Abstract
Description
A polymer reverse osmosis membrane and its preparation method and application Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of osmotic membranes, for example, a polymer reverse osmosis membrane and its preparation method and application. Background Art
[0002] Reverse osmosis membrane is an artificial semipermeable membrane with certain characteristics made by simulating biological semipermeable membrane. It is the core component of reverse osmosis technology. The principle of reverse osmosis technology is to separate substances and water under the action of an osmotic pressure higher than that of the solution, based on the fact that other substances cannot pass through the semipermeable membrane. It is widely used in many fields such as high-purity water preparation in the electronics industry, medical water preparation, seawater desalination, brackish water desalination, and sewage recycling.
[0003] At present, the mainstream reverse osmosis membranes on the market are still mainly non-woven reverse osmosis membranes; however, due to the reasons of the non-woven material itself, the operating environment temperature of non-woven reverse osmosis membranes can only be below 50°C, and their solvent resistance is poor, and their long-term operating stability is weak; based on this, some researchers use polyolefin (such as polyethylene) microporous membranes as the substrate, and conduct interfacial condensation reaction on its surface to form a dense functional layer, thereby preparing a low-cost, simpler structure and certain permeability polymer reverse osmosis membrane.
[0004] However, polyolefin microporous membranes are generally thin and soft, not resistant to high pressure, and have very limited usage scenarios. They are prone to deformation under high pressure, blocking the water production flow channel, thereby affecting the flux of the water treatment component. Compared with traditional reverse osmosis membranes, membrane bags of the same length have greater concentration difference polarization, affecting the life of the component; and in the component manufacturing process, polyolefin water treatment membranes are prone to static electricity. They are soft and thin, making it inconvenient to fold the membrane in half, and wrinkles are easily generated when they are picked up, affecting the efficiency of component manufacturing and causing a decrease in the yield rate.
[0005] Summary of the Invention
[0006] The following is a summary of the subject matter described in detail herein. This summary is not intended to limit the scope of the claims.
[0007] The present application provides a polymer reverse osmosis membrane, a preparation method and application thereof. By arranging a polymer fiber support layer and a polymer fiber hydrophilic layer between a polyolefin base membrane and a dense functional layer, the obtained polymer reverse osmosis membrane has the advantages of thin thickness, strong solvent resistance and strong pressure resistance while maintaining a high desalination rate. This can ensure that the components containing it have a high flux, can adapt to more stringent environments such as high temperature, high pressure, and organic solvent-containing wastewater treatment, and can operate stably for a long time.
[0008] In a first aspect, the present application provides a polymer reverse osmosis membrane, comprising a polyolefin-based membrane, wherein a polymer fiber support layer, a polymer fiber hydrophilic layer, and a dense functional layer are sequentially provided on the surface of the polyolefin-based membrane;
[0009] The polymer fiber support layer and the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer have an overlapping area in the thickness direction of the polymer reverse osmosis membrane.
[0010] First, the polymer reverse osmosis membrane provided in the present application includes a polyolefin-based membrane, the surface of which is sequentially provided with a polymer fiber support layer, a polymer fiber hydrophilic layer, and a dense functional layer; wherein the polyolefin-based membrane serves as a substrate and has a certain thickness, porosity, pore size, and mechanical strength, which can reduce water mass transfer resistance, improve the flux of the reverse osmosis membrane, and have good solvent resistance;
[0011] Secondly, a polymer fiber support layer is preferentially provided on the surface of the polyolefin-based membrane. The polymer fiber support layer has excellent chemical resistance and mechanical strength, thereby improving the solvent resistance, pressure resistance and rigidity of the entire polymer reverse osmosis membrane, facilitating subsequent component processing and manufacturing, and improving the component yield rate;
[0012] Thirdly, a polymer fiber hydrophilic layer is provided on the surface of the polymer fiber support layer. The polymer fiber hydrophilic layer has moderate hydrophilicity. On the basis of maintaining the high porosity of the polymer reverse osmosis membrane, the pore size of the polymer reverse osmosis membrane is further reduced, providing favorable conditions for the subsequent preparation of a dense functional layer by interfacial polymerization, and ensuring the integrity of the dense functional layer, thereby maintaining a high desalination rate.
