Preparation and Performance Control of Orcinol Composite Nanofiltration Membrane for Dimethyl Sulfoxide Recovery
OSN Membrane Prepared from Orcinol
Keywords:
Orcinol, solvent resistance, dimethyl sulfoxide, trimesoyl chloride, interfacial polymerization, ureaAbstract
As a new separation technology, organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) membrane technology has been increasingly applied in the separation of small molecular compounds in various organic solvents due to its energy saving and high efficiency. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is an important solvent in pharmaceutical and catalytic industries, and its recovery has attracted more and more attention. An OSN membrane is firstly constructed by orcinol (OL) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) via interfacial polymerization (IP). The prepared OSN membrane achieves a crystal violet (CV, 407.99 g/mol) rejection of higher than 92% and a DMSO permeance of 3.0 L m-2 h-1 bar-1. The chemical characterization methods such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy are used to indicate that the composite membrane is composed of a polyarylester top layer. To enhance the permeance while maintaining its superior rejection toward CV in DMSO, urea is used as a modifier during IP process. As consequence, the hydrophobicity of the membrane surface is improved, the contact angle increases from 62o to 85o, and the modified poly(amide-co-ester) structure on the top layer was formed. The permeance of urea modified membrane reaches 4.7 L m-2 h-1 bar-1. The long-term OSN filtration showed that the membrane had a DMSO permeance of 4.6 L m-2 h-1 bar-1, with CV rejections over 90%. The architecture of the poly(amide-co-ester) top-layer provides a new route for the fabrication of OSN membranes.
