Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of oil-water separation materials, and in particular to a mesh membrane with an interception function, a preparation method thereof, and an application and a device and method for treating oily wastewater. Background Art

[0002] Oily wastewater is a large, widespread, and severely harmful wastewater. Oil enters the aquatic environment through various pathways, forming oily wastewater. Oily wastewater originates from a wide range of sources, with industrial production generating a particularly large volume. Oily wastewater in the petrochemical industry includes oilfield water, well flushing water, tank separation water, refinery wastewater, and petrochemical plant wastewater. my country's refining industry alone produces hundreds of millions of tons of oily wastewater annually. This oily wastewater has a complex composition. Besides oil, it also contains impurities such as solid particles, salts, and various organic compounds, and has a high chemical oxygen demand (COD). Discharged directly without treatment can severely pollute the environment. Membrane separation technology has the advantages of low energy consumption, high single-stage separation efficiency, flexible and simple operation process, low environmental pollution, and strong versatility when treating oily wastewater. However, traditional two-dimensional porous polymer separation membranes have a trade-off effect in flux and selectivity when treating oily wastewater, especially for oil-water emulsion separation. It is difficult to achieve both high permeability and high selectivity. In addition, the flux decays rapidly, the separation efficiency is not high, external driving pressure is required, it is easy to cause fouling, the types of oily wastewater that can be treated are limited, and it is impossible to simultaneously separate water-in-oil and oil-in-water emulsions.

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional two-dimensional structural polymer membranes, some studies have used silk screen, organic microfiltration membranes, etc. as substrates, and dip-coated super-hydrophilic materials on them to construct micro-nano structures to form mesh membranes. This can effectively overcome the weaknesses of two-dimensional symmetrical membranes such as poor pressure resistance, rapid flux attenuation, and low separation efficiency. However, the preparation method of this type of mesh membrane is complicated, the service life is short, and the resistance to expansion and chemicals is poor. It cannot adapt to the separation of oil-water mixtures in complex chemical environments, and it is difficult to achieve large-scale industrial applications.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop an oil-water separation material with high separation efficiency, high flux, low energy consumption, and stable combination of modified substances and main materials. The preparation process of this material is simple, and it can ensure safety during use, low energy consumption, low operating cost, no secondary pollution, and long-term operation can also ensure that the water effluent indicators are stable and meet the standards. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art and to provide a mesh with interception function and a preparation method as well as an apparatus and method for applying and treating oily wastewater. The mesh has a three-dimensional porous network structure and has the characteristics of high oil removal rate, high flux and low energy consumption, i.e., two highs and one low. When the mesh is used for oil-water separation, the operation is simple and the effect is stable. Long-term operation can also ensure that the effluent indicators are stable and meet the standards, i.e., it is effective for a long time.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a mesh with a retention function, wherein the mesh is composed of polypropylene combined with inorganic nanoparticles, and the mesh has a three-dimensional porous network structure; wherein the gram weight of the mesh is not less than 100g / m 2 , thickness not less than 20mm.

[0025] The endpoints of the ranges and any values disclosed herein are not limited to the precise ranges or values, and these ranges or values should be understood to include values close to these ranges or values. For numerical ranges, the endpoints of each range, the endpoints of each range and individual point values, and the individual point values can be combined with each other to obtain one or more new numerical ranges, which should be considered to be specifically disclosed herein.

[0026] In the present invention, the "porosity" mentioned refers to the percentage of the volume of pores in the material to the total volume of the material.

[0027] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a mesh membrane with a retention function, wherein the mesh membrane is composed of polypropylene combined with inorganic nanoparticles, and the mesh membrane has a three-dimensional porous network structure;

[0028] The weight of the mesh is not less than 100 g / m 2 , thickness not less than 20mm.

[0029] For example, the weight of the web can be 100-700 g / m 2 (100g / m 2 , 200g / m 2 , 300g / m 2 , 400g / m 2 , 500g / m 2 , 600g / m 2 , 700g / m 2 and a value within the range formed by any two of the above values), the thickness of the omentum can be 20-70 mm (for example, it can be 20 mm, 30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, 70 mm and a value within the range formed by any two of the above values).

[0030] The inorganic nanoparticles can regulate the oil-water wetting balance of the membrane, enhancing the hydrophilicity of the membrane. The membrane has a three-dimensional porous network structure, i.e., a three-dimensional porous network structure that is interconnected. The inventors of the present invention have discovered in their research that when the membrane is used for oil-water separation, after the oily wastewater comes into contact with the membrane, water quickly spreads and adheres to the membrane surface or pores to form a hydration layer. This hydration layer has a great adhesion to the membrane surface, thereby preventing oil droplets from contacting the membrane surface. At the same time, because the density of water is generally greater than that of oil, it is located in the lower layer. Due to the incompatibility and huge surface tension between water and oil, the oil cannot curl into a sphere on the water surface and forms a sheet. As the oil increases, an oil phase is formed, which separates the oil and water. If a small amount of oil droplets penetrate the pores of the surface membrane into the three-dimensional inner structure of the mesh, the coalescence of the polymer fibers that make up the mesh can cause the oil droplets to contact and aggregate, eventually forming oil droplets of sufficient diameter. These droplets, under the buoyancy of the water and the force of the current, fall off and float up to form a continuous oil phase, achieving the purpose of oil removal. Compared with traditional two-dimensional oil-water separation materials, the mesh with a three-dimensional porous network structure provided by the present invention can achieve higher oil-water separation efficiency, that is, higher oil removal rate.

[0031] In addition, the inventors of the present invention also found in their research that compared with conventional separation membranes such as ultrafiltration membranes, the mesh membrane with interception function of the present invention has a fast separation speed and high flux, and can achieve water diversion and oil interception with low energy consumption by relying on the static pressure of the liquid column and other effects.

[0032] According to the present invention, even if the above-mentioned weight and thickness are met, the purpose of the present invention can be achieved. In order to further improve the oil removal rate of the mesh, preferably, the weight of the mesh is not less than 200g / m 2 , thickness is not less than 30mm; more preferably, the gram weight of the omentum is 200-600g / m 2 , thickness is 30-60mm.

[0033] According to the present invention, in order to further improve the oil removal rate of the omentum, preferably, the pore size of the omentum is not less than 5 μm (for example, it can be 5-75 μm), more preferably 10-65 μm, and the porosity is not less than 45% by volume (for example, it can be 45-95% by volume), more preferably 60-90% by volume. It is understood that when the above ranges, especially the pore size and porosity ranges, are met, the critical penetration pressure of the oil can be further increased, further ensuring a higher oil removal rate and flux, and better meeting the scale requirements of industrial applications.

[0034] According to the present invention, to further improve the oil removal rate of the omentum, the polypropylene preferably has a melt index of 100-1200 g / 10 min at a temperature of 230°C and a load of 2.16 kg, as determined by ASTM D1238-13.

The addition of the coupling agent can also make the inorganic nanoparticles more evenly dispersed in the polypropylene, have better compatibility with polypropylene, have a higher filling amount, and can further enhance the hydrophilicity and mechanical properties of the polypropylene separation membrane, further improve the oil removal rate of the omentum, and further ensure the stability of the effect.
