Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of water treatment brine reuse and relates to a hollow microfiltration membrane separation device for recovering nanometer-level calcium and magnesium precipitates from brine. Background Art

[0002] Traditionally, magnesium resources are obtained through magnesite mining, which consumes significant amounts of non-renewable energy and causes irreversible damage to the environment and landscape. Calcium resources, on the other hand, rely on traditional limestone mining. Calcium and magnesium ions are abundant in various brines, including but not limited to reverse osmosis concentrate from desalination, circulating cooling water, bittern, industrial high-salinity brine, and some lower-concentration, low-salinity brines. Electrochemical "homogeneous nucleation" technology can be used to convert the calcium and magnesium ions in these brines into nanoscale calcium and magnesium precipitates for recycling, such as calcium carbonate (CaCO3), magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2), calcium sulfate (MgSO4), calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), and calcium hydrogen phosphate (CaHPO4). This electrochemical technology not only recycles these wastewaters into usable resources, but also has low carbon emissions and is environmentally friendly, making it a green and efficient recycling technology. During the recycling process, separating the nanoscale calcium and magnesium precipitates from the electrolyte requires the use of a suitable filtration device.

[0003] Existing filtration devices, such as sand filters, activated carbon filters, bag filters, and ceramic filters, primarily target larger particles. However, the electrochemical recovery process for calcium and magnesium precipitates produces nanoscale precipitates, making these filtration devices unsuitable. Filters targeting nanoscale sizes, such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and nanofiltration, are primarily designed to filter impurities from water, resulting in a purer, less contaminated effluent. However, during the electrolytic brine recovery process for nanoscale calcium and magnesium precipitation, the target product is solid matter trapped on the filter membrane surface. These precipitates have a high water content, making them difficult to separate. Their high viscosity and small size make them ineffective for separation using conventional filters. Furthermore, conventional reactors use backwashing with water to remove solid impurities trapped on the filter membrane surface. This high-flow backwashing increases the water content of the solid product, making it unsuitable for practical applications.

[0004] In the existing technology, in the utility model patent "A High-Efficiency Centrifugal Sewage Treatment Equipment" (authorization announcement number CN212017047U), the inventor proposed a method of using centrifugal force to remove sewage. The sticky substances in the sewage are trapped on the filter net, and finally the sticky substances are removed by the vibration of the box. This new method realizes the filtration and recovery of sticky substances, but the particle size of the solid substances cannot reach the nanometer level. In the invention patent "Microfiltration Device for Sticky Fish Farming" (publication number CN118985517A), the inventor proposed a microfiltration device for sticky fish farming. The device can achieve micron-level filtration of sticky devices, but by spraying high-temperature water or high-pressure steam onto the filter surface of the microfiltration drum to clean the aqueous mucus adhering to the filter surface, this slag cleaning method increases the water content of the resulting solid product.

[0005] Since the above separation equipment cannot meet the filtering function of micro-nano-scale calcium and magnesium precipitates, it is urgent to invent a new filtering device suitable for the solid-liquid separation of micro-nano-scale calcium and magnesium precipitates produced during the electrolysis of brine. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to solve the problem that solid products with low water content cannot be separated from the reaction solution during the process of producing nano-scale magnesium hydroxide and calcium carbonate by electrolysis of water, the present invention develops a hollow microfiltration membrane separation device that can separate nano-scale solid products from the reaction solution without increasing the water content of the solids.
