Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of composite separation membranes, in particular to the structural design of a manual device for a multifunctional composite separation membrane. Background Art
[0002] Membrane technology is a new type of material separation technology. Due to its advantages of not changing the original material type, not introducing new impurity components, low energy consumption, small floor area, safety and stability, etc., it has gradually replaced traditional processes such as thermal distillation and extraction and is widely used in fields such as seawater desalination, reclaimed water reuse, lithium extraction from salt lakes, zero discharge of industrial wastewater, and salt separation.
[0003] Composite membranes are the current mainstream membrane products. Structurally, they generally include non-woven fabric, a polysulfone support layer, and a characteristic separation layer. Among them, the characteristic separation layer dominates the separation effect between salt and water, monovalent salt and polyvalent salt, and salt and small molecule organic matter. In order to improve the water production of composite membranes, the interfacial polymerization method is usually used to prepare the characteristic separation layer. It generates a polymer film at the interface through active water and oil phase monomers. The characteristic separation layer is extremely thin, generally only dozens of nanometers.
[0004] The steps for preparing the characteristic separation layer by interfacial polymerization mainly include: coating an aqueous solution on the surface of the base membrane - drying the residual aqueous solution on the surface with an air knife - coating an oil phase solution on the surface of the base membrane - drying the membrane body with hot water and then cross-linking - post-treatment cleaning; the first three steps are the synthesis stage, which controls the overall filtration effect of the composite membrane. The current mainstream process is still a staged operation, but this process will inevitably be affected by the external environment, and the process of "drying the residual aqueous solution on the surface with an air knife" is extremely difficult to control. If the operation is improper, it will cause large-scale defects on the surface of the composite membrane, resulting in the complete loss of the separation function of the membrane.
[0005] Therefore, it is an urgent technical problem to be solved at present to develop a multifunctional composite separation membrane manual device with a delicate structure, simple preparation, stability, and that can simultaneously meet the preparation of composite separation membranes and the integrity test of composite separation membranes.

If the liquid level of the salt solution rises, it indicates that the composite membrane has integrity. Description of the Drawings

[0035] The present utility model will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2;
[0036] A manual device for a multifunctional composite separation membrane, comprising:
[0037] An aqueous phase tank 100, provided with an aqueous phase solution chamber having an opening at the top; an aqueous phase inlet 110 is provided at a position near the bottom of the side of the aqueous phase tank 100, and the aqueous phase inlet 110 is connected to an aqueous phase pump through an aqueous phase pipe; an aqueous phase outlet 120 is provided near the top position;
[0038] An aqueous phase connecting plate is provided at the opening of the aqueous phase tank 100;
[0039] A first sealing groove adapted to the sealing ring 300 is provided on the aqueous phase connecting plate.
[0040] A plurality of threaded holes A or through holes A are provided on the aqueous phase connecting plate.
[0041] An oil phase tank 200, provided with an oil phase solution chamber having an opening at the top; an oil phase inlet 210 is provided at a position near the bottom of the side of the oil phase tank 100, and the oil phase inlet 210 is connected to an oil phase pump through an oil phase pipe, and an oil phase outlet 220 is provided near the top position;

[0045] In this case, the aqueous phase tank 100 and the oil phase tank 200 are made of glass material respectively to avoid being corroded by the oil phase solvent during the interfacial polymerization operation, and the opening diameters of the aqueous phase tank 100 and the oil phase tank 200 are equal.
[0046] A sealing ring 300, provided in a pair, is respectively detachably and fixedly provided at the openings of the aqueous and oil phase tanks; in this case, the sealing ring 300 is made of rubber material;
[0047] During use, the membrane 400 is located between a pair of sealing rings 300, and the aqueous phase tank 100 and the oil phase tank 200 are detachably and hermetically fixedly connected through a connecting member. If it is used for the preparation of a composite membrane, the membrane 400 used is an ultrafiltration membrane, with the large pore surface facing the aqueous phase solution and the small pore surface facing the oil phase solution; if it is used for the integrity detection of the composite membrane, the characteristic separation layer faces the pure aqueous solution and the large pore layer faces the salt solution.
[0048] The specific use steps are as follows:
[0049] When used for the preparation of composite separation membranes:
[0050] a. Clean the aqueous phase tank 100 and the oil phase tank 200, and dry them with nitrogen.

[0057] In the interfacial polymerization process of the device in this case, the water and oil phase solutions diffuse and contact from both sides of the base membrane and form a polyamide separation layer, rather than the traditional process where the water and oil phases must be coated on the same side of the base membrane, effectively avoiding the process of air knife drying.
