Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of separation membrane technology, and relates to an antifouling polyamide composite membrane, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Polyamide composite membranes are widely used in seawater desalination, wastewater reuse, and industrial fluid treatment due to their excellent separation performance; however, membrane fouling has always been a key bottleneck restricting their large-scale application. The adsorption and deposition of pollutants on the membrane surface not only leads to a decrease in membrane flux and separation efficiency but also increases operating energy consumption and cleaning frequency, shortening the membrane's lifespan. Therefore, improving the antifouling properties of polyamide composite membranes is essential.
[0003] In recent years, a large amount of research on antifouling reverse osmosis membranes has been underway. For example, CN104226123A discloses a method for preparing a high-flux antifouling reverse osmosis membrane. This method involves an amidation reaction between the amino groups in a modifier and residual active acyl chloride groups, thereby terminating the reactivity of the acyl chlorides and reducing the hydrolysis ratio. Consequently, the content of negatively charged groups on the polyamide structure surface is significantly reduced, and the negative charge potential is lowered, thus reducing the shielding effect against fouling by charged substances with opposite charges on the membrane surface during operation. Another example is CN119186285A, which discloses an antifouling composite membrane, its preparation method, and a reverse osmosis membrane. This method grafts phosphonic acid groups containing amino groups onto the polyamide separation layer through a chemical reaction between the amino groups and acyl chloride groups on the nascent membrane surface. This improves the hydrophilicity of the polyamide separation layer, making it easier for the membrane to form a hydrated layer during separation, thereby preventing pollutants from adsorbing or depositing on the membrane surface and improving the membrane's antifouling ability. The prior art, including the invention mentioned above, mainly improves the antifouling ability of polyamide reverse osmosis membranes through the post-amidation reaction between the residual acyl chloride groups on the membrane surface and the amino groups of the grafted monomers. However, the amide bonds formed by the amidation reaction have poor chlorine resistance and are prone to degradation in chlorine-containing cleaning environments, affecting the long-term stability of the membrane. At the same time, it has limited effect on improving the hydrophilicity of the membrane surface and cannot control the surface charge characteristics.
[0004] Therefore, developing an antifouling polyamide composite membrane that can combine excellent surface hydrophilicity and charge property control with good chlorine resistance is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide an antifouling polyamide composite membrane, its preparation method, and its application. By introducing N-alkylglucosamine compounds to undergo esterification with the residual acyl chloride groups on the surface of the polyamide separation layer for grafting, the hydrophilicity and charge properties of the membrane surface are synergistically regulated, significantly improving the membrane's antifouling performance and separation efficiency. At the same time, it can endow the membrane with good chlorine resistance stability without affecting the membrane's retention performance, overcoming the trade-off effect between permeability and selectivity in traditional separation membranes.
[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: In a first aspect, the present invention provides an antifouling polyamide composite membrane, the antifouling polyamide composite membrane comprising a porous support layer and a polyamide separation layer; The surface of the polyamide separation layer is grafted with N-alkylglucosamine compounds, and the N-alkylglucosamine compounds are grafted by esterification reaction between the contained hydroxyl groups and the residual acyl chloride groups on the surface of the polyamide separation layer.
[0007] The antifouling polyamide composite membrane provided by this invention introduces N-alkylglucosamine compounds, which can undergo esterification with the acyl chloride groups remaining on the surface of the polyamide separation layer. This successfully grafts N-alkylglucosamine compounds onto the surface of the polyamide separation layer, forming a high-density hydrophilic layer, thereby effectively improving the surface hydration capacity of the resulting polyamide composite membrane and effectively inhibiting the adsorption of hydrophobic pollutants. Simultaneously, the esterification of the acyl chloride groups remaining on the surface of the polyamide separation layer reduces the number of acyl chloride groups available for hydrolysis on the membrane surface, thus reducing the surface negative charge of the membrane at neutral pH. Furthermore, the amine groups contained in the grafted N-alkylglucosamine compounds have pH-responsive characteristics (pKa approximately 8.0~9.5), partially protonated and positively charged under neutral conditions, which can offset some of the negative charge of the carboxyl groups, effectively reducing the negative charge on the membrane surface. Under acidic conditions, complete protonation further reduces the negative charge on the membrane surface. The synergistic effect of the above-mentioned dual mechanisms of enhanced hydrophilicity and reduced electronegativity significantly improves the antifouling ability of the final polyamide composite membrane.
[0008] The antifouling polyamide composite membrane provided by this invention utilizes the esterification reaction between the hydroxyl groups in N-alkyl glucosamine compounds and the residual acyl chloride groups on the surface of the polyamide separation layer to achieve covalent grafting. The resulting ester bonds have stronger chlorine resistance than the amide bonds formed by traditional amino modification. In chlorine-containing cleaning environments, the ester bonds are less prone to chlorine degradation, ensuring the structural integrity of the hydrophilic layer. This guarantees the long-lasting antifouling performance of the obtained polyamide composite membrane and extends its service life.
