Technical Field
The invention particularly relates to a preparation method of porous polyion liquid.
Background
The ionic liquid is organic molten salt which is composed of positive ions and negative ions of the ionic liquid and is in a liquid state at or near room temperature. The polyion liquid is polymerized by an ionic liquid monomer, has a class of polymers of anionic and cationic groups on a repeating unit, has the characteristics of both the ionic liquid and the polymers, and overcomes the flowability of the ionic liquid. According to the charged ions of the main chain, the polyionic liquid can be divided into: 1. cationic polyion liquid, namely cations are connected with a polymer main chain through covalent bonds, 2, anionic polyion liquid, namely anions are connected with the polymer main chain through covalent bonds, and 3, amphoteric polyion liquid, namely cations and anions are connected with the polymer main chain through covalent bonds. The polyion liquid with different counter ions can be obtained through ion exchange (can be carried out before polymerization (monomer) or after polymerization (polymer)), so that the ionic conductivity, hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity and other properties of the polyion liquid can be adjusted, and the counter ions of common cationic polyion liquid have Cl-、Br-、I-、BF4 -、PF6 -、NO3 -、R’SO4 -、CF3SO3 -、PhSO3 -、Tf2N-、(CF3)2N- 、(CN)2N-And the like.
The porous polyion liquid not only has the characteristics of a pore structure, high specific surface area and the like of a traditional adsorbent, but also has the advantages of high conductivity, large polarity and the like, and the porous polyion liquid can be directly used for obtaining a corresponding porous structure during polymerization of an ionic liquid monomer or grafting the ionic liquid into the porous polyion liquidThe porous structure of the polymer, but the pore structure of the polyionic liquid is not easy to control and adjust in this way. Qiang Zhao et al, in the article "purified Structured Structure Nanoporous Poly (Ionic Liquid) Membranes: surface Preparation and Application in Fiber-optical pH Sensing", disclose a method for preparing Nanoporous polyionic Liquid Membranes by reacting Poly [ 1-cyanomethyl-3-vinylimidazole bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide](PCMVImTf2N) and polyacrylic acid (PAA), drying at 80 deg.C for 1 hr, soaking in 0.2wt% ammonia water for 2 hr to deprotonate carboxyl group of PAA under the action of ammonia water, and reacting with PCMVImTf2And (3) performing electrostatic interaction on the imidazole cation of the N and generating phase separation in water to obtain the nano-porous polyion liquid membrane. Without ammonia treatment, a dense film without pores was obtained. The method can flexibly obtain the porous polyion liquid, but has the defects that the porous polyion liquid contains polyacrylic acid components and is not suitable for preparing the porous polyion liquid with the counter ion of halogen (such as Br)-、Cl-) The polyionic liquid of (1).
Water is one of the most important resources for human survival and ecosystem circulation. At present, a large amount of waste water is generated in various industries such as textile, food, cosmetics, pharmacy and the like, wherein a large amount of waste water contains phenols and azo organic pollutants, and potential harm is caused to human beings and the environment. Para-nitrophenol (PNP) is a typical representative of phenolic contaminants, and even at low concentrations these contaminant compounds can cause damage to organisms. As a result, the removal of organic contaminants from water bodies is becoming increasingly important. A Green synthesis, characterization and catalytic effectiveness of hypercross-linked porous polymeric ionic networks methods 4-nitrophenol reduction reported by Amutha Chinnappan et al, which synthesizes a porous polystyrene-ionic liquid material with a specific surface area of 541.13 m2And/g, using it as a catalyst to convert p-nitrophenol to p-aminophenol. In the text of "periodic porous polymeric compositions with an isolated adsorption performance for phenyl compositions" reported by Lili Zhang et al, imidazolyl polyions were preparedThe liquid can absorb p-nitrophenol to 460 mg/g, and is an adsorbent with application prospect. In a paper "high hly Salt Resistant Polymer Supported Ionic Liquid Adsorbent for ultra high Capacity Removal of p-Nitrophenol from Water" published by Meng Cheng et al, 1-amino-3 methyl imidazole bromide is grafted onto chloromethyl styrene to adsorb p-Nitrophenol, the adsorption Capacity can reach over 1269 mg/g, which is the substance with the highest adsorption Capacity of the currently reported polyion Liquid Adsorbent to p-Nitrophenol, but the product uses chloromethyl styrene, so that the manufacturing cost and process of the product are influenced.
