Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of membrane separation and technology, specifically relating to a hybrid matrix membrane doped with metal-organic framework materials and graphyne materials, and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, bioethanol recovered from biofermentation has received widespread attention as a clean and recyclable energy source that can alleviate fossil fuel shortages and address environmental degradation. However, the low ethanol concentration in biofermentation broth leads to enormous energy consumption for traditional recovery methods such as distillation. Pervaporation (PV), as a highly efficient and energy-saving membrane separation technology, is considered an ideal alternative for recovering bioethanol.
[0003] Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) has become the most widely studied preferred material for alcohol permeation membranes due to its excellent hydrophobicity and biocompatibility. However, the separation performance of pure polymer membranes is limited by the "trade-off" effect between permeability and selectivity. To overcome this bottleneck, researchers have developed hybrid matrix membranes (MMMs) by introducing nanomaterials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic scaffolds (COFs), zeolites, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into the polymer matrix to improve permeation selectivity.
[0004] Based on the "dissolution-diffusion" mechanism of pervaporation, the key to improving membrane separation performance lies in simultaneously enhancing both adsorption and diffusion selectivity. However, while MOF materials such as ZIF-8 possess high specific surface area, which is beneficial for enhancing adsorption selectivity, their pore structure often makes it difficult to achieve ideal diffusion selectivity. Therefore, combining them with a nanomaterial exhibiting high diffusion selectivity to improve diffusion selectivity and thus separation performance is of great significance for selective ethanol recovery.
[0005] Meanwhile, graphyne (GDY), as a novel two-dimensional carbon allotrope, possesses highly ordered intrinsic hexagonal channels and excellent alcohol-loving properties. Its unique two-dimensional planar structure provides extremely short diffusion paths for ethanol molecules, exhibiting excellent molecular sieving ability and high diffusion selectivity. Based on this, if MOFs with strong adsorption capacity can be composited with HsGDY exhibiting excellent diffusion selectivity, it is expected that the synergistic effect of the two can simultaneously improve the adsorption and diffusion selectivity of the mixed matrix membrane, thereby comprehensively enhancing its pervaporation performance.
[0006] Based on the above analysis, this invention prepares ZIF-8@graphyne nanomaterials with synergistic adsorption and diffusion effects by composite construction of ZIF-8 and graphyne materials. These nanomaterials are further doped into PDMS and loaded onto a porous substrate to form a ZIF-8@graphyne hybrid matrix membrane. This membrane structure fully combines the advantages of metal-organic framework materials in adsorption selectivity with the characteristics of graphyne materials in molecular sieving and diffusion selectivity, effectively improving the separation performance of the membrane material in the pervaporation separation process. This technical solution provides a new design concept for constructing high-performance hybrid matrix pervaporation membranes, enriches the application forms of porous materials in the field of pervaporation membranes, and has important engineering application significance for the efficient separation and recovery of organic solvents such as bioethanol. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The key problem this invention aims to solve is to provide a method for preparing a ZIF-8@graphyne mixed matrix membrane, thereby improving the diffusion selectivity of ZIF-8 and enhancing the adsorption of alcohols, thus further improving the performance of the preferential alcohol-permeable membrane in alcohol recovery. The specific technical solution is as follows:
[0008] A ZIF-8@graphyne mixed matrix membrane is characterized by comprising three layers, from top to bottom: a mixed matrix layer, a pore-filling layer, and a lower porous base membrane support layer. The mixed matrix layer is located on the upper surface of the porous base membrane. During preparation, the mixed matrix penetrates downwards from the upper surface of the porous base membrane into the porous base membrane to form a pore-filling layer. In other words, the mixed matrix layer penetrates into the upper part of the porous base membrane, and the thickness of the pore-filling layer is less than the thickness of the entire base membrane. Below the pore-filling layer is the remaining lower part of the porous base membrane, i.e., the lower porous base membrane support layer. The mixed matrix layer is a composite layer with ZIF-8@graphyne material as the dispersed phase and an organic polymer as the dispersed phase. The ZIF-8@graphyne material is dispersed in a cross-linked organic polymer generated by the cross-linking reaction of the organic polymer and a cross-linking agent. The mixed matrix layer and the pore-filling layer together constitute a selective separation layer.
[0009] Specifically, the particle size range of the ZIF-8@graphyne is 20 nm to 100 nm to ensure uniform dispersion in the film and the formation of continuous transport channels; the thickness of the pore filling layer is 1-20 μm, the thickness of the mixed matrix layer is 1-20 μm, and the thickness of the selective separation layer composed of the pore filling layer and the mixed matrix layer is 2-40 μm.
