Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an ion exchange membrane for water treatment using a porous support,

The present invention relates to an ion exchange membrane for water treatment, and more particularly, to an ion exchange membrane for ED (Electrodialysis) and RED (reverse electrodialysis) and a method for producing the same.

The ion exchange membrane is capable of selectively separating cations and anions in the aqueous solution, and can be used for a wide variety of applications such as fuel cells, electrodialysis, electrodialysis for water decomposition for acid and base recovery, diffusion dialysis for recovering acid and metal species from acid waste, In recent years, the application range of the ion exchange membrane has been expanded as a high performance ion exchange membrane is developed.

Ion exchange membranes must have high selectivity, low permeability of solvents and non-ionic solutes, low resistance to diffusion of selected permeate ions, high mechanical strength and chemical resistance. Such an ion exchange membrane is required to have excellent mechanical strength and durability. Methods commonly used to meet such demands include a method of producing a hybrid composite membrane by adding an inorganic substance, a hot pressing method of hot pressing the catalyst mixture, and a method of adding a hardening agent.

In the hybrid composite membrane manufacturing method, if the swelling phenomenon of the membrane is continued, there is a gap between the inorganic substance and the polymer membrane of the membrane, so that a proper ion exchange ability can not be exhibited. The hot press method in which the catalyst mixture is heated and pressed has a disadvantage in that the catalyst layer is dissolved over time. Also, the method of adding a curing agent also has a disadvantage that the curing agent is dissolved over time. It has been required to develop an ion exchange membrane having high durability and excellent mechanical properties due to the above-mentioned problems.

Currently, commercialized ion exchange membranes used in fuel cell membranes, electrode membranes, etc. are sulfonated polystyrene, Nafion TM (hereinafter referred to as "Nafion") manufactured by Du Pont, and the like. However, when sulfonated polystyrene is dried, it is broken due to increase of brittleness, which makes it difficult to form into a thin film or a composite film, and has a disadvantage that mechanical stability is poor when it is processed into an electrode. In order to improve such disadvantages, there is a method of controlling the sulfonation ratio of polystyrene or a method of increasing the thickness of the membrane. At this time, the membrane resistance is increased and the ion exchange ability of the membrane is remarkably decreased, When the system is manufactured, the volume is increased and the space is limited. In addition, Nafion has been used as an ion exchange membrane due to its high conductivity and chemical stability as a fluorine-based material. However, Nafion is very expensive due to the fluorine compound contained therein and has a disadvantage that its use at a high temperature is limited. In fact, expensive ion-exchange membranes such as Nafion have a great effect on the actual battery operation and are pointed out as a cause of increasing the manufacturing cost of the battery. The unit price of perfluorosulfonic acid ion exchange membrane such as Nafion TM is about 1 million won / m 2 , which is one of the problems to be solved.

A variety of studies have been conducted on non-fluorine ion exchange membranes that are inexpensive and cost effective. Especially, sulfonated polyarylene ether sulfone (SPES), sulfonated polyetherether ketone (SPEEK), polybenzimidazole (PBI), sulfonated polysulfone (SPSf) Studies on the polymers of the family have been extensively conducted.

Non-fluorinated polymeric materials have been tested for the possibility of new materials by controlling various factors such as introduction of various functional groups, arrangement of polymer chains, and control of molecular weight. However, most of the materials have limited limitations in practical applications due to their low chemical / physical stability compared to their excellent electrical performance. Therefore, various methods have been proposed to improve the performance of the polymer material. However, the results of these efforts show low ion selectivity and low durability.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The ion exchange membrane for water treatment according to one embodiment includes a polyolefin matrix (base material), a porous support including a nanoparticle inorganic filler dispersed in the polyolefin matrix, and an anion conductor adsorbed to the porous support. The ion exchange membrane may be formed to have a thickness of 10 to 100 mu m. Such an ion exchange membrane for water treatment can be applied, for example, as an ion exchange membrane for ED (Electrodialysis) and RED (Reverse Electrolysis), and has a low manufacturing cost and excellent mechanical properties and chemical stability.

Preferably, the porous support is prepared by biaxial stretching and has an air permeability of less than 70 to 180 seconds, a porosity of 40 to 80%, and a pore diameter of 0.1 to 50 占 퐉. The diameter of the pores may be adjusted to the size of the ions for which selective permeation is required.

The polyolefin membrane, which is the base material of the porous support, is selected from among high density polyethylene (HDPE), ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), polypropylene (PP), and polymethylpentene In particular, the polyolefin membrane, which is the base material of the porous support, can be made of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) in an amount of 5-50% of the total weight of the porous support, high density polyethylene HDPE) in an amount of 5-20% based on the total weight and 5-20% based on the total weight of polypropylene.

In this case, the ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has a molecular weight of 100-500,000 and a dispersion degree (dispersion) of 3-6, and high density polyethylene (HDPE) has a weight average molecular weight of 30-70,000 Molecular weight and a degree of dispersion (degree of dispersion) of from 3 to 6, and the polypropylene preferably has a molecular weight of from 10 to 20,000 in weight average molecular weight and a degree of dispersion (dispersity) of from 3 to 6.

When the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) or the high density polyethylene resin and the polypropylene resin are melt-kneaded in the extruder (Mixing at Melt State), a small amount of compatibilizer can be added. For example, a plasticizer, a processing agent, or an antioxidant may be added. In particular, a plasticizer or a processability-improving agent may be added to each of high-density polyethylene, polypropylene, and polymethylpentene resin to improve compatibility It is preferable that it is composed of an ethylene oligomer-based material.