[0013] At the same time, the present application also stipulates that the polymer fiber support layer and the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer have an overlapping area in the thickness direction of the polymer reverse osmosis membrane. In the overlapping area, the fibers of the polymer fiber support layer and the fibers of the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer are interwoven together. As a result, the polymer fiber support layer and the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer can be tightly combined through physical embedding and chemical action (intermolecular force) at the contact surface between the fibers without obvious stratification, thereby ensuring long-term stable operation without stratification, and also helping to form an integrated asymmetric pore structure, shortening the water passage path, and improving the flux of the component;
[0014] Finally, a dense functional layer is provided on the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer, which can ensure that the entire polymer reverse osmosis membrane has excellent water treatment function;
[0015] In summary, the present application provides a polymer reverse osmosis membrane that has a smaller water mass transfer resistance and thus has a higher flux by adopting the above-mentioned four-layer structure. At the same time, it also has excellent solvent resistance and pressure resistance, thereby ensuring that the water treatment components containing it can adapt to more stringent application scenarios and operate stably for a long time.
[0016] It should be noted that the "overlapping area" mentioned in the present application refers to the partial area of the polymer fiber support layer in the thickness direction and the partial area of the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer in the thickness direction overlapping to form a whole that is difficult to separate, that is, there is no situation where all areas of the polymer fiber support layer in the thickness direction completely overlap with the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer (the polymer fiber support layer is completely embedded in the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer), nor is there a situation where all areas of the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer in the thickness direction completely overlap with the polymer fiber support layer (the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer is completely embedded in the polymer fiber support layer).
[0017] In one embodiment, the total thickness of the polyolefin base membrane, the polymer fiber support layer and the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer is not higher than 40 μm, for example, 38 μm, 36 μm, 34 μm, 32 μm, 30 μm, 28 μm, 26 μm, 24 μm, 22 μm or 20 μm.
[0018] It should be noted that the above-mentioned "total thickness of the polyolefin base film, the polymer fiber support layer and the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer" refers to the actual measured thickness of the three. Since there is an overlapping area between the polymer fiber support layer and the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer, the total thickness of the three is not a simple accumulation of the thicknesses of the three, but the repeated accumulation thickness of the overlapping area should be eliminated. For example, the polyolefin base film is set to 5μm, the thickness of the polymer fiber support layer and the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer are 10μm and 5μm respectively, and the thickness of the overlapping area is set to 2μm. Then the total thickness of the polyolefin base film, the polymer fiber support layer and the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer is: 5+10+5-2=18μm.
[0019] In one embodiment, the average pore size of the polyolefin-based membrane is 100-250 nm. For example, the average pore size of the polyolefin-based membrane may be 120 nm, 140 nm, 160 nm, 180 nm, 200 nm, 220 nm, 240 nm, or a range consisting of any two thereof.
[0020] In one embodiment, the thickness of the polyolefin-based film is 7-10 μm. For example, the thickness of the polyolefin-based film may be 7.5 μm, 8 μm, 8.5 μm, 9 μm, 9.5 μm, or a range consisting of any two thereof.
[0021] In one embodiment, the porosity of the polyolefin-based membrane is 40-80%. For example, the porosity of the polyolefin-based membrane may be 45%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75% or any two thereof.
[0022] As an optional technical solution of the present application, further limiting the thickness, average pore size and porosity of the polyolefin-based membrane can enable the obtained polymer reverse osmosis membrane to have a lower water mass transfer resistance on the basis of higher selectivity, and thus have a higher flux.
[0023] In one embodiment, the material of the polyolefin-based film includes any one or a combination of at least two of homopolymers or copolymers of ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, pentene, 1-hexene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, 1-octene, and 1-decene.
