Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water treatment, and specifically relates to a method for treating ultrafiltration membrane fouling, a fouling treatment agent and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Ultrafiltration membrane technology is a separation technology based on the principle of physical sieving. It intercepts macromolecular substances (such as proteins, colloids, bacteria) and suspended particles in water through micropores (pore size 1-100 nanometers) on the membrane surface, and allows water and small molecular substances (such as salt ions) to pass through. It has been widely used in industrial and civil water treatment. However, due to various pollutants present in water, such as organic matter, microorganisms, metal ions, colloids, etc., it is easy to cause concentration polarization of the ultrafiltration membrane during water production, resulting in fouling on the membrane surface, affecting the membrane flux and the stability of the system operation. Among them, the most common ones are PAC and polyacrylamide. Higher residues of PAC or polyacrylamide in the influent will seriously foul the ultrafiltration membrane.
[0003] Traditional treatment methods often require frequent chemical cleaning to restore the membrane flux, which increases the operating cost while reducing the service life of the membrane. Therefore, developing a new type of pre-treatment water treatment agent before the membrane to improve the anti-fouling performance of the ultrafiltration membrane has become a research hotspot. At present, poly(dimethyldiallylammonium chloride) has been reported as an efficient flocculant for sewage treatment, and its excellent flocculation effect has attracted the attention of researchers at home and abroad. However, its preparation process has high requirements for the purity of raw material monomers, and defects such as low yield lead to high prices. Later, Tajima, Teffrey, Welcher and others studied the preparation process and the types of initiators (using azo or organic peroxides), and prepared copolymers with relatively high viscosity and high molecular weight. However, due to reasons such as the storage stability of the initiator and the limited industrial conditions of the preparation process, it has not been industrially produced; Zhang Yuejun et al. from Nanjing University of Science and Technology used sodium persulfate as an initiator and introduced EDTA4Na during the reaction process to prepare a copolymer with a high molecular weight. However, poly(dimethyldiallylammonium chloride) needs to be mixed with PAC for use, and the flocculation effect significantly deteriorates after more than 15 days, and the product shelf life is short.
[0004] Problems existing in current poly(dimethyldiallylammonium chloride) high molecular flocculants are as follows:
[0005] 1. The temperature during the product preparation process is as high as 105-110 °C, and the reaction time is as long as 72 h;
[0006] 2. The flocculation process needs to be used in combination with PAC to show the flocculation effect.
[0007] 3. The product shelf life is short. Microorganisms grow in water after more than 15 days, and the flocculation effect deteriorates.
[0008] 4. It is expensive and limited in market application. Summary of the Invention
