Diaphragm performance test:
10 membranes of equal size prepared in examples 1-3 and comparative examples 1-3 were placed on a cross-flow membrane detection table, respectively, and the test was run under conditions of an operating pressure of 150 lbf/square inch, a raw water of 1500ppm NaCl aqueous solution, a temperature of 25℃and a pH of 7-8, and the water flux of the reverse osmosis membranes was calculated according to formulas a and b, respectively And desalination rate. The test results are shown in Table 1.

And then the operation pressure is regulated to the normal test pressure for testing, and the average water flux and the average desalination rate of the reverse osmosis membrane after high pressure are respectively calculated according to the formula a and the formula b. The test results are shown in Table 1.
Polyester layer 2 molecular weight cut-off test:

The test adopts 100mg/L of aqueous solutions of PEG-1000, PEG-2000, PEG-4000, PEG-6000, PEG10000 and PEG20000 as test solutions, the TOC values of the original test solution and the filtrate are respectively tested by a total organic carbon analyzer (TOC), the retention rate of the polyester layer 2 is calculated, and a fitted curve is used to obtain the molecular weight when the retention rate is 90 percent as the retention molecular weight of the polyester layer 2. The test results are shown in Table 1.
Table 1 test results
As can be seen from Table 1, the average water flux of examples 1-3 is significantly higher than that of comparative example 3, on the one hand, the porous three-dimensional nanofiber network skeleton structure formed by crosslinking bacterial cellulose and a crosslinking agent is favorable for water molecule transmission in step S1, on the other hand, the polyester layer prepared in step S2 is relatively thinner, has smaller water mass transfer resistance and is favorable for flux improvement compared with the polysulfone layer formed by conventional phase inversion, and simultaneously, carboxyl and hydroxyl formed by hydrolysis treatment of the polyester pre-prepared layer are convenient for hydrophilicity improvement in step S2 by alkali liquor, and the reaction with the second aqueous phase solution in step S3 is more vigorous by hydrogen bond adsorption, so that a large-leaf-shaped polyamide functional layer structure is favorable for formation, the specific surface area is increased, and the water flux of the reverse osmosis composite membrane is improved. Thus, the synergistic effect of steps S1 to S3 is such that the average water flux of examples 1-3 is significantly higher than that of comparative example 3. In addition, in the pressure resistance test, the performances of the examples 1-3 are basically maintained unchanged, and the average water flux of the comparative example 3 is obviously reduced, because the porous three-dimensional nanofiber network skeleton structure formed by crosslinking bacterial cellulose and the crosslinking agent has high mechanical strength, the pressure resistance of the reverse osmosis membrane is improved, and the stability of the high flux performance of the reverse osmosis membrane is ensured.
As is clear from comparative example 1 and comparative example 1, the average water flux of comparative example 1 decreases because the hydrolysis time is short, and the polyester layer 2 formed is relatively denser on the one hand, and the content of hydrophilic groups after hydrolysis is reduced, and the adsorbed metaphenylene diamine is relatively reduced, resulting in a decrease in the specific surface area of the polyamide layer formed, and therefore, the average water flux decreases.
As is clear from comparative examples 1 and 2, comparative example 2 has a relatively low average salt rejection rate, which is due to the long hydrolysis time, the polyester layer 2 is damaged more, and the bacterial cellulose layer 1 may be partially exposed, and the polyamide functional layer 3 formed later is more likely to have defective spots, particularly, is likely to be broken under high pressure, because the bacterial cellulose layer 1 is coarser than the polyester layer 2, and thus the average salt rejection rate is lowered.
From the test of the molecular weight cut-off of the polyester layers 2 prepared in examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 2, it was revealed that the longer the hydrolysis time, the larger the molecular weight cut-off of the polyester layer 2, which indicates that the pore size of the polyester layer 2 can be adjusted to an appropriate size by controlling the appropriate hydrolysis time. Adjusting the pore size of the polyester layer 2 to a proper size is convenient for optimizing the preparation of the subsequent polyamide functional layer 3, and ensures that the reverse osmosis membrane has good desalination rate and water flux.
