Description

Negatively charged composite nanofiltration membranes, their preparation methods and applications

[0001] Cross-reference to related applications

[0002] This application claims the benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 202411596852.1, filed on November 8, 2024, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This invention relates to the field of membrane separation technology, specifically to a negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0004] Nanofiltration membranes are separation membrane materials with pore sizes ranging from 0.1 to 1 nanometer, and an average molecular weight cutoff (MWCO) of 200-1000 Da. They can effectively separate divalent and monovalent inorganic salts. Due to their advantages such as low operating pressure and high separation precision, nanofiltration technology has been widely used in seawater desalination, zero discharge of industrial wastewater, and resource recovery.

[0005] In industrial wastewater zero-discharge and resource recovery processes, sodium sulfate and sodium chloride need to be separated to obtain sodium sulfate products with high purity. Currently, the separation efficiency of commercially available nanofiltration membranes and those reported in literature and patents for sodium sulfate and sodium chloride needs further improvement. J. Tannenen et al. systematically investigated the ion selectivity of five commercial nanofiltration membranes—Desal-5 DK, NF-270, NF(Dow), NF-20, and ESNA-1-LF—in single-salt solutions (NaCl) and mixed-salt solutions (NaCl / Na2SO4, molar ratio 1:1) under constant permeate flux conditions (Journal of Membrane Science 283(2006)57-64). They found that commercial nanofiltration membranes struggle to simultaneously achieve high Na2SO4 rejection and high NaCl permeability, thus hindering efficient separation and resource recovery of both.

[0006] Introducing negatively charged groups onto the membrane surface is an effective way to achieve high sodium sulfate rejection rates. The separation principle of negatively charged nanofiltration membranes is based on two factors: physical sieving based on pore size and electrostatic adsorption and repulsion based on the Donnan effect. Furthermore, by introducing charged groups, the membrane's hydrophilicity is enhanced, operating pressure is reduced, and it offers advantages in terms of antifouling resistance and selective permeability.

[0007] Most charge modification methods will significantly reduce membrane water flux. Although they improve the separation efficiency of monovalent and divalent salts, they do not offer an advantage in overall water treatment efficiency.

[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a charged nanofiltration membrane with high water flux and high efficiency in separating monovalent / divalent salts. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the limitations of existing composite nanofiltration membranes, which cannot simultaneously maintain high monovalent / divalent anion selectivity and high water flux. This invention provides a negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane, its preparation method, and its application. This negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane has sulfonic acid groups and / or sulfonate groups of a specific structure grafted into the polyamide separation layer, enabling the composite nanofiltration membrane surface to be negatively charged, thus improving monovalent / divalent anion selectivity while maintaining high water flux.

[0010] The first aspect of the present invention provides a negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane, wherein the negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane comprises, in sequence, a bottom layer, a porous support layer and a polyamide separation layer;

[0011] The polyamide separation layer is grafted with N atoms to form sulfonic acid groups and / or sulfonate groups as shown in Formula I;

[0012] Wherein, M is H, Li, Na or K, and R1 and R2 are each independently H, C1-C6 alkyl or phenyl;

[0013] The location where the group shown in Formula I is bonded to the polyamide separation layer;

[0014] Ar comes from the residues following the reaction of compounds containing electron-withdrawing groups.

[0015] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane, wherein the preparation method includes the following steps:

[0016] S1. Prepare a porous support layer and a polyamide separation layer on the bottom layer to obtain a composite membrane;

[0017] S2. The composite membrane is contacted with an aqueous solution containing an aldehyde compound of Formula 1, an electron-withdrawing sulfonate and / or an electron-withdrawing sulfonic acid compound and an acid catalyst, and then dried to obtain the negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane.

[0018] R1 and R2 are each independently H, C1-C6 alkyl or phenyl.

[0019] A third aspect of the present invention provides a negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane prepared by the above-described preparation method.

[0020] The fourth aspect of the present invention provides an application of the above-mentioned negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane in water treatment.

[0021] Through the above technical solutions, the negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane, its preparation method, and its application provided by the present invention achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0022] The negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane provided by this invention grafts sulfonic acid groups and / or sulfonate groups of a specific structure into the polyamide separation layer, which enables the composite nanofiltration membrane to exhibit a negative charge, thereby improving the selectivity of monovalent / divalent anions while maintaining a high water flux.

