Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a composition for forming a porous polymer layer and a method for preparing a reverse osmosis membrane using the same. Also, the present invention relates to a reverse osmosis membrane manufactured using the composition for forming a porous polymer layer and a water treatment module including the reverse osmosis membrane.
The phenomenon that the solvent moves between the two solutions separated by the semi-permeable membrane through the membrane from the solution with a low solute concentration to the solution with a high solute concentration is called osmotic phenomenon. The pressure acting on the solution side Is called osmotic pressure. However, when an external pressure higher than osmotic pressure is applied, the solvent moves toward the solution having a low solute concentration. This phenomenon is called reverse osmosis. By using the reverse osmosis principle, it is possible to separate various salts or organic substances through the semipermeable membrane using the pressure gradient as a driving force. Water treatment membranes using this reverse osmosis phenomenon have been used to supply water for domestic, architectural and industrial purposes by separating substances at a molecular level and removing salts from brine or seawater.
Typical examples of such a water treatment separation membrane include a polyamide-based water treatment separation membrane, and a polyamide-based water treatment separation membrane is produced by a method of forming a polyamide active layer on a microporous layer support. More specifically, Forming a microporous support by immersing the microporous support in an aqueous solution of m-Phenylene Diamine (mPD) to form an mPD layer, and then adding tri- mesoyl chloride, TMC) in an organic solvent so that the mPD layer is brought into contact with the TMC to perform interfacial polymerization, thereby forming a polyamide layer.
The permeation flux and the salt removal rate in the water treatment membrane are used as an important index indicating the performance of the membrane. Such performance is greatly affected by the active layer of the polyamide structure formed by the interface polymerization method.
Attempts have been made to increase the permeation flow rate with the change of the composition ratio of m-phenylenediamine (mPD) and trimethoyl chloride (TMC) used in the interfacial polymerization, but there is a limit in increasing the permeation flow rate due to such composition change.
The present invention provides a composition for forming a porous polymer layer capable of improving the flux of a reverse osmosis membrane and a method of preparing a reverse osmosis membrane using the same. The present application also provides a reverse osmosis membrane and a water treatment module manufactured by the above method.

Another embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a method of forming a porous polymer layer on a porous support using a composition for forming a porous polymer layer containing polysulfone and having a viscosity of 150 mPa.s to 300 mPa.s at a shear rate of 10 4 / And forming a polymer layer on the surface of the reverse osmosis membrane.

