Description

Flat sheet membrane modules, membrane filtration devices and water purification systems with antifouling function Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water treatment technology, specifically to flat sheet membrane modules, membrane filtration devices, and water purification systems with antifouling functions. Background Technology

[0002] Microfiltration / ultrafiltration membranes can be classified into tubular membranes, spiral wound membranes, hollow fiber membranes, and flat sheet membranes based on their shape. Tubular membranes have a simple structure and low pressure loss, making them suitable for treating high-viscosity and high-concentration liquids, but they have a small specific surface area. Spiral wound membranes have a large membrane area and good turbulence, but they require high-precision manufacturing and assembly, are inconvenient to clean and maintain, and cannot treat liquids with high suspension concentrations. Hollow fiber membranes have compact components and a large membrane area per unit volume, but the small inner diameter of the hollow fibers makes them prone to clogging, and contaminants are difficult to remove, thus requiring high-precision feed treatment. Flat sheet membranes have advantages such as good mechanical properties, high filtration flux, strong resistance to shock loads, simple equipment, and convenient membrane replacement, therefore they are commonly used in drinking water and advanced wastewater treatment.

[0003] However, flat-sheet microfiltration / ultrafiltration membranes can also experience a decrease in flux and an increase in water treatment costs due to fouling. The main cause of flat-sheet membrane fouling is the physicochemical and mechanical interactions between particulate matter, colloidal particles, and large solute molecules in the water being treated and the flat-sheet membrane. These substances are adsorbed and deposited on the surface of the membrane or within the membrane pores, causing the membrane pore size to decrease or become blocked, resulting in increased membrane resistance and a decrease in membrane flux.

[0004] In existing technologies, the methods for reducing fouling of flat sheet membranes include the following two:

[0005] The first approach is to mitigate pollution in the raw water by adding pretreatment processes, such as coagulation pretreatment, adsorption pretreatment, and oxidation pretreatment. However, this method significantly increases the complexity and cost of the water treatment process.

[0006] The second method involves modifying the membrane material or membrane to give it antifouling properties. However, the antifouling function of this modified membrane is not stable enough. After a period of use, pollutants will still affect the membrane's performance, causing fouling and failing to effectively reduce fouling of flat sheet membranes.

[0007] Therefore, there is a need to provide a flat sheet membrane module that can effectively reduce fouling. Summary of the Invention

[0019] S1: Add titanium dioxide and 2,3-dihydroxyterephthalic acid to acetonitrile and stir until homogeneous; the molar ratio of titanium dioxide to 2,3-dihydroxyterephthalic acid is 1:2-1:5;

[0032] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0033] First, this invention provides a hydrophilic antifouling layer on the surface of the flat sheet membrane. The material of this layer includes sodium titanium-2,3-dihydroxyterephthalate and polyethyleneimine. Sodium titanium-2,3-dihydroxyterephthalate reduces the surface energy of the flat sheet membrane, effectively preventing contaminants from adhering to it. The amino groups in polyethyleneimine further enhance the antifouling performance of the membrane by increasing its hydrophilicity. Furthermore, the sodium titanium-2,3-dihydroxyterephthalate complex has good compatibility with polyethyleneimine, preventing the loss of the hydrophilic antifouling layer material during use.

[0034] Secondly, this invention further incorporates a mixture of graphitic carbon nitride-iron-based metal-organic framework composite material and graphitized biochar between adjacent flat sheet membranes. In the graphitic carbon nitride-iron-based metal-organic framework composite material, the iron-based metal-organic framework contains photosensitive Fe-O clusters and unsaturated iron sites, which can fully absorb visible light. Its nanoporous structure also provides mass transfer channels for catalytic reactions. The narrow and controllable band gap of graphitic carbon nitride allows for the formation of heterojunctions at its interface with the iron-based metal-organic framework, enabling efficient utilization of visible light and separation of charge carriers, thus enhancing photocatalytic performance and degrading organic pollutants on the flat sheet membrane, further preventing membrane fouling. Graphitized biochar is an adsorbent material with good thermal stability and chemical properties, possessing a uniformly sized microporous structure, effectively adsorbing pollutants in water and small-molecule organic matter remaining after catalytic degradation by the graphitic carbon nitride-iron-based metal-organic framework composite material.