[0023] In this invention, the Mannnich reaction mechanism is used to modify the composite nanofiltration membrane. Sulfonates and / or sulfonic acid compounds containing electron-withdrawing groups react with primary and / or secondary amine groups in the polyamide separation layer. This allows sulfonic acid groups and / or sulfonate groups with specific structures to be grafted onto the polyamide separation layer, significantly increasing the negative charge density on the surface of the composite nanofiltration membrane. The repulsion effect between negative charges enhances the membrane's retention efficiency for sulfate ions. Furthermore, the sulfonic acid / sulfonate groups are strongly hydrophilic, and this modification method creates a relatively loose structure. Therefore, while maintaining a high water flux, the separation efficiency for monovalent / divalent anions is improved.

[0024] Furthermore, in the present invention, during the preparation of the polyamide separation layer by interfacial polymerization, a first organic solvent is added to the first liquid phase containing polyamines. In particular, by controlling the concentration of the first organic solvent in the first liquid phase, the interfacial polymerization reaction process can be regulated, thereby preparing a composite nanofiltration membrane with high water flux, which provides a basis for the high water flux of the charged nanofiltration membrane.

[0026] Figure 2 shows the surface SEM image (left) and AFM image (right) of the composite nanofiltration membrane obtained in Example 1. Detailed Implementation

[0027] The first aspect of the present invention provides a negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane, wherein the negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane comprises, in sequence, a bottom layer, a support layer and a polyamide separation layer;

[0028] The polyamide separation layer is grafted with N atoms to form sulfonic acid groups and / or sulfonate groups as shown in Formula I;

[0029] Wherein, M is H, Li, Na or K, and R1 and R2 are each independently H, C1-C6 alkyl or phenyl;

[0030] The location where the group shown in Formula I is bonded to the polyamide separation layer;

[0031] Ar comes from the residues following the reaction of compounds containing electron-withdrawing groups.

[0032] In this invention, the negatively charged composite separation membrane has sulfonic acid groups and / or sulfonate groups of a specific structure grafted into the polyamide separation layer, which makes the surface of the composite nanofiltration membrane negatively charged, thereby improving the selectivity of monovalent / divalent anions while maintaining a high water flux.

[0033] Furthermore, the inventors discovered that the negatively charged composite separation membrane provided by this invention is rich in sulfonic acid or sulfonate groups (-SO3M), which can weaken the interaction with common metal ions or metal oxides that cause fouling on the membrane surface, effectively reducing various fouling ions, especially Ca. 2+ The adsorption on the membrane surface during heterogeneous nucleation reduces the adhesion and growth of crystal nuclei on the membrane surface, thus giving the negatively charged composite separation membrane provided by this invention excellent anti-fouling performance.

[0034] In this invention, The groups represented by Formula I and the -NH- or -NH- in the polyamide separation layer The location where the connection forms a bond.

[0035] Furthermore, M is H or Na.

[0038] Furthermore, the electron-withdrawing group is selected from one of carbonyl, carboxyl, ester, alkynyl, cyano, or phenolic hydroxyl groups.

[0039] According to the present invention, *-Ar-SO3M is selected from at least one of the following groups:

[0040] R3, R4, R5 and R6 are each independently H, C1-C3 alkyl, NH2 or -SO3M, and at least one of R3, R4, R5 and R6 is -SO3M;

[0041] Wherein, R7 is H, methyl, or ethyl; R8 and R9 are each independently an H or a C1-C3 alkyl group;

[0042] Among them, R10 It can be an alkynyl or carboxyl group, where m is an integer between 0 and 3;

[0043] Where z is an integer from 1 to 3;

[0044] Among them, R 16 It is a C1-C3 alkylene group, R 17 and R 18 Each is independently a C1-C8 straight-chain alkyl or branched alkyl.

[0045] In this invention, the "C1-C3 alkylene group" can be -CH2-, -CH2CH2-, -CH2CH2CH2- or -CH2(CH3)2-.

[0046] In this invention, when *Ar-SO3M has the above-mentioned specific structure, it can impart negative electrical properties to the surface of the nanofiltration membrane, improve the sieving efficiency for monovalent / divalent anions, and cause very little loss to the flux, thus meeting the requirements of high sieving efficiency and high flux of nanofiltration membrane.