[0024] In one embodiment, the surface of the polyolefin-based film contains polar groups.
[0025] In one embodiment, the polar group includes any one of a hydroxyl group and a carboxyl group.
[0026] In one embodiment, the polyolefin-based film is a polyolefin-based film that has been subjected to a hydrophilic modification treatment.
[0027] It should be noted that the method for hydrophilic modification of the polyolefin base membrane can be any method that makes the polyolefin base membrane have hydrophilic polarity, as long as the surface of the treated polyolefin base membrane has hydrophilic polar groups, including but not limited to strong acid treatment, radiation grafting treatment, plasma treatment, etc., or physical modification methods, such as coating hydrophilic compounds, etc.
[0028] In one embodiment, the solvent resistance of the material of the polymer fiber support layer is above 98%, for example, 98.5%, 99%, 99.5% or a range consisting of any two thereof; the above-mentioned solvent resistance evaluation method is expressed by the mass residual rate before and after solvent immersion. Specifically, the test method of the mass residual rate before and after solvent immersion includes: placing 1g (denoted as M1) of the sample in 50mL of a 1M organic solution of hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide (the solvent includes tetrahydrofuran, toluene or ethanol, etc.), at 25°C, completely soaking for 7 days, taking out the sample, washing it with pure water and soaking it for 24 hours, and weighing the sample mass M2 after vacuum drying. The mass residual rate (i.e., solvent resistance) is calculated by the following formula: mass residual rate = M2 / M1×100%.
[0029] In one embodiment, the polymer fiber support layer includes any one of fluorine-containing fibers or polyimide fibers.
[0030] In one embodiment, the fluorine-containing fiber includes any one of polyvinylidene fluoride fiber, polyvinylidene fluoride hexafluoropropylene fiber, polyvinylidene fluoride-tetrafluoroethylene fiber or polyvinylidene fluoride-tetrafluorochloroethylene fiber, or a combination of at least two thereof.
[0031] In one embodiment, the thickness of the polymer fiber support layer is 10 to 20 μm. For example, the thickness of the polymer fiber support layer can be 11 μm, 12 μm, 13 μm, 14 μm, 15 μm, 16 μm, 17 μm, 18 μm, 19 μm or a range consisting of any two thereof.
[0032] In one embodiment, the average pore size of the polymer fiber support layer is 100-500 nm. For example, the average pore size of the polymer fiber support layer can be 150 nm, 200 nm, 250 nm, 300 nm, 350 nm, 400 nm, 450 nm, or a range consisting of any two thereof.
[0033] As an optional technical solution of the present application, further limiting the thickness and pore size of the polymer fiber support layer can ensure that the polymer reverse osmosis membrane has higher strength, better solvent resistance, high temperature resistance and high pressure resistance, while also having lower water mass transfer resistance, thereby having a higher flux.
[0034] In one embodiment, the water contact angle of the material of the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer is 40 to 85°, for example, the water contact angle can be 45°, 50°, 55°, 60°, 65°, 70°, 75°, 80° or a range consisting of any two thereof; if the water contact angle is too small, the excessive hydrophilicity of the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer will easily cause the aqueous phase solution to penetrate into the pore size of the polyolefin-based membrane during the subsequent interfacial polymerization, resulting in a low desalination rate; if the water contact angle is too large, the hydrophilicity of the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer is weak, which will easily cause the aqueous phase solution to be unevenly distributed on its surface during the subsequent interfacial polymerization, forming a defective polyamide layer, and reducing the desalination rate.
[0035] In this application, the above-mentioned water contact angle test method is to use the DSA25E contact angle instrument of the German Kruss company for testing. The sample is flatly fixed on the test table, the injection volume is 2.5μL, the injection rate is 300μL / min, and the high-speed camera is used to take pictures more than 3 times. The average value is the test result.
