[0002] The household reverse osmosis (RO) water purifier with large flux has a "first cup of water" problem, that is, after a long standby or shutdown, the desalination rate of a certain volume of water discharged after starting is low.

[0074] The present application provides a test method for testing the salt permeability of a RO membrane.
[0075] The K value is calculated according to the formula,
[0076] The salt permeability coefficient K of the RO membrane is measured after the test, and the salt permeability of the RO membrane can be evaluated.
[0077] The specific test concept and principle of the present application are as follows:
[0078] (1) Salt permeation amount formula:
[0079] The concentration difference between the concentrated water side and the pure water side of the RO membrane is the main driving force for the salt ions to permeate through the membrane;
[0080] The larger the area of the RO membrane, the greater the probability of salt ions contacting or colliding with the membrane, and the more salt ions permeate through the membrane;
[0081] The thicker the RO membrane, the more difficult it is for ions to permeate through the membrane, and the fewer ions can permeate through the membrane;
[0082] The longer the permeation time, the more salt ions permeate through the membrane.
[0083] Therefore, the amount of salt ions permeating through the membrane is directly proportional to the concentration difference between the two sides of the membrane, the effective area of the membrane, and the permeation time, and inversely proportional to the thickness of the membrane. Thus, the salt permeation formula is:
[0084] Q = ΔC x T x S / b x K (2-1);
[0085] wherein:
[0086] Q is the amount of salt ion permeation; ΔC is the concentration difference between the two sides of the membrane at the initial stage of salt permeation; T is the permeation time; S is the effective area of the membrane; b is the membrane thickness; and K is the permeation coefficient.
[0087] According to the formula described in (2-1), ΔC can be obtained by measuring the TDS values of the water on both sides of the membrane with a TDS meter and calculating the difference; T can be obtained by measuring with a stopwatch, timer, alarm clock, etc.; S (effective area of the membrane) is a constant value in this test method; b (membrane thickness) can be measured with a micrometer.
[0088] (2) Osmotic pressure offset:
[0089] In the actual testing process, the concentration difference across the membrane leads to an osmotic pressure difference (when the volumes of concentrated water and pure water are equal). This osmotic pressure difference causes pure water to permeate through the membrane, offsetting the osmotic pressure caused by the concentration difference. This results in a concentration on the pure water side, with a reduced volume, leading to an increase in the TDS value. Therefore, to accurately test the salt permeability of the membrane, it is necessary to eliminate the phenomenon of pure water concentration caused by osmotic pressure. Therefore, the testing method of this application first adds equal volumes of concentrated water and pure water to the cavities on both sides of the membrane, allowing the pure water to permeate through the membrane under osmotic pressure, creating a height difference between the two cavities. Then, the liquid levels in both cavities are recorded. After recording the liquid levels, the water in both cavities is drained, and concentrated water and pure water are added back to the recorded liquid levels. At this point, the effect of osmotic pressure can be ignored, and the system only experiences salt permeation through the membrane.
[0090] Therefore, the salt permeation rate can be calculated using the following formula:
[0091] Q(ΔM)=C t V t -C0V P (2-2)
[0092] In the formula:
[0093] Q represents salt ion permeation; C t V represents the TDS value on the pure water side at the end of salt permeation. t C0 is the volume of the pure water side at the end of salt permeation; C0 is the TDS value of the pure water side at the beginning of salt permeation; V0 is the volume of the pure water side at the beginning of salt permeation.
[0094] After completing the above osmotic pressure offsetting operation, the volume change on the pure water side is negligible, and formula (2-2) can be simplified to:
[0095] Q = (C t -C0)×V P (2-3)
[0096] Combining (2-1) and (2-3), we obtain the formula:
[0097] The salt permeability coefficient of a specific membrane can then be calculated.
[0098] Based on the above test concept and principles, the following refers to... Figures 1 to 3 The test methods described in some embodiments of this application are described in detail.