[0055] According to the present invention, the sulfur atom content in the polyamide separation layer of the negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane is 0.1-5 at.%.

[0056] In this invention, when the content of sulfur atoms in the polyamide separation layer of the negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane meets the above-mentioned range, the content of sulfonic acid groups and / or sulfonate groups in the separation layer is relatively high, which makes the nanofiltration membrane have strong hydrophilicity and surface negative charge.

[0057] In this invention, the sulfur atom content in the polyamide separation layer of the negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane is 0.1-5 at.%, for example, it can be 0.1 at.%, 0.2 at.%, 0.3 at.%, 0.4 at.%, 0.5 at.%, 0.6 at.%, 0.7 at.%, 0.8 at.%, 0.9 at.%, 1.1 at.%, 1.2 at.%, 1.3 at.%, 1.4 at.%, 1.5 at.%, 1.6 at.%, 1.7 at.%, 1.8 at.%, 1.9 at.%, 2.0 at.%, 2.1 at.%, 2.2 at.%, 2.3 at.%, 2.4 at.%. 2.5 at.%, 2.6 at.%, 2.7 at.%, 2.8 at.%, 2.9 at.%, 3 at.%, 3.1 at.%, 3.2 at.%, 3.3 at.%, 3.4 at.%, 3.5 at.%, 3.6 at.%, 3.7 at.%, 3.8 at.%, 3.9 at.%, 4 at.%, 4.1 at.%, 4.2 at.%, 4.3 at.%, 4.4 at.%, 4.5 at.%, 4.6 at.%, 4.7 at.%, 4.8 at.%, 4.9 at.%, 5 at.%, and any range consisting of two values, preferably 0.5-3 at.%.

[0058] According to the present invention, at pH=7, the surface Zeta potential of the negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane is -50mV to -30mV.

[0059] In this invention, when the surface Zeta potential of the negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane meets the above range at pH=7, it indicates that the surface negative charge density of the negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane is high, which can improve the rejection rate of divalent and high-valence anions of the nanofiltration membrane.

[0060] In this invention, at pH=7, the surface Zeta potential of the negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane is -50mV to -30mV, for example, it can be -50mV, -49mV, -48mV, -47mV, -46mV, -45mV, -44mV, -43mV, -42mV, -41mV, -40mV, -39mV, -38mV, -37mV, -36mV, -35mV, -34mV, -33mV, -32mV, -31mV, -30mV, or any range of two values.

[0061] Furthermore, at pH=7, the surface Zeta potential of the negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane is -45mV to -35mV.

[0062] According to the present invention, the average pore size of the negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane is 0.1-0.5 nm.

[0063] In this invention, when the average pore size of the negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane meets the above-mentioned range, the pore size of the separation layer of the composite nanofiltration membrane is small and the pore size distribution is narrow, which can significantly improve the retention capacity of the composite nanofiltration membrane for divalent anions.

[0064] In this invention, the average pore size of the negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane is 0.1-0.5 nm, for example, it can be 0.1 nm, 0.11 nm, 0.12 nm, 0.13 nm, 0.14 nm, 0.15 nm, 0.16 nm, 0.17 nm, 0.18 nm, 0.19 nm, 0.2 nm, 0.21 nm, 0.22 nm, 0.23 nm, 0.24 nm, 0.25 nm, 0.26 nm, 0.27 nm, or 0.28 nm. 0.29nm, 0.3nm, 0.31nm, 0.32nm, 0.33nm, 0.34nm, 0.35nm, 0.36nm, 0.37nm, 0.38nm, 0.39nm, 0.4nm, 0.41nm, 0.42nm, 0.43nm, 0.44nm, 0.45nm, 0.46nm, 0.47nm, 0.48nm, 0.49nm, 0.50nm, and any range of two values.

[0065] Furthermore, the average pore size of the negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane is 0.15-0.35 nm, more preferably 0.20 nm-0.35 nm.

[0066] According to the present invention, the contact angle of the negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane is 20-80°.