[0036] In one embodiment, the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer includes any one of polyacrylonitrile fiber, polysulfone fiber, polyethersulfone fiber or sulfonated polysulfone fiber, or a combination of at least two thereof; the above fibers are all materials with moderate hydrophilicity, which can provide more favorable conditions for subsequent interfacial polymerization to form a dense functional layer.
[0037] In one embodiment, the thickness of the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer is 3 to 7 μm. For example, the thickness of the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer can be 3.5 μm, 4 μm, 4.5 μm, 5 μm, 5.5 μm, 6 μm, 6.5 μm or a range consisting of any two of them.
[0038] In one embodiment, the average pore size of the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer is 20-50 nm. For example, the average pore size may be 25 nm, 30 nm, 35 nm, 40 nm, 45 nm, or a range consisting of any two thereof.
[0039] Similarly, the present application further limits the thickness and average pore size of the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer, which can ensure that the polymer reverse osmosis membrane has a lower water mass transfer resistance and thus a higher flux; and since the optimal pore size for polymerization is tens of nanometers, the average pore size of the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer is limited to 20 to 50 nm, which can provide more favorable conditions for the subsequent interfacial polymerization to form a dense functional layer. If its average pore size is too large, it will easily cause the aqueous phase solution to penetrate into the pore size of the polyolefin-based membrane during the interfacial polymerization process, resulting in a low desalination rate, and if its average pore size is too small, it will result in a low flux.
[0040] In one embodiment, the thickness of the overlapping area is not higher than 30% of the total thickness of the polymer fiber support layer and the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer. For example, the thickness of the overlapping area can be 28%, 26%, 24%, 22%, 20% or a range consisting of any two of them.
[0041] It should be noted that the above-mentioned "total thickness of the polymer fiber support layer and the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer" refers to the actual total thickness of the polymer fiber support layer and the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer combined together in the multi-layer composite reverse osmosis membrane, that is, it is not a direct and simple accumulation of the thickness of each layer, but the repeated accumulation thickness of the overlapping area should be eliminated. For example, the thickness of the polymer fiber support layer and the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer are set to 10μm and 5μm respectively, and the thickness of the overlapping area is set to 2μm, then the thickness of the overlapping area accounts for 2 / (10+5-2)×100%=15.38% of the total thickness of the polymer fiber support layer and the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer.
[0042] In one embodiment, the thickness of the dense functional layer is 100 to 500 nm. For example, the thickness of the dense functional layer may be 150 nm, 200 nm, 250 nm, 300 nm, 350 nm, 400 nm or 450 nm, or a range consisting of any two thereof.
[0043] In one embodiment, the dense functional layer is a polyamide layer.
[0044] In one embodiment, the dense functional layer is formed by interfacial polymerization.
[0045] In a second aspect, the present application provides a method for preparing the polymer reverse osmosis membrane as described in the first aspect, the method comprising: forming a polymer fiber support layer, a polymer fiber hydrophilic layer, and a dense functional layer on the surface of a polyolefin-based membrane to obtain the polymer reverse osmosis membrane. In one embodiment, the method comprises the following steps:
[0046] (1) forming a polymer fiber support layer and a polymer fiber hydrophilic layer on the surface of a polyolefin base film by electrospinning;
[0047] (2) forming a dense functional layer on the surface of the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer by interfacial polymerization to obtain the polymer reverse osmosis membrane.
[0048] In one embodiment, the polyolefin-based membrane in step (1) is subjected to a hydrophilic modification treatment.
[0049] In one embodiment, the hydrophilic modification treatment method includes any one or a combination of at least two of strong acid treatment, radiation grafting treatment, coating with a hydrophilic compound, or plasma treatment.
[0050] In one embodiment, the method of simultaneously forming the polymer fiber support layer and the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer in step (1) specifically comprises the following steps:
[0051] (1A) providing a solution containing a polymer A forming the polymer fiber support layer and a solution containing a polymer B forming the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer;
[0052] (1B) Electrospinning is performed simultaneously using the solution containing polymer A and the solution containing polymer B in step (1A) as spinning solutions to form the polymer fiber support layer and the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer.