[0035] Compared with existing technologies, the flat sheet membrane module of the present invention has stronger anti-fouling function and higher anti-fouling stability, and can effectively reduce the clogging of flat sheet membranes. Detailed Implementation

[0036] To better explain and facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0037] This invention provides a flat sheet membrane module with antifouling function, comprising multiple stacked membrane bags, each membrane bag comprising a multilayer flat sheet membrane. In this invention, the flat sheet membrane includes a flat sheet membrane layer and a hydrophilic antifouling layer coated on the surface of the flat sheet membrane layer. The hydrophilic antifouling layer is a mixture of sodium titanium-2,3-dihydroxyterephthalate and polyethyleneimine, wherein sodium titanium-2,3-dihydroxyterephthalate is prepared by reacting titanium dioxide with 2,3-dihydroxyterephthalic acid. Within the same membrane bag, a mixture of graphitic carbon nitride-iron-based metal-organic framework composite material and graphitized biocarbon is also filled between adjacent flat sheet membranes.

[0038] This invention provides a hydrophilic antifouling layer on the surface of a flat sheet membrane. The layer comprises sodium titanium-2,3-dihydroxyterephthalate and polyethyleneimine. Sodium titanium-2,3-dihydroxyterephthalate reduces the surface energy of the membrane, effectively preventing contaminants from adhering to it. The amino groups in polyethyleneimine further enhance the membrane's antifouling performance by increasing its hydrophilicity. Furthermore, the sodium titanium-2,3-dihydroxyterephthalate complex exhibits good compatibility with polyethyleneimine, preventing the loss of the hydrophilic antifouling layer material during use. Therefore, this invention reduces fouling problems in flat sheet membrane modules through the hydrophilic antifouling layer.

[0039] In addition to coating the surface of the flat sheet membrane with a hydrophilic antifouling layer, this invention also fills the spaces between adjacent flat sheet membranes with a mixture of graphitic carbon nitride-iron-based metal-organic framework composite material and graphitized biochar. In the graphitic carbon nitride-iron-based metal-organic framework composite material, the iron-based metal-organic framework material contains photosensitive Fe-O clusters and unsaturated iron sites, which can fully absorb visible light. Its nanoporous structure can also provide mass transfer channels for catalytic reactions. The narrow and controllable band gap of graphitic carbon nitride allows for the formation of heterojunctions at its interface with the iron-based metal-organic framework material. This enables efficient utilization of visible light and separation of charge carriers, improving photocatalytic performance and degrading organic pollutants on the flat sheet membrane, thereby reducing membrane fouling.

[0040] Graphitized biocarbon is an adsorbent material with good thermal stability and chemical properties. It has a uniform microporous structure and can effectively adsorb pollutants in water as well as small molecule organic matter remaining after the catalytic degradation of graphitic carbon nitride-iron-based metal-organic framework composite materials, thereby reducing the fouling of flat sheet membranes.

[0041] Preferably, the thickness of the film bag in this invention is 1.0-3.0 mm, and more preferably 0.2 mm.

[0043] In this invention, the mass of the graphite phase carbon nitride-iron-based metal-organic framework composite material can be 5-30 times the mass of graphitized biocarbon.

[0044] Preferably, the preparation method of sodium titanium-2,3-dihydroxyterephthalate specifically includes the following steps:

[0045] S1: Add titanium dioxide and 2,3-dihydroxyterephthalic acid to acetonitrile at room temperature and stir until homogeneous. The molar ratio of titanium dioxide to 2,3-dihydroxyterephthalic acid is 1:2-1:5, preferably 1:3.

[0046] S2: Add sodium bicarbonate to the mixture obtained in S1 and react for 1-3 hours, preferably 2 hours. In this step, the molar ratio of sodium bicarbonate to titanium dioxide in step S1 is 2:1-3:1.

[0047] S3: The system after the reaction is washed with a solvent, such as isopropyl ether, to remove impurities other than the product, and sodium titanium-2,3-dihydroxyterephthalate is obtained.