[0067] In this invention, when the contact angle of the negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane meets the above-mentioned range, the surface of the composite nanofiltration membrane has strong hydrophilicity and good water wetting ability, which is beneficial to obtaining a higher water flux.

[0068] In this invention, the contact angle of the negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane is 20-80°, for example, it can be 20°, 22°, 24°, 26°, 28°, 30°, 32°, 34°, 36°, 38°, 40°, 42°, 44°, 46°, 48°, 50°, or any range of two values.

[0069] Furthermore, the contact angle of the negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane is 30-50°.

[0070] In this invention, there is no specific limitation on the materials of the bottom layer and the porous support layer. They can be made of various existing materials that have a certain strength and can be used for nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes.

[0071] In this invention, the bottom layer is a non-woven fabric material, preferably polyester and / or polyolefin.

[0072] In this invention, the porous support layer material can be at least one of polyethersulfone, polysulfone, polyaryl ether, polybenzimidazole, polyetherketone, polyetheretherketone, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinylidene fluoride, and polyaryl etherketone.

[0073] According to the present invention, the thickness of the bottom layer, the porous support layer, and the separation layer is not particularly limited, and can be a conventional choice in the art. However, in order to enable these three layers to play a better synergistic role and to enable the resulting composite nanofiltration membrane to better combine excellent separation efficiency for divalent anions (e.g., sulfate ions) and monovalent anions (e.g., chloride ions) and high water flux, the thickness of the bottom layer is preferably 30-150 μm, for example, 30 μm, 35 μm, 40 μm, 45 μm, 50 μm, or 55 μm. The thickness of the porous support layer is 10-100 μm, for example, it can be 60 μm, 65 μm, 70 μm, 75 μm, 80 μm, 85 μm, 90 μm, 95 μm, 100 μm, 105 μm, 110 μm, 115 μm, 120 μm, or any two values ​​within a range, preferably 50-120 μm; The thickness of the separation layer is 10-500 nm, for example, it can be 10 nm, 80 μm, 85 μm, 90 μm, 95 μm, 100 μm, or any two values ​​in the range, preferably 30-70 μm; the thickness of the separation layer is 10-500 nm, for example, it can be 10 nm, 15 nm, 20 nm, 25 nm, 30 nm, 35 nm, 40 nm, 45 nm, 50 nm, 55 nm, 60 nm, 65 nm, 70 nm, 75 nm, 80 nm, 85 nm, 90 nm, 95 nm, 100 nm, 105 nm, 110 nm, 115 nm. The range is 120nm, 125nm, 130nm, 135nm, 140nm, 145nm, 150nm, 155nm, 160nm, 165nm, 170nm, 175nm, 180nm, 185nm, 190nm, 195nm, 200nm, 210nm, 220nm, 230nm, 240nm, 250nm, 260nm, 270nm, 280nm, 290nm, 300nm, and any range of two values, preferably 30-300nm.

[0074] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane, characterized in that the preparation method includes the following steps:

[0075] S1. Prepare a porous support layer and a polyamide separation layer on the bottom layer to obtain a composite membrane;

[0076] S2. The composite membrane is contacted with an aqueous solution containing an aldehyde compound of Formula 1, an electron-withdrawing sulfonate and / or an electron-withdrawing sulfonic acid compound and an acid catalyst, and then dried to obtain the negatively charged composite nanofiltration membrane.

[0077] R1 and R2 are each independently H, C1-C6 alkyl or phenyl.

[0078] In this invention, an electron-withdrawing sulfonate and / or electron-withdrawing sulfonic acid compound reacts with primary and / or secondary amine groups in the polyamide separation layer via the Mannich reaction. This allows for the grafting of sulfonic acid and / or sulfonate groups with specific structures onto the polyamide separation layer, significantly increasing the negative charge density on the surface of the composite nanofiltration membrane. The repulsive effect between negative charges enhances the membrane's retention of sulfate ions. Simultaneously, the specific sulfonic acid and / or sulfonate groups possess a loose molecular structure, preventing a decrease in flux after nanofiltration membrane modification. This improves the separation efficiency for monovalent / divalent anions while maintaining high water flux in the nanofiltration membrane.

[0079] The present invention does not particularly limit the method for preparing a porous support layer on the substrate. Conventional methods in the art can be used for preparation, with phase inversion being preferred. Specifically, a polymer solution of a porous support layer material is coated on one surface of the substrate, and a porous support layer is obtained through phase inversion.

