[0003] With the secondary development of oil and gas fields, the amount of produced water in oil and gas fields will increase significantly. The composition of produced water in oil and gas fields is complex, usually including salts, oils, solid suspended particles and organic chemical agents and other impurities. At present, the treatment technology of oil and gas field sewage mainly adopts a step-by-step treatment method combining physical, chemical and biological methods. The physical method mainly includes air flotation, coagulation sedimentation and filtration, but this treatment method has low treatment efficiency, poor water quality and high treatment cost, and cannot effectively meet the current environmental protection requirements.
[0004] In order to meet the water quality requirements of reinjection and standard discharge, efficient and low-cost pretreatment of produced water in oil and gas fields is required.
[0005] Membrane separation technology is widely used in the treatment of complex wastewater, and has the characteristics of high treatment efficiency, scalable productivity and low energy consumption. In recent years, biomimetic super-wetting membranes have shown high efficiency in the treatment of oily wastewater due to their excellent oil-water selective permeability, and have broad industrial application prospects. However, commercially available super-wetting membranes usually have single function, and can only separate oil and solid suspended particles in gas field brine by controlling membrane pore size and wettability, but cannot efficiently remove organic matter in brine.
[0006] However, the existing oil-water separation membrane has limited treatment efficiency when applied to treat produced wastewater in oil and gas fields. SUMMARY

[0063] Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are one of the most effective ways to remove organic pollutants. In advanced oxidation processes, sulfate radicals stand out compared to hydroxyl radicals due to their higher redox potential, superior selectivity and longer half-life. By taking advantage of these properties, sulfate radical-based AOPs exhibit stronger degradation ability of organic pollutants. Sulfate radicals are usually generated by the decomposition of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) or persulfate.

The nanofiber membrane substrate and the MOFs layer can form a hierarchical micro-nano rough structure and a sub-micron pore structure, have superhydrophilic or superoleophobicity under water, and can achieve efficient removal of suspended impurities and oils in oil and gas field wastewater.
[0068] Secondly, the MOFs material can activate peroxymonosulfate or persulfate to generate sulfate radicals, so that the oil-water separation membrane according to the present application can be combined with sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation method AOPs to treat oil and gas field produced wastewater, and achieve simultaneous removal of oils, suspended particles and organic pollutants in the oil and gas field produced wastewater.
[0069] Thirdly, the conventional MOFs powder material has a difficult-to-solve secondary pollution problem when used for wastewater treatment. The MOFs with a two-dimensional nanosheet structure in the oil-water separation membrane according to the present application does not have the secondary pollution problem caused by the MOF powder material to the environment when used for wastewater treatment.
[0070] In addition, the two-dimensional MOFs nanosheet in the oil-water separation membrane according to the present application has a porous structure and a larger specific surface area, which can be coupled with sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation process (AOPs) to achieve more efficient degradation of organic matter in oil and gas field wastewater.
[0071] Therefore, the oil-water separation membrane according to the present application can achieve efficient removal of various pollutants in oil and gas field wastewater, and has high industrial application value.
[0072] In the present application, the above technical features can be freely combined to form new technical solutions without conflict.
[0073] The above technical solutions provided by the present application have the following beneficial technical effects:
[0074] (1) The oil-water separation membrane according to the present application comprises a nanofiber membrane substrate and a MOFs layer loaded on at least part of the surface of the nanofiber membrane substrate, and the nanofiber membrane substrate and the MOFs layer form a hierarchical micro-nano rough structure and a sub-micron pore structure, which can efficiently remove suspended impurities in oil and gas field wastewater.
[0075] (2) The present application co-spins MOFs with a three-dimensional structure and organic polymers to form a nanofiber membrane, and then grows two-dimensional MOFs nanosheets on the nanofiber membrane. The prepared oil-water separation membrane has a hierarchical micro-nano rough structure and a sub-micron pore structure, has superhydrophilicity / ultra-oleophobicity underwater, and can realize efficient removal of suspended impurities and oils in gas field water. The two-dimensional MOFs nanosheets loaded have a porous structure and a larger specific surface area, and can be coupled with advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on sulfate radicals to realize degradation of organic matter in gas field water.
[0076] (3) The oil-water separation membrane according to the present application has hydrophilic organic polymer nanofibers in the nanofiber membrane substrate, which makes it have superhydrophilicity or ultra-oleophobicity underwater, and can realize efficient separation of oil and water in oil and gas field wastewater, so as to recover oil and water respectively.

