Description
A positively charged polyamide composite nanofiltration (NF) hollow fiber membrane for lithium and magnesium separation was fabricated by the interfacial polymerization of 1,4-Bis(3-aminopropyl)piperazine (DAPP) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) on the polyacrylonitrile (PAN) ultrafiltration hollow fiber membrane. The chemical structure, morphology and surface charge of the composite membrane were characterized by using ATR-FTIR, XPS, SEM, AFM and zeta potential analyzer. The performance of the composite membrane was tested with various salts in aqueous solution (2000ppm) at the operating pressure of 0.3MPa. The results showed that the membrane performance was related to the changes of the monomer content in the aqueous phase rather than that in the organic phase. Furthermore, the salt rejection order of the membrane was MgCl2>MgSO4>NaCl≥LiCl. The difference between the rejections of MgCl2 and LiCl reached to 47.5%. The zeta potential measurements indicated that the surface of the resultant membrane was positively charged at pH values below 9.5. Moreover, the mass ratio of Mg2+/Li+ decreased from initial 20:1 in the feed of 2.0 g/L MgCl2 and LiCl mixture to 7.7:1 in the permeate after the filtration by the composite membrane. © 2015 Published by Elsevier B.V.
