Water and Salt Diffusion Behavior of Sulfonated Poly (Styrene-Ethylene/Butylene-Styrene)Block Copolymer Membrane with Molecular Dynamic Simulation
To deeply reveal the mass transfer mechanism of water and salt in S-SEBS membrane for pervaporation(PV)desalination
a molecular dynamic simulation is conducted to research the micro-structure of S-SEBS membrane and the diffusion behaviors of water and salt ions in the membrane. The results show that water molecules and salt ions are endowed with specific distribution and different diffusion properties in the membrane
and water molecules aggregate into clusters in the hydrophilic region of the membrane. When the water content gets higher
water molecul
es easily serve as continuous nano-channels in the membrane. Na
+
is close to sulfonic acid groups due to the strong electrostatic attraction while Cl
-
is far away from sulfonic acid groups due to the electrostatic repulsion. The diffusion coefficients of H
2
O
Cl
-
and Na
+
decrease with the increasing salt concentration in an order from large to small in the same system
which is related to the size of water molecule and salt ions
charge effect and the micro-structure of the membrane. The hydration form of ions in the polymer membrane reduces the effective free volume and increases the mass transfer resistance
which enlarges the diffusion selectivity of S-SEBS membrane for water molecules and salt ions and thus contributes to the high salt rejection of the membrane in PV process.