[0124] According to some embodiments of the second aspect of the present application, in the step 3), the hydrothermal precursor solution is obtained by mixing a transition metal nitrate and an organic ligand in a second organic solvent; the transition metal nitrate includes at least one of cobalt nitrate and zinc nitrate; the organic ligand includes 2-methylimidazole; and the second organic solvent includes an organic alcohol with 1-4 carbon atoms.

[0130] According to some embodiments of the third aspect of the present application, the oil-water separation membrane is coupled with sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to treat oil and gas field produced wastewater.
[0131] Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are one of the most effective ways to remove organic pollutants. In advanced oxidation processes, sulfate radicals stand out compared to hydroxyl radicals due to their higher oxidation-reduction potential, superior selectivity, and extended half-life. By taking advantage of these characteristics, sulfate radical-based AOPs exhibit stronger organic pollutant degradation capacity. Sulfate radicals are often generated through the decomposition of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) or persulfate.
[0132] In the following, the technical solutions of the present application will be further explained and described in combination with specific embodiments. Among them, since Zn-MOFs and Co-MOFs belong to similar organic metal framework materials, the preparation methods of the two kinds of three-dimensional MOFs are the same, except that the transition metal sources used in the preparation of the two kinds of three-dimensional MOFs are different (i.e., Co-based MOFs use cobalt nitrate, and Zn-based MOFs use zinc nitrate). The preparation methods of the oil-water separation membranes containing Zn-MOFs and Co-MOFs are also the same, and the performances of the oil-water separation membranes finally obtained are also similar. That is, Co-based MOFs or Zn-based MOFs can make peroxymonosulfate (such as PMS potassium peroxymonosulfate) or persulfate generate sulfate radicals, so as to be coupled with sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), and thus the oil-water separation membrane can realize efficient degradation of organic matter in oil and gas field wastewater. Therefore, in the following, the oil-water separation membrane containing Co-MOFs and the preparation method thereof will be taken as an example to further explain and describe the technical solutions of the present application.

[0148] Comparative Example 1
[0149] An oil-water separation membrane includes a nanofiber membrane substrate and two-dimensional MOFs nanosheets loaded on the nanofiber membrane substrate. The oil-water separation membrane is different from the oil-water separation membrane in Example 1 in that the nanofiber membrane substrate does not include three-dimensional MOFs.
[0150] The preparation method of the oil-water separation membrane includes the following steps:
[0151] S1: 1g of polyacrylonitrile powder is added to a 10mL solution of N,N dimethylformamide, and ultrasonic dispersion is carried out for 30 minutes to mix uniformly, and a precursor solution is obtained;
[0152] The precursor solution is added to a 5 mL syringe with a needle, and is spun using an electrostatic spinning machine to obtain a nanofiber membrane substrate.