[0080] In this invention, the sulfonate containing electron-withdrawing groups can be a conventional salt in the art, such as sodium sulfonate, potassium sulfonate, or lithium sulfonate.

[0081] In this invention, the phase inversion method is preferably as follows: dissolving the support layer polymer material in a solvent to obtain a polymer solution with a concentration of 10-20% by weight, degassing at 20-40°C for 10-180 min; then coating the polymer solution onto the substrate to obtain an initial film, and then immersing it in water at a temperature of 10-30°C for 10-60 min, thereby obtaining the support layer polymer porous membrane through phase inversion.

[0082] The solvent may be N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, etc.

[0083] In this invention, there are no particular limitations on the method for preparing the polyamide separation layer on the porous support layer; conventional methods in the art can be used.

[0087] (3) The membrane obtained in step (2) is brought into a second contact with the second liquid phase, and after heat treatment, the composite membrane is obtained; wherein, the second liquid phase includes polyacrylamide chloride and a second organic solvent;

[0088] According to the present invention, the first organic solvent is selected from at least one of N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, ethanol and methanol.

[0089] In this invention, the polyamine is selected from at least one of polyethyleneimine, triethylenetetramine, tetraethylenepentamine, diethylenetriamine, polyethylene polyamine, piperazine, m-phenylenediamine, and p-phenylenediamine, preferably selected from polyethyleneimine and / or polyethylene polyamine.

[0090] In this invention, the polyacryl chloride is selected from at least one of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxyl chloride, 1,2-benzenedicarboxyl chloride, 1,3-benzenedicarboxyl chloride, 1,4-benzenedicarboxyl chloride, and adipyl chloride, preferably selected from 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxyl chloride and / or 1,4-benzenedicarboxyl chloride.

[0091] According to the present invention, the concentration of the first organic solvent in the first liquid phase is 0.05-6 wt%.

[0092] In this invention, during the preparation of the polyamide separation layer by interfacial polymerization, the first organic solvent in the first liquid phase containing the polyamine, and particularly by controlling the concentration of the first organic solvent in the first liquid phase, can achieve the regulation of the interfacial polymerization reaction process, and further prepare a composite nanofiltration membrane with high water flux, providing a basis for the high water flux of the charged nanofiltration membrane.

[0093] In this invention, the concentration of the first organic solvent in the first liquid phase is 0.05-6 wt%, for example, it can be 0.05 wt%, 0.06 wt%, 0.07 wt%, 0.08 wt%, 0.09 wt%, 0.1 wt%, 0.15 wt%, 0.2 wt%, 0.25 wt%, 0.3 wt%, 0.35 wt%, 0.4 wt%, 0.45 wt%, 0.5 wt%, 0.55 wt%, 0.6 wt%, 0.65 wt%, 0.7 wt%, 0.75 wt%. 0.8wt%, 0.85wt%, 0.9wt%, 0.95wt%, 1wt%, 1.1wt%, 1.2wt%, 1.3wt%, 1.4wt%, 1.5wt%, 1.6wt%, 1.7wt%, 1.8wt%, 1.9wt%, 2wt%, 2.1wt%, 2.2wt%, 2.3wt%, 2.4wt%, 2.5wt%, 2.6wt%, 2.7wt%, 2.8wt%, 2.9wt%, 3wt%, and any range of two values.

[0094] Furthermore, in the first liquid phase, the concentration of the first organic solvent is 0.1-3 wt%.

The water flux was then calculated using the following formula: J=Q / (A·t) (1)

[0123] Where J is the water flux, Q is the water permeation rate (L), and A is the effective membrane area of ​​the separation membrane (m²). 2 ), where t is time (h);

[0124] (2) The rejection rate of the separation membrane for a single salt was tested using the following method: The composite separation membrane was loaded into a membrane tank. The original aqueous solution was sodium chloride or sodium sulfate with a concentration of 2000 ppm. After pre-pressurization at 0.5 MPa for 0.5 h, the permeate was obtained at a pressure of 0.5 MPa, and the desalination rate was calculated using the following formula: R = (Cf -C p ) / C f ×100% (2)

[0127] The surface contact angle of the composite film sample was tested using a DSA100 surface contact angle meter manufactured by KRUSS GmbH, Germany, via the static drop method. Before the test, the sample was dried in a vacuum oven at 60°C for 30 minutes to remove surface and internal moisture. The dried film was then attached to a flat glass slide with double-sided tape. The volume of the water droplet was 4 μL each time during the test. The image was captured immediately 3 seconds after the water droplet landed on the film surface. The final contact angle was determined by taking the average value after multiple measurements.

