有机大分子对聚酰胺复合纳滤膜偏硅酸钠污染的影响

选用腐殖酸(HA),海藻酸钠(SA),牛血清蛋白(BSA)和偏硅酸钠分别模拟水体中有机大分子和无机污染物对聚酰胺复合纳滤膜进行了膜污染试验.结合原子力显微镜(AFM)及自制的胶体探针定量测定了不同条件下,膜-偏硅酸钠以及偏硅酸钠-偏硅酸钠之间的作用力.分析了污染膜的表面结构特征及其通量恢复率,系统考察了膜表面吸附不同有机大分子后,对随后硅酸盐污染行为的影响.结果表明:膜表面吸附HA和SA后,膜面负电位增加,与偏硅酸钠之间静电斥力变大,导致其结合能力减弱,减缓了结垢污染.然而,吸附BSA后的膜与无有机条件膜相比,负电位基本一致,故对纳滤膜结垢过程几乎无影响.

Effects of organic macromolecular on sodium metasilicate fouling behavior of polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane

The polyamide composite nanofiltration membrane fouling experiments were carried out by using humic acid (HA), sodium alginate (SA), bovine serum albumin (BSA) as model organic macromoleculars, sodium metasilicate as model inorganic foulant in natural water. The adhesion forces of membrane-sodium metasilicate and sodium metasilicate-sodium metasilicate under different conditions were tested by atomic force microscopy (AFM) in conjunction with self-made colloidal probe. The surface structural characteristics of the fouled membranes and flux recovery rates of the corresponding fouled membranes were analyzed. Besides, the effects of different membrane surface conditions on silicate scaling behavior were investigated. The results showed that the negative potential of the membrane surface increased after adsorption of HA or SA on membrane surface. Hence, the electrostatic repulsion between the membrane and sodium metasilicate increased. Therefore, the binding capacity between fouled membrane and sodium metasilicate was weakened and the scaling behavior was mitigated. However, compared with the membrane without organic conditioning, adsorption of BSA on the membrane surface had little influence on silicate scaling of nanofiltration membrane owing to the similar negative potentials of the two kinds of membranes.
