Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of reverse osmosis membrane technology, specifically relating to a high-flux, high-desalination, and fouling-resistant reverse osmosis membrane, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Polyamide reverse osmosis membranes are widely used in seawater desalination, municipal wastewater purification, and industrial ultrapure water production. However, the development of high-performance reverse osmosis membranes still faces many serious challenges: First, it is difficult to achieve a synergistic improvement in water flux and salt rejection rate of polyamide reverse osmosis membranes. This problem stems from the structural characteristics of polyamide reverse osmosis membranes: while increasing the density of polyamide reverse osmosis membranes is beneficial to enhancing the salt ion rejection capacity of the desalination layer, it will lead to a decrease in the connectivity of water molecule transport channels, thereby reducing water flux; conversely, reducing the density of polyamide reverse osmosis membranes to increase water flux will inevitably sacrifice the desalination rate. Second, polyamide reverse osmosis membranes are susceptible to contaminant adhesion, among which membrane fouling caused by small molecule surfactants (sodium dodecyl sulfate, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, etc.) and large molecule organic contaminants (proteins, etc.) is particularly prominent. The adsorption or deposition of contaminants on the membrane surface will lead to membrane flux decline, increased operating pressure, and increased cleaning frequency, which will not only significantly increase operating costs but also shorten the membrane's service life.

[0003] Existing antifouling reverse osmosis membranes mostly focus on the antifouling properties against a single pollutant. For example, Chinese patent CN 115463548 B discloses an antifouling reverse osmosis membrane and its preparation method, which includes the following steps: (1) preparation of antifouling coating liquid, including the following raw materials in 100% by weight percentage: 0.4-1% of diepoxide compounds, 0.05-2% of cyclodextrin or its derivatives, 0.01-0.2% of diamino-substituted anthracene compounds, and the balance being alcohol solvent and water; (2) coating the antifouling coating liquid onto one surface of a polyamide reverse osmosis membrane, and obtaining an antifouling reverse osmosis membrane with a modified cyclodextrin coating on the surface after heat treatment; this technical solution has good antifouling properties against small molecule surfactants (hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide), but this technical solution is a surface coating method, which has the risk of easy peeling, which may cause a significant decrease in the antifouling efficiency of the membrane element during long-term use.

[0004] Chinese Patent CN 113634130 B discloses a fouling-resistant reverse osmosis membrane, its preparation method, and its application. The reverse osmosis membrane comprises a support layer, a separation layer, and a fouling-resistant layer stacked sequentially. The separation layer is a polyamide layer, and the fouling-resistant layer is a polyvinylpyrrolidone layer, wherein the polyvinylpyrrolidone is cross-linked with the polyamide through carbon-carbon double bonds. This technical solution exhibits good antifouling properties against large molecular organic pollutants (bovine serum albumin). However, protein molecules are relatively large and mainly deposit on the membrane surface through hydrophobic interactions or steric hindrance, resulting in a weaker direct pore-clogging effect compared to small molecule surfactants. Furthermore, protein fouling is mostly surface deposition, making it relatively easy to remove through hydrodynamic washing. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention aims to provide a high-flux, high-desalination, and fouling-resistant reverse osmosis membrane, its preparation method, and its applications.

The primary composite membrane is placed in a methanol-water solution containing itaconic acid-γ-cyclodextrin unsaturated monomer and photoinitiator.

[0036] The third aspect of this invention provides an application of a high-flux, high-desalination, fouling-resistant reverse osmosis membrane in the field of water treatment.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: Some existing technologies claim that grafting amino acids onto the membrane surface can improve the water flux and fouling resistance of reverse osmosis membranes. However, the inventors found in their experiments that reverse osmosis membranes obtained solely by grafting amino acids not only have limited improvements in water flux and fouling resistance, but also have low desalination rates.

[0038] This invention creatively employs polyglycerol, crotonic acid, and amino acids to prepare a supramolecular solvent, which has three functions: First, it can regulate the interfacial polymerization process of polyamide separation membranes through hydrogen bonding with polyamine monomers, resulting in polyamide separation membranes with excellent hydrophilicity and narrow pore size distribution, thereby enabling reverse osmosis membranes to achieve both high flux and high desalination rate; Second, it can consume unreacted acyl chloride groups, avoiding the generation of carboxyl groups in polyamide separation membranes, thereby improving the fouling resistance of reverse osmosis membranes; Third, it introduces polymerizable double bonds on the surface of polyamide separation membranes, allowing itaconic acid-γ-cyclodextrin unsaturated monomers to be grafted onto the surface of polyamide separation membranes under the action of photoinitiators, thereby further improving the flux and fouling resistance of reverse osmosis membranes.

