Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of forward osmosis membranes, in particular to a forward osmosis membrane with a supporting layer. Background Art

[0002] Forward osmosis is a natural phenomenon, but it is also a new type of concentration-driven membrane separation technology developed in recent years. It is a membrane separation process that relies on the osmotic pressure difference on both sides of the selective permeable membrane as a driving force to spontaneously realize water transfer. It is one of the hot spots in the field of membrane separation research in the world. Forward osmosis membranes are currently widely used in the field of water filtration.

[0003] For example, the public document: CN215388742U, named "A forward osmosis membrane with anti-pollution function", includes a support layer, a porous layer and an active layer, the support layer is fixedly connected to the porous layer, and the porous layer is fixedly connected to the active layer. In the utility model, the support layer, the porous layer and the active layer are set, and this setting is coordinated with the fixed connection between the support layer and the porous layer and the fixed connection between the porous layer and the active layer. In this way, the anti-pollution function of the forward osmosis membrane can be effectively ensured through the physical properties of the active layer's own material, and its chemical resistance can be greatly increased. At the same time, due to the setting of the pore thickness, not only the strength of the forward osmosis membrane can be greatly increased, but also the permeation flow rate of the forward osmosis membrane can be effectively improved, so that water can flow in smoothly, greatly improving the efficiency of water filtration.

[0004] The above-mentioned existing forward osmosis membrane is a single support layer. In an environment with turbulent water flow, the single support layer is not enough to cope with the impact force of the water flow, resulting in certain limitations. When the number of forward osmosis membrane layers is large, the single support layer cannot meet the support requirements. Therefore, it does not meet the existing needs. We have proposed a forward osmosis membrane with a support layer. Utility Model Content

The outer walls of the first PET support layer and the second PET support layer are both provided with a plurality of first filter holes and second filter holes, and the first filter holes and the second filter holes are arranged alternately.

[0011] Preferably, a first bamboo charcoal fiber layer is arranged at the front end of the first PET composite support layer, and a second bamboo charcoal fiber layer is arranged at the rear end of the second PET composite support layer.

[0013] Preferably, a first external filter layer is disposed at the front end of the first bamboo charcoal fiber layer, and a second external filter layer is disposed at the rear end of the second bamboo charcoal fiber layer.

[0014] Preferably, outer filter holes are arranged on the outer walls of the first outer filter layer and the second outer filter layer, and the apertures of the outer filter holes become smaller as they are positioned further back.
