Description

Polyamide reverse osmosis membrane including an internal fouling layer and method for manufacturing the same

[0001] The present invention relates to a polyamide reverse osmosis membrane including a fouling-resistant layer and a method for producing the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a polyamide reverse osmosis membrane including a fouling-resistant layer, the membrane including a porous support, a porous polymer support layer formed on at least one surface of the porous support, a polyamide layer formed on the polymer support layer, and a fouling-resistant layer formed on the polyamide layer, wherein the fouling-resistant layer comprises a heterocyclic amine, an aliphatic diamine, or a combination thereof, and a method for producing the same. The polyamide reverse osmosis membrane according to the present invention can have excellent permeation flux while improving salt rejection and fouling resistance.

[0002]

[0003] Osmosis is the phenomenon in which a solvent moves through a semipermeable membrane from a solution with a low solute concentration to a solution with a high solute concentration. The pressure exerted on the solution with a high solute concentration due to the movement of the solvent is called osmotic pressure. However, if an external pressure higher than the osmotic pressure is applied conversely, the solvent will move toward the solution with a low solute concentration. This phenomenon is called reverse osmosis.

[0004] Traditionally, reverse osmosis membranes have been used to desalinate brackish or seawater, providing large quantities of fresh or purified water suitable for industrial, agricultural, or domestic use. Desalination of brackish or seawater using reverse osmosis membranes literally filters salts and other dissolved ions or molecules from the brine. By pressurizing the brine through a reverse osmosis membrane, purified water passes through the membrane, while the salts and other dissolved ions or molecules are blocked.

[0005] The performance of the membrane used in the membrane filtration process continuously decreases due to phenomena such as organic fouling, inorganic fouling, particular fouling, and bio-fouling depending on its use. Therefore, research on a reverse osmosis membrane that has excellent flux and salt rejection rate as well as excellent fouling resistance is necessary.

[0006] For example, Korean Patent No. 10-1230843 relates to a reverse osmosis membrane, characterized by comprising a porous support layer, a polyamide layer, and a coating layer further enhancing fouling resistance formed on the polyamide layer. However, although fouling resistance was improved, the invention suffered from a problem of reduced flow rate.

[0055]

[0057] According to the present invention, the porous support is a typical microporous support, and is not particularly limited thereto, but the pore size should be sufficient to allow permeation of water while not being so large as to interfere with the formation of a thin film on the porous support.

[0058] According to the present invention, the pore size of the porous support may be 1 to 500 nm. If the pore size of the porous support exceeds 500 nm, the ultra-thin film may sink into the pores, and thus the desired flat sheet structure may not be formed.

[0076]

[0077] 2. Method for manufacturing a polyamide reverse osmosis membrane including an internal fouling layer

[0078] The present invention

[0079] Step 1: Forming a porous polymer support layer by applying and drying a polymer solution on the surface of a porous support;

[0080] Step 2: forming a polyamide layer on the surface of the polymer support layer; and

[0081] It includes three steps of forming an anti-contamination layer on the surface of the polyamide layer,

[0082] The above-mentioned inner fouling layer is intended to provide a method for manufacturing a polyamide reverse osmosis membrane, wherein the inner fouling layer comprises a heterocyclic amine, an aliphatic diamine or a combination thereof.

[0083]

[0084] (1) Step 1

[0085] According to the present invention, the porous support may include synthetic fibers or natural fibers. For example, the synthetic fibers may include one or more selected from polyester fibers, polypropylene fibers, nylon fibers, and polyethylene fibers, and the natural fibers may include cellulose fibers. The average thickness of the porous support may be 30 to 300 μm, preferably 50 to 200 μm, but is not limited thereto.

[0086] According to the present invention, the polymer solution may include a polymer compound and a residual solvent, and the polymer compound may be included in an amount of 5 to 40 wt%, and preferably 7 to 35 wt%, of the total weight of the polymer solution.

[0087] According to the present invention, the coating may be performed so that the thickness of the polymer support layer is 30 to 300 μm. If the thickness of the polymer support layer is less than 30 μm, problems with reduced flow rate and durability due to compaction may occur, and if it exceeds 300 μm, problems with reduced flow rate may occur as the flow path becomes longer.

[0088]

[0089] (2) Step 2

[0090] According to the present invention, the polyamide layer can be formed by sequentially coating a polyfunctional amine solution and a polyfunctional acyl halide solution on the porous support. The coating of the polyfunctional amine solution can be performed by spraying or immersing the polyfunctional amine solution on the porous support on which the polymer support layer is formed, and can be performed for 0.1 to 10 minutes. The polyfunctional amine can include, but is not limited to, m-phenylenediamine, p-phenylenediamine, 1,3,6-benzenetriamine, 4-chloro-1,3-phenylenediamine, 6-chloro-1,3-phenylenediamine, 3-chloro-1,4-phenylenediamine, or a combination thereof. The polyfunctional acyl halide solution can be dry-treated for 5 seconds to 3 minutes. The above polyfunctional acyl halide may include, but is not limited to, trimesoyl chloride (TMC), isophthaloyl chloride (IPC), terephthaloyl chloride (TPC), or a combination thereof.

[0091] According to the present invention, the polyamide layer may have a thickness of 0.1 to 1.0 μm. If the thickness of the polyamide layer exceeds 1.0 μm, the thickness of the selective layer may become excessively thick, which may cause a problem of reduced flow rate.

[0092] (3) Step 3

[0093] According to the present invention, the fouling-resistant layer may include a heterocyclic amine, an aliphatic diamine, or a combination thereof. The heterocyclic amine may be selected from the group consisting of imidazole, pyridine, morpholine, and bipyridine, and may be included in an amount of 0.02 to 0.2 wt% based on the total weight of the fouling-resistant layer. The aliphatic diamine may be selected from the group consisting of 1,2-bis(2-aminoethoxy)ethane and 1,3-bis(2-aminopropoxy)propane, and may be included in an amount of 0.001 to 0.1 wt% based on the total weight of the fouling-resistant layer.

[0094] According to the present invention, the amine group in the inner contamination layer can be combined with unreacted -COCl of the polyamide layer.

[0095]

The support with the amine aqueous solution applied to the surface was immersed in an organic solution containing 0.1 wt % of trimesoyl chloride (TMC), a polyfunctional acid halide compound, and Isopar solvent as a solvent for 1 minute to carry out interfacial polymerization. Then, excess organic solution was removed by spraying air at 0.5 bar for 10 seconds, and a polyamide coating layer was formed on the surface of the support by drying at 25°C for 1.5 minutes, and thermal crosslinking was performed at 60°C for 2 minutes.

[0121] As a result, as can be seen from Table 1 above, the flow rate, removal rate, and flow rate reduction rate of Examples 1 and 2 according to the present invention were found to be significantly improved compared to Comparative Examples 1 to 4. Specifically, the flow rates of the reverse osmosis membranes according to Comparative Example 1 without a fouling layer, Comparative Example 2 with a methylamine fouling layer, Comparative Example 3 with a glycine fouling layer, and Comparative Example 3 with an ethanolamine fouling layer were 25.74, 26.88, 26.22, and 24.91, respectively, whereas the flow rates of the reverse osmosis membranes according to Examples 1 and 2 were confirmed to be 28.09 and 27.66, which were increased compared to the Comparative Example.
