The pervasive discharge of oil-contaminated wastewater and marine oil spills poses severe ecological and economic threats, demanding efficient and sustainable remediation strategies. This review evaluates the transformative potential of waste plastic upcycling through tailored polymer modification for high-performance oil-water separation. Chemical (e.g., cross-linking, grafting, plasma treatment) and physical (e.g., blending, coating, electrospinning) modification strategies were systematically examined for their efficacy in precisely engineering polymer wettability (superhydrophobic/superoleophilic or superhydrophilic/superoleophobic) and microstructure. These modifications enable the fabrication of advanced separation materials, including highly porous adsorbents (sponges, foams, aerogels) and functional membranes (superwetting, Janus). Significantly, it is demonstrated that modified waste plastics can achieve exceptional separation efficiency, high flux, and robust cycling stability, rivaling conventional materials. Key mechanisms (wettability differentiation, porous adsorption, and size exclusion) are elucidated, alongside critical performance factors like hierarchical porosity and chemical stability. Our analysis reveals that this “waste-treats-waste” paradigm not only offers effective environmental remediation but also significantly advances plastic circularity. Future research should prioritize enhancing material durability under extreme conditions, developing stimuli-responsive smart materials, and scaling green modification processes. This work establishes a comprehensive framework for leveraging polymer science to simultaneously address plastic pollution and water contamination sustainably.
含油废水和海洋溢油的普遍排放造成了严重的生态和经济威胁,需要有效和可持续的补救策略。本文综述了通过定制聚合物改性实现高性能油水分离的废塑料升级回收的变革潜力。系统地研究了化学(如交联、接枝、等离子体处理)和物理(如共混、涂层、静电纺丝)改性策略在精确工程聚合物润湿性(超疏水/超亲油或超亲水/超疏油)和微观结构方面的效果。这些改进使得制造先进的分离材料成为可能,包括高多孔吸附剂(海绵、泡沫、气凝胶)和功能膜(超湿膜、Janus)。值得注意的是,改性废塑料可以实现卓越的分离效率,高通量和强大的循环稳定性,与传统材料相媲美。关键机制(润湿性分化、多孔吸附和尺寸排除)以及分级孔隙度和化学稳定性等关键性能因素都得到了阐明。我们的分析表明,这种“废物-处理-废物”的模式不仅提供了有效的环境修复,而且显著推进了塑料的循环利用。未来的研究应优先考虑提高材料在极端条件下的耐久性,开发响应刺激的智能材料,以及规模化的绿色改性工艺。这项工作为利用聚合物科学同时可持续地解决塑料污染和水污染建立了一个全面的框架。

The photocatalytic technology can effectively extract U(VI) from seawater. Nevertheless, the high concentration of carbonate in seawater can combine with U(VI) to produce uranyl carbonate, suppressing the photocatalytic reduction. Herein, amino functionalized C doped g-C3N4 (GCN-E) was synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method and demonstrated superior U(VI) extraction efficiency under carbonate-rich conditions. The photoreduction rate of GCN-E was 84 and 8.6 times higher than that of C doped g-C3N4 (GCN) and water treated C doped g-C3N4 (GCN-W), respectively. The remarkable activity originated from the synergy between C doping and amino grafting. C doping can generate numerous unsaturated sites, which provide a foundation for the successful grafting of amino groups. The combination effectively modulated the electronic structure of g-C3N4, thus facilitating the migration of photogenerated carriers and enhancing light absorption. The high selectivity of the amino groups for U(VI) contributed to an improved reduction rate.
