Ultrathin microporous polyethylene reinforced high-performance composite anion exchange membrane and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to an anion exchange membrane, in particular to an ultrathin microporous polyethylene reinforced high-performance composite anion exchange membrane, a preparation method and application thereof, wherein the ultrathin microporous polyethylene reinforced high-performance composite anion exchange membrane is used for electrodialysis desalination of brine; belonging to the technical field of electrodialysis desalination.
Background
In Electrodialysis (ED) it is necessary for Ion Exchange Membranes (IEMs) to selectively move components of different nature in a mixed solution of ionic compounds from one compartment (diluting compartment) to another (concentrating compartment) under the action of an electric drive. This requires that IEM must have satisfactory mechanical, chemical and dimensional stability to meet long-term use, and also high ion permeation selectivity (P) and low sheet resistance (R m ) To ensure high electrodialysis current efficiency (eta) and low Energy Consumption (EC). The existing Nafion and other Cation Exchange Membranes (CEM) basically can meet the requirements, but the performance of the Anion Exchange Membranes (AEMs) used for electrodialysis needs to be further improved. Because of the limitations of cation exchange membrane applications, the development of AEMs with high ion permselectivity, conductivity, and mechanical properties is critical to the development of upgrades in ED technology.
In order to find ideal AEMs that meet ED with high dialysis current efficiency, low energy consumption and high mechanical properties at the same time, researchers have developed a variety of polymer backbones, mainly polysulfone, polyetherketone, polyphenylene oxide, aliphatic polymers, etc., and cationic structural groups, which are quaternary ammonium, quaternary phosphonium, pyridinium, imidazolium, etc. Recently, wei et al (B.Wei, J.Pan, J.Feng, C.Chen, S.Liao, Y.Yu, X.Li, highly conductive and permselective anion exchange membranes for electrodialysis Desalination with series-connected dications appending flexible hydrophobic tails, desalination,474 (2020) 114184.) developed an anion exchange membrane QPT-4 (p=94%, R) of hydrophobic hexyl-modified tandem biscationic ionomers with good ED performance m =1.60Ωcm 2 ) The current efficiency (. Eta.) was 89.14%, the salt flux (J) was 75.57mg m -2 s -1 Energy Consumption (EC) of 2.16kWh kg -1 NaCl, mechanical properties: the tensile strength was 10.4MPa, and the elongation at break was 7.10%. The tensile strength of the simple ionomer AEMs is lower, and the requirements of long-time ED operation can be met only by increasing the mechanical property of the thickness, and the thickness of the simple ionomer AEMs is generally 100-200 microns.
In order to further improve the physical and electrochemical properties of the AEMs, researchers have used chemical cross-linking (G.Peng, C.Zhu, J.Liao, X.Gao, L.Hao, A.Sotto, J.Shen, a two-step strategy for the preparation of anion-exchange membranes based on Poly) for electrodialysis desalination, polymer,218 (2021) 123508), inorganic nanoparticle doping (J.G.Hong, Y.Chen, nanocomposite Reverse Electrodialysis (RED) ion-exchange membranes for salinity gradient power generation, journal of Membrane Science,460 (2014) 139-147), organic Polymer blending (Y.Li, A.C.Jackson, F.L.Beyer, D.M.Knauss, poly (2, 6-dimethyl-1,4-phenyl oxide) Blended with Poly (vinylbenzyl chloride) -b-polystyrene for the Formation of Anion Exchange Membranes, macromolecules,47 (2014) 6757), ionomer microporous membrane filling (B.Wang, J.Yan, H.Wang, R.Li, R.Fu, C.Jiang, V.Nikonenko, N.Pismenskaya, Y.Wang, T.Xu, ionic liquid-filled with ion-exchange membranes enable fast large-sized metallic anion migration in electrodialysis, journal of Membrane Science, 2023) 121348) and the like to design and prepare a plurality of AEMs, recently, hydrogen bonding (7432) of the 4-phenyl oxide) Blended with Poly (vinylbenzyl chloride) -b-polystyrene for the Formation of Anion Exchange Membranes, macromolecules,47 (2014) 6757), and the like, and recently, hydrogen bonding (7432) of the 4-modified polysaccharide (7432) has been developed The surface resistance (R) of the sub-exchange membrane HQPsf-CS-3% m ) And P is 2.41 Ω cm respectively 2 And 96.86%, tensile strength of 11.0MPa, HQPsf-CS-3% also exhibits good ED performance with J of 77.8mg cm -2 s -1 EC and η are 4.23kWh kg, respectively -1 NaCl and 93.30%. Studies of Szekelys report that polybenzimidazole-based AEMs doped with organically modified graphene oxide improve ion-selective permeability. M2-1 has the highest ion selective permeability, P reaches 98%, tensile strength is 43MPa, eta is 100%, and EC is 10.1kWh kg -1 NaCl (L.Cseri, J.Baugh, A.Alabi, A.AlHajaj, L.Zou, R.A.W.Dryfe, P.M.Budd, G.Szekely, graphene oxide-polybenzimidazolium nanocomposite anion exchange membranes for electrodialysis, journal of Materials Chemistry A,6 (2018) 24728-24739). Recently, bruggen et al (F.Deboli, B.Van der Bruggen, M.L.Donten, A versatile chemistry platform for the fabrication of cost-effective hierarchical cation and anion exchange membranes, desamination, 535 (2022) 115794) passed through porous PVC-SiO 2 The substrate adsorbs acrylic acid ionomer and uses ultraviolet crosslinking to prepare an ion exchange membrane, the optimal P-permselectivity of developed hAEM ions can reach 94%, the film thickness is 420 mu m, and the corresponding surface resistance R m Is 6.44 Ω cm 2 The ED current efficiency eta reaches 93.3 percent, and the final desalination rate is 56 percent.
