Abstract

The present specification relates to a method for manufacturing a water-treatment membrane, a water-treatment membrane manufactured using the same, and a water-treatment module including the water-treatment membrane.

Claims (28)

1. A method for manufacturing a water-treatment membrane comprising:

preparing a porous support; and

forming a polyamide active layer on the porous support using interfacial polymerization of an aqueous solution including an amine compound and an organic solution including an acyl halide compound,

wherein:

the organic solution further includes a compound of Chemical Formula 1:

wherein:

R is hydrogen, deuterium, a nitrile group, a halogen group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group;

X and Y are the same as or different from each other, and each independently is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group; and

n is an integer of 1 to 10, and when n is 2 or greater, structures in the parentheses are the same as or different from each other; and

an amount of Chemical Formula 1 present in the organic solution is greater than or equal to 0.0001 parts by weight and less than or equal to 10 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the organic solution.

2. The method for manufacturing a water-treatment membrane of claim 1 , wherein X and Y are the same as or different from each other, and each independently is an alkyl group unsubstituted or substituted with a halogen group, a cycloalkyl group unsubstituted or substituted with a halogen group, an alkenyl group unsubstituted or substituted with a halogen group, an aryl group unsubstituted or substituted with a halogen group, or a heterocyclic group unsubstituted or substituted with a halogen group.

3. The method for manufacturing a water-treatment membrane of claim 1 , wherein X and Y are the same as or different from each other, and each independently an alkyl group unsubstituted or substituted with a fluoro group, a cycloalkyl group unsubstituted or substituted with a fluoro group, an alkenyl group unsubstituted or substituted with a fluoro group, an aryl group unsubstituted or substituted with a fluoro group, or a heterocyclic group unsubstituted or substituted with a fluoro group.

4. The method for manufacturing a water-treatment membrane of claim 1 , wherein X and Y are an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms unsubstituted or substituted with a halogen group.

5. The method for manufacturing a water-treatment membrane of claim 1 , wherein R is hydrogen.

6. The method for manufacturing a water-treatment membrane of claim 1 , wherein n is an integer of 1 to 3.

7. The method for manufacturing a water-treatment membrane of claim 1 , wherein Chemical Formula 1 is any one of the following Compounds 1-1 to 1-7:

8. The method for manufacturing a water-treatment membrane of claim 1 , wherein the aqueous solution including an amine compound further includes the compound of Chemical Formula 1.

9. The method for manufacturing a water-treatment membrane of claim 8 , wherein an amount of the compound of Chemical Formula 1 is greater than or equal to 0.0001 parts by weight and less than or equal to 10 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the aqueous solution containing an amine compound.

10. A water-treatment membrane manufactured using the method of claim 1 , the water-treatment membrane comprising:

a porous support; and

a polyamide active layer provided on the porous support,

wherein the polyamide active layer includes a compound of Chemical Formula 1:

wherein:

R is hydrogen, deuterium, a nitrile group, a halogen group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group;

X and Y are the same as or different from each other, and each independently a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group; and

n is an integer of 1 to 10, and when n is 2 or greater, structures in the parentheses are the same as or different from each other.

11. The water-treatment membrane of claim 10 , wherein an amount of the compound of Chemical Formula 1 is greater than or equal to 0.00001% by weight and less than or equal to 10% by weight with respect to the polyamide active layer.

12. A water-treatment module comprising the water-treatment membrane of claim 10 .