光催化技术可以有效地从海水中提取U(VI)。但海水中高浓度的碳酸盐可以与U(VI)结合生成碳酸铀酰,抑制了光催化还原。本文采用简单的水热合成法合成了氨基官能化C掺杂g-C3N4 (GCN-E),并在富碳酸盐条件下表现出优异的U(VI)萃取效率。GCN- e的光还原率分别是C掺杂g-C3N4 (GCN)和水处理C掺杂g-C3N4 (GCN- w)的84倍和8.6倍。这种显著的活性源于C掺杂和氨基接枝的协同作用。C掺杂可以产生大量的不饱和位点,为氨基的成功接枝提供了基础。该组合有效地调制了g-C3N4的电子结构,从而促进了光生载流子的迁移,增强了光吸收。氨基对U(VI)的高选择性有助于提高还原率。

The sustainable management of phosphorus, a vital yet scarce resource, is severely challenged by its excessive discharge into water bodies, which causes eutrophication. Achieving ultralow phosphate concentrations while enabling efficient recovery demands advanced materials that transcend the capacity and functionality limits of conventional adsorbents. Herein, we report a rationally designed MnLa-layered double hydroxide (LDH) with synergistic redox-acid bifunctional sites for self-regenerative phosphate capture and recovery. This material achieves an exceptional adsorption capacity of 108.87 mg P/g and reduces phosphate to trace levels below 0.012 mg/L, surpassing stringent eutrophication thresholds. Crucially, the MnLa-LDH exhibits self-enhanced functionality: the La3+ acid sites provide strong Lewis acidity for specific inner-sphere complexation, while the adjacent Mn2+/Mn3+ redox couples act as a molecular engine to dynamically regenerate surface hydroxyl groups, sustaining high activity over multiple cycles. Systematic characterization confirms that phosphate uptake triggers a dynamic structural self-optimization, remarkably increasing the specific surface area by 112.6 %. The material demonstrates broad pH adaptability, high selectivity, and outstanding reusability (87.5 % capacity retention after 10 cycles) with 92.3 % phosphate recovery. This work provides a novel design paradigm for smart environmental functional materials based on synergistic site engineering, paving the way for sustainable water treatment and closed-loop resource circulation.
磷是一种重要而稀缺的资源,其过量排放到水体中造成富营养化,严重挑战了磷的可持续管理。实现超低磷酸盐浓度,同时实现高效回收,需要超越传统吸附剂容量和功能限制的先进材料。在此,我们报告了一种合理设计的mnla层状双氢氧化物(LDH),具有协同氧化还原-酸双功能位点,用于自我再生磷酸盐捕获和恢复。该材料达到了108.87 mg P/g的优异吸附能力,并将磷酸盐降至0.012 mg/L以下的痕量水平,超过了严格的富营养化阈值。至关重要的是,MnLa-LDH表现出自我增强的功能:La3+酸位点为特定的球内络合提供了强刘易斯酸,而相邻的Mn2+/Mn3+氧化还原对充当分子引擎,动态再生表面羟基,在多个循环中保持高活性。系统表征证实,磷酸盐摄取触发动态结构自优化,显着增加了112.6%的比表面积。该材料具有广泛的pH适应性,高选择性和出色的可重复使用性(10个循环后容量保留率为87.5%),磷酸盐回收率为92.3%。本研究为基于协同场地工程的智能环境功能材料提供了一种新的设计范式,为可持续水处理和资源闭环循环铺平了道路。

In conventional multi-element seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) pressure vessels (CPVs), lead spiral wound elements (SWEs) are disproportionately stressed with high flux while tail SWEs are underutilized with low flux; this flux imbalance leads to high concentration polarization and fouling in the lead elements, and increased energy consumption overall. This study explores the performance implications of a novel bypass pressure vessel (BPV) design that permits feed bypass flow to downstream SWRO membrane elements. System-level simulations and Pareto front optimizations demonstrate this configuration can reduce specific energy consumption (SEC) by up to 9 % or, alternatively, increase water productivity by over 30 % depending on the bypass flow scheme. The BPV design achieves this by distributing the feed water more evenly across all SWEs, which levels the flux, cross-flow, pressure, and concentration axial profiles. A comprehensive numerical model incorporating pressure, flow, and solute transport equations simulated local hydrodynamic and mass transfer phenomena within each element. Performance analysis across varying salinity, temperature, and flow regimes confirms the BPV design improves energy efficiency and membrane utilization, supporting its potential for site-specific optimization of water recovery, energy use, and treatment performance in seawater desalination.
