Description

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of DTRO, and specifically relates to a DTRO salt separation device for sodium sulfate concentrated brine. Background Art

[0002] The production operation of coal chemical enterprises consumes a large amount of water. In order to save water, enterprises treat water such as sewage discharged from the circulating water device, concentrated desalted water, reclaimed water after sewage treatment, and backwash water of the reuse water device through methods such as COD degradation, hardness removal, filtration, and reverse osmosis to obtain reuse water, and then send the reuse water back to the production device, thereby reducing the water consumption of the enterprise.

[0003] However, while producing reuse water, enterprises also generate a part of sodium sulfate concentrated brine. This part of sodium sulfate concentrated brine separates sodium sulfate in the concentrated brine through the combination of DTRO (disc tube reverse osmosis) and freezing crystallization technology. However, this part of sodium sulfate concentrated brine also contains silicon, a small amount of organic matter, and calcium and magnesium ions, which causes the membrane sheets of the DTRO device to become blocked after running for a short time. Especially when the silicon content and organic matter content in the sodium sulfate concentrated brine are relatively high, the membrane sheets of the DTRO device become blocked after running for two days, forcing the DTRO device to stop for membrane cleaning. Frequent membrane blockage makes it difficult for the DTRO device to operate stably for a long time. Content of the Utility Model
