Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of inorganic material manufacturing technology, specifically to an anti-fouling ceramic membrane, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Membrane filtration technology, as the "third-generation water purification process," is one of the most promising technologies of this century. The performance of membrane materials is a crucial factor affecting the efficiency of membrane processes. Traditional membrane materials are mostly hydrophobic organic polymers, making them highly susceptible to fouling by microorganisms, biomolecules, and oil, leading to a rapid decline in their separation efficiency and permeability. In practical use, traditional organic membrane materials often experience chemical degradation, aging, and swelling due to frequent cleaning, significantly reducing their lifespan and severely hindering the further promotion of membrane technology. Therefore, developing membrane materials with good chemical stability, strong mechanical properties, long service life, and anti-fouling properties is a key research direction for promoting the development of membrane filtration technology.

[0003] In recent years, the application of inorganic ceramic membranes in wastewater treatment has received increasing attention. Compared with organic membranes, ceramic membranes have advantages such as simple operation and maintenance, stronger corrosion resistance, longer service life, wider applicability, and better effluent quality. However, high-performance ceramic membrane materials are currently expensive and still suffer from significant membrane fouling, making them unsuitable for large-scale municipal water treatment, especially in the field of domestic wastewater treatment.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a ceramic membrane that can be applied to large-scale municipal water treatment. Summary of the Invention

[0072] Example 3

[0073] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1, but differs from Embodiment 1 in that the proportions of the components in the antifouling ceramic membrane are different. Specifically:

[0074] An anti-fouling ceramic membrane is composed of the following components in parts by weight:

[0075] 100 parts white corundum powder, 3 parts lepidolite powder, 10 parts kaolin powder, 10 parts cellulose powder, 10 parts starch, 3 parts potassium feldspar powder, 2 parts zirconium dioxide powder, 2 parts titanium dioxide powder, 10 parts vegetable oil, 2 parts machine oil, and 35 parts water.

[0076] Comparative Example 1:

[0077] The preparation of conventional alumina ceramic films includes the following steps:

[0078] (1) Mixing of powders: Take alumina powder, kaolin powder, cellulose powder, carbon powder, machine oil, water and other raw materials, and put them into DX-500B high-speed mixer in a ratio of 100:10:10:8:10:25. Stir for 60 minutes until a wet embryo in the shape of lumps is formed.

[0079] (2) Aging of wet embryos: The above embryos were placed in a constant temperature and humidity environment for 124 hours for aging, with the temperature controlled at 25℃ and the humidity controlled at 80%;

[0080] (3) Refining of wet blanks: The blanks that have completed step (2) are put into a vacuum pug mill for refining, with an extrusion pressure of 15 MPa and a system vacuum of -0.095 MPa;

[0081] (4) Extrusion molding of wet preform: The wet preform completed in step (3) is put into the extrusion device and formed into a hollow flat plate (600mm×150mm×4mm) through the mold. The corresponding extrusion speed is about 1m / s adjustable and the extrusion pressure is 20 MPa.

[0082] (5) First drying: The flat blank obtained in step (4) is placed in a ventilated place at room temperature and dried for 96 h to obtain a dry blank;

[0083] (6) High-temperature calcination: The dry blank obtained in step (5) is placed in a kiln for calcination. The sintering temperature is 30~1500℃, the heating rate is 3℃ / min, the calcination time is 4 days, and the alumina support is obtained after cooling.

[0084] (7) Grinding slurry preparation: First, add 600 g of deionized water, then add 1 g of ceramic dispersant 9300 and stir continuously with a stirrer (300 r / min). Then, slowly add 200 g of potassium feldspar and 1500 g of kaolin while stirring. Finally, add 50 g of calcined talc and stir continuously for 120 min. Add 1 g of defoamer P653 and seal the prepared grinding slurry for storage.

[0085] (8) First, add 100 g of deionized water, then add 20 g of the grinding slurry prepared in step (7) and stir evenly. Next, add 100 g of alumina powder during the stirring process, then add 0.5 g of sodium bicarbonate and 0.5 g of sodium silicate to maintain the pH value of the slurry. Continue stirring and ball milling for 48 h. 30 min before the end of ball milling, add 0.2 g of defoamer P653 and seal the prepared grinding slurry for storage.

[0086] (9) Pour the dip coating slurry prepared in step (8) into a beaker, and vertically immerse the support prepared in step (6) into the slurry at a speed of 50 mm / s.

[0089] Comparative Example 2:

[0090] This comparative example is based on Example 2, but differs from Example 2 in that the antifouling ceramic membrane does not contain lepidolite powder and potassium feldspar powder. Specifically:

[0091] An anti-fouling ceramic membrane is composed of the following components in parts by weight:

[0092] 100 parts white corundum powder, 7 parts kaolin powder, 7 parts cellulose powder, 8 parts starch, 1.5 parts zirconium dioxide powder, 1.5 parts titanium dioxide powder, 8 parts vegetable oil, 1.3 parts machine oil, and 30 parts water.

[0093] Comparative Example 3:

[0094] This comparative example is based on Example 2, but differs from Example 2 in that the antifouling ceramic membrane does not contain zirconium dioxide powder and titanium dioxide powder. Specifically:

[0095] An anti-fouling ceramic membrane is composed of the following components in parts by weight:

[0096] 100 parts white corundum powder, 2 parts lepidolite powder, 7 parts kaolin powder, 7 parts cellulose powder, 8 parts starch, 2 parts potassium feldspar powder, 8 parts vegetable oil, 1.3 parts machine oil, and 30 parts water.

[0097] The antifouling ceramic membranes prepared in Examples 1-3, Comparative Examples 2 and 3, and the alumina ceramic membrane prepared in Comparative Example 1 were subjected to pure water flux test, antifouling performance test, and flexural mechanical strength test.

