Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of catalytic membrane technology for water treatment, and specifically relates to a simultaneous filtration catalytic device that promotes conductive confined membrane catalysis by water droplet triboelectric coupling PMS. Background Technology
[0002] Water treatment technology is crucial for ensuring ecological security and human health. Current water treatment technologies primarily rely on gravitational potential energy or pumps for energy, inevitably resulting in energy loss. Collecting these underutilized micro-energy sources and applying them to membrane treatment processes would significantly promote the low-carbon and high-efficiency aspects of water treatment technology.
[0003] In recent years, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have attracted attention for their ability to harvest micro-energy from the environment through contact charging and electrostatic induction. In electrocatalytic reactions, the high-voltage characteristics of TENGs, often overlooked, can significantly influence mass transport and molecular transfer at two-phase interfaces. Particularly in confined spaces, high voltage can polarize matter around the interface, significantly altering the adhesion of matter to the surface and internal mass transfer under the combined effects of electrophoresis and electric fields. In this context, utilizing high-voltage pulsed electricity captured from the environment at the microscopic molecular scale can optimize molecular arrangement within the nanoscale confinement domain to achieve selective mass transfer and promote catalytic reactions in membranes. Simultaneously, the presence of the pulsed voltage also inhibits the adsorption of pollutants on the membrane surface and within the membrane pores, thereby improving the membrane's antifouling performance.
[0004] Therefore, by utilizing the pulsed electrical signals generated by the friction between the droplets collected during the permeation process and the triboelectric plate 7, and then transmitting these signals through wires to the interior of the conductive confinement membrane 1, it is possible to simultaneously control pollutants of different sizes and types on the membrane surface and within the membrane pores, and to promote the generation of active substances during membrane filtration. Compared to traditional electrochemical reactions, the nanoconfinement effect amplifies the interfacial molecular motion induced by transient pulse electricity, thereby effectively degrading pollutants without requiring high current densities. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To alleviate fouling issues in membrane filtration and improve the removal efficiency of catalytic filtration, this invention provides a green triboelectric pulse cleaning strategy based on droplet energy. The clean energy generated by the contact separation between droplets and the triboelectric power generation plate 7 enhances the ability of PMS to degrade pollutants during conductive catalytic membrane filtration and improves the membrane's antifouling performance.
[0006] The technical solution adopted in this invention is:
[0007] A simultaneous filtration catalytic device for promoting conductive confined membrane catalysis by water droplet triboelectric coupling PMS includes a filtered water collection device, a droplet controller, a triboelectric generator plate, and a conductive confined membrane.
[0008] The conductive confinement membrane is subjected to cross-flow filtration via a cross-flow filtration pump.
[0009] The conductive confinement membrane is fixed in the membrane filtration device.
[0010] The filtered water collection device is located below the membrane filtration device and is used to collect the filtered water after the membrane.
[0011] The bottom of the filtered water collection device is equipped with a droplet controller, which uses a medical syringe to control the stable flow of water sample droplets. Below the droplet controller is a dust cover, inside which is placed a triboelectric power generation plate. The triboelectric power generation plate is located below the filtered water collection device and directly opposite the water outlet of the droplet controller. The triboelectric power generation plate can be made of various materials suitable for triboelectric nano-power generation, and it becomes charged through friction with the water droplets falling from the droplet controller.
[0012] The triboelectric power generation plate includes a triboelectric PVDF plate, with an upper conductive copper sheet on the upper surface and a lower conductive copper tape on the lower surface. The upper conductive copper sheet is connected to a conductive confinement film via a wire.
[0013] The triboelectric plate is fixed on the base, and the vertical distance between the water droplets and the triboelectric plate is adjusted by adjusting the height of the droplet controller.
[0014] The conductive confinement film comprises conductive nanosheets and catalytic nanosheets; the conductive confinement film is formed by stacking conductive nanosheets and catalytic nanosheets. The conductive confinement film is prepared by vacuum self-assembly of conductive nanosheets and catalytic nanosheets.
[0015] The method for preparing the conductive nanosheets is as follows: Lithium fluoride is dissolved in hydrochloric acid by stirring, then stirred on a constant-temperature magnetic stirrer. MAX material is added, and Al atoms are selectively etched away. After centrifugation and washing, multilayer MXene is obtained. Then, the multilayer MXene is placed in a centrifuge tube, filled with nitrogen to remove oxygen, sonicated, centrifuged, and the supernatant is collected and dried to prepare a single-layer MXene material.
[0016] The method for preparing the catalytic nanosheets 11 involves adding 27 mg of Co(NO3)2, 44 mg of Fe(NO3)2, and 330 mg of (NH4)2MoO4 to 100 mL of ultrapure water. After adjusting the pH to 9.6, a flocculent precipitate is formed. The reaction mixture is then placed in a hydrothermal reactor at 80 °C and reacted for 24 hours. The resulting precipitate is then rinsed three times with deionized water and dried overnight in a vacuum oven.