[0099] First, the testing apparatus used in the testing method of this application includes (such as...) Figure 1 As shown):
[0100] 1011 Reverse osmosis membrane, 102 Pure water tank, 103 Concentrate tank, 104 Pure water float, 105 Float tank, 106 Pure water flow meter, 107 Concentrate flow meter, 108 Concentrate supply tank, 109 Pure water supply tank, 110 Concentrate supply pump, 111 Concentrate drain pump, 112 Concentrate tank TDS meter, 113 Control chip, 114 Display screen, 115 Pure water tank TDS meter, 116 Pure water drain pump, 117 Pure water supply pump, 118 Concentrate float, 201 Pure water sealing ring, 202 Pure water sealing groove, 203 Sealing clamp, 204 Concentrate sealing ring.
[0101] The concentrate tank 103 and the pure water tank 102 are connected by a reverse osmosis membrane 1011. As an example, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the concentrate tank 103 is provided with a concentrate opening, the pure water tank 102 is provided with a pure water opening, and a concentrate sealing groove is provided around the concentrate opening (concentrate sealing groove). Figure 2 (Not shown), a pure water sealing groove 202 is provided around the pure water opening, a pure water sealing ring 201 fills the pure water sealing groove 202, and a concentrated water sealing ring 204 fills the concentrated water sealing groove; a sealing clamp 203 clamps the outer walls of the concentrated water sealing groove and the pure water sealing groove 202 so that the concentrated water sealing ring 204 and the pure water sealing ring 201 clamp the reverse osmosis membrane 1011.
[0102] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the concentrate supply tank 108 is connected to the concentrate tank 103 via the concentrate supply pump 110, and the pure water supply tank 109 is connected to the pure water tank 102 via the pure water supply pump 117.
[0103] The pure water flow meter 106 is installed between the pure water supply pump 117 and the pure water tank 102, and the concentrate flow meter 107 is installed between the concentrate supply pump 110 and the concentrate tank 103.
[0104] Both the pure water tank 102 and the concentrated water tank 103 are equipped with vertical strip float channels 105. The concentrated water float 118 is located on the concentrated water surface of the strip float channel 105 in the concentrated water tank 103, and the pure water float 104 is located on the pure water surface of the strip float channel 105 in the pure water tank 102.
[0105] The pure water discharge pump 116 is connected to the pure water tank 102, and the concentrated water discharge pump 111 is connected to the concentrated water tank 103.
[0106] The concentrated water tank TDS meter 112 is arranged in the concentrated water tank 103, and the pure water tank TDS meter 115 is arranged in the pure water tank 102.
[0107] The test method based on the test device includes (as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 ):
[0108] S1, the reverse osmosis membrane 1011 is installed in the reverse osmosis membrane installation part 101 (the reverse osmosis membrane installation part 101 includes a sealing clamp 203).
[0109] S2, prepare concentrated water and pure water of a certain concentration in advance, and inject the prepared concentrated water and pure water into the concentrated water supply tank 108 and the pure water supply tank 109 respectively;
[0110] S3, the display transmits the water permeation time T' value, the pure water volume V2 value and the concentrated water volume V1 value, and starts the system.
[0111] S4, the control chip 113 controls the concentrated water supply pump 110 and the pure water supply pump 117 to start according to the input instruction, and injects the same volume V1 and V2 of concentrated water and pure water into the concentrated water tank 103 and the pure water tank 102 respectively.
[0112] At this time, when the concentrated water supply tank 108 injects concentrated water into the concentrated water tank 103, the concentrated water flow meter 107 records the flow Q1 by controlling the opening and closing of the concentrated water supply pump to control the volume of concentrated water injected into the concentrated water tank, and when the pure water supply tank 109 injects pure water into the pure water tank 102, the pure water flow meter 106 records the flow Q2 by controlling the opening and closing of the pure water supply pump to control the volume of pure water injected into the pure water tank (wherein Q1=V1, Q2=V2).
