Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water treatment, and more particularly, to a photocatalytic synergistic multi-dimensional electric field composite membrane filtration device. Background Art

[0002] In existing water treatment technologies, although electric field-driven filtration and photocatalytic technologies each play an important role, they both have obvious limitations, which are as follows: The electric field-driven filtration technology mainly uses the action of electric field force on charged particles to remove pollutants. In an electric field, charged pollutant particles will be attracted by the electric field force and move towards the electrode direction, thereby being intercepted or separated. When treating sewage containing charged particles, this technology can effectively remove charged colloids, microorganisms and other pollutants in water. Although electric field filtration can adsorb charged particles through charge action, its removal effect on neutral or macromolecular organic substances is limited, resulting in the difficulty of reaching higher standards for the treated water quality. In addition, traditional electric field filtration devices mostly have a single-layer or double-layer electric field structure, with a single electric field distribution, which easily leads to the accumulation of impurities on the membrane surface and shortens the membrane life.

[0003] The photocatalytic technology is based on the photo-generated electron-hole pairs generated by photocatalysts under light illumination. These electrons and holes have strong oxidation and reduction capabilities and can react with pollutants in water to decompose them into carbon dioxide, water and other harmless small molecule substances. When treating organic pollutants, this technology does not require the addition of a large amount of chemical reagents and can achieve the mineralization and degradation of pollutants. Although the photocatalytic technology can decompose pollutants only relying on light illumination conditions, the reaction efficiency is limited by the light energy utilization rate and the catalyst activity, and it is difficult to ensure continuous and efficient treatment effects. Summary of the Invention

The axial electrode 3 is a hollow carbon fiber tube nested inside the photocatalytic ultrafiltration membrane module 2 and has micropores 3a on its surface; the radial electrode array 4 is composed of a plurality of arc-shaped graphite electrodes surrounding the outer periphery of the conductive filter element module 1, and the spacing between the plurality of arc-shaped graphite electrodes can be adjusted, and the adjustment range is 10 to 20 cm; The intelligent control module 5 is used to measure the real-time water quality and dynamically adjust the electric field intensity, electrode polarity and light parameters according to the real-time water quality; Among them, a water inlet 6 is arranged at the middle position on the side surface of the housing, and a water outlet 7 is arranged at the bottom. There can be multiple water inlets 6, which are evenly arranged on the outer side of the housing. The axis of the photocatalytic ultrafiltration membrane module 2 coincides with the axis of the hollow porous support 1b.

[0022] In this embodiment, significant performance breakthroughs are achieved through the collaborative design of multiple components: the composite conductive filter membrane cooperates with the multi-dimensional electric field electrode system, uses the axial main electric field and the radial dynamic cross electric field, and combines the dielectrophoresis effect to efficiently remove charged and neutral pollutants. At the same time, the TiO2 / rGO composite photocatalytic layer in the photocatalytic ultrafiltration membrane module decomposes macromolecular organic substances; the adjustable characteristic of the radial electrode array avoids local accumulation of pollutants on the membrane surface, and the self-cleaning function of the photocatalytic layer further reduces membrane fouling and extends the service life of the membrane; the intelligent control module monitors the water quality in real time and dynamically adjusts the electric field intensity, electrode polarity and light parameters to ensure that the device can operate efficiently under different water quality and light conditions; in addition, the structural design such as the hollow porous support and the spiral diversion groove optimizes the mass transfer efficiency, and the durable materials ensure long-term stable operation, making it widely applicable to various complex water quality treatment scenarios.

[0023] The device of the present invention realizes the efficient removal of pollutants and the optimization of membrane performance through the synergistic effect of multi-dimensional electric fields and photocatalysis: the removal rate of DOC (Dissolved Organic Carbon) exceeds 90%, the COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) is reduced to less than 15 mg / L, the microbial retention rate reaches over 99.9%, significantly improving the water purification effect; the fluctuation of the membrane operating pressure is reduced by 40%, and the cleaning cycle is extended to twice that of traditional devices, effectively reducing membrane fouling and maintenance costs; the comprehensive energy consumption is reduced by 30%, and it is applicable to the deep treatment scenarios of highly polluted industrial wastewater and drinking water, combining high efficiency, economy and wide applicability.

[0024] Specifically, the intelligent control module 5 includes a water quality sensor, an adjustable power supply and an LED ultraviolet light source; the water quality sensors are located at the inlet and outlet. The water quality sensor at the inlet is located at the front end of the inlet pipe and is used to monitor the raw water quality parameters (such as COD, TOC, turbidity, pH value, conductivity, etc.) in real time. The water quality sensor at the outlet is located at the purified water outlet and is used for the final verification of water quality compliance.

[0025] Specifically, the axial electrode 3 is connected to the positive electrode, the radial electrode array 4 is connected to the variable positive / negative electrode in regions, and the photocatalytic ultrafiltration membrane module 2 is connected to the negative electrode.

[0026] Specifically, the ultraviolet light sources are evenly distributed around the outside of the photocatalytic ultrafiltration membrane module 2; the frequency of the adjustable power supply in the pulse output mode is 10 to 100 Hz.

[0027] Specifically, the distance between the ultraviolet light source and the surface of the photocatalytic ultrafiltration membrane module 2 is 3 to 7 cm.

