Diffusion dialysis (DD) process utilizing anion exchange membranes (AEMs) is an environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient technology. From acidic wastewater, DD is needed for acid recovery. This research reports the development of a series of dense tropinium-functionalized AEMs via solution casting method. Fourier Infrared transform (FTIR) spectroscopy verified the successful preparation of AEMs. The developed AEMs exhibited a dense morphology, featuring 0.98-2.42 mmol/g of ion exchange capacity (IEC), 30-81% of water uptake (W) and 7-32% of linear swelling ratio (LSR). They displayed exceptional mechanical, thermal and chemical stability and were employed for acid waste treatment from HCl/FeCl mixtures via DD process. AEMs possessed 20 to 59 (10 m/h) and 166 to 362 of acid diffusion dialysis coefficient (U) and separation factor (S) respectively at 25 °C. Compared to DF-120 commercial membrane (U = 0.004 m/h, S = 24.3), their DD efficiency was improved under identical experimental conditions.
扩散渗析(DD)工艺利用阴离子交换膜(AEM)是一种环保且节能的技术。从酸性废水中,DD 需要用于酸回收。本研究通过溶液浇铸法开发了一系列致密的托品功能化 AEM。傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)光谱验证了 AEM 的成功制备。所开发的 AEM 具有致密的形态,其离子交换容量(IEC)为 0.98-2.42mmol/g,吸水率(W)为 30-81%,线膨胀率(LSR)为 7-32%。它们表现出优异的机械、热和化学稳定性,并用于通过 DD 工艺处理 HCl/FeCl 混合物的酸性废水。在 25°C 时,AEM 的酸扩散透析系数(U)和分离因子(S)分别为 20 至 59(10m/h)和 166 至 362。与 DF-120 商业膜(U=0.004m/h,S=24.3)相比,在相同的实验条件下,它们的 DD 效率得到了提高。