[0098] The experimental procedure for the pure water flux test is as follows:

[0099] First, immerse all ceramic membrane components in deionized water and clean them for 5 minutes under the action of 20 kHz ultrasound to remove all loose impurities on the surface of the ceramic membrane during the preparation process. Before operation, immerse them for 30 minutes to reduce air bubbles between the pores of the ceramic membrane and maintain stable flux. Then filter with deionized water. After the effluent stabilizes, start measuring the pure water flux according to formula (1).

[0100] (1)

[0101] J is the pure water flux of the ceramic membrane ( V represents the outflow rate (L); A represents the effective membrane surface area (m²). 2 ); t is the filtration time (h); P is the transmembrane pressure (bar).

[0102] The experimental procedure for the anti-pollution performance test is as follows:

[0103] Experimental setup such as Figure 2 As shown, reactor 2 has a 9 L square water tank. Feed water is continuously supplied to reactor 2 via a high-level water tank 1, and the feed water level is maintained constant by a float valve 3. To avoid the influence of activated sludge variability on membrane fouling, two membrane modules 4 with the same effective area are vertically immersed in the same MBR reactor, using two independent peristaltic pumps 6 operating in parallel. The pressure difference generated by the peristaltic pumps 6 causes the mixed liquor to pass through membrane modules 4 to produce effluent, which is then directly extracted from membrane modules 4. A vacuum pressure gauge 5 is installed between membrane modules 4 and peristaltic pumps 6 to monitor transmembrane pressure (TMP).

[0104] During operation, membrane module 4 is hydraulically backwashed once every one or two days to remove reversible fouling. When hydraulic backwashing is insufficient to effectively clean and restore the flux of membrane module 4, chemical cleaning is performed by soaking in sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) to remove the irreversible fouling accumulated on the membrane.

[0105] The experimental procedure for the flexural mechanical strength test is as follows:

[0106] (1) Experimental methods

[0107] According to ASTM C674-88 "Standard Test Method for Bending Properties", the flexural strength of ceramic membranes was tested using the three-point bending method. The test was conducted on a C674-88 electronic universal testing machine. The specific test method is as follows: A ceramic membrane with a length of 130 mm was placed on the lower cylindrical support (D=10 mm) with a spacing of 100 mm. The pressure cylinder (D=10 mm) above the universal testing machine was lowered at a constant speed, and a load was applied at a speed of 5 mm / min until the sample was broken. The maximum load value F (N) during the pressure process was read, and the flexural strength was calculated using formula (2). The average value of the three test results was taken as the flexural strength of the ceramic membrane.

[0108] (2)

[0109] In the formula, σ is the flexural strength (MPa); F is the fracture load (N); L is the span of the lower cylindrical support (mm); b is the width of the fracture surface (mm); and h is the thickness of the fracture surface (mm).

[0110] The experimental results of Examples 1-3, Comparative Example 2, and Comparative Example 3 are shown in Table 1:

[0111] Table 1

[0112]

[0113] The data in Table 1 shows that:

[0114] The antifouling ceramic membrane prepared according to the formulation described in Example 2 has the best effect.

[0115] The performance of the antifouling ceramic membrane prepared in Example 2 and the alumina ceramic membrane prepared in Comparative Example 1 were compared and analyzed.

[0116] The pure water flux of the antifouling ceramic membrane prepared in Example 2 and the alumina ceramic membrane prepared in Comparative Example 1 are compared. Figure 1 As shown:

[0117] The antifouling ceramic membrane prepared in Example 2 has a pure water flux of 5214. The alumina ceramic film prepared in Comparative Example 1 only had a density of 1348. This indicates that the antifouling ceramic membrane prepared in Example 2 of the present invention has a higher pure water flux.

[0118] The antifouling test results of the antifouling ceramic membrane prepared in Example 2 and the alumina ceramic membrane prepared in Comparative Example 1 are compared. Figure 3 As shown in (a):

[0119] Initially (days 1-4), the TMP rise rate of the alumina ceramic membrane was similar to that of the antifouling ceramic membrane, with maximum TMPs reaching 25.4 kPa and 20.0 kPa, respectively. After the initial fouling stage, the TMP of the alumina ceramic membrane increased significantly, reaching 70.2 kPa on day 8, with an increase rate of 11.2 kPa / d. After hydraulic backwashing, the TMP recovered to 25.2 kPa. Subsequently, the TMP increase rate of the alumina ceramic membrane in the MBR (29.8 kPa / d) was also relatively high. Chemical cleaning can eliminate irreversible fouling and further reduce TMP after hydraulic backwashing, but this cannot slow down the TMP development rate of the alumina ceramic membrane. In contrast, the absolute value of the TMP and its growth rate of the antifouling ceramic membrane were significantly lower than those of the alumina ceramic membrane. On day 8, the TMP only increased to 34.2 kPa, with an increase rate of 3.5 kPa / d. The maximum total molecular weight (TMP) of the antifouling ceramic membrane remained consistently around 40 kPa, with an average TMP growth rate of 18.7 kPa / d. Hydraulic backwashing effectively restored the TMP, while chemical cleaning could further reduce it to even lower levels.

[0120] Therefore, the anti-fouling ceramic membrane prepared in Example 2 of the present invention has stronger anti-fouling properties.

[0121] The flexural strength of the antifouling ceramic membrane prepared in Example 2 and the alumina ceramic membrane prepared in Comparative Example 1 are compared. Figure 4 As shown:

[0122] Compared to the alumina ceramic membrane prepared in Comparative Example 1, the antifouling ceramic membrane prepared in Example 2 exhibits significantly higher flexural strength, reaching a maximum of 47.00 MPa, while the alumina ceramic membrane with a similar pore size only reaches 25.67 MPa.
