Abstract
Description
A method for preparing a nanofiltration membrane for regulating membrane surface charge Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nanofiltration membranes, in particular to a method for preparing a nanofiltration membrane for regulating membrane surface charge. Background Art
[0002] Water separation and purification technologies not only conserve limited water resources and alleviate increasing water shortages, but also reduce wastewater discharge and water pollution. Among the many water separation methods, membrane separation technology is a green and energy-saving technology with advantages such as simple operation, high treatment efficiency, and low cost.
[0003] In membrane separation technology, nanofiltration membranes are membranes with pore sizes ranging from 1 to 100 nm that retain organic compounds and multivalent ions with molecular weights between 100 and 2000 Da. Conventional nanofiltration membranes are typically based on a porous base membrane, with a polyamide separation layer formed on its surface via interfacial polycondensation or condensation methods. The resulting composite membranes' water treatment performance is primarily determined by their effective pore size and charge density. By manipulating the reactive monomers in the aqueous or oil phase during interfacial polymerization, the salt rejection and water permeability of the polyamide separation layer can be effectively regulated. These methods include: One approach involves modifying the nanofiltration membrane with zwitterionic liquids in the aqueous phase to increase the crosslinking and charge tunability of the polyamide separation layer. However, the resulting high crosslinking increases water mass transfer resistance; another approach involves grafting nanofiltration membrane surfaces to adjust surface properties. However, surface grafting affects pore size, pore size distribution, and thickness, leading to decreased membrane permeability. Therefore, achieving high ion rejection without sacrificing water flux remains a significant challenge.
[0004] In summary, it is of great significance to improve the above defects and prepare a nanofiltration membrane for regulating the surface charge of the membrane.
[0005] Summary of the Invention
[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a nanofiltration membrane for regulating the surface charge of the membrane, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.
[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0008] A method for preparing a nanofiltration membrane for regulating membrane surface charge comprises the following steps:
[0009] Step 1: (1) piperazine, fiber additive, ionic liquid, and polyvinyl pyrrolidone are sequentially added to deionized water to obtain an aqueous phase; (2) trimesoyl chloride is added to n-hexane as an oil phase;
[0010] Step 2: Immerse the base film in the water phase for 1 to 3 minutes and remove excess water; transfer to the oil phase for polymerization for 2 to 3 minutes and remove excess solution; cure at 80°C to 85°C for 5 to 6 minutes and immerse in deionized water for 1 to 2 days to obtain a composite base film;
[0011] Step 3: The composite base membrane is first placed in a sodium hypochlorite solution for post-treatment and cleaning; then transferred to a sodium hydrosulfide solution for secondary post-treatment, washed to neutrality, soaked in deionized water for 1 to 3 days, and dried to obtain a nanofiltration membrane.
[0012] In a further embodiment, in the aqueous phase, the concentration of piperazine is 0.85wt% to 0.9wt%, the concentration of the fiber additive is 0.15wt% to 0.2wt%, the concentration of the ionic liquid is 0.4wt% to 0.5wt%, and the concentration of polyvinyl pyrrolidone is 0.05wt% to 0.06wt%; in the oil phase, the concentration of trimesoyl chloride is 0.15 to 0.2wt%.
[0013] In a further embodiment, the ionic liquid includes one or both of 1-aminoethyl-3-methylimidazolium glycine salt and 1-aminoethyl-3-methylimidazolium alanine salt.
[0014] In a further embodiment, the preparation process of the fiber additive is:
[0015] (1) 1-allyl-4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-piperazine and epichlorohydrin are mixed, potassium carbonate is added and stirred evenly, and the mixture is stirred and reacted at 80° C. to 85° C. for 8 to 10 hours, and purified to obtain epoxy-modified allylpiperazine;
[0016] (2) irradiating the polyethylene fiber with a cobalt source, placing it in a mixture of N,N-dimethylformamide containing epoxy-modified allylpiperazine, performing a grafting reaction at 50° C. to 70° C. for 1 to 3 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere, washing, and drying to obtain a grafted polyethylene fiber;
[0017] (3) placing the grafted polyethylene fiber in a 0.2 mol / L to 0.3 mol / L hydrochloric acid dioxane solution, stirring at 30° C. to 35° C. for 30 to 60 minutes, washing, and freeze-drying to obtain a fiber additive.
[0018] In a further embodiment, in the raw materials of the epoxy-modified allyl piperazine, the molar ratio of 1-allyl-4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-piperazine, epichlorohydrin and potassium carbonate is 1:(1.2-1.5):1.
[0019] In a further embodiment, the total dose of the cobalt source irradiation is 20 kGy to 30 kGy; and the concentration of the epoxy-modified allylpiperazine in the N,N-dimethylformamide mixed solution is 5 wt % to 10 wt %.
