[0002] Ionic liquids are ionic compounds that are liquid at or near room temperature. They possess excellent chemical and thermal stability and are widely used in various fields, such as chemical synthesis, electrochemical energy, and material separation and purification. As the applications of ionic liquids continue to expand, their concentration has become a key research topic. Because ionic liquids can become diluted during application, their concentration decreases, affecting their performance and effectiveness. Therefore, effectively concentrating low-concentration ionic liquids has become a pressing issue.
[0003] In the existing technology, evaporation and concentration are usually used to concentrate low-concentration ionic liquids. Although the existing technology has solved the problem of ionic liquid concentration to a certain extent, some limitations still exist.

Second, the evaporation and concentration process is time-consuming, and the concentration effect of low-concentration ionic liquids is unstable. Ionic liquids are easily entrained in water, affecting the performance and application effect of reuse. Third, although ion exchange resins and chromatography technologies can achieve the purification and concentration of ionic liquids, their equipment is complex, the operation is cumbersome, and the cost is high, making it difficult to promote large-scale application.

[0023] The working process and principle of this utility model are:
[0024] Step 1: High-efficiency concentration of low-concentration ionic liquid using the highly resistant high-pressure reverse osmosis membrane system 3 and the customized ceramic membrane assembly 5. The specific steps include: Initially concentrating the low-concentration ionic liquid through the highly resistant high-pressure reverse osmosis membrane system 3 to obtain an ionic liquid concentrate of approximately 15%; then, further concentrating the 15% ionic liquid concentrate using the customized ceramic membrane assembly 5 to obtain a high-concentration ionic liquid concentrate of over 80%. During this process, the temperature is controlled between 25-35°C and the pressure is controlled between 1.5-2 MPa.
[0025] Step 2: Evaporation processor 8 processes the 80% ionic liquid, completely separating it from water, improving processing efficiency and reducing overall processing energy consumption. Specifically, the concentrated liquid produced by ceramic membrane assembly 5 is processed by evaporation processor 8, gradually separating the water and achieving complete separation of the ionic liquid and water. During this process, the temperature is controlled at 60°C under vacuum.
[0026] Step 3: The purified liquid produced by the customized ceramic membrane group 5 is processed through the ultra-high water yield and low energy consumption reverse osmosis membrane group 7 to purify the low-concentration ionic liquid and improve its utilization rate. The concentrated liquid continues to flow back to the ultra-strong anti-pollution high-pressure reverse osmosis membrane system 3. The specific steps include: the purified liquid produced during the concentration process is passed through the ultra-high water yield and low energy consumption reverse osmosis membrane group 7, the clean water flows into the purification system, and the low-concentration ionic liquid concentrate is circulated through the ultra-strong anti-pollution high-pressure reverse osmosis membrane system 3 for concentration and purification. During this process, the temperature is controlled at 25-35°C and the pressure is controlled at 1-1.4MPa.
[0027] Step 4: The water treated by a new set of ultra-high-yield, low-energy-consumption reverse osmosis membranes passes through the purification system again, reducing wastewater generation and mitigating environmental impact. The specific steps include: passing the purified liquid through the ultra-high-yield, low-energy-consumption reverse osmosis membrane group 7 to obtain water with a COD of less than 500 ppm; then, the water is further treated by passing it through a TOC degrader 11 and a pleated filter 12 to obtain household-grade water. Preferably, the pleated filter 12 uses a nanofiltration membrane to achieve resource recycling and reduce environmental pollution.
