Description

Surface quaternization modified nanofiltration membrane, preparation and application of surface quaternization modified nanofiltration membrane in separation of magnesium and lithium in salt lake
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of membrane materials, and particularly relates to a nanofiltration membrane for extracting lithium from a surface quaternized modified salt lake and application of the nanofiltration membrane in preparation and separation of magnesium and lithium from the salt lake.
Background
Lithium is a strategic resource in the aerospace and new energy industries. The lithium consumption in China is first worldwide, and the resource amount is fourth worldwide, and is mainly stored in salt lakes. However, most of salt lakes in China have a magnesium/lithium ratio of hundreds or thousands, are difficult to separate, are difficult to extract lithium efficiently by adopting mature technologies such as a precipitation method, and are limited by international markets due to 80% of lithium dependence import, so that the method is unfavorable for guaranteeing the safety development of key industries such as new energy. In view of the great national demand for lithium, development of new materials and technologies for extracting lithium from salt lakes is urgently needed.
Reducing the ratio of magnesium to lithium in the feed liquid is the key of the salt lake lithium extraction process in China, and the technology of high efficiency and economy is lacking at present. Nanofiltration membranes separate mono-and divalent ions through mechanisms such as electrostatic repulsion and the like, and have important potential of magnesium reduction and lithium enrichment. However, commercial nanofiltration membranes are electronegative, have weak charge rejection to cations, have a magnesium rejection rate of only about 60%, and have low selectivity. The magnesium/lithium selectivity of the positive nanofiltration membrane is better, but the membrane selectivity and the permeability are mutually restricted, the comprehensive performance has a larger distance from the process requirement, and the positive nanofiltration membrane is one of the bottlenecks of the lithium extraction nanofiltration membrane of the salt lake.
CN114377551a discloses a positively charged polyimide nanofiltration membrane for magnesium-lithium separation, a preparation method and application thereof, and in particular discloses a positively charged polyimide nanofiltration membrane for magnesium-lithium separation, which is prepared by completely dissolving polyimide, amino polymer and lithium molecular sieve adsorbent and performing immersion precipitation phase inversion technology. The retention rate of the nanofiltration membrane prepared by the technology on magnesium chloride can reach more than 99%, but the lithium molecular sieve is physically blended into the membrane, has weak interaction with a substrate, and has long-term stability to be further examined.
CN113332860a discloses a preparation and application of a magnesium-lithium separation nanofiltration membrane with high permeation selectivity, and in particular discloses alternately coating polyelectrolyte with opposite charges, namely polycation and polyanion electrolyte solution, on the surface of a porous support membrane; coating the coating to the required layer number, and then carrying out crosslinking treatment; the porous support membrane, namely the base membrane, is made of the following polymer materials, such as polyethersulfone, polysulfone and sulfonated polyethersulfone; coating polyelectrolyte, namely polycation and polyanion electrolyte solution, for 1-10 period layers; coating polyelectrolyte solution on the surface of a base film, and reducing the aperture of the film in a crosslinking mode; however, the layer-by-layer self-assembly requires repeated coating of polyelectrolyte solution, the process is tedious and time-consuming, and in addition, the flux of the prepared nanofiltration membrane is converted into 35.6LMH, which is still to be improved.
CN110026091a discloses an ionic liquid modified positively charged composite nanofiltration membrane and a preparation method thereof, in particular discloses a composite membrane which is prepared by firstly carrying out interfacial polymerization on polyamine and polybasic acyl chloride on a support base membrane to form a primary polyamide layer, and then carrying out amidation reaction on acyl chloride groups remained on the surface of the primary polyamide layer and amino functional ionic liquid. The functional layer is prepared by amidation reaction of amino functionalized ionic liquid and acyl chloride groups on the surface of the primary polyamide layer; the primary polyamide layer is prepared by interfacial polymerization of polyamine and polybasic acyl chloride. However, the nanofiltration membrane in the technical scheme takes piperazine-trimesoyl chloride as a primary layer, the primary layer is negatively charged, the beneficial amplification (positive charge density) brought by the ionic liquid is partially counteracted, and the magnesium-lithium selectivity is only 6.7 after conversion.
In summary, the prior art still lacks a nanofiltration membrane for extracting lithium from a surface quaternized modified salt lake and a preparation method thereof, so as to improve the lithium extraction efficiency of the salt lake.

(2) The quaternary ammonium ions are introduced into the surface of the membrane in situ, so that the positive charge density of the surface of the membrane is greatly increased. The quaternary ammonium ions are grafted on the surface of the membrane through covalent bonds, so that the long-term separation stability can be maintained. The test result shows that the membrane can still maintain excellent stability after continuously separating the magnesium-lithium mixed solution for 80 hours.
(3) The positively charged nanofiltration membrane for separating magnesium from lithium in salt lakes, which is prepared by the invention, converts amino groups which are provided with positive charges in the prior art into quaternary ammonium ions to provide positive charges, and overcomes the problem of charge density reduction caused by reversible protonation of amino groups in acid and alkali, thereby obtaining the magnesium-lithium separation nanofiltration membrane material with high stability.