在传统的多单元海水反渗透(SWRO)压力容器(CPVs)中,在高通量条件下,导螺旋缠绕元件(SWEs)受力不成比例,而在低通量条件下,尾螺旋缠绕元件未得到充分利用;这种通量不平衡导致铅元素高浓度极化和结垢,总体上增加了能耗。本研究探讨了一种新型旁路压力容器(BPV)设计的性能影响,该设计允许向下游SWRO膜元件提供旁路流。系统级模拟和帕累托前沿优化表明,这种配置可以将比能耗(SEC)降低9%,或者根据旁通流方案,将水生产率提高30%以上。BPV设计通过在所有ses中更均匀地分配给水来实现这一目标,从而使通量、横流、压力和浓度轴向分布均匀。综合了压力、流动和溶质输运方程的数值模型模拟了每个元素内部的局部流体动力学和传质现象。在不同盐度、温度和流量条件下的性能分析证实,BPV设计提高了能源效率和膜利用率,支持其在海水淡化中特定地点优化水回收、能源利用和处理性能的潜力。

Produced water (PW) treatment for beneficial reuse has garnered significant interest as a strategy to enhance environmental sustainability of oil and gas industry and augment regional freshwater supplies. Robust treatment systems are required to purify the hypersaline PW to meet water quality requirements for fit-for-purpose applications. This pilot study demonstrated innovative processes to treat PW from the Permian Basin, including pretreatment, multistage fractional freeze desalination (FD), granular activated carbon filtration, and seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO). The feasibility of utilizing the purified PW for agricultural irrigation, land application, and instream-flow augmentation via surface water discharge was explored by comprehensive characterization of the PW quality. In addition to routine water quality monitoring on site, six water sampling events were conducted over a ten-month field demonstration period to evaluate comprehensive water quality and assess the treatment efficiency of both individual unit processes and the overall integrated treatment train. Over 440 analytes were quantified, including metals, anions, volatile organic compounds, semi-volatile organic compounds across various groups, and radionuclides. This paper focuses on the separation performance of bulk, inorganic, and radionuclides. The findings illuminated that integrating the novel FD system into the treatment train effectively removed the majority of ions, enhancing the desalination capacity of the subsequent SWRO system to an overall removal of ~99 %. This study demonstrates that a treatment train incorporating FD with SWRO, and appropriate pre- and post-treatment, can facilitate PW reuse to address the critical challenges of water scarcity and brine management.
采出水(PW)的有效再利用作为提高油气行业环境可持续性和增加区域淡水供应的一种策略,已经引起了人们的极大兴趣。需要强大的处理系统来净化高盐PW,以满足适合用途应用的水质要求。该试点研究展示了处理二叠纪盆地PW的创新工艺,包括预处理、多级分级冷冻脱盐(FD)、颗粒活性炭过滤和海水反渗透(SWRO)。通过对污水水质的综合表征,探讨了净化后的污水用于农业灌溉、土地利用和地表水排放增加溪流流量的可行性。除了常规的现场水质监测外,在为期10个月的现场示范期内进行了6次水采样活动,以评估综合水质,并评估单个单元工艺和整体综合处理系统的处理效率。超过440种分析物被量化,包括金属、阴离子、挥发性有机化合物、不同基团的半挥发性有机化合物和放射性核素。本文主要研究了固体核素、无机核素和放射性核素的分离性能。研究结果表明,将新型FD系统集成到处理系统中可以有效地去除大部分离子,从而将后续SWRO系统的脱盐能力提高到99%。该研究表明,结合FD和SWRO的处理系统,以及适当的预处理和后处理,可以促进PW的再利用,以解决水资源短缺和盐水管理的关键挑战。

Large-scale simulations of multi-physics coupling in sea ice require enormous computational resources, which currently restricts simulation studies to the micrometer scale. This study integrates the phase-field method (PF) and lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) to develop a CPU-accelerated PF-LBM coupled model, investigating two characteristic sea ice formation scenarios: homogeneous nucleation with single-crystal growth and directional growth during ice-layer formation on cold walls. The simulations capture both single-crystal formation and polycrystalline competitive growth during seawater freezing, elucidating dendrite morphology evolution, solute redistribution, and thermal field dynamics. The tri-field that coupled phase-concentration-temperature simulation successfully reproduces single-crystal branching and brine pocket formation under directional crystallization, with results matching experimental observations, thereby validating the model. To address the technical requirements of complex multi-physics coupling and strong dynamic characteristics of physical processes in phase-field lattice Boltzmann method (PF-LBM) simulations for seawater freezing desalination, as well as the computational efficiency bottleneck in large-scale sea ice dendrite growth simulations, this study for the first time applies the subdomain partitioning and boundary synchronization strategy based on Python CPU multiprocessing Pool to this field. Compared with the issues that the CUDA architecture requires splitting and reconstructing computational functions, and MPI tends to cause communication blocking under dynamic loads, this strategy can directly reuse serial code, dynamically match the heterogeneous load of the ice crystal growth process, and fully utilize multi-core CPU resources, thereby effectively improving simulation efficiency. Computational performance analysis of the CPU-accelerated 2D PF-LBM model demonstrates that the parallel model achieves an optimal acceleration ratio of 8.15 with 40 processes when simulating single-crystal ice growth; an acceleration ratio of 6 is attained with 50 processes for simulating the directional growth of polycrystalline ice. A comparison between serial and parallel results shows strict consistency in both the output contour plots and quantitative data, which fully validates the reliability and computational accuracy of the parallel acceleration model. This study introduces a parallel computing method, aiming to offer an efficient solution for optimizing large-scale phase-field simulations in seawater freezing desalination technology.
