Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of water treatment materials and polymer membrane materials, and specifically discloses a metamine oxime-modified polycarbonate membrane, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] The rapid development of human society is inseparable from the efficient development and utilization of basic energy sources. Currently, we still rely primarily on fossil fuels such as oil and coal. These traditional energy sources are not only being heavily depleted, but their use also causes serious environmental pollution problems. Therefore, seeking an efficient, convenient, and clean energy source has become a common goal pursued globally. Uranium, as a key energy material, is crucial for building a greener and more efficient future society.

[0003] Uranium resources in terrestrial ores are relatively limited, while seawater contains extremely abundant uranium resources. If effectively developed and utilized, it could meet global uranium demand. However, the uranium content in seawater is extremely low, and the complex marine environment makes it highly susceptible to contamination of adsorbent materials. Therefore, inventing a separation material for the effective development of uranium reserves in seawater could not only alleviate domestic shortages of these critical energy materials but also significantly improve economic efficiency.

[0004] Amine oxime-based materials exhibit high adsorption and selectivity for extremely low concentrations of uranium ions in seawater. Adsorbents modified with amine oxime groups demonstrate highly efficient selective adsorption of uranium. However, the recovery of uranium extraction materials from seawater is also crucial. Most amine oxime-based adsorbents suffer from poor mechanical properties, low recovery rates, or high preparation costs and demanding synthesis conditions, limiting their application in seawater adsorption.

[0005] Meanwhile, porous membrane-based materials have gradually attracted attention in recent years, showing broad application prospects in marine resources and environmental fields (such as seawater desalination and oil-water separation). Compared to adsorbent materials such as particles and gels, membrane-based materials offer advantages such as morphological stability, high mechanical strength, good separation properties, and sustainable operation, making them one of the ideal materials for researching and developing the simultaneous adsorption of uranium from seawater. Polycarbonate is a chain-like polymer material and one of the five major general-purpose engineering plastics, widely used in various fields of production and daily life. Its production cost is low and it is readily available. The bisphenol structure and polycarbonate bonds in the polycarbonate chain provide it with many excellent properties, such as good thermal stability, high mechanical strength, and high cold resistance, making it a good candidate membrane material. However, it does not inherently possess uranium adsorption capacity, and polycarbonate has high hydrophobicity, which seriously affects the development and application of polycarbonate-based membranes.

[0006] Therefore, how to prepare polycarbonate-based separation membranes with excellent uranium adsorption performance, easy separation and recovery, and good recycling performance using polycarbonate as a matrix has become an urgent problem for researchers to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the prior art by providing a amine-oxime polycarbonate membrane, its preparation method, and its application. By using polycarbonate (PC) as a matrix, a membrane material is first prepared by grafting cyano groups and using a phase inversion method. Then, through in-situ amine-oxime modification, a uranium adsorption material with high adsorption capacity, excellent recyclability, and low cost is prepared.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] The first objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a metamine oxime-modified polycarbonate membrane, the method specifically comprising the following steps: (1) A certain amount of polycarbonate was dissolved in N-methylpyrrolidone, and a small amount of azobisisobutyronitrile was added as an initiator. After the polycarbonate was completely dissolved, acrylonitrile in the same proportion as the polycarbonate was added and reacted for a certain period of time. Then, the polycarbonate was washed with ultrapure water, filtered, dried and stored for later use to obtain cyanopolycarbonate (PCAN). (2) Dissolve a certain proportion of PCAN and PC in NMP and stir until dissolved to obtain casting solution; then, let the casting solution stand at room temperature for degassing treatment; (3) Before film preparation, the casting solution is ultrasonically treated; during film preparation, an appropriate amount of casting solution is poured onto a dry and flat glass plate, and the liquid film is scraped out at a uniform speed with a scraper. Then, the glass plate with the liquid film is immersed in ultrapure water. After the liquid film solidifies and falls off the glass plate, the solidified new film is transferred to clean ultrapure water for later use. (4) Wipe the surface of the membrane prepared in step (3) with filter paper and immerse the membrane completely in a mixed solution of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and sodium hydroxide for a certain period of time to carry out the amylopyrification reaction. Then soak it in ultrapure water to obtain the amylopyrified polycarbonate membrane (PCAO).