[0129] Before measurement, the samples were dried to constant weight in an oven, and the elemental composition of the composite film sample surface was determined using a Sigma Probe X-ray photoelectron spectrometer manufactured by Thermo VG, UK.

[0131] Before testing, the samples were dried to constant weight in an oven, and attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy was used. The infrared spectrum of the nanofiltration membrane was determined using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (Nicolet 6700, USA).

[0134] (8) Membrane surface roughness test: The surface roughness was tested using an atomic force microscope (AFM) of Park Systems, South Korea, model Park FX-40.

[0135] (9) Anti-scaling performance test:

[0136] A gypsum solution with a saturation index (SI) of 1.0 was used as the model system to test the anti-fouling performance of the membrane. The test solution was a mixed solution of CaCl2 and Na2SO4, with a CaCl2 concentration of 1905 mg / L and a Na2SO4 concentration of 6683 mg / L. The above process was a continuous test, with the feed system maintained at 25°C to eliminate the influence of temperature on membrane flux changes and fouling. The test lasted for 40 hours. After the fouling test, a 1 cm sample was taken from the membrane. 2 The sample was placed in 20 mL of deionized water and sonicated for 30 min, then stirred for 24 hours to fully dissolve the calcium sulfate crystals deposited on the membrane surface, yielding the test solution S. A standard curve (ρconductivity) was established to predict the conductivity versus concentration of the calcium sulfate standard solution. CaSO4 ~σ curve), determine the conductivity of the test solution S, based on ρ CaSO4 The concentration ρ of calcium sulfate in the test solution S was calculated using the σ curve. CaSO4 Based on the volume L of the solution to be tested, the mass m of calcium sulfate in the solution to be tested is calculated.

The solution was degassed at 25 °C for 120 min. Then, the polyethersulfone solution was coated onto a polyester nonwoven fabric (75 μm thick) using a doctor blade to obtain an initial film. The film was then immersed in water at 25 °C for 60 min, which allowed the polyethersulfone layer on the surface of the polyester nonwoven fabric to undergo phase transformation into a porous film. Finally, after three water washes, a support layer with a total thickness of 115 μm was obtained.

[0186] Compared with Comparative Examples 1 and 2, in Examples 1-11 of the present invention, the Mannich reaction mechanism is utilized to react sulfonates and / or sulfonic acid compounds containing electron-withdrawing groups with amino groups in the polyamide separation layer in the presence of aldehyde compounds. This introduces sulfonic acid groups and / or sulfonate groups with specific structures into the polyamide separation layer, which can significantly reduce the Zeta potential on the surface of the composite nanofiltration membrane, enhance the negative charge on the membrane surface, reduce the average pore size of the composite nanofiltration membrane, and improve the hydrophilicity of the composite nanofiltration membrane. When used for water treatment, it can improve the rejection rate of divalent sulfate ions while having high permeability to monovalent chloride ions. At the same time, the water flux of the composite nanofiltration membrane remains at a high level, thereby achieving efficient separation of salts and minerals.

[0190] Compared to the composite nanofiltration membrane D1 obtained in Comparative Example 1, the composite nanofiltration membrane N1 obtained in Example 1 showed significantly enhanced resistance to calcium sulfate scaling. This is because Ca... 2+ The primary interaction with the membrane surface is not electrostatic force, but rather the chelation effect between it and the -COOH groups on the membrane surface. The N1 surface of the composite nanofiltration membrane is rich in sulfonic acid groups, which interact with Ca... 2+The interaction between them is significantly weakened, which effectively reduces the adsorption of scaling ions on the membrane surface during heterogeneous nucleation, enhances the nucleation energy barrier, reduces the adhesion and growth of crystal nuclei on the membrane surface, and thus significantly improves the anti-fouling performance of nanofiltration membranes.