[0048] In the above preparation method, acetonitrile is used as a solvent, and sodium bicarbonate is used as a buffer solution to maintain the pH of the reaction system. At room temperature, the carboxyl group in 2,3-dihydroxyterephthalic acid reacts with both titanium dioxide and sodium bicarbonate to generate sodium titanium-2,3-dihydroxyterephthalate.

[0049] After preparing the sodium titanium-2,3-dihydroxyterephthalate complex, it can be mixed with polyethyleneimine, and then the mixture can be coated on the surface of a flat film to form a hydrophilic antifouling layer. Preferably, the sodium titanium-2,3-dihydroxyterephthalate complex accounts for 5-15 wt% of the polyethyleneimine.

[0050] Preferably, the preparation method of graphite phase carbon nitride-iron-based metal-organic framework composite material specifically includes the following steps:

[0051] A1: Melamine is calcined at 500-550℃ for 4-6 hours, preferably at 530℃ for 5 hours, to obtain graphitic carbon nitride. Then, the graphitic carbon nitride is ground to obtain grinding particles.

[0052] A2: The abrasive particles are mixed with the precursors for preparing iron-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and then the mixture is hydrothermally reacted at 120-150℃ for 12-18 hours. After washing, filtering, and drying, a graphitic carbon nitride-iron-based metal-organic framework composite material is obtained. In this step, graphitic carbon nitride is first mixed with two precursors for preparing iron-based MOFs, and then, under hydrothermal conditions, the graphitic carbon nitride reacts with the two precursors to generate the graphitic carbon nitride-iron-based metal-organic framework composite material. The precursors referred to in this step include the inorganic metal center, i.e., the iron source, and the organic ligands.

[0053] Preferably, in step A2, the iron-based metal-organic framework material is MIL100 (i.e., MIL-100(Fe) formed by the combination of iron ions and organic ligands). The precursors for preparing MIL100 include an iron source and an organic ligand. The iron source can be ferric nitrate nonahydrate, and the organic ligand can be trimesic acid. Of course, the iron source and organic ligand in this invention are not limited to these two substances.

[0054] Preferably, the method for preparing graphitized biochar specifically includes the following steps:

[0055] B1: Dopamine hydrochloride was added to an aqueous solution of ammonia ethanol to prepare polydopamine microspheres.

[0056] B2: Graphitized biocarbon is prepared by calcining polydopamine microspheres at 600-800℃ for 2-4 hours in an inert atmosphere, preferably at 700℃ for 3 hours.

[0057] In step B1 above, the ammonia-ethanol aqueous solution refers to a mixture of ammonia, ethanol, and water.

[0058] In step B2 above, the inert gas can be nitrogen or the like.

[0059] The present invention also provides a membrane filtration device, including the above-mentioned flat sheet membrane module. Since the modified flat sheet membrane module has good antifouling performance and good degradation and adsorption performance for pollutants in water, using the modified flat sheet membrane module in a membrane filtration device can improve the antifouling performance of the membrane filtration device, increase the operating time of the membrane filtration device, and reduce the number of backwashing cycles.

[0060] In addition, the present invention also provides a water purification system including the above-described membrane filtration device. Similarly, the water purification system using the above-described membrane filtration device can maintain stable membrane flux, water output, and water quality during the water treatment process over a long period of time, and the entire water purification system can operate stably for a long period of time.

[0121] Furthermore, after verification, under the same conditions of raw water turbidity, raw water inlet temperature, raw water inlet flow rate, and inlet pressure, after the membrane filtration device of Comparative Example 1 became fouled, the membrane filtration device of Comparative Example 2 was still able to continue to operate stably for 7 days, the membrane filtration device of Comparative Example 3 was able to continue to operate stably for 15 days, and the membrane filtration devices of Examples 1-4 were all able to continue to operate stably for more than 40 days. During the period when the membrane filtration devices of Examples 1-4 continued to operate stably, no fouling occurred during the entire water production process, the membrane flux did not change significantly, and the water production flow rate remained stable.

[0122] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