海冰中多物理场耦合的大规模模拟需要大量的计算资源,目前的模拟研究仅限于微米尺度。本研究结合相场法(PF)和晶格玻尔兹曼法(LBM)建立了一个cpu加速的PF-LBM耦合模型,研究了两种典型的海冰形成情景:单晶生长的均匀成核和冷壁上冰层形成过程中的定向生长。模拟捕获了海水冻结过程中单晶形成和多晶竞争生长,阐明了枝晶形态演化、溶质再分配和热场动力学。三场相-浓度-温度耦合模拟成功再现了定向结晶条件下的单晶分支和盐袋形成过程,结果与实验观测结果吻合,从而验证了模型的有效性。针对相场晶格玻尔兹曼方法(PF-LBM)模拟海水冻结淡化过程中复杂的多物理场耦合和物理过程的强动态特性的技术要求,以及大规模海冰枝晶生长模拟的计算效率瓶颈,本研究首次将基于Python CPU多处理池的子域划分和边界同步策略应用于该领域。相对于CUDA架构需要拆分和重构计算功能,以及MPI在动态负载下容易造成通信阻塞等问题,该策略可以直接复用串行代码,动态匹配冰晶生长过程的异构负载,充分利用多核CPU资源,从而有效提高仿真效率。对cpu加速二维PF-LBM模型的计算性能分析表明,并行模型在模拟单晶冰生长时,40道工序的最优加速比为8.15;用50次过程模拟多晶冰的定向生长,得到了6的加速比。串行和并行结果的对比表明,输出等高线图和定量数据具有严格的一致性,充分验证了并行加速模型的可靠性和计算精度。本研究引入了一种并行计算方法,旨在为海水冷冻淡化技术中大规模相场模拟的优化提供一种有效的解决方案。

Compared with the issues that the CUDA architecture requires splitting and reconstructing computational functions, and MPI tends to cause communication blocking under dynamic loads, this strategy can directly reuse serial code, dynamically match the heterogeneous load of the ice crystal growth process, and fully utilize multi-core CPU resources, thereby effectively improving simulation efficiency. Computational performance analysis of the CPU-accelerated 2D PF-LBM model demonstrates that the parallel model achieves an optimal acceleration ratio of 8.15 with 40 processes when simulating single-crystal ice growth; an acceleration ratio of 6 is attained with 50 processes for simulating the directional growth of polycrystalline ice. A comparison between serial and parallel results shows strict consistency in both the output contour plots and quantitative data, which fully validates the reliability and computational accuracy of the parallel acceleration model. This study introduces a parallel computing method, aiming to offer an efficient solution for optimizing large-scale phase-field simulations in seawater freezing desalination technology.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":299,"journal":{"name":"Desalination","volume":"621 ","pages":"Article 119749"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2025-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145734786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Metal hexacyanoferrates are useful materials for electrochemical recovery of valuable trace minerals from seawater. However, operational applications critically require a high electrode capacity and high capability for preferential extraction of low concentration target cations among abundant competing ions. We successfully fabricated high-porosity, high-areal-loading nickel hexacyanoferrate (NiHCF) foam electrodes. Here, we compared their selectivity coefficient for potassium ion (K+) adsorption with that of thick-film electrodes with similar areal and total loadings, fabricated from the same NiHCF slurry, and with the selectivity coefficient for ion exchange reactions of NiHCF powder. Galvanostatic charge/discharge tests in pseudo-seawater, a two-cation solution with K+ and sodium ion (Na+) concentrations representative of seawater values, yielded a foam electrode K+ adsorption selectivity similar to the NiHCF powder selectivity for ion exchange reactions and five times higher than the thick-film electrode K+ adsorption selectivity. These results demonstrate that the porous foam structure promoted the formation of ion transport channels, whereas transport was suppressed in thick-film electrodes because of an insufficient K+ supply. Charge transfer and ion diffusion kinetics data from cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements confirmed the excellent selectivity of our foam electrodes, while additional adsorption/desorption tests in real seawater illustrated their promising performance under realistic operational conditions.