[0010] The ZIF-8@graphyne material is prepared by in-situ composite of ZIF-8 material and graphyne. The graphyne is one or more of graphitic monoyne and graphitic diyne; the ZIF-8 material has a crystal structure composed of zinc metal nodes and organic ligands, and has a regular pore system and excellent thermochemical stability; surface-modified ZIF-8 can also be used to further improve its interfacial compatibility with polymers.
[0011] Preferably, the porous base membrane is an organic polymer membrane, an inorganic membrane, or an organic / inorganic hybrid membrane, with an average pore size of 10-100 nm; the porous base membrane is in the form of a flat plate, a tubular membrane, or a hollow fiber membrane.
[0012] The preparation method of ZIF-8@graphyne hybrid matrix membrane includes the following steps:
[0013] Step a: The metal salt corresponding to ZIF-8, the organic ligand corresponding to ZIF-8, the acetylene synthesis catalyst and the graphdiyne monomer are added to the solvent and reacted under solvothermal conditions. They are mixed in a certain proportion, sonicated to completely dissolve, and then placed in a high-temperature oven to react for a period of time. After centrifugation, the precipitate is taken and washed with solvent to obtain ZIF-8@graphdiyne material.
[0014] Step b: Disperse the ZIF-8@graphyne material obtained in step a in a crosslinking agent and sonicate it for 2-24 h to make it uniformly dispersed. Then add the organic polymer and mix it evenly to prepare a casting solution.
[0015] Step c: The casting solution obtained in step b is added to the membrane surface to form a film, and then heated at 80°C for 8 hours to fully crosslink, thus obtaining the ZIF-8@graphyne mixed matrix membrane.
[0016] Specifically, the metal salt mentioned in step a is one or more of zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn(NO3)2·6H2O), zinc acetate hexahydrate (Zn(OAc)2·6H2O), and zinc oxide (ZnO), and the organic ligand is 2-methylimidazole with a concentration of 30 mg / mL.
[0017] Specifically, the graphynyne monomer mentioned in step a is one or more of 1,3,5-triethynylbenzene (TEB), tris(4-ethynylphenyl)amine (TEPA), 1,3,5-tris-(4-ethynylphenyl)benzene (Ext-TEB), or hexaethynylbenzene (HEB); the yne synthesis catalyst is one or more of copper hydroxide (Cu(OH)2) or copper acetate (Cu(CH3COO)2); the concentration of the yne synthesis catalyst is 0.9 mg / mL; the reaction temperature in the high-temperature oven is 60-120 ℃, and the reaction time is 2-8 h.
[0018] Specifically, the concentration of the graphyne monomer in step a is 7.2 mg / mL, and the concentration of the metal salt corresponding to ZIF-8 is 12 mg / mL; the solvent is selected from one or more of methanol, ethanol, or n-propanol.
[0019] Specifically, the organic polymers mentioned in step b are all one or more of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), polyether block polyamide (PEBA), polyphenylmethylsiloxane (PPMS), polytrifluoropropylmethylsiloxane (PTFMS), or polytrimethylsiloxyacetylenic acid (PTMSP); the crosslinking agent is one or more of polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS), tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), propyl orthosilicate (TPOS), vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES), ethyltriethoxysilane (ETES), or trifluoropropyltriethoxysilane (TFPTES); and the mass ratio of the organic polymer to the crosslinking agent is 6:1.
[0020] Specifically, in step b, the mass ratio of ZIF-8@graphyne material to organic polymer is 1:2000-1:200.
[0021] Specifically, the film-forming method described in step c is a blade coating method with a coating speed of 20 cm / s.
[0022] The application of the ZIF-8@graphyne mixed matrix membrane of this invention separates bio-alcohols from aqueous solutions or fermentation broths through pervaporation.
[0023] This invention prepares a hybrid matrix membrane by constructing a nanomaterial by combining ZIF-8 and graphyne and incorporating it into an organic polymer matrix. ZIF-8 provides a tunable microporous structure and abundant mass transfer channels, while the introduction of graphyne effectively enhances the diffusion selectivity of the material. Compared to traditional pure polymer membranes, with the same membrane thickness, the separation factor of the ZIF-8@graphyne nanomaterial is increased by 30%-50% due to the richer alcohol-loving sites and more ordered separation channels provided by the ZIF-8@graphyne nanomaterial. Compared to traditional hybrid matrix membranes filled with single ZIF-8 or pure graphyne, the ZIF-8@graphyne nanomaterial of this invention significantly improves the permeate flux and separation selectivity of the membrane with the same filler content. This structure provides a new design concept for constructing high-performance alcohol-preferential permeate hybrid matrix membranes and expands the application of graphyne in the field of pervaporation separation.
