The invention discloses a preparation method and application of a monovalent cation selective membrane with an Al-MOF-based layered frame structure, and belongs to the technical field of membrane separation. The monovalent cation selective membrane solves the problems that the
ion flux and the selectivity are difficult to consider, the structure of a separation layer is uneven, many
polymerization defects exist in a frame pore channel, and the long-term use stability is poor in the existing monovalent cation selective membrane. The method comprises the following steps: preparing a hydrolyzed
polyacrylonitrile basement membrane, preparing an Al-MOF modified
basement membrane, and carrying out heat treatment and curing after
interfacial polymerization reaction. The
interfacial polymerization process is regulated and controlled through the confinement of an Al-MOF layered frame structure, a
polyamide separation layer with high crosslinking degree, narrow pore size distribution and high positive
charge density is cooperatively constructed in combination with a binary mixed amine
monomer, the dual effects of electrostatic repulsion and size screening are synchronously enhanced, the Na < + > / Mg < 2 + > monovalent cation selectivity can reach 50.45 under the optimal condition, meanwhile, the high monovalent
ion flux is maintained, and the specific surface area is increased. The membrane has excellent long-term operation stability and is suitable for separation of monovalent and multivalent cations in an
electrodialysis system.