金属六氰高铁酸盐是电化学回收海水中有价微量矿物质的有用材料。然而,操作应用迫切需要高电极容量和高能力,以便在大量竞争离子中优先提取低浓度的目标阳离子。我们成功地制备了高孔隙率、高负载面积的六氰高铁酸镍(NiHCF)泡沫电极。在这里,我们比较了它们对钾离子(K+)的选择性系数与由相同NiHCF浆料制成的具有相似面积和总负荷量的厚膜电极的选择性系数,以及NiHCF粉末离子交换反应的选择性系数。在模拟海水(K+和钠离子(Na+)浓度代表海水值的双阳离子溶液)中进行恒流充放电试验,泡沫电极对K+的吸附选择性与离子交换反应中NiHCF粉末的选择性相似,比厚膜电极对K+的吸附选择性高5倍。这些结果表明,多孔泡沫结构促进了离子传输通道的形成,而在厚膜电极中,由于K+供应不足,传输受到抑制。循环伏安法和电化学阻抗谱测量的电荷转移和离子扩散动力学数据证实了我们的泡沫电极具有出色的选择性,而在真实海水中进行的额外吸附/解吸测试也证明了它们在实际操作条件下的良好性能。

Reverse electrodialysis (RED) generates energy from salinity gradients between water sources such as seawater and river water, separated by ion-exchange membranes. Although RED is a promising technology for sustainable power generation, its performance is limited by low power density. Lowering the ion concentration in the dilute solution enhances the salinity gradient but also increases resistance, creating a fundamental trade-off. Here, we introduce a new strategy to resolve this limitation by adding non-permeable ions to the dilute electrolyte. Confined by monovalent selective membranes, these ions reduce resistance while preserving the salinity gradient, thereby boosting current flux. Using MgSO4 as a model additive, we demonstrate up to 168 % improvement in power density compared with conventional RED systems. The system using only MgSO4 in the dilute electrolyte achieved a maximum power density of 0.74 W/m2 at 15.2 A/m2, maintaining 93.9 % of its initial performance over 144 h. This finding overturns prior assumptions about the detrimental role of multivalent ions and highlights their potential as performance enhancers. Supported by experiments and numerical simulations, our study establishes a new design principle for advancing RED and other membrane-based energy conversion technologies.
反向电渗析(RED)通过离子交换膜分离的海水和河水等水源之间的盐度梯度产生能量。虽然RED是一种很有前途的可持续发电技术,但其性能受到低功率密度的限制。降低稀溶液中的离子浓度会增强盐度梯度,但也会增加阻力,从而产生一种基本的权衡。在这里,我们介绍了一种新的策略,通过在稀电解质中添加不渗透离子来解决这一限制。在单价选择性膜的限制下,这些离子在保持盐度梯度的同时降低了阻力,从而提高了电流通量。使用MgSO4作为模型添加剂,我们证明与传统的RED系统相比,功率密度提高了168%。在15.2 a /m2的条件下,仅使用MgSO4的系统实现了0.74 W/m2的最大功率密度,在144小时内保持了93.9%的初始性能。这一发现推翻了先前关于多价离子有害作用的假设,并突出了它们作为性能增强剂的潜力。在实验和数值模拟的支持下,我们的研究为推进RED和其他基于膜的能量转换技术建立了新的设计原则。

To address the challenges of low adsorption capacity and biofouling in uranium extraction from seawater, this study developed an in situ synthesized ZIF-8-decorated Polyamidoxime (PAO@ZIF-8) nanofiber membrane through a stepwise impregnation in situ synthesis strategy. Leveraging the PAO electrospinning process and the uniform, controllable growth of ZIF-8, PAO@ZIF-8 exhibits abundant adsorption sites and a substantial specific surface area (236.46 m2/g). Adsorption experiments demonstrate that PAO@ZIF-8 achieves a peak adsorption capacity of 375 mg/g for uranyl ions at pH 8.0. The adsorption data are in agreement with the Langmuir isotherm model and consistent with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, supporting monolayer chemisorption as the principal mechanism. Over five cycles of adsorption and desorption, PAO@ZIF-8 demonstrates remarkable reusability and stability. XPS and DFT calculations revealed that the superior uranium adsorption performance of PAO@ZIF-8 originates from the synergistic adsorption between the nitrogen and oxygen atoms in amidoxime groups and the imidazole nitrogen atoms of ZIF-8. Furthermore, PAO@ZIF-8 exhibited outstanding anti-biofouling properties, achieving antibacterial rates exceeding 99 % against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Vibrio alginolyticus. After 56-day field test of circulated natural seawater, the material exhibited an adsorption capacity of 10.29 mg/g. Collectively, these findings indicate that PAO@ZIF-8 provided a novel dual-functional adsorbent with high-efficiency synergistic adsorption and excellent anti-biofouling properties as a solution for uranium extraction from seawater in practical applications.