[0113] S5, after the water injection is completed, the water is still permeated for T' time (i.e. after the volume of the pure water tank 102 is concentrated), the control chip 113 records the liquid level L W of the concentrated water floating ball 118, and calculates the volume V W of the concentrated water according to the liquid level L W of the concentrated water floating ball and the cross-sectional area Sw of the concentrated water tank; the control chip 113 records the liquid level L P of the pure water floating ball 104, and calculates the volume V P of the pure water according to the liquid level L P of the pure water floating ball and the cross-sectional area S P of the pure water tank.
[0114] S6, the control chip 113 controls the start of the concentrate drain pump 111 and the pure water drain pump 116 to drain the concentrate and pure water from the concentrate tank 103 and the pure water tank 102.
[0115] S7, concentrate and pure water are injected into concentrate tank 103 and pure water tank 102 respectively again: control chip 113 controls the start of concentrate supply pump 110 and pure water supply pump 117, injecting concentrate and pure water into concentrate tank 103 and pure water tank 102 respectively, so that concentrate float 118 and pure water float 104 are respectively at liquid level L. W and L P At this time, based on the concentrated water float level L... W With the cross-sectional area S of the concentrate tank W Calculate the volume of concentrated water V W According to the pure water float level L P With the cross-sectional area S of the pure water tank P Calculate the volume V of pure water P .
[0116] S8. After water injection is completed, the control chip 113 controls the TDS meter 112 of the concentrate tank and the TDS meter 115 of the pure water tank to detect the initial TDS values C1 and C0 of the concentrate and pure water respectively, calculate C1-C0 to obtain ΔC, store the data and output it to the display screen 114.
[0117] S9, static salt permeation.
[0118] S10, after a settling salt permeation time T, the control chip 113 controls the TDS meter 115 of the pure water tank to detect the TDS value C of the pure water in the pure water tank 102. t .
[0119] The value of K is then calculated using the formula:
[0120] S11, the control chip 113 starts the concentrate drain pump 111 and the pure water drain pump 116 to drain the water from the concentrate tank 103 and the pure water tank 102 respectively, and the display screen 114 displays the test data and the words "Test completed".
[0121] Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that, in order to make the testing method more accurate, step S5 can also be based on the liquid level L. P and L W Calculate the volume ratio R of pure water to concentrated water;
[0122] but, Furthermore,
[0123] Specifically, the control system records the concentrated water float level L. W And based on the concentrated water float level L W The volume of concentrate V is calculated from the cross-sectional area Sw of the concentrate tank.W ; control system records pure water floating ball liquid level L P , and according to pure water floating ball liquid level L P and pure water tank cross-sectional area S P to calculate pure water volume V P ; then,
[0124]
[0125] Because, in the later standing salt permeation, due to the volume difference between the concentrated water tank and the pure water tank, the volume difference makes the salt permeation relatively fast, so the volume ratio is adjusted to balance the test method.
[0126] In addition, it is worth mentioning that in step S10, after standing salt permeation T time, the volume of pure water in pure water tank 102 will change slightly. Therefore, in order to test the accuracy, after standing salt permeation T time, control chip 113 can also record the liquid level L t of pure water in pure water tank 102, and according to the liquid level L t of pure water, calculate the pure water volume V t .
[0127] Therefore, the second aspect of the present application provides a separate test method (except in step S10, the pure water volume V t needs to be calculated, and the rest of the steps are the same as the test method of the first aspect). The test method of the second aspect of the present application calculates the K value according to the formula:
[0128] After further considering the R parameter, then
[0129] In summary, the present application cuts different RO membranes to a specific size, prepares concentrated water and pure water according to relevant requirements, and inputs a specific test time after adding concentrated water and pure water into the water tank, starts the system, and waits for the test to be completed. The salt permeation coefficient of the membrane can be measured, so that the salt permeation performance of the membrane can be evaluated.
