Acid cleaning can remove most chemical scale contamination, and alkaline cleaning can remove most organic and microbial contamination.

[0032] For this purpose, the agent prepared by this technical solution is suitable for offline cleaning; the reverse osmosis membrane contaminated by PAC scale is first subjected to conventional acid and alkali washing, and then cleaned with this agent. The cleaning addition amount of this agent is 1 to 5 kilograms per liter of water. When the fouling is serious, the dosage can be increased appropriately.
[0033] Simulated sewage pollution: The sewage used was prepared by a certain amount of food-grade PAC and sodium alginate in sodium chloride solution. The pollution experiment was carried out at a temperature of 30°C and a pressure of 2.5 MPa.
[0034] The specific steps are:
[0035] (1) Add a certain amount of food-grade PAC and sodium alginate to a 1000 mL beaker and add an appropriate amount of tap water. Place the beaker in a CNC ultrasonic cleaner and stir gently with a glass rod to prevent the contaminants from caking at the bottom of the beaker. Ultrasonicate at 30°C for 30 minutes to fully dissolve the food-grade PAC and sodium alginate. Pour the mixture into a specific container and adjust the volume to 10 L. Add 120 g of sodium chloride to make a 12000 ppm NaCl solution, stir for 15 minutes, and let it stand for 4 hours for use.
[0036] (2) Cut out a circular membrane sheet (D-97mm) of the same size as the flat membrane assembly, soak it in water at room temperature for 1 hour to moisten the membrane sheet, then remove the membrane sheet, rinse it with deionized water, place it in the flat membrane assembly and fix it;
[0037] (3) Pour the prepared organic contamination solution into the water tank of the membrane evaluation device and turn on the temperature controller to raise the temperature and stabilize it to 30°C;
[0038] (4) The hydraulic diaphragm metering pump was turned on to conduct an organic contamination experiment on the membrane. The concentrated water and the produced water were returned to the water tank of the membrane evaluation device at the same time. Since the diaphragm area was very small, the incoming water was considered to have a constant composition. The operation was carried out for 10.5 h (the flux decreased by 23%).
