Description

Densified carbon nanotube film and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of nano materials, in particular to a densified carbon nano tube film and a preparation method thereof.
Background
At present, with the sustainable development of global economy, various organic and inorganic pollutants in wastewater discharged by industries such as industry, agriculture and the like are gradually increased, and the pollution to environmental water bodies is aggravated. In these waste waters, dyes, drugs, proteins and petroleum compounds are often detected. In addition, natural water contains high molecular organic matters such as humic acid, sodium alginate and the like. During water treatment, if the treatment is incomplete, some organic contaminants may be converted into highly toxic disinfection byproducts through chlorine substitution or addition reactions during disinfection, resulting in acute or chronic illness in humans or animals. Therefore, it is of great importance to develop advanced treatment technologies that can effectively remove organic contaminants.
To reduce organic contaminants in water, various techniques have been applied such as flocculation/precipitation, adsorption, advanced oxidation and membrane separation. Among these methods, membrane separation is receiving more and more attention and research because of its advantages of high efficiency, simple operation, continuous process, less running requirements, modularization, small occupied area, and the like. According to the requirements of different separation conditions, the membrane can be divided into microfiltration (0.1-10 microns), ultrafiltration (0.01-0.1 microns), nanofiltration (0.001-0.01 microns) and reverse osmosis (0.0001-0.001 microns) according to the pore size of the membrane. In addition, the technology such as membrane distillation, forward osmosis and the like has a wide application range.
Membrane materials such as nanofiltration membranes that are capable of removing organic contaminants are typically very dense and require high pressures, which results in high energy consumption during operation. The membranes can foul during long term operation, resulting in temporary or permanent flux drops and increased energy consumption. The membrane pollution is mainly in three stages, namely, the membrane holes are blocked, which is the initial stage of the membrane pollution, and the flux begins to drop; then a gel layer is formed on the surface of the membrane, which is the middle stage of membrane pollution, and the flux is obviously reduced; later on of membrane fouling, a cake layer forms on the surface, where flux will stabilize. Most of the membranes used in the prior art are made of high polymer materials, and besides the defects of unstable structure, easiness in pollution by organic pollutants in water body and the like, the membranes are difficult to remove after pollution, and serious damage to the membrane structure caused by chemical cleaning is an important factor for restricting the greater development of membrane separation technology.
Currently, commercial chemical cleaning resistant membranes are mainly ceramic membranes. Ceramic membranes, which are inorganic membranes, have been increasingly used in water treatment due to their properties of being structurally strong, acid and alkali resistant, resistant to chemical cleaning, etc. However, because of its inherent physical properties, such as high mechanical strength, it is brittle and difficult to withstand high pressures; the density is high, so that the weight is high, and the transportation cost is high; and the internal structure of the film is very stable after sintering, and the microstructure of the film is difficult to regulate and control. This is also a limiting factor that hinders the further development of ceramic membranes.
As a novel inorganic material, carbon nanotubes with nanoscale diameters and smooth surfaces are expected to meet the requirement of reducing energy consumption. Although carbon nanotubes are hydrophobic materials, related studies have demonstrated that water can occupy the hydrophobic channels of carbon nanotubes. A great deal of research into water passing through carbon nanotubes has shown that not only do water occupy these channels, but rapid molecular transport occurs. Molecular dynamics modeling attribute this enhancement to the atomic level smoothness of the carbon nanotube surface, as well as molecular ordering phenomena that may occur in a limited range of 1 to 2 nm. Therefore, the carbon nanotube film can maintain high flux under the condition of lower pressure, which is beneficial to reducing energy consumption. In view of the fact that carbon nanotubes themselves are hydrophobic and have a high specific surface area, studies have been made to give their strong adsorption properties for hydrophobic organic substances. In addition, electron polarization of aromatic rings on the surface of carbon nanotubes may greatly enhance adsorption of organic substances. Carbon nanotubes are therefore a promising material for water purification.

Test example 1 scanning electron microscope test
Scanning electron microscope testing was performed on the initial carbon nanotube film prepared in example 1, the densified carbon nanotube film prepared in example 2, and the densified carbon nanotube film prepared in example 3. The results are shown in FIG. 1, and FIGS. 1a and 1b are scanning electron microscope images of the initial carbon nanotube film prepared in example 1; fig. 1c and 1d are sem images of the densified carbon nanotube film prepared in example 2, and fig. 1e, 1f and 2 are sem images of the densified carbon nanotube film prepared in example 3.
The comparison shows that compared with the macropores and finer carbon nanotubes on the surface of the initial carbon nanotube film (P-CNT-M), the pore diameter of the surface of the densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-1) prepared by the method in the embodiment 2 is obviously reduced, and the carbon nanotubes are thickened. With the increase of the time for soaking chlorosulfonic acid, the densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-2) prepared in example 3 has a denser surface, the degree of carbon nanotube enrichment is increased, and more obvious carbon nanotube stacked micro-nano structures appear.
Test example 2 Nuclear magnetic resonance and contact Angle test
Nuclear magnetic resonance testing was performed on the initial carbon nanotube film prepared in example 1, the densified carbon nanotube film prepared in example 2, and the densified carbon nanotube film prepared in example 3. As a result, as shown in the bar graph of fig. 3 (the corresponding axis is left), it can be found that the relaxation times of water of the initial carbon nanotube film (P-CNT-M) prepared in example 1, the densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-1) prepared in example 2, and the densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-2) prepared in example 3 gradually decrease, which indicates that the water retention times of the three films decrease, reflecting the enhancement of hydrophilicity of the films.