The prior art chemical crosslinking method enhances the mechanical properties of the membrane, but increases the control difficulty of the membrane preparation process, and has limited improvement on the ion selective permeability of the AEMs because the intrinsic ionomer structure of the AEMs is not changed; other materials with limited compatibility or macroscopic phase separation between the ionomer and the reinforcement material of the composite reinforcement technology do not achieve the purpose of synchronously enhancing the mechanical property, ion conductivity and ion selective permeability of AEMs, and the thickness of the composite membrane material is generally thicker, the surface resistance is larger and the energy consumption is higher.

The ionomer material of the composite anion exchange membrane is octadecyl hydrophobic long-chain modified tadpole type polyphenyl ether ionomer QPPO-C18, and serially connected double-cation polyphenyl ether ionomers QPPO-TMEDA-C18 and QPPO-DABCO-C18, and the matrix is an ultrathin microporous PE membrane. The above examples change the surface properties of the substrate by treating the substrate ultra-thin microporous polyethylene film with ethanol, and additionally, the substrate is treated with brominated polyphenylene ether having a bromination degree of 0.40 to 0.60 and ionization reagents TMEDA-C18, DABCO-C18 and N, N-dimethyloctadecylamine equivalent 1: and 1, reacting for 48-72 h at room temperature to obtain an ionomer body. The embodiment is that 5 to 25 percent of ethanol is added into a certain mass of 20 weight percent ionomer solution, the property of the ionomer solution is changed, and then the ionomer is deposited and aggregated on a substrate in the film preparation process at the temperature of 40 to 60 ℃ is debugged, so that a series of ultrathin composite anion exchange films with high ion selectivity, low surface resistance and high mechanical property are obtained. The comparative example was one in which a mass of 20wt% ionomer solution was volatilized at the same film forming temperature. Under the same conditions, the basic performance and electrodialysis performance of the composite anion exchange membrane, the ionomer intrinsic membrane and the commercial membrane are tested, and test results show that the embodiment of the invention can not only maintain the local high cationic charge density of the ionomer intrinsic structure, but also modify the microphase structure of the ionomer in the hole by utilizing the strong interaction of the flexible hydrophobic long side chain and the polyethylene hole wall so as to further improve the ion selective permeability of the composite membrane, and further reduce the membrane by means of matrix enhancement The thickness of the composite film (the thickness of the composite film is 20-50 micrometers, which is obviously smaller than that of commercial films and ionomer intrinsic films), so that the film resistance of the composite film is reduced, and the conductivity and mechanical property of the composite film are synchronously enhanced. The basic properties of the ultrathin high-performance composite anion exchange membrane obtained in the example above at room temperature are as follows: the water absorption rate is 5.44 to 10.90 percent, the swelling rate is 1.38 to 1.61 percent, the ion selective permeability is 93.68 to 97.32 percent, and the surface resistance is 1.33 ohm cm 2 ~2.23Ωcm 2 Mechanical properties: the tensile strength is 46.33 MPa-62.19 MPa, and the elongation at break is 119.05-141.33%. 0.1M NaCl solution system, 15mA cm -2 The electrodialysis desalination performance of the high-performance composite anion exchange membrane is as follows: the current efficiency is 91.34-95.29%, and the flux is 83.08mg m -2 s -1 ~86.66mg m -2 s -1 The energy consumption is 1.50kWh kg -1 NaCl~2.20kWh kg -1 NaCl, is superior to the commercial film AMX of Japanese ASTOM under the same conditions. ED desalination performance of AMX: the current efficiency is 83.45%, and the salt flux is 75.82mg m -2 s -1 The energy consumption is 2.12 kWh kg -1 NaCl. The invention effectively solves the problem that the existing anion exchange membrane can not achieve high ion permeation selectivity, low surface resistance and high mechanical property, and the developed ultrathin high-performance anion exchange membrane meets the requirements of comprehensive properties such as high current efficiency, salt flux, low energy consumption and the like of desalination electrodialysis, and has good application prospect.
The invention obtains the basic performances of the ethanol-assisted ultrathin microporous polyethylene composite anion exchange membrane X EtOH QPPO-TMEDA-C18@PE, X EtOH QPPO-DABCO-C18@PE and X EtOH QPPO-C18@PE: the water absorption rate at room temperature is 5.44 to 10.90 percent, the swelling rate is 1.38 to 1.61 percent, the ion selective permeability is 93.68 to 97.32 percent, and the surface resistance is 1.33 ohm cm 2 ~2.23Ωcm 2 Mechanical properties: the tensile strength is 46.33 MPa-62.19 MPa, and the elongation at break is 119.05-141.33%.