[0010] Further, in step (1), 3-5g of polycarbonate and 0.05-0.2g of initiator azobisisobutyronitrile are completely dissolved in 15-20mL of N-methylpyrrolidone, and then acrylonitrile is added. The mass ratio of acrylonitrile to polycarbonate is 1:1-4, the reaction temperature is 60-100℃, and the reaction time is 8h-12h.

[0011] Further, in step (2), PCAN and PC are dissolved in NMP with a mass ratio of 1.5:1 to 3:1, at a concentration of 79% NMP, and the solution is heated at 300 to 600 r·min.-1 Stir at a certain rate until dissolved, and let the casting solution stand at room temperature for 12-16 hours for degassing treatment.

[0012] Furthermore, in step (3), before film formation, the casting solution is subjected to ultrasonic treatment for 15-45 minutes; during film formation, a thin liquid film with a thickness of 200 μm is scraped out at a uniform speed using a film scraper, and the liquid film is exposed to air for 10-15 seconds.

[0013] Further, in step (4), the prepared membrane is completely immersed in a mixed solution of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and sodium hydroxide at 60℃~100℃ for 3h~5h, and the molar ratio of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and sodium hydroxide in the mixed solution is 3~5:2~4.

[0014] A second objective of this invention is to provide a metamidooxime-modified polycarbonate membrane prepared by the method described above, wherein the polycarbonate membrane is incorporating metamidooxime groups with specific adsorption properties for uranium through a simple and cost-effective method.

[0015] A third objective of this invention is to provide an application of the amylopyridine polycarbonate membrane prepared by the method described above in the fields of energy and materials.

[0016] Furthermore, the metamine oxime-modified polycarbonate membrane exhibits high selectivity and efficient adsorption capacity for uranium.

[0017] Furthermore, the amylated polycarbonate membrane can effectively extract uranium resources from seawater.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention utilizes polycarbonate (PC) as the matrix material, first preparing a membrane material by grafting cyano groups and employing a phase inversion method. Then, through in-situ amine oxime modification, a novel amine oxime-based adsorption and separation membrane was successfully developed. This membrane features a simple preparation method, easy recovery, good stability, and excellent recyclability. Combining the advantages of both polycarbonate and amine oxime groups, it exhibits high selectivity and efficient adsorption capacity, enabling uranium extraction in extremely low concentration seawater environments. This has significant strategic importance and practical application value in addressing uranium resource shortages. Attached Figure Description

[0054] The scope of this invention is not limited to the above embodiments; a combination of one or more embodiments can also achieve the purpose of this invention.

[0055] To further verify the superior effects of the present invention, the inventors also conducted the following experiments: Experiment 1: Demonstrating the successful preparation of a methylamine oxime carbonate membrane To ensure successful PCAO preparation, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FIR) was used to analyze PC, PCAN, and PCAO in Example 1. The samples were tested after KBr pelleting at a resolution of 4 cm⁻¹. -1 32 scans, 400cm scan range -1 -4000cm -1 .

[0056] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that the carbonate bonds contained in the PC structure have a characteristic peak at 1770 cm⁻¹. -1 Location, 1504 cm -1 The peak at 2243 cm⁻¹ is the skeletal vibration peak of the benzene ring in PC, providing excellent thermal stability and processability. PCAN contains a cyano group (-C=N) in its structure, which is visible at 2243 cm⁻¹ in its infrared spectrum. -1 The presence of the -C≡N characteristic peak at 1647 cm⁻¹ confirms this, indicating successful grafting of cyano groups onto polycarbonate. The disappearance of the cyano characteristic peak and the appearance of -C=N at 1647 cm⁻¹ in the PCAO infrared spectrum further supports this, demonstrating the successful grafting of cyano groups onto polycarbonate. -1 ) and -N-OH (933 cm -1 The characteristic peaks of the cyano group indicate that the cyano group was successfully cytosimified and the polycarbonate was successfully grafted with the cytosim group.