Contact angle tests were performed on the initial carbon nanotube film prepared in example 1, the densified carbon nanotube film prepared in example 2, and the densified carbon nanotube film prepared in example 3. As a result, as shown in the line graph in fig. 3 (the corresponding coordinate axis is the right axis), it can be found that the contact angles of the initial carbon nanotube film (P-CNT-M) prepared in example 1, the densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-1) prepared in example 2, and the densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-2) prepared in example 3 gradually decrease, which indicates that the adhesiveness of the three films to water gradually increases, reflecting the enhancement of hydrophilicity of the films.
Test example 3 tensile Strength test
Tensile strength tests were performed on the initial carbon nanotube film prepared in example 1, the densified carbon nanotube film prepared in example 2, and the densified carbon nanotube film prepared in example 3. As a result, as shown in fig. 4, it was found that the initial carbon nanotube film (P-CNT-M) prepared in example 1 was substantially identical to the densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-1) prepared in example 2 in terms of tensile strength before 75Mpa pull force, but the densified carbon nanotube film prepared in example 2 could continue to stretch after exceeding 75Mpa, but the densified carbon nanotube film prepared in example 2 had been destroyed, showing that the initial densification could enhance the tensile properties of the film. While the densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-2) prepared in example 3 exhibited approximately 2 times the tensile pressure of the densified carbon nanotube film prepared in example 2 at the same tensile length, indicating that densification can effectively increase the ability of the carbon nanotube film to withstand high tensile strength.
Test example 4 dye removal and dye sieving test
The test process comprises the following steps: dye removal and dye screening tests were performed at 0.1MPa using 1L 100mg/L rhodamine B solution, 1L 100mg/L acid orange G solution, and 1L mixed dye solution containing 50mg/L rhodamine B and 50mg/L acid orange G as test solutions, the initial carbon nanotube film prepared in example 1, the densified carbon nanotube film prepared in example 2, the densified carbon nanotube film prepared in example 3, the densified carbon nanotube film prepared in example 4, and the densified carbon nanotube film prepared in example 5, including three test procedures: the first part was rhodamine B solution filtration for 60 minutes (30 minutes rhodamine B solution filtration for the initial carbon nanotube film prepared in example 1), the second part was acid orange G solution filtration for 10 minutes, and the third part was mixed dye solution filtration for 30 minutes (60 minutes mixed dye solution filtration for the densified carbon nanotube film prepared in example 3).
Test results:
The results of the rhodamine B solution filtration are shown in fig. 5, and it was found by comparison that the initial carbon nanotube film (P-CNT-M) prepared in example 1 had significantly poorer and faster removal of rhodamine B, and thus was subjected to only 30 minutes of filtration. The densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-1) prepared in example 2 has improved removal of rhodamine B and decreased more slowly. The densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-2) prepared in example 3 has excellent removal of rhodamine B and still maintains a removal rate of approximately 70% at 60 minutes. In contrast, the removal rates of the densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-3) prepared in example 4 and the densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-4) prepared in example 5 were relatively close, and were maintained at about 55% between the densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-1) prepared in example 2 and the densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-2) prepared in example 3 for 60 minutes.
As shown in fig. 6, the results of the acid orange G solution filtration show that the initial carbon nanotube film (P-CNT-M) prepared in example 1 had significantly poorer acid orange G removal, while the densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-1) prepared in example 2 had improved acid orange G removal, but both had less than 20%. Whereas the densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-2) prepared in example 3 has a better removal effect on acid orange G, exceeding 30%. The increased soaking time thus allows smaller membrane pores after densification to facilitate removal of the acid orange G dye. In contrast, the removal rates of the densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-3) prepared in example 4 and the densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-4) prepared in example 5 were relatively close, at about 25%, and were between the densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-1) prepared in example 2 and the densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-2) prepared in example 3. Combining the separation effect of rhodamine B and acid orange G dye solutions, it can be seen that the densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-3) prepared in example 4 and the densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-4) prepared in example 5 have no significant advantage over the densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-2) prepared in example 3. Therefore, the test of the densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-3) prepared in example 4 and the densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-4) prepared in example 5 was not performed during the separation of the mixed dye solution.
As shown in fig. 7, the results of the mixed dye solution filtration show that the initial carbon nanotube film (P-CNT-M) prepared in example 1 had significantly worst removal effect on rhodamine B, the first point removal rate was about 70% and decreased rapidly, and the first point removal rate was 40% or more for acid orange G, which failed to show screening performance for two different fuels, and thus filtration was performed for only 30 minutes. The densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-1) prepared in example 2 had an improved removal effect on rhodamine B of more than 80% and was relatively stable, but it also had an effect on acid orange G of more than 40%, and could not exhibit sieving performance for two different fuels, so that only 30 minutes of filtration was performed. The densified carbon nanotube film (Tr-P-CNT-M-2) prepared in example 3 has excellent removal effect on rhodamine B, can be stabilized to be more than 90%, can maintain the removal rate of acid orange G to be less than 10% except the first two points, and shows remarkably excellent dye screening performance.
Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present invention and not for limiting the scope of the present invention, and although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solution of the present invention may be modified or substituted equally without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
