Problems solved by technology

At present, the base membrane of the composite forward osmosis membrane is generally prepared by the phase inversion method, and the base membrane forms more sponge-like pores during the phase inversion process, lacking large finger-like pore structures, or finger-like pore structures. The tortuosity is large, so the water flux of the prepared forward osmosis membrane is low

Embodiment 1

[0055] Example 1: basement membrane soaked in 30% DMAc for 1 hr

[0056] Preparation method: Soak the basement membrane prepared in step (3) of Comparative Example 1 with a volume ratio of 30% DMAc aqueous solution for 1 hour, take it out, and fully wash it in deionized water. The rest of the steps are the same as in Comparative Example 1. Wash thoroughly with water and store in 1% sodium bisulfite solution.

[0057] Performance: With 1M NaCl and deionized water as the draw liquid and raw material liquid, the water flux of the forward osmosis membrane is 12.60±0.50LMH, the reverse salt flux is 3.21±0.50gML, and the brine ratio is 0.25g / L.

[0058] Structure: The membrane is composed of a porous support layer and a dense separation layer. The thickness of the spongy layer on the support layer decreases, but the change is not great.

Embodiment 2

[0059] Embodiment 2: The basement membrane is soaked in 50%DMF for 30min

[0060] Preparation method: Soak the base membrane prepared in step (3) of Comparative Example 1 in 50% DMF aqueous solution for 30 minutes, take it out, and wash it fully in deionized water. Rinse thoroughly with deionized water and store in 1% sodium bisulfite solution.

[0061] Performance: With 1M NaCl and deionized water as the draw solution and raw material solution, the water flux of the forward osmosis membrane is 14.90±0.61LMH, the reverse salt flux is 3.61±1.01gMH, and the brine ratio is 0.24g / L.

[0062] Structure: The membrane is composed of a porous support layer and a dense separation layer. The large finger-like pore structure in the membrane increases, and the thickness of the spongy layer in the support layer becomes smaller.

Embodiment 3

[0063] Embodiment 3: basement film soaks 1hr in 50%DMAc

[0064] Preparation method: Soak the base membrane prepared in step (3) of Comparative Example 1 in 50% DMAc aqueous solution for 1 hour, take it out, and wash it fully in deionized water. Rinse thoroughly with deionized water and store in 1% sodium bisulfite solution.

[0065] Performance: With 1M NaCl and deionized water as the draw liquid and raw material liquid, the water flux of the forward osmosis membrane is 16.20±0.72LMH, the reverse salt flux is 3.69±1.01gMH, and the brine ratio is 0.23g / L.

[0066] Structure: The membrane is composed of a porous support layer and a dense separation layer. The thickness of the spongy layer in the support layer becomes smaller, and the large finger-like pore structure in the membrane increases.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving the water flux of a composite forward osmosis membrane. The method comprises the following steps: (1) putting a base membrane of a forward osmosis membrane into a water solution of an organic solvent and carrying out immersion treatment; (2) taking out the base membrane subjected to the immersion treatment and washing with clean water; (3) preparing aseparation layer on the base membrane through interface polymerization, so as to obtain a high-flux polyamide composite forward osmosis membrane. According to the method provided by the invention, the organic agent is used for immersing so that a pore wall of the base membrane becomes thin, a pore structure is changed and the sinuosity of a membrane pore is small; meanwhile, the porosity of the base membrane is improved and the quantity of large finger-shaped holes is also increased, so that structural parameters of the membrane are reduced and an inner concentration difference polarization phenomenon of the forward osmosis membrane is reduced; finally, the water flux of the composite forward osmosis membrane is improved. The method provided by the invention is simple and the operation iseasy to realize, so that the method is especially suitable for large-scale industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a forward osmosis (FO) membrane, in particular to a method for improving the water flux of a composite forward osmosis membrane, and belongs to the technical field of membrane separation. Background technique [0002] The forward osmosis (FO) process is driven by the osmotic pressure difference between the draw solution and the raw material solution, and water automatically diffuses from the raw water side with a high water chemical potential to the draw solution with a low water chemical potential through a selective permeable membrane. side process, in which no external pressure and energy are required. Therefore, compared with processes such as reverse osmosis (RO), the forward osmosis process has the advantages of low energy consumption, high water recovery rate, less fouling of the membrane, and operation under normal temperature and pressure. It has been used in food, pharmacy, energy and other fiel...
