Preparation of high boron removal reverse osmosis membrane by embedding fatty acid molecules after swelling
A high boron removal reverse osmosis membrane was prepared by modifying the polyamide reverse osmosis membrane by the“swelling-embedding-shrinking”method. Swelling by methanol increases the distance between the polymer chains
providing a place for the embedding of fatty acid (decanoic acid) molecules. Under the action of pressure and concentration polarization
the modified molecules are selectively embedded in the pores of the polyamide membrane. When the methanol molecules leave
the polyamide membrane shrinks to immobilize the decanoic acid molecules in the polymer network. This experiment increases the boron removal rate of the reverse osmosis membrane by increasing steric hindrance and reducing polarity (reducing hydrogen bonding sites). The experimental results show that the boron removal rate and the salt rejection rate of the modified membrane are both increased. The salt rejection rate is increased from 90.36% to 96.46%
and the boron removal rate is increased from 47.85% to 77.32%. In addition
the boron concentration in the permeate is less than 2.4 mg/L to meet emission standards (WTO). Although the permeability of water and boron decreased
the permeability selectivity of water and boron increased
which proves that the method is advantageous for increasing the selectivity of water and boron.