Table 1 example parameter table
Test examples and comparative examples
Nanofiltration performance tests were performed on nanofiltration membranes prepared in examples 1 to 7 and comparative examples.
The nanofiltration performance test method is as follows. In the invention, the flux (J), the retention rate (R) and the magnesium-lithium selectivity (S) are two important parameters for measuring the magnesium-lithium separation performance of the nanofiltration membrane. The result of the invention is that the test is carried out by a cross-flow nanofiltration instrument, and the test conditions are as follows: 1000ppm of magnesium chloride solution, the test pressure and the test temperature are respectively 0.6MPa and 30 ℃. When the magnesium-lithium separation performance is tested, the total salt concentration of magnesium chloride and lithium chloride is fixed to be 2000ppm, the magnesium-lithium ratio of the feed liquid is adjusted to be 1,5,10,20,50,100 respectively, and the test pressure and the test temperature are respectively 0.6MPa and 30 ℃.
The membrane flux calculation formula is as follows:
Wherein J is membrane flux (LMH), S is membrane effective test area (m 2), t is operation time (S), and V is volume (L) of permeate liquid in t time.
The membrane rejection rate was calculated as follows:
wherein, C f and C p are respectively the solute concentration of the feed solution and the permeate solution. The magnesium chloride concentration was determined by a conductivity meter.
The magnesium lithium selectivity calculation formula is as follows:
Wherein, C f/Mg,Cf/Li and C p/Mg,Cp/Li are the concentration of magnesium ions and lithium ions in the feed liquid and the permeate liquid respectively, and are obtained through an inductive coupling plasma test.
The test results are shown in table 2 below.
Table 2 test results table
The reaction mechanism of the present invention is exemplified in example 3 and comparative example. FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of the interfacial reaction and surface grafting of example 3 of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional profile of example 3 (right) and comparative example (left). FIG. 3 is a zeta potential plot of example 3 and comparative example. FIG. 4 is a graph of feed liquid separation performance for example 3 for different magnesium to lithium ratios. FIG. 5 is a long-term stability test for the separation feed solution of example 3 at a magnesium to lithium ratio of 100.
As can be seen from FIG. 1, a large amount of unreacted primary, secondary and tertiary amine groups remain on the surface of the as-prepared polyethyleneimine-trimesoyl chloride film. When coated with a halogenating agent (for example, 3-bromopropyl trimethylammonium bromide), the 3-bromopropyl trimethylammonium bromide reacts with amine groups in a quaternization reaction and grafts onto the membrane surface. When reacted with tertiary amines, quaternary ammonium ions may be further formed to increase the positive charge density of the membrane surface and enhance the rejection of divalent cations (e.g., magnesium ions).
In addition, interfacial polymerization is a dynamic reaction that proceeds continuously, and the amino groups and acid chlorides have not yet reacted completely just after the preparation of the polyethyleneimine-trimesoyl chloride primary membrane. At this time, the alkaline aqueous solution of halogenated reagent is coated to rapidly promote the hydrolysis of acyl chloride groups, so that the reactive acyl chloride groups are greatly reduced, the overall crosslinking degree of the membrane is reduced, and the membrane is more loose, thereby increasing the permeation flux of the membrane.
As can be seen from FIG. 2, the film thickness increased from 82nm to 112nm after modification with 3-bromopropyl trimethylammonium bromide. On the one hand, this is due to the grafting of 3-bromopropyl trimethylammonium bromide to the membrane surface, increasing the membrane thickness; on the other hand, aqueous alkaline solutions can loosen the polyamide swelling, further increasing the film thickness.
As can be seen from FIG. 3, the isoelectric point of the membrane increased from 7.1 to 9.6 after modification with 3-bromopropyl trimethylammonium bromide, further indicating an enhancement of the positive charge on the membrane surface.
As can be seen from FIG. 4, the flux of the positively charged nanofiltration membrane prepared in example 3 was 140-155 LMH when the positively charged nanofiltration membrane was separated from the mixed solution with different magnesium-lithium ratios. With the increase of the magnesium-lithium ratio of the feed liquid, the retention rate of magnesium chloride is maintained at 97 percent, the retention rate of lithium chloride is gradually reduced to 23.6 percent, and the magnesium-lithium selectivity is maximum when the magnesium-lithium ratio is 100 and reaches 20.8. The performance of the positively charged nanofiltration membrane prepared in the example 3 is far superior to that of the comparative example and the existing commercial nanofiltration membrane by combining flux and magnesium lithium selectivity analysis, and the method has an industrial prospect.
As can be seen from FIG. 5, the positively charged nanofiltration membrane prepared in example 3 was stable at-140 LMH flux and-20 Mg-Li selectivity in a continuous 80h operation. The 3-bromopropyl trimethyl ammonium bromide is grafted on the surface of the membrane through quaternization reaction, and belongs to covalent bond connection, so that the membrane can not fall off in long-time test, and has good stability.
Further analysis of the test results of Table 2 shows that when compared with the comparative example, the membrane flux is significantly improved, up to 152LMH, and the magnesium chloride rejection rate is >95%, the magnesium lithium selectivity is >15, and the overall performance is far better than that of the comparative example. With the increase of the concentration and the coating time of the halogenated reagent, the halogenated reagent grafted to the surface of the membrane is increased, and the more obvious the modifying effect is, the membrane flux is increased. In addition, the preparation method is applicable to various substrate materials.
It will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art that the foregoing description is merely a preferred embodiment of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention, but any modifications, equivalents, improvements or alternatives falling within the spirit and principles of the invention are intended to be included within the scope of the invention.
