合成具有羧酸端基的功能化硅烷,以该硅烷为表面改性剂,对以共沉淀法制备的超顺磁Fe3O4纳米粒子(SPION)进行改性,获得表面为羧酸官能团的SPION纳米粒子。以扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、红外光谱(FT-IR)、振动样品磁强计(VSM)等手段对改性SPION进行表征。结果表明:改性的纳米粒子的比饱和磁化强度为44.4emu/g,在外加磁场作用下易与水分离。将羧酸改性SPION中和为钠盐后,研究了其作为正渗透驱动液的驱动效果。以商业反渗透膜为评价介质,当其质量分数为8.1%时,通量为2.0 L/(m2.h)。
Silane coupling agent with a carboxylic acid end functional group was prepared by amidation of maleic anhydride with aminopropyltriethoxysilane. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were prepared by chemical co-precipitation method and coated with carboxylic acid on the nanoparticle surface. The modified SPIONs were analyzed by the scanning electron microscope (SEM) , Fourier trans- form infrared spectroscope (FF-IR), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and thermo gravimetric ana- lyzer (TGA). The SPIONs showed the saturation magnetization was 44.4 emu/g and it was easily recov- ered by the application of an external magnetic field. The nanoparticles were used as draw agent in a for- ward osmosis process after turning into the sodium form with a water flux of 2.0 L/( m2 h) at the draw solution concentration of 8.1% using a commercial RO membrane.