[0009] The antifouling polyamide composite membrane provided by this invention grafts N-alkyl glucosamine compounds onto its surface without altering the density and thickness of the polyamide separation membrane.

Thoroughly clean the membrane surface with deionized water to obtain the polyamide reverse osmosis membrane.
[0051] Performance testing: (1) Basic performance test: The NaCl salt rejection rate R and water flux J of the reverse osmosis membrane were tested using a cross-flow membrane performance evaluation device. The feed solution was a 2000 ppm sodium chloride aqueous solution with pH=7.0±0.5, the operating pressure was 225 psi (1.55MPa), and the operating temperature was 25±1℃. The formula for calculating flux J is as follows: ; Where J is the permeate volume (L) and S is the effective membrane area (m²). 2 ), where t is time (h); The formula for calculating the NaCl salt rejection rate R is as follows: ; in, This represents the concentration of NaCl in the original solution. This represents the concentration of NaCl in the filtrate.
[0052] (2) Evaluation of antifouling ability: The antifouling performance of the reverse osmosis membrane was tested using the cross-flow membrane performance evaluation device described above. First, the feed liquid was pre-pressurized for 0.5 h at the above-mentioned operating pressure and temperature to obtain a stable flux, denoted as J0. In the second stage, 100 ppm bovine serum albumin was used to replace the sodium chloride solution. After filtration for a period of time, the final stable flux was recorded as J0. b Finally, clean the fouled membrane and then remeasure the flux under the same conditions as in the first step, denoted as J1. Finally, calculate the flux recovery rate (FRR) and flux decay rate (DRt) using the following formulas: ; ; Among them, J1, J0 and J b These represent the membrane flux after physical cleaning, the initial membrane flux before fouling, and the membrane flux after fouling, respectively.
[0053] (3) Membrane surface hydrophilicity: The contact angle is a measure of the degree of wettability of a solid surface, which indirectly reflects the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of the material. The degree of wettability of the membrane surface is characterized by the static contact angle. Sample preparation: The membrane sample was repeatedly rinsed with deionized water and dried in a vacuum oven at 40°C for 24 h, and then the water contact angle was tested.
[0054] (4) Charge characterization: Zeta potential is the potential on the shear surface when the solid and liquid phases move relative to each other in the electrokinetic effect of the solid surface. It can be used to characterize the charge status of the membrane surface. The Zeta potential of the membrane surface in 1mM KCl solution under different pH conditions was tested and calculated using a Zeta potential meter. Sample preparation: The membrane sample was repeatedly rinsed with deionized water.
[0055] (5) Chlorine resistance: The membrane was soaked in 1000 mg / L HClO solution for 24 h, and the flux and NaCl rejection rate were retested under the conditions of 15.5 bar pressure, pH=7.5 and 25±0.4℃.
[0056] The membranes provided in Examples 1-9 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were tested according to the above test methods, and the test results are shown in Table 1: Table 1 According to the data in Table 1: The antifouling polyamide composite membranes provided in Examples 1-9 possess excellent basic membrane properties (water flux of 50.4-56.4 LMH, NaCl rejection rate of 99.18-99.57%), hydrophilicity (water contact angle of 40-77°), charge controllability (zeta potential of -42 to -29 mV at pH=7, and -35 to -5 mV at pH=3), antifouling properties (membrane flux decay rate after bovine serum albumin contamination is only 9.6-24.%, and flux recovery rate is as high as 90.4-96.8%), and chlorine resistance (NaCl rejection rate after chlorination is still as high as 64.6-78.4%), all of which are significantly better than those in Comparative Examples 1-4.
[0057] Specifically, as can be seen from Examples 1-6, as the mass percentage of N-methylglucosamine in the aqueous solution of N-methylglucosamine gradually increases, the water flux of the resulting antifouling polyamide composite membrane increases, while the NaCl rejection rate remains basically unchanged. However, if the mass percentage of N-methylglucosamine in the aqueous solution of N-methylglucosamine is too high, the water flux will decrease. This may be because high concentrations of N-methylglucosamine are more prone to aggregation, which will inhibit the diffusion rate from the aqueous solution to the oil solution, thereby affecting the formation rate and crosslinking degree of the polyamide separation layer. Secondly, as can be seen from Examples 1 and Examples 7-8, the water flux and NaCl rejection rate of the membrane are best at pH=11.
[0058] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention fall within the protection and disclosure scope of the present invention.