为了解决海水提铀过程中存在的吸附能力低和生物污染等问题,本研究采用分步浸渍原位合成的方法制备了一种原位合成的zif -8修饰聚偕胺肟纳米纤维膜(PAO@ZIF-8)。利用PAO静电纺丝工艺和ZIF-8的均匀可控生长,PAO@ZIF-8具有丰富的吸附位点和可观的比表面积(236.46 m2/g)。吸附实验表明,PAO@ZIF-8在pH 8.0时对铀酰离子的峰值吸附量为375 mg/g。吸附数据符合Langmuir等温线模型,符合拟二级动力学模型,支持单层化学吸附为主要吸附机理。经过五个循环的吸附和解吸,PAO@ZIF-8表现出显著的可重复使用性和稳定性。XPS和DFT计算表明PAO@ZIF-8优越的铀吸附性能源于ZIF-8的偕胺肟基氮氧原子与咪唑氮原子之间的协同吸附。此外,PAO@ZIF-8具有出色的抗生物污垢性能,对大肠杆菌、金黄色葡萄球菌和溶藻弧菌的抑菌率超过99%。经过56天的循环天然海水现场试验,该材料的吸附量为10.29 mg/g。总之,这些发现表明PAO@ZIF-8提供了一种新型的双功能吸附剂,具有高效的协同吸附和优异的抗生物污染性能,可作为实际应用中的海水提铀解决方案。

The efficient extraction of lithium from salt-lake brine still faces challenges due to the insufficient performance of nanofiltration (NF) membranes. In this study, a nanofiltration membrane was fabricated by first pre-crosslinking polyethyleneimine (PEI) with 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp), followed by interfacial polymerization (IP) with trimesoyl chloride (TMC). The pre-crosslinking step incurred no amine loss. However, the higher molecular weight and increased steric hindrance of the product reduced its subsequent crosslinking with TMC. An optimal balance enables the simultaneous enhancement of both the overall crosslinking density, which is contributed by both pre-crosslinking and TMC crosslinking, and the positive charge density of the membrane. The optimized membrane (Tp 0.12) achieved a pure water permeability of 8.57 L·m−2·h−1·bar−1 and an ideal LiCl/MgCl₂ selectivity of 32.9, representing 179 % and 700 % of the values for the pristine membrane, respectively. Moreover, the optimal membrane remained effective even when the Mg2+/Li+ ratio in the feed was as high as 140 or the total salt concentration reached up to 10,000 ppm. This work provides a simple and efficient new pathway for preparing high-performance selective nanofiltration membranes for lithium extraction.
由于纳滤膜的性能不足,从盐湖卤水中高效提取锂仍然面临着挑战。本研究首先用聚乙烯亚胺(PEI)与1,3,5-三甲酰间苯三酚(Tp)预交联制备纳滤膜,然后用三甲基氯(TMC)进行界面聚合(IP)。预交联步骤不产生胺损失。然而,产物的高分子量和增加的位阻降低了其随后与TMC的交联。一个最佳的平衡可以同时增强总体交联密度(由预交联和TMC交联贡献)和膜的正电荷密度。优化后的膜(Tp 0.12)的纯水渗透率为8.57 L·m−2·h−1·bar−1,LiCl/MgCl 2的理想选择性为32.9,分别为原始膜的179%和700%。当饲料中Mg2+/Li+比高达140或总盐浓度高达10,000 ppm时,最佳膜仍然有效。本研究为制备高性能锂提取纳滤膜提供了一条简单、高效的新途径。