When a member is referred to herein as being "on " another member, it includes not only a member in contact with another member but also another member between the two members.
Whenever a component is referred to as "comprising ", it is to be understood that the component may include other components as well, without departing from the specification unless specifically stated otherwise.
One embodiment of the present disclosure provides a composition for forming a porous polymer layer comprising at least one of polysulfone and polyisocyanate and having a viscosity at a shear rate of 10 4 / s from 150 mPa.s to 300 mPa.s.
The composition for forming a porous polymer layer has a shear rate
) Shows shear thinning phenomenon with decreasing viscosity. The present inventors confirmed that the shear rate in the casting process of the porous polymer layer is about 10 4 / s as shown in the following equation. The inventors of the present invention have derived a suitable viscosity of the composition for forming a porous polymer layer from 150 mPa.s to 300 mPa.s at a shear rate by applying a power-law model to the viscosity value of the composition for forming a porous polymer layer. When the viscosity is less than 150 mPa.s, the viscosity is too low to form a polymer layer having a certain thickness. When the viscosity is more than 300 mPa.s, the quenching rate of the porous polymer layer is decreased to improve the flux Which is disadvantageous for further planning.According to one embodiment, the composition may comprise from 10 to 20% by weight of at least one of a polysulfone and a polyisocyanate, and a solvent balance.
In this specification, polysulfone and polyisaphyphone are commercially available. For example, polysulfone having a molecular weight of Mw of 125,000 to 130,000 and Mn of 70,000 to 75,000 may be used, and those containing the following structural structural units may be used according to an example.
For example, a polyisophthalon having a molecular weight of Mw of 50,000 to 60,000 may be used, and one having the following structural structural unit may be used according to one example.
As the solvent, those known in the art can be used. For example, dimethylformamide and polyethylene glycol can be used. According to one example, at least one of the polysulfone and the polyisocyanate may comprise 10 to 20 wt%, dimethylformamide 70 to 90 wt%, and polyethylene glycol 1 to 10 wt%.
As an example of the polyethylene glycol, those represented by the following structural formulas can be used, and n can be selected so that the molecular weight is 200-600 g / mol, preferably 400 g / mol.
Another embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a porous polymeric layer comprising at least one of a polysulfone and a polyisocyanate on a porous support and having a viscosity at a shear rate of 10 < 4 > / s from 150 mPa.s to 300 mPa.s And forming a porous polymer layer using the composition for forming a reverse osmosis membrane.
The manufacturing method of the reverse osmosis membrane may further include forming a polyamide layer on the porous polymer layer.
The porous polymer layer can be prepared by preparing a solution using the above-described composition and forming a layer by a coating method such as slot coating. During casting, the shear rate is determined by the die gap and the web velocity, and the thickness of the coating layer applied by the fluid injection rate and the web velocity is determined. In the coating process, since the fluid to the underlying porous support is permeated, the thickness of the coating layer applied may be thinner than the theoretical value. If necessary, a drying or curing process can be carried out.
When the pure water flux (PWF) was measured at a flow rate of 1 L / min and a pressure of 40 psi, the porous polymer layer thus prepared had a thickness of about 30 to 50 micrometers and a porosity of about 2,000 to 3,000 GFD Lt; / RTI >
The porous support may be a nonwoven fabric. The thickness of the nonwoven fabric may be 90-110 micrometers, and the nonwoven fabric pore size may be 3-10 micrometers on average, but is not limited thereto.
The total thickness of the porous support formed on the porous polymer layer may be in the range of 130-150 micrometers.
The polyamide layer may be prepared by coating a solution containing an amine compound on the porous polymer layer, followed by interfacial polymerization by contacting a solution containing an acyl halide compound.
The amine compound is not limited as long as it can be used in the polymerization of polyamide. Specific examples thereof include m-phenylenediamine (mPD), p-phenylenediamine (PPD), 1,3,6-benzenetriamine ), 4-chloro-1,3-phenylenediamine, 6-chloro-1,3-phenylenediamine, 3-chloro-1,4-phenylenediamine or a mixture thereof can be preferably used. The content of the amine compound may be 0.1 wt% or more and 20 wt% or less based on 100 wt% of the solution.
The acyl halide compound is not limited as long as it can be used in the polymerization of polyamides. Specific examples of the acyl halide compound include aromatic compounds having 2 to 3 carboxylic acid halides such as trimethoyl chloride, isophthaloyl chloride and terephthaloyl And a mixture of two or more selected from the group consisting of chlorides. The content of the acyl halide compound may be 0.05 wt% or more and 1 wt% or less based on 100 wt% of the solution.
For example, the solution containing the amine compound may further contain water, acetone, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP), hexamethylphosphoramide can do.
For example, the solution containing the acyl halide compound may further include an organic solvent. Examples of the organic solvent include aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents such as Freon and hydrophobic liquids such as hexane, cyclohexane, heptane and alkane having 5 to 12 carbon atoms which are immiscible with water, for example, alkanes having 5 to 12 carbon atoms And mixtures thereof, such as IsoPar (Exxon), ISOL-C (SK Chem), and ISOL-G (Exxon).
In the above production process, when an amine compound and an acyl halide compound are brought into contact with each other, an amine compound and an acyl halide compound react with each other to form a polyamide by interfacial polymerization, and a thin film is formed on the microporous support. The contact may be made by an immersion, spraying or coating method. As the interfacial polymerization conditions, those known in the art can be used.
The method of forming a layer using a solution containing an amine compound on the porous polymer layer is not particularly limited. For example, spraying, coating, immersion, dropping, etc. may be used.
The preparation method may further include a step of removing a solution containing an excess amine compound as needed before the amine compound and the acyl halide compound are contacted. When the solution containing the amine compound formed on the porous polymer layer is excessively large, the composition in the solution may be uneven. When the composition in the solution is nonuniform, the non-uniform active layer may be formed by subsequent interfacial polymerization. Therefore, it is preferable to remove the excess solution after forming the solution layer containing the amine compound on the porous support. The removal of the excess solution is not particularly limited, but can be performed using, for example, a sponge, an air knife, nitrogen gas blowing, natural drying, or a compression roll.

Here, the thickness of the porous polymer layer may be about 30-50 micrometers.
The reverse osmosis membrane may further include an additional layer as required. For example, the reverse osmosis membrane may further include an anti-fouling layer provided on the polyamide active layer.