[0057] Experiment 2: Used to illustrate the hydrophilicity of amylopyridine carbonate membranes To further confirm the success of the membrane modification and evaluate the membrane's hydrophilic properties, the water contact angle of the membrane surface was studied and measured using a contact angle meter (SL200KB, Shanghai Solon Technology Information Co., Ltd.). Each membrane sample from the examples was tested three times at different locations.

[0058] Depend on Figure 2It is known that the amine oxime group helps to increase the hydrophilicity of the material.

[0059] Experiment 3: To illustrate the enhanced adsorption performance of amylopyridine carbonate membranes Prepare 50 μg·mL -1 UO2 2+ 200 mL of aqueous solution was used. PCAO samples from the example were cut to appropriate sizes and placed in the membrane chamber. Before starting the adsorption test, 1 mL of the solution was taken to measure the initial concentration, recorded as c0. The adsorption test was then started under the following conditions: pressure 0.3 MPa, circulating feed solution. After 3 hours of adsorption, 1 mL of the feed solution was taken and the UO2 concentration was measured. 2+ Concentration denoted as c t UO2 before and after adsorption was measured using a UV spectrophotometer. 2+ Concentration, tested at a wavelength of 652nm. First, prepare UO2. 2+ A standard curve for subsequent adsorption of UO2 2+ Concentration calculation. UO2 2+ The standard curve test is as follows: The concentration is prepared at 100 μg·mL. -1 UO2 2+ The solution was then pipetted into 15 mL centrifuge tubes at concentrations of 0 mL, 0.2 mL, 0.4 mL, 0.6 mL, 0.8 mL, and 1 mL, respectively. 0.5 mL of 0.1 mol·L⁻¹ solution was added to each centrifuge tube sequentially. -1 HCl, 1 mL 0.05 mol·L -1 Na2EDTA, 1 mL 0.5 mg / mL -1 The azoarsine III solution was prepared by pipetting 7.5 mL, 7.3 mL, 7.1 mL, 6.9 mL, 6.7 mL, and 6.5 mL of ultrapure water into the corresponding centrifuge tubes to prepare UO2. 2+ Concentrations of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 μg·mL -1 UO2 2+ Standard solution.

[0060] Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that the polycarbonate membrane modified by amylopyridine oxime reacts with UO2 after adsorption due to the interaction between the amylopyridine oxime groups and UO2. 2+ The membrane underwent a color change upon bonding, while the unmodified polycarbonate showed no significant change. This demonstrates that PCAO can significantly enhance the adsorption effect on uranium.

[0061] Experiment 4: To illustrate the reusability of the amylopyridine carbonate membrane. UO2 was adsorbed using a mixed solution of 200 mL of 0.1 mol / L H2O2 and 1 mol / L Na2CO3. 2+Desorption experiments were conducted on PCAO2, with a desorption time of 20 min. Subsequently, five adsorption-desorption cycles were performed on PCAO2.

[0062] Depend on Figure 4 It can be seen that as the number of cycles increases, PCAO2 affects UO2. 2+ The adsorption capacity will decrease slightly. The second adsorption capacity was 98.04% of the initial value. After five cycles, due to partial blockage of the membrane pores, this value dropped to 86.8%. It can be seen that although PCAO exhibits some performance degradation, it still demonstrates satisfactory recycling efficiency.

[0063] The above experiments demonstrate that the successful introduction of amine oxime groups into the polycarbonate matrix membrane significantly improves the hydrophilicity of the membrane material. The amine oxime groups can synergistically interact with uranium, thereby endowing polycarbonate with excellent uranium adsorption properties. Combining the advantages of polycarbonate and amine oxime groups, the material also exhibits good recyclability.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.
