Graphene oxide composite membrane for selectively removing metal ions in water, and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a graphene oxide composite membrane for selectively removing metal ions in water, and a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of wastewater treatment.
Background
In 1940 evaluation, assessment and ranking sections (point positions) of surface water of China, which are published in 2016, the I type, the II type, the III type, the IV type, the V type and the inferior V type respectively account for 2.4 percent, 37.5 percent, 27.9 percent, 16.8 percent, 6.9 percent and 8.6 percent. Of 6124 groundwater water quality monitoring points, monitoring points with water quality of good grade, poor grade and range grade account for 10.1%, 25.4%, 4.4%, 45.4% and 14.7% respectively. In water body pollution, besides water body eutrophication, heavy metals are also important pollution factors, and the heavy metals and compounds thereof are one of the categories in the blacklist of Chinese environmental priority pollutants.
At present, methods for removing heavy metals in water mainly comprise a chemical precipitation method, an ion exchange method, an electrochemical method, an adsorption method and the like. Compared with other traditional treatment methods, the adsorption method has the advantages of low cost, high efficiency, energy conservation, cyclic utilization, environmental protection and the like. The selection of the adsorbent is particularly important, and a plurality of researchers at home and abroad are dedicated to seeking a more appropriate novel efficient adsorption material. The graphene oxide is a product obtained by chemically oxidizing and stripping graphite powder, has a large specific surface area and a large number of hydrophilic groups such as carboxyl and hydroxyl, and is beneficial to adsorption and diffusion of pollutants. In recent years, there have been a lot of studies on the treatment of heavy metals, dyes, small-molecule organic pollutants, and the like with graphene oxide adsorbing materials. A series of graphene oxide and functional modified materials thereof are prepared by royal jelly, and the adsorption capacity of the graphene oxide to copper ions is 50.95mg/g (the royal jelly, the graphene oxide and the functional modified materials thereof are used for enriching the mechanism of heavy metal ions in water research [ D ], Hunan university, 2016.4); trivinyl triamine and triethylene tetramine are mixed with graphene oxide to prepare gel spheres with three-dimensional grid porous structures, adsorption of the gel spheres on lead ions, copper ions, rhodamine B, methylene blue and congo red in industrial wastewater is studied, and the removal effect on cationic pollutants is good (Zhukai, research on preparation and performance of graphene oxide hydrogel [ D ], Yanshan university, 2016.5).
Graphene oxide is a good adsorbent, but due to its strong hydrophilicity, it is easily dispersed in an aqueous solution, and it is difficult to separate after adsorption, so that the solidification of graphene oxide has become a current research hotspot. The modified single-walled carbon nanotube cross-linked graphene oxide film is prepared from the reed by a vacuum filtration method, and under the optimal condition, the hybrid film can be used for Sr in radioactive wastewater2+The retention rate is 70 percent, and the flux reaches 390.6L/(m)2H) complexing Sr by addition of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid2+Forming complex with larger molecular size, and improving the removal capability to 86.3% (Lu Li, preparation and performance research of graphene oxide base film [ D)]2016.6 Zhejiang university). However, most of the methods are applied to removal of single metal ions at present, and researches on treatment of wastewater containing multiple metal ions are few, and the problems of poor selectivity exist at the same time.

The invention aims to provide a graphene oxide composite membrane for selectively removing metal ions with high selectivity and high removal rate.
The invention also provides a preparation method of the graphene oxide composite membrane and application of the graphene oxide composite membrane in selectively removing metal ions in water.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the graphene oxide composite membrane for selectively removing metal ions in water according to the present invention adopts the following technical scheme:
a graphene oxide composite membrane for selectively removing metal ions in water is mainly prepared from graphene oxide, an ammonia-carboxyl complexing agent and an organic polymeric flocculant; the mass ratio of the graphene oxide to the aminocarboxylate complexing agent is 1: 5-10, and the mass ratio of the aminocarboxylate complexing agent to the organic polymeric flocculant is 1-5: 1.
According to the graphene oxide composite membrane for selectively removing the metal ions in the water, the graphene oxide can increase the size of an original two-dimensional pore channel through pi-pi interaction, electrostatic interaction and an H-bond cross-linked aminocarboxylic complexing agent, so that the screening effect of the channel is improved, and a three-dimensional network structure is formed at the same time. The organic polymeric flocculant can also react with hydrophilic groups in the graphene oxide and the aminocarboxylic acid complexing agent, so that the network structure is changed, the network strength is improved, the stability of the material in a water environment is enhanced, and the material can be recycled. The aminocarboxylate complexing agent can also form a large-size cyclic chelate with heavy metals, has the minimum pH value allowing complexation with various ions, can realize respective complexation of metal ions by adjusting the pH range of the solution, enhances the selective adsorption capacity of the material, and improves the retention rate of the material.
