Preparation method of graphene oxide nanofiltration membrane suitable for operation under high operating pressure
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of a nanofiltration membrane, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a graphene oxide nanofiltration membrane suitable for operation under high operating pressure.
Background
The nanofiltration technology is a membrane separation technology separated from the reverse osmosis technology, and is a continuation and development branch of the ultra-low pressure reverse osmosis technology. For a long time in the past, nanofiltration membranes have been referred to as ultra low pressure reverse osmosis membranes or selective reverse osmosis membranes or loose reverse osmosis membranes. Japanese scholars have specifically defined the separation performance of nanofiltration membranes: the membrane with the operation pressure less than or equal to 1.50mPa, the cut-off molecular weight of 200-1000 and the NaCl cut-off rate less than or equal to 90 percent can be regarded as a nanofiltration membrane. At present, the nanofiltration technology has been separated from the reverse osmosis technology, becomes an independent separation technology between the ultrafiltration technology and the reverse osmosis technology, is widely applied to various fields such as seawater desalination, ultrapure water manufacture, food industry, environmental protection and the like, and becomes an important branch in the membrane separation technology.
Graphene oxide, as a new two-dimensional inorganic nano material, has been widely applied in the preparation of functional materials due to its own physicochemical properties. At present, it has become a common technology to apply graphene oxide to a modified membrane material or directly use graphene oxide as a membrane material, for example, graphene oxide is added to an aqueous phase interface to prepare a polyamide membrane, graphene oxide is added to a PVDF membrane casting solution as an additive to prepare a PVDF composite membrane by a blending method, or graphene is fixed on a support by a layer-by-layer self-assembly method to directly serve as a filtration membrane. In the method, for directly using graphene as a nanofiltration membrane, products prepared in the prior art can only be used in a low-pressure range, generally not more than 0.2Mpa, so that the application range of the graphene nanofiltration membrane is limited. In order to improve the application potential of the graphene nanofiltration membrane, a new preparation method of the graphene nanofiltration membrane is urgently needed to solve the problems.

The invention provides a preparation method of a graphene oxide nanofiltration membrane suitable for running under high operating pressure, which is characterized by comprising the following steps: the preparation method comprises the steps of blending a polymer and a hydrophilic molecular sieve to prepare a support body, carrying out acyl chlorination modification on the support body, and sequentially dipping the support body modified by acyl chloride into an amino-modified graphene oxide aqueous phase solution and an organic phase solution containing acyl chloride to enable the interface of the support body modified by acyl chloride to be polymerized to form the graphene oxide nanofiltration membrane.
Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:
(1) preparation of support body by blending method
Mixing a polymer, a solvent, an additive and a hydrophilic molecular sieve, stirring, standing, defoaming to form a membrane casting solution, scraping a membrane on a glass sheet, solidifying in a coagulating bath to form a membrane, soaking in deionized water, drying at high temperature, and forming the membrane as a support for later use;
(2) modification of support by acid chlorination
Dipping the surface of the support prepared in the step (1) in an organic solvent containing an aromatic polyacyl chloride compound for 1-4h, removing the surface solution after finishing dipping, and drying at 40-80 ℃;
(3) preparation of graphene oxide nanofiltration membrane

Specifically, the polymer is one of polysulfone, polyethersulfone, cellulose acetate, nylon and polyvinylidene fluoride.
Specifically, the hydrophilic molecular sieve is one of NaA, NaY and ZSM-5.
Specifically, the mass ratio of the polymer to the hydrophilic molecular sieve in the step (1) is 2:1-4: 1.

Specifically, the amino-modified graphene is prepared by dehydration condensation reaction of graphene oxide and ethylenediamine.
Specifically, the high operating pressure means an operating pressure of 0.2 to 1.5MPa, preferably 0.5 to 1 MPa.
Compared with the prior art, the application strength of the graphene oxide nanofiltration membrane is improved in an interfacial polymerization mode by crosslinking the acyl chloride compound in a transverse and longitudinal mode. Firstly, in the horizontal direction, the amino modified graphene oxide is crosslinked into a net through the crosslinking action of an acyl chloride compound, in the longitudinal direction, the amino modified graphene and the support body are crosslinked together through the acyl chloride modification of the support body, the direct bonding force of the separation layer and the support body is improved, and the hydroxyl group of the support body is crosslinked with acyl chloride by adding a hydrophilic molecular sieve on the support body, so that the acyl chloride degree of the support body is improved, and the flux of the nanofiltration membrane is increased to a certain extent.
