[0003] However, traditional commercial nanofiltration membranes are mostly "dense" composite membranes, designed primarily for water softening or retaining polyvalent salts. These membranes have a high salt rejection rate, leading to significant salt retention when treating dyeing and printing wastewater, making effective separation of dyes and salts impossible. This not only causes a sharp increase in osmotic pressure on the concentration side, resulting in a significant decrease in membrane flux, but also exacerbates concentration polarization and membrane fouling, severely impacting the effective separation of dyes and salts and operational stability.
[0004] In recent years, nanofiltration membranes prepared using the interfacial coordination method based on metal-polyphenol networks (MPNs) have attracted widespread attention due to their environmental friendliness and mild operating conditions. However, with the increasing demands for dye and salt treatment in industrial applications, the membrane separation efficiency of existing technologies still needs further improvement. Developing composite separation membranes with higher permeability and separation efficiency to meet the more stringent and complex needs of dyeing and printing wastewater treatment remains a pressing technical challenge.

The second step uses a background electrolyte solution (typically 1 mM or 10 mM KCl solution) as the test solution. The solution circulates within the system to wet the membrane surface and establish a stable electrical double layer. The third step involves pH adjustment and scanning, which follows a preset program, scanning from acidic (e.g., pH 3) to alkaline (e.g., pH 10), stopping and collecting data at each pH point (including pH 7), ultimately plotting the data as a curve. The fourth step involves data acquisition and calculation. At a steady state of pH 7, the instrument performs the following operations: Pressurization: Pressure is applied to the sample cell using a pneumatic pump (typically between 1500-3000 mbar), causing the solution to flow over the membrane surface at different rates. Measurement: The generated flow potential is detected by high-sensitivity Ag / AgCl electrodes or platinum electrodes located at both ends of the flow channel. Calculation: The instrument software automatically calculates the Zeta potential value at pH 7 based on the measured flow potential, flow current, and the solution's conductivity, temperature, and viscosity. Test results are as follows Figure 6 As shown, by observation Figure 6 It can be seen that the average Zeta potential at pH=7 is -55.43 (mV). The negatively charged membrane can effectively repel negatively charged dyes while allowing smaller salt ions to pass through.
