Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to an electrochemical self-thermal pressurization inorganic membrane high-efficiency cleaning method and belongs to the technical field of sewage treatment and the field of membranes. BACKGROUND

[0002] Compared with organic membranes, inorganic membranes such as ceramic membranes and aluminum oxide filter membranes have more extreme and harsh application environments, such as high-pressure separation and purification of high-concentration complex organic wastewater. Because of the stability of the material, the inorganic membrane can be cleaned with a higher concentration of chemicals to remove the blocked pollutants and bacteria in the pores. However, with the increase of the service life of the inorganic membrane, it is difficult to remove stubborn organic blockage in the deep pore channel by using conventional physical flushing and chemical cleaning, especially macromolecular and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon refractory organic pollutants. One of the main reasons is that the macromolecules and high-valent metal ions (calcium ions, etc.) in water form stable complexes, forming complex blockage pollution, increasing the molecular weight and stabilizing the physical and chemical properties. Secondly, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic macromolecular pollutants have strong oxidation resistance, and the conventional chemical cleaning is difficult to destroy the molecular structure, and the accumulation of days and months forms a large molecular blockage wall in the inorganic membrane pores. In view of the blockage of stubborn organic pollutants in the inorganic membrane pores and the difficulty in cleaning by conventional methods, more effective cleaning technology for organic pollutants in the pores needs to be developed to restore the flux of the inorganic membrane and prolong the service life. SUMMARY

[0058] Example 7

[0059] The inorganic membrane has a pure water flux of 200 L / m 2 / h, and the initial humic acid retention rate is 95%. After running for 3 years, the flux attenuation is 23% of the pure water flux

[0060] After the conventional cleaning according to step one of example 1, the flux is 25% of the pure water flux, indicating that there are a large number of serious pore blockages in the inorganic membrane, and conventional washing cannot restore them.

[0061] The inorganic membrane is treated according to the operation method of example 1, and the second step of electrochemical self-heating pressure washing is performed, and the third step of conventional washing is performed. The membrane flux is restored to 92% of the pure water flux, indicating that a large number of blocked organic matter is removed, and the humic acid retention rate after restoration is 94.2%.

[0062] Comparative example 1 (conventional chemical washing compared with the present application)

[0063] The inorganic membrane has a pure water flux of 200 L / m 2 / h, and the initial humic acid retention rate is 95%. After running for 3 years, the flux attenuation is 23% of the pure water flux

[0064] The inorganic membrane has a pure water flux of 200 L / m 2 / h, flux attenuation is 23.3% of pure water flux. After regular cleaning, 5% (about 50g / L) hypochlorite cleaning, and 6h soaking, the flux is recovered to 68% of pure water flux;

[0065] The inorganic membrane has a pure water flux of 200 L / m 2 / h, flux attenuation is 23% of pure water flux. According to the operation method of example 1, the inorganic membrane is processed, and step two is electrochemical self-heating pressurization cleaning, and the third step is regular cleaning, and the membrane flux is recovered to 92% of pure water flux.

[0066] Comparative example 2 (AC, DC comparison)

[0067] The inorganic membrane has a pure water flux of 200 L / m 2 / h, flux attenuation is 20.4% of pure water flux. According to the parameters of example 1, cleaning is carried out, but the AC step is cancelled, and only the DC step is used. After cleaning, the flux is recovered to 72.3% of pure water flux.

[0068] The inorganic membrane has a pure water flux of 200 L / m 2 / h, flux attenuation is 21.3% of pure water flux. According to the parameters of example 1, cleaning is carried out, including AC and DC steps. After cleaning, the flux is recovered to 91% of pure water flux.

[0069] Comparative example 3 (temperature influence)

[0070] The contaminated inorganic membrane is cleaned according to the parameters of example 1. By adjusting the AC voltage or time, the temperature in the sealed space is controlled, and the reaction temperature is controlled to be 45℃, 50℃, 60℃, 70℃, 80℃, and 90℃, respectively. Under different temperatures, the flux recovery rate of the inorganic membrane is 76%, 79%, 89%, 91%, 94%, and 94% of pure water flux, respectively. It can be seen that the reaction temperature has a great influence on the cleaning effect of the membrane. When the temperature is lower than 60℃, the flux recovery rate of the membrane cleaning is difficult to reach 80%. When the temperature is in the range of 60-80℃, the flux recovery rate is close to or even exceeds 90%. When the temperature exceeds 80℃, the improvement of the flux recovery rate is limited. Generally, the temperature is controlled to be not more than 100℃.

[0071] The present application is not limited to the specific technical solutions described in the above examples. Any technical solution formed by equivalent replacement is within the scope of protection required by the present application.