[0154] Micro-morphology of the oil-water separation membrane
[0155] The field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to observe the micro-morphology of the three-dimensional MOFs powder in each example and the comparative example; and the field emission scanning electron microscope is used to observe the surface micro-morphology of the oil-water separation membrane in each example. FIG. 1 is a micro-morphology diagram of the three-dimensional MOFs powder in Example 1 of the present application. FIG. 2 is a micro-morphology diagram of the oil-water separation membrane in Example 1 of the present application. FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of FIG. 2. FIG. 4 is an SEM diagram of the oil-water separation membrane in Example 2 of the present application. FIG. 5 is a morphology diagram of the oil-water separation membrane in Comparative Example 1 of the present application, and FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of the oil-water separation membrane in FIG. 5.
[0156] As shown in FIG. 1, the MOFs powder prepared in Example 1 is in a three-dimensional granular shape, and the average particle size is 200 nm.
[0157] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the oil-water separation membrane prepared in Embodiment 1 of the present application, i.e., the super-hydrophilic two-dimensional MOFs nanosheet loaded nanofiber membrane, has a surface covered by uniform nanofibers, and the petal-shaped sheet structure exists on the surface of the nanofibers, and the vertically staggered nanosheet structure completely wraps the nanofibers. It can be seen that the two-dimensional MOFs nanosheet loaded nanofiber membrane has a sub-micron level void structure, the average pore size is about 1 μm, the thickness of the two-dimensional MOFs nanosheet is less than 50 nm; and the two-dimensional MOFs nanosheet is uniform in size and uniformly distributed on the nanofiber membrane; the nanofiber membrane has a complete structure and uniform size.
[0158] As shown in FIG. 4, the surface micro-morphology of the nanofiber membrane prepared in Embodiment 2 can also be observed to have a similar two-dimensional nanosheet structure wrapping the nanofibers as in Embodiment 1.
[0159] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, compared with the microstructure diagram of the oil-water separation membrane in Embodiment 1 (as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3), the surface of the oil-water separation membrane prepared in Comparative Example 1 does not have a two-dimensional nanosheet structure, but only has sporadic three-dimensional particles. It can be known that the preparation method in Comparative Example 1 cannot obtain an oil-water separation membrane having a two-dimensional MOFs nanosheet structure. This shows that the pre-adding of MOFs powder in the manufacture of the nanofiber substrate has a key influence on the formation of the microstructure of the oil-water separation membrane according to the present application.
[0160] Wettability of the oil-water separation membrane
[0161] The water wettability of the oil-water separation membranes prepared in each embodiment and comparative example in the present application was tested by using a water contact angle measuring instrument. The specific testing process was as follows: first, the oil-water separation membranes of each embodiment and comparative example were fixed on a sample holder, and it was ensured that the surface of the oil-water separation membrane was flat; the wetting process of the water droplet in the air was recorded by the snapshot mode of the contact angle measuring instrument, and the test liquid volume used in the test of the static contact angle was 3 μL.
[0162] FIG. 7 shows the wettability schematic diagram of the oil-water separation membrane in Embodiment 1 of the present application, and FIG. 8 shows the wettability schematic diagram of the oil-water separation membrane in Comparative Example 1 of the present application.
[0163] As shown in FIG. 7, the water droplet (3 μL) in the air can completely spread on the surface of the oil-water separation membrane in Embodiment 1, the static water contact angle after stabilization is 0°, and the whole wetting process only takes 1.2 s.
[0164] As can be seen from Fig. 8, although the water droplets (3 μL) in the air can completely spread on the surface of the oil-water separation membrane of Comparative Example 1, and the static water contact angle after stabilization is also 0°, the time for complete spreading wetting is more than twice that of the surface of the oil-water separation membrane of Example 1, which is 2.6 s. This indicates that the oil-water separation membrane prepared in Example 1 has better superhydrophilicity than the oil-water separation membrane prepared in Comparative Example 1, which also means better water permeability and water permeation flux.
[0165] Oil-water separation membrane in gas field water pretreatment performance
[0166] The pretreatment of the gas field water was carried out by a vertical tubular separation device at room temperature. The oil-water separation membranes prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were fixed at the flange opening of the tubular separation device, and the raw gas field water sample was added from the upper port of the tubular separation device (a certain amount of PMS was also added at the same time), and the filtrate after separation flowed out from the lower port. The driving force required for separation was only provided by the gravity of the water sample to be separated. The filtrate after separation was collected and the suspended solids, COD and oil indicators in the filtrate were detected.
[0167] Table 1 shows the suspended solids, COD and oil indicators in the filtrate obtained by separating the gas field water using the oil-water separation membranes prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1.
[0168] As can be seen from the test results in Table 1, the concentrations of suspended solids, COD and oil in the raw water sample (i.e. the gas field water) are 50, 263 and 1.5 mg / L respectively, and the concentrations of suspended solids, COD and oil in the filtrate after separation are 6, 39 and 0.36 mg / L respectively. While the same gas field water is separated by the membrane prepared in Comparative Example 1, the concentrations of suspended solids, COD and oil in the filtrate are 27, 96 and 0.74 mg / L respectively. This indicates that the membrane prepared in Comparative Example 1 has a certain separation effect on the suspended solids, COD and oil in the gas field water, but the efficiency is much lower than that of the membrane prepared in Example 1. In summary, it is confirmed that the oil-water separation membrane provided in the present application has excellent removal effect on the suspended solids, COD and oil in the gas field water.
