Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of nanofiltration membrane elements, and particularly relates to a thin film gel forming device based on gel tank phase separation technology. Background Art
[0002] Nanofiltration technology has been separated from reverse osmosis technology and has become an independent separation technology between ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis technologies. It has been widely used in many fields such as seawater desalination, ultrapure water production, food industry, environmental protection, etc., and has become an important branch of membrane separation technology.
[0003] At present, the application fields of nanofiltration membranes in China mainly focus on industrial separation, sewage and wastewater treatment, reclaimed water treatment, seawater desalination and other fields. As an advanced and competitive industrial separation and water treatment technology at present, nanofiltration membrane technology is very compatible with the concept of building an energy-saving and emission-reduction society, promoting clean production, developing circular economy and realizing sustainable development in China, and has a very broad application space and development prospect. During the preparation and production of nanofiltration membranes, a thin film forming device is needed to attach a layer of polysulfone resin on its surface, which is beneficial to the smooth progress of subsequent processing and production work.
[0004] However, for the existing thin film forming device for producing nanofiltration membranes, a certain amount of polysulfone and dimethylformamide (DMF) are mixed in a gel tank, and non-woven fabrics are soaked in it. Then, the phase separation of the membrane is completed by using water and DMF, and the polysulfone resin remains on the surface of the non-woven fabric to form a thin film. However, it is difficult to detect whether the DMF is evenly mixed and whether the concentration of each layer of mixing is equal. If the mixing is uneven, it will affect the quality of the subsequent film forming work. At the same time, during the process of technical phase separation, water needs to be fully fused and contacted with DMF to complete the function of highly separated film forming. Therefore, we need to design a thin film gel forming device based on gel tank phase separation technology to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Utility Model
