Abstract
Organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) technology is advantageous for separating mixtures of organic solutions owing to its low energy consumption and environmental friendliness. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are good candidates for enhancing the efficiency of solvent transport and ensuring precise molecular sieving of OSN membranes. In this study, p-phenylenediamine (Pa) and 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene (Tp) are used to construct, in situ, a TpPa COF skin layer via interfacial polymerization (IP) on a polyimide substrate surface. After subsequent crosslinking and activation steps, a kind of TpPa/polyimide (PI) OSN membrane is obtained. Under optimized fabrications, this OSN membrane exhibits an ethanol permeance of 58.0 LMH/MPa, a fast green FCF (FGF) rejection of 96.2%, as well as a pure n-hexane permeance of 102.0 LMH/MPa. Furthermore, the TpPa/PI OSN membrane exhibits good solvent resistance, which makes it suitable for the separation, purification, and concentration of organic solvents.
