Description

Preparation method of clay-based composite hydrogel for solar seawater desalination
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of material preparation, and particularly relates to a preparation method of clay-based composite hydrogel for solar sea water desalination.
Background
Fresh water is an indispensable resource for human beings and all ecosystems to survive, and plays a vital role. In the case of ever-increasing population, environmental changes and pollution of fresh water resources, how to achieve safe fresh water supply is a new challenge. The available water resource of the earth only accounts for 3% of the total water quantity, and in the few fresh water resources, more than 70% of the fresh water resources are frozen in ice covers of south poles and north poles, and less than 1% of the fresh water resources can be utilized by human beings. In addition, global fresh water resources are not only in shortage but also are extremely unbalanced in regional distribution. By 2025, 30 million people in the world are expected to face water shortage, and 40 countries and regions are severely deficient in fresh water.
To solve this problem, various seawater and freshwater technologies are endlessly layered. Such as Reverse Osmosis (RO), multi-effect sea water desalination (MED), thermal Vapor Compression (TVC), humidification Dehumidification (HDH), hybrid systems, and multi-stage flash (MSF). However, these techniques are difficult to be widely popularized and applied due to the expensive running cost. Solar energy is an almost inexhaustible renewable resource in nature, and the solar energy driven freshwater technology is superior to other technologies with low cost and high photo-thermal conversion efficiency, and becomes one of effective ways for relieving the shortage of water resources, such as (CN 112108084A, CN 113735208A) but under natural light (the solar intensity is less than or equal to 1 KW.m) -2 The low utilization efficiency of sunlight leads to the fact that the existing solar water purification technology cannot reach the commercial expectation yet. In order to improve the evaporation efficiency, the current work mainly focuses on the following three problems: (1) the photo-thermal conversion efficiency is improved; (2) continuously and stably supplying water in the evaporation process; (3) anti-theft deviceSalting out is stopped to block the pore canal. Based on the above requirements, solar evaporation new materials such as plasma nanoparticles, conjugated polymers, carbon-based materials and the like, and solar evaporation devices such as thermal localization films, bionic nanostructures, mushroom bionics and the like are highly valued and rapidly developed.
The hydrogel is a three-dimensional network structure formed by mutually stacking and polymerizing polymer long chains or colloid particles with water as a medium, and can keep a large amount of water without dissolving. Because of their highly tunable physicochemical properties, they have gained wide attention and application in the fields of inclusive artificial organizations, sanitary products, contact lenses, drug delivery, and agricultural fertilizers. Hydrogels, one of the most important materials in water evaporation and desalination processes, have higher water evaporation rates and efficiencies due to thermal localization at the air-water interface; the weak interactions between water molecules and polymer chains can form intermediate water, thereby reducing the energy requirements for water vaporization. Hu et al prepared a vapor rate of 1.582 kg m -2 h -1 Is a double layer cellulose hydrogel (Carbohydrate Polymer,2020, 243, 116480). Zhao et al utilized a one-step crosslinking process to prepare a novel hydrogel-based solar evaporator. Sodium alginate and PEDOT-PSS composite hydrogel are used as a photo-thermal layer to realize 1.23 kg.m -2 h -1 Is described (Desalinatio, 2020, 482, 114385). Song et al prepared a polymer having a physical/chemical cross-linking of 1.41 kg.m -2 h -1 High content attapulgite aerogel with evaporation rate (Journal of Materials Chemistry A,2021,9, 23117-23126). But in practical application, the problems of unstable salt deposition and evaporation performance are faced.

In the following, examples 8 to 12 are compared, and the influence of freezing temperature, freezing and thawing times and the proportion of clay and sodium alginate on the evaporation efficiency of the clay-based composite hydrogel prepared by the invention is examined, and the results are shown in Table 1:
according to analysis examples 8-12, the pore diameter in the range of 80-380 mu m and the mesoporous structure formed by the attapulgite on the pore wall can be obtained by adjusting the directional freezing temperature, the freezing and thawing times and the proportion of the attapulgite to the sodium alginate, and the mesoporous structure is mainly distributed in 2-50 nm. The attapulgite on the pore wall and the formed mesoporous structure can greatly improve the hydrophilicity of the hydrogel, and realize rapid water absorption, as shown in fig. 4. When the attapulgite content is too high, the growth speed of ice crystals is hindered, the pore size is gradually reduced, the structure becomes compact, and water vapor cannot smoothly pass through a vapor channel of the directional freezing structure. When the attapulgite content is too low, the mesoporous structure built by the attapulgite on the hole wall is reduced, and the water absorption capacity is reduced, so that the water evaporation rate is influenced; with the decrease of the directional freezing temperature, although the growth speed of ice crystals is high and the pore diameter range is gradually reduced, the overall water delivery effect is still poor, and the lower water evaporation rate is shown. And the increase of the freezing and thawing times can construct a larger pore canal structure to enhance the transportation of water, but the water evaporation rate is still not high due to capillary action. Therefore, the selection of proper freezing temperature, freezing and thawing times and the proportion of clay and sodium alginate have important significance for the water evaporation efficiency.
While the invention has been described in terms of specific embodiments, any feature disclosed in this specification may be replaced by alternative features serving the equivalent or similar purpose, unless expressly stated otherwise; all of the features disclosed, or all of the steps in a method or process, except for mutually exclusive features and/or steps, may be combined in any manner.
