[0065] The anti-fouling and anti-clogging saline-alkali water desalination method of Comparative Example 1 includes the following steps: the saline-alkali water to be treated undergoes initial precipitation to remove impurities and large particles; the saline-alkali water after initial precipitation is heated to increase the solubility of cations and anions in the saline-alkali water; and the heated saline-alkali water undergoes micro-nano desalination to obtain fresh water. The heating temperature is 70°C.

[0066] Micro-nano desalination uses a micro-nano desalting column for desalination. The preparation method of the micro-nano desalting column is as follows:

[0067] S1: 100 mg of graphene oxide was dispersed in 220 mL of water and ultrasonically dispersed to obtain dispersion 1;

[0068] S2: Silicon carbide and carbon nanotubes are placed in ethanol and ultrasonically dispersed to obtain dispersion liquid 2, which is then coated on a polyethersulfone membrane and dried to obtain a substrate membrane; the mass fraction of silicon carbide in dispersion liquid 2 is 5 wt%, and the mass fraction of carbon nanotubes is 4 wt%;

[0069] S3: The dispersion in S1 is coated on the base membrane in S2 to obtain a desalting membrane;

[0072] Test Example 1

[0073] The pure water flux of the micro-nano desalination columns of Examples 1 to 3 and the micro-nano desalination column of Comparative Example 1 was tested (test temperature 25° C., test pressure 15 bar), and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0074] Table 1 Pure water flux test results of the micro-nano desalination columns of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1

[0075]

[0076] As can be seen from Table 1, the pure water flux of the micro-nano desalination columns of Examples 1 to 3 is not much different from that of the micro-nano desalination column of Comparative Example 1, indicating that the micro-nano desalination columns coated with polyurethane elastomer in Examples 1 to 3 do not affect the pure water flux.

[0077] After three months of use, the pure water flux of the micro-nano desalination columns of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 was tested (test temperature: 25° C., test pressure: 15 bar), and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0078] Table 2 Pure water flux test results of the micro-nano desalination columns of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1

[0079]

[0080] As can be seen from Table 2, after three months of use, the micro-nano desalination column of Example 1 still has a large pure water flux, while the micro-nano desalination column of Comparative Example 1 has a small pure water flux. This is because Comparative Example 1 uses a conventional micro-nano desalination column, which has weak anti-scaling and anti-fouling capabilities.2+ Mg 2+ Scaling on the micro-nano desalination column affects the pure water flux of the micro-nano desalination column of Comparative Example 1.

[0081] Test Example 2

[0082] The saline-alkali water discharged from a saline-alkali land after the salt washing method is taken. The water quality indicators of the saline-alkali water are shown in Table 3.

[0083] Table 3 Water quality indicators of saline-alkali water (concentration unit: mg / L)

[0084]

[0085] The saline-alkali water was desalinated using the anti-fouling and anti-clogging saline-alkali water desalination method and equipment of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1. The water quality indicators of the treated saline-alkali water are shown in Table 4.

[0086] Table 4. Results of saline-alkali water treatment (concentration unit: mg / L)

[0087]

[0088] As can be seen from Table 4, the saline water treated by the anti-fouling and anti-clogging saline water desalination method and equipment of Example 1 can be directly recycled for domestic use. However, the anti-scaling ability of the micro-nano desalination column of Comparative Example 1 is weak, resulting in Ca 2+ Mg 2+ Scaling on the micro-nano desalination column affects the separation effect of the micro-nano desalination column, which in turn leads to a higher ion content in the treated saline water.