[0039] In this invention, an itaconic acid-γ-cyclodextrin unsaturated monomer was prepared by esterification of itaconic acid and γ-cyclodextrin. Grafting it onto the surface of a polyamide separation membrane not only further improves the hydrophilicity and fouling resistance of the reverse osmosis membrane, but also the unique three-dimensional cavity structure of cyclodextrin facilitates the permeation of water molecules, thereby further improving the water flux of the reverse osmosis membrane.

[0040] The fouling resistance claimed by existing reverse osmosis membranes is usually for a single pollutant. The reverse osmosis membrane provided by this invention has excellent fouling resistance to cationic small molecule surfactants, anionic small molecule surfactants and macromolecular organic pollutants. As verified by experiments, after running for 8 hours in a mixed aqueous solution containing 1000 ppm bovine serum albumin, 200 ppm hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide or 200 ppm sodium dodecyl sulfate, the water flux decrease rate was <7% and the water flux recovery rate was greater than 98%.

[0069] Performance testing 1. Desalination rate: After the reverse osmosis membrane is installed in the membrane tank and pre-pressurized at 0.5 MPa for 0.5 h, the concentration changes of NaCl in the raw NaCl solution with an initial concentration of 2000 ppm and the permeate are measured within 1 h at a pressure of 1.55 MPa and a temperature of 25 °C. The desalination rate is then calculated using the following formula: R = (C p -C f ) / C p×100%, where R is the desalination rate, and C is the desalination rate. p C represents the concentration of NaCl in the original solution. f The concentration of NaCl in the permeate is given.

[0070] 2. Fouling Resistance: The reverse osmosis membrane was installed in the membrane tank and pre-pressurized at 0.5 MPa for 0.5 h. The water permeation rate of the reverse osmosis membrane was measured within 1 h at a pressure of 1.55 MPa and a temperature of 25℃. The test solution was a 2000 ppm NaCl aqueous solution. The water flux was calculated using the following formula: Q1=J / (A·t), where J is the water permeation rate (L), and Q1 is the water flux (L / m³). 2 h), A is the effective membrane area of ​​the reverse osmosis membrane (m²) 2 ), where t is time (h).

[0071] The test solutions were replaced with: a mixed aqueous solution of NaCl and bovine serum albumin (NaCl concentration 2000 ppm, bovine serum albumin concentration 1000 ppm); a mixed aqueous solution of NaCl and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (NaCl concentration 2000 ppm, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide concentration 200 ppm); and a mixed aqueous solution of NaCl and sodium dodecyl sulfate (NaCl concentration 2000 ppm, sodium dodecyl sulfate concentration 1000 ppm). (Concentration of 200 ppm); After running for 8 hours, the water flux of the reverse osmosis membrane was measured as Q2; Then, after rinsing the reverse osmosis membrane with clean water for 0.5 hours, the water flux Q3 was measured when the circulating liquid was a 2000 ppm NaCl aqueous solution under the conditions of pressure 1.55 MPa and temperature 25℃; The water flux reduction rate of the reverse osmosis membrane was obtained by the following formula: D=(Q1-Q2) / Q1×100%; The water flux recovery rate of the reverse osmosis membrane after water washing was obtained by the following formula: H=Q3 / Q1×100%.

[0072] The test results are shown in Table 1 below. Figure 1-4 As shown.

[0073]

[0074] As shown in Table 1, the reverse osmosis membranes prepared in Examples 1 and 2 possess both high flux, high desalination capacity, and fouling resistance, with a desalination rate >99.5% and a water flux >67 L / m³. 2 After running for 8 hours, the water flux of a mixed aqueous solution containing 1000 ppm bovine serum albumin, 200 ppm hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, or 200 ppm sodium dodecyl sulfate decreased by less than 7%, and the water flux recovery rate was greater than 98%.

[0075] The changes in the composition of the supramolecular solvents in Comparative Examples 1-3 resulted in a decrease in the water flux and fouling resistance of the prepared reverse osmosis membranes. In Comparative Example 4, the absence of supramolecular solvents in the aqueous solution resulted in a decrease in the desalination rate, water flux, and fouling resistance of the prepared reverse osmosis membrane. In Comparative Example 5, the aqueous solution lacked supramolecular solvents, and the grafted itaconic acid-γ-cyclodextrin unsaturated monomer was replaced with grafted L-arginine. The resulting reverse osmosis membrane exhibited the worst water flux and fouling resistance. In Comparative Example 6, the unsaturated monomer of grafted itaconic acid-γ-cyclodextrin was replaced with grafted polyvinylpyrrolidone. Although the fouling resistance of the prepared reverse osmosis membrane did not decrease significantly, the water flux decreased significantly. In Comparative Example 7, the reverse osmosis membrane prepared without grafted itaconic acid-γ-cyclodextrin unsaturated monomers exhibited decreased water flux and fouling resistance.

[0076] The above description represents the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