[0053] In the optional preparation method provided in the present application, the polymer fiber support layer and the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer are both formed by simultaneous electrospinning with two needles, and a needle containing a solution containing polymer A and a needle containing a solution containing polymer B are successively arranged along the movement direction of the polyolefin base membrane spinning process, and the two needles are limited to move back and forth in a horizontal direction for electrospinning. During the preparation process, the fiber thickness and pore size can be controlled by reasonably setting the electrospinning parameters.
[0054] In one embodiment, in step (1A), the mass percentage of polymer A in the solution containing polymer A is 10-20%. For example, the mass percentage of polymer A can be 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19% or a range consisting of any two thereof.
[0055] In one embodiment, in step (1A), the mass percentage of polymer B in the solution containing polymer B is 10-20%. For example, the mass percentage of polymer B can be 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19% or a range consisting of any two thereof.
[0056] In one embodiment, in the step (1A), the polymer A is at least one of a fluorine-containing resin or a polyimide.
[0057] In one embodiment, in step (1A), the polymer B is at least one of polyacrylonitrile, polysulfone, polyethersulfone or sulfonated polysulfone, or a combination of at least two thereof.
[0058] In one embodiment, in step (1A), the solvents in the solution containing polymer A and the solution containing polymer B each independently include any one or a combination of at least two of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), acetone or hexafluoroisopropanol.
[0059] In one embodiment, in step (1A), the solution containing polymer A and the solution containing polymer B further comprise tetrabutylammonium chloride.
[0060] As an optional technical solution of the present application, tetrabutylammonium chloride is further added to the solution containing polymers A and B forming the polymer fiber support layer and the hydrophilic layer.
[0061] In one embodiment, the mass percentage of tetrabutylammonium chloride in the solution containing polymer A is 0.25-0.8%, for example, 0.26%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8% or any two thereof.

[0064] In one embodiment, the mass percentage of tetrabutylammonium chloride in the solution containing polymer B is 0.17-0.23%.
[0065] In the present application, by adding tetrabutylammonium chloride and adjusting the ratio, the pore size distribution of the polymer fiber support layer and the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer can be better controlled. Under the premise of maintaining high porosity, fiber layers with different pore size distributions are prepared. The larger pore size of the support layer is conducive to the transmission of water molecules and maintains high flux. At the same time, the pore size of the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer is limited to a smaller size, which is more conducive to the occurrence of interfacial polymerization, so that the prepared dense functional layer has better integrity.
[0066] In one embodiment, in step (1B), the distance between the two needles during the electrospinning process is 1 to 10 cm, for example, 2 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm, 6 cm, 7 cm, 8 cm, 9 cm or a range consisting of any two thereof; by adjusting the distance between the two needles in electrospinning, the proportion of the overlapping area of the polymer fiber support layer and the polymer fiber hydrophilic layer can be controlled.
[0067] In one embodiment, the propulsion speed of the spinning needle of the solution containing polymer A is 0.009-0.020 mL / min, for example, 0.011 mL / min, 0.013 mL / min, 0.015 mL / min, 0.017 mL / min, 0.019 mL / min or a range consisting of any two thereof.
[0068] In one embodiment, the propulsion speed of the spinning needle of the solution containing polymer B is 0.001 to 0.007 mL / min, for example, 0.002 mL / min, 0.004 mL / min, 0.006 mL / min, or any combination thereof.
[0069] In one embodiment, after the electrospinning in step (1B) is completed, the step further includes a drying step in an oven at 80-130°C (for example, the temperature may be 85°C, 90°C, 95°C, 100°C, 105°C, 110°C, 115°C, 120°C, 125°C or a range of any two thereof).
[0070] It should be noted that, as long as the dense functional layer satisfies the above-mentioned various characteristics, the raw materials and production methods can be freely selected according to the purpose.
[0071] In one embodiment, the dense functional layer is prepared by interfacial polymerization.
