Abstract：

A positively charged nanofiltration membrane was used to study the removal performance of low-concentration ammonia nitrogen (NH4+) in municipal water. The effects of co-existing anions Cl- and SO42- as well as co-existing cations Mg2+ and Na+ on performance of NH4+ separation by positively charged nanofiltration membrane were investigated from the perspective of ionic microscopic physicochemical parameters. The results showed that Cl- could preferentially permeated the positively charged nanofiltration membrane than SO42- , mainly due to the huge difference between the microscopic physicochemical parameters of Cl- and SO42-, and then NH4+ with lower charge, smaller hydration radius, smaller average ion potential and larger diffusion coefficient on the water inlet side of the membrane could preferentially permeate the membrane than Mg2+ in order to keep the water outlet side of the membrane electrically neutral. If there was no Na+ on the water inlet side of the membrane, the rejection rate of NH4+ would be negative. Conversely, since the microscopic parameters of NH4+ and Na+ were similar, both could permeate the membrane, leading to the failure of NH4+ preferential permeation. The multi-stage cycling experiments under different systems proved that it was difficult to achieve complete separation of NH4+ from Mg2+ and Na+ using positively charged nanofiltration membrane for MgCl2+NH4Cl system and Na2SO4+(NH4)2SO4 system.