Nanoparticles, inorganic filler can be applied to a silica (SiO 2), TiO 2, Al 2 O 3, zeolite (zeolite), AlOOH, BaTiO2, talc (Talk), Al (OH) 3, CaCO 3 at least one selected from and , Preferably 10 nm to 6 탆, and hydrophilized surface-treated nanomaterials, and more preferably the spherical particle size is 50 nm-1 탆. The addition ratio of the surface-treated nanoparticle inorganic filler is preferably 10 to 50% by weight based on the total weight of the entire porous support. If the inorganic filler is added in an amount of 50% or more based on the total weight of the nanoparticle, the mechanical strength of the porous support decreases. If less than 10% of the inorganic filler is added, the inorganic filler does not work.

Hydrophobic surface treatment Nanoparticle silica (SiO 2 ) has various sizes and shapes depending on the production process. In the present invention, as shown in the SEM image, the spherical type is most suitable. According to such a sol-gel synthesis method, it is possible to produce nano-sized particles having a small average particle size and a narrow particle size distribution.

In addition, it is preferable that silica (SiO 2 ) is coated with hydrophobic (linear hydrocarbon) molecules on its surface. Since the silica itself has a hydrophilic property, it can be seen that a nanoparticle spherical type silica coated with a straight chain hydrocarbon molecule is suitable for improving compatibility with a polyolefin resin originally hydrophobic.

That is, the nanoparticle inorganic filler is spherical nanosilica having a size of 10 nm to 600 nm and preferably has an ethylene surface treatment. At this time, the nanoparticle inorganic filler is preferably contained in an amount of 10 to 50 wt% based on the total weight of the ion exchange membrane for water treatment. Nanoparticle inorganic filler has relatively good physical / chemical properties and thus has high mechanical strength (tensile strength, puncture strength) and acid resistance and fire resistance, so that it can maintain high effect even in long term operation .

The anionic conductor may have the following chemical structure.

In addition, it is preferable that the step of biaxially stretching the porous support (S600) is 80-150% stretching in both the transverse direction and the longitudinal direction at a temperature of 100-200 占 폚.

In order to obtain higher mechanical properties, the porous support is immersed in a solvent to remove paraffin oil (S700). After the stretching, 5-20% stretching is performed in each of the transverse and longitudinal directions, followed by 3-10% shrinkage after 20-120 seconds And a second elongating step (s710) for heat setting (heat setting).

The step S800 of immersing the porous support in the anion conductor solution or applying the anion conductor solution to the porous support may include an anion conductor solution such as aminated PAES, aminated PEK, aminated PEEK, polyether ether ketone, , aminated PS (polysulfone), aminated PES (polyether sulfone), aminated PPO (polyphenylene oxide) and aminated PPS (polyphenylene sulfide), and the mixture is stirred at 80 to 150 ° C. for 30 minutes to 2 hours (S810); Raising the temperature to 150 to 180 캜, refluxing with toluene for 3 to 6 hours to remove water as a reaction product (S820); Further increasing the temperature to 190 to 250 캜 to completely remove residual toluene from the dean-stark trap and reacting for 20 to 48 hours (S830); The reaction solution is diluted and filtered, and then poured into water to precipitate and filter in the form of swollen fiber (S840); 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane to chloromethylate the copolymer (S850); And (S860) amination of the chloromethylated polyarylene ether sulfone copolymer by dissolving it in dimethylacetamide (DMAc) at room temperature.

3. Porosity (%)

The porous support sample film is cut into a predetermined size, and the weight is measured with an electronic scale. Density is measured using a density gradient method in the absence of pores (eg after cooling after melting). Then, the theoretical weight of the film weight and the cut size is calculated by the measured density value, and then the porosity is calculated.

4. Puncture Strength

Prepare a porous support sample of 100 mm * 50 mm. Measure the force at the time when the porous support sample is pierced by applying force with a stick by using a KATOTECH Co.'s pendulum strength meter.

[Equation 1]

Water uptake (%) = [(W wet -W dry ) / W dry ] x 100

6. Measurement of dimensional stability

The dimensional stability was measured in the same manner as the water absorption rate measurement method, but instead of weighing, the area change of the membrane was measured and then calculated by the following equation (2).

&Quot; (2) "

Dimensional change ratio (%) = [(membrane area wet-membrane area dry) / membrane area dry] x 100

7. Ion conductivity measurement

The ionic conductivity of the nanocomposite electrolyte membranes prepared in Examples and Comparative Examples was measured using a measuring instrument (VSP-300 Impedance / Gain-Phase analyzer, Neoscience Co., Ltd.). At this time, the impedance spectrum was recorded from 10 MHz to 10 Hz, and the ion conductivity was calculated by the following equation (3).

&Quot; (3) "

Ion conductivity (S / cm); ? = (1 / R) x (L / A)

(Where R is the measurement resistance (?), L is the length (cm) between the measurement electrodes, and A is the cross-sectional area (cm 2) of the electrolyte membrane produced.

As shown in Table 2, the water-treating ion exchange membrane according to the present invention showed excellent physical properties having a high ion conductivity (6.343 mS / cm) even at a low film thickness (1.198 W cm 2).

That is, the ion exchange membrane for water treatment according to the embodiment of the present invention is less expensive than the fluorine ion exchange membrane such as the conventional Nafion. In addition, the physical and chemical properties are relatively excellent because they are composed of a polyolefin-based organic / inorganic composite membrane in which inorganic pellets such as nano-silica particles are uniformly dispersed while being inexpensive. With such a constitution, it has high mechanical strength (tensile strength, puncture strength) and acid resistance and refractory characteristics, and maintains high effect even in long term stability. Also, the ion exchange effect by the anion conductor adsorbed on the porous support and the movement of the ions through the micropores can be freely controlled, and the pore size can be controlled to block the specific ions at a physical size, so that a high selective permeability can be expected.