[0028] The water quality parameters mainly detected by the water quality sensor are COD, TOC, turbidity, pH value, conductivity, etc. The process of the intelligent control module 5 dynamically adjusting the electric field strength, electrode polarity and light intensity parameters according to the real-time water quality is as follows: when the COD increases by 20 mg / L each time, the axial electric field strength is increased by 1 V / cm; when TOC > 10 mg / L, the ultraviolet light intensity is increased from 30 mW / cm² to 50 mW / cm². If TOC < 5 mg / L and turbidity < 1 NTU, the ultraviolet lamp is turned off; when the conductivity > 3 mS / cm, the pulse mode (10 to 100 Hz) is started, and the positive and negative electrodes are switched every 5 minutes; when the pH value < 4 or > 10, the ultraviolet light source switch is turned off.

[0029] In this embodiment, the intelligent control module 5 sets water quality sensors at the water inlet and outlet respectively to monitor key parameters of raw water and purified water in real time, such as COD, TOC, turbidity, pH value, conductivity, etc., and dynamically adjusts the electric field strength, electrode polarity and light parameters in combination with preset rules. This intelligent regulation mechanism with multi-parameter linkage not only realizes the adaptive treatment of complex water quality, avoids energy waste, but also significantly improves the pollutant removal efficiency and extends the service life of the membrane module by precisely matching the electric field and photocatalysis conditions, ensuring that the device can operate stably and efficiently under different working conditions.

[0030] The present invention adsorbs charged pollutants through a stable main electric field, captures neutral pollutants through a dynamic cross electric field dielectrophoresis, and utilizes the synergistic effect of the electric field and photocatalysis to optimize the pollutant distribution on the membrane surface and achieve self-cleaning, thereby significantly improving the removal efficiency of the device for all types of pollutants and the long-term stability of the membrane performance.

[0031] Specifically, the hollow porous support 1b is a hollow cylinder made of polypropylene, the aperture of the hole in the middle of the hollow porous support (1b) is 10 to 50 μm, and the porosity ≥ 70%.

[0034] Specifically, the aperture of the micropores 3a is 5 μm to 15 μm, and the pore density is 90 to 100 pores / cm².

[0035] In this embodiment, the thickness of the composite conductive filter membrane can maintain a high ion conduction efficiency while ensuring mechanical strength, avoiding an increase in resistance caused by being too thick or a risk of breakage caused by being too thin; the polyethersulfone-based membrane can not only accurately intercept macromolecular pollutants with a molecular weight greater than 10 kDa (such as proteins and colloids), but also reduce the membrane filtration resistance through a larger aperture and improve the water flux; the axial electrode micropores can ensure uniform water flow while providing sufficient migration channels for charged pollutants, enhancing the electric field adsorption effect, and the dense and uniform micropore distribution can optimize the electric field distribution, reduce local eddy currents, and improve the overall filtration efficiency and stability.

The thickness of the graphene / polyaniline composite conductive filter membrane 1a is 50 μm to 100 μm.

[0037] In this embodiment, the manufacturing method of the conductive filter element module realizes performance optimization through a multi-step process.

Using an ultraviolet laser drilling machine (wavelength 355 nm, power 30 W), holes with a diameter of 5 to 15 μm and a pore density of 100 holes / cm² were evenly drilled on the surface of the carbon fiber tube. After drilling, it was ultrasonically cleaned again to remove residual carbon chips. Conductive silver paste was coated on the inner walls at both ends of the carbon fiber tube, and copper wires (diameter 2 mm) were connected. After curing, the resistance ≤ 0.1 Ω. The hollow carbon fiber tube was nested inside the photocatalytic ultrafiltration membrane module and fixed by a sealing ring to avoid water leakage.

The photocatalytic synergistic multi-dimensional electric field composite membrane filtration device according to claim 1, characterized in that, The manufacturing method of the photocatalytic ultrafiltration membrane module (2) includes the following steps: Soak the polyethersulfone substrate membrane (2a) in deionized water and ultrasonically clean it; rinse it with absolute ethanol and dry it under vacuum at 30 to 50 °C for standby to obtain a pretreated polyethersulfone substrate membrane (2a). Add tetrabutyl titanate dropwise to absolute ethanol to make the volume fraction of tetrabutyl titanate 20 to 30%, and stir magnetically for 20 - 30 minutes; then add acetic acid with a volume of 50% of the tetrabutyl titanate volume and continue stirring until the solution becomes clear; then gradually add deionized water dropwise until a transparent TiO2 sol is formed. Take a graphene oxide dispersion with a volume twice that of the tetrabutyl titanate and add it to the TiO2 sol; ultrasonically treat it for 1 to 3 hours, add cetyltrimethylammonium bromide to make its concentration 1 to 2 g / L, and stir for 1 to 3 hours to form a TiO2 / rGO composite sol. Fix the pretreated polyethersulfone substrate membrane (2a) on the dip coater bracket, immerse the polyethersulfone substrate membrane (2a) into the TiO2 / rGO composite sol at a speed of 0.3 to 0.7 cm / s, stay for 8 to 12 seconds and then pull it up evenly to form a uniform coating; repeat dip coating multiple times, and dry it at room temperature after each coating to obtain a coated polyethersulfone substrate membrane (2a). Place the coated polyethersulfone substrate membrane (2a) in an ultraviolet curing box and irradiate it with ultraviolet light at 365 nm for 20 to 40 minutes; soak the cured polyethersulfone substrate membrane (2a) in 0.1 mol / L NaOH solution for 8 to 12 minutes; rinse it with deionized water and dry it under vacuum at 30 to 50 °C to obtain a polyethersulfone substrate membrane (2a) loaded with a TiO2 / rGO composite photocatalytic layer (2b).