[0020] In a further embodiment, in step 3, the sodium hypochlorite solution is a sodium hypochlorite solution having a pH of 12.5 to 13.2 obtained by dissolving sodium hypochlorite in deionized water; the sodium hydrosulfide solution is a saturated sodium hydrosulfide solution obtained by dissolving sodium hydrosulfide in ethanol; the temperature of the primary post-treatment is 25° C. to 35° C., and the time is 40 to 48 hours; the temperature of the secondary post-treatment is 45° C. to 50° C., and the time is 1.5 to 2.5 hours.
[0021] In a further embodiment, the polyvinyl pyrrolidone in the aqueous phase is pre-modified, and the modification process is:
[0022] (1) L-vinylglycine and 6-(diethylamino)pyridine-3-carboxaldehyde are sequentially added to ethanol and reacted at 60°C to 65°C for 3 to 4 hours; an ethanol mixture containing an alkyl halide is added; the temperature is raised to 80 to 85°C, the reaction is carried out for 1 to 2 hours, and the mixture is purified to obtain a vinyl quaternary ammonium salt;
[0023] (2) adding polyvinyl pyrrolidone to deionized water, heating to 50° C., adding vinyl quaternary ammonium salt and vinyl imidazole, stirring, and cooling to obtain a mixture; placing the mixture in a microwave reactor, setting the microwave power to 750-800 W, and reacting for 1-2 minutes; and purifying to obtain modified polyvinyl pyrrolidone.
[0024] In a further embodiment, the molar ratio of L-vinylglycine, 6-(diethylamino)pyridine-3-carboxaldehyde, and alkyl halide is 1:1:(1-1.1); the mass ratio of polyvinylpyrrolidone to vinyl quaternary ammonium salt and vinyl imidazole is 100:(6-10):(2-4).
[0025] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0026] In the scheme (1), an ionic liquid containing imidazolium cations and amino acid anions is introduced into the aqueous phase. The ionic liquid has charge properties and has adjustable charge performance when used for ion separation. By controlling its content and controlling the surface charge by controlling the pH during the water treatment process, the charge is adjustable and the separation efficiency is improved. The nanofiltration membrane of the present application is positively charged when the pH is less than 6.5±0.2 and negatively charged when the pH is greater than 6.5±0.2; thereby, the ion retention rate is improved.
[0027] (2) Since the ionic liquid contains amino groups with reactivity, it can crosslink the surface of the composite base membrane; however, it makes the surface membrane layer have a high degree of crosslinking, reduces the pore size, increases water resistance, and needs to further improve the water flux; therefore, the scheme further introduces fiber additives to increase water permeability; wherein, the fiber additive is based on polyethylene fiber, firstly grafting epoxy-modified allyl piperazine on the surface, and then the epoxy group is ring-opened in hydrochloric acid to prepare it. The introduction of polyethylene fiber can form a three-dimensional network structure in the polyamide nanofiltration membrane, increase the micropore and pore connectivity of the composite base membrane, and increase the surface roughness, so that the nanofiltration membrane has better water flux and interception separation. At the same time, its introduction increases the pressure resistance and durability of the nanofiltration membrane. And because polyethylene fiber is hydrophobic, there is a hydrophobic segment inside the composite base membrane, thereby increasing the water permeability of the nanofiltration membrane. In this scheme, to enhance the dispersion and interfacial interaction of polyethylene fibers on the composite base membrane surface, the fibers are modified to produce fiber additives containing groups such as piperazine, C-OH, and C-Cl. This effectively disperses the fiber additive by leveraging the affinity and hydrogen bonding of similar groups. Furthermore, the C-Cl residues generate sulfhydryl groups during a subsequent post-treatment with a sodium hydrosulfide solution. These sulfhydryl groups' chelating properties for metal ions enhance the retention rate.
[0028] In the (3) scheme, a small amount of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) is introduced into the aqueous phase to increase the crosslinking and stability of the composite base membrane. At the same time, its introduction can affect the interfacial polymerization process: there is a van der Waals force between polyvinyl pyrrolidone and piperazine, which slows down the diffusion of piperazine on the base membrane surface, promotes the uniform distribution of pore size, and improves water flux and retention rate. In a further scheme, polyvinyl pyrrolidone is modified with vinyl quaternary ammonium salt and vinyl imidazole. Due to the grafting of imidazole, the affinity with ionic liquid is further improved, and the uniform distribution of ionic liquid is promoted. At the same time, the introduction of quaternary ammonium salt groups has higher ionic conductivity and can synergistically increase charge stability with ionic liquids. It also further increases ion retention and water permeability.
[0029] In the (4) scheme, the composite base membrane is post-treated once in a sodium hypochlorite solution and twice in a sodium bisulfide solution. In the first treatment, the uncross-linked amino groups on the surface of the composite base membrane serve as the action sites of sodium hypochlorite chlorination, thereby inducing partial hydrolysis of the polyamide, generating loose narrow pores, and increasing the surface roughness, thereby improving the surface hydrophilicity; in the second treatment, the sites containing -Cl are converted into thiol groups under the action of the sodium bisulfide solution, thereby further improving the retention rate of metal ions.
