In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the device positional relationships such as "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right" and the like in all the drawings are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 As standard.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a ceramic hollow fiber membrane industrial component with a refractory feed includes a membrane component housing 10, a multi-membrane core sleeve 30 and a hollow fiber membrane core 20, at least two layers of hollow fiber membrane cores 20 are placed in the multi-membrane core sleeve 30; and at least one refractory baffle 70 is set between the hollow fiber membrane cores 20 of the same layer, and at least two horizontal partition baffles 90 arranged in a staggered manner are set between two adjacent layers of hollow fiber membrane cores 20; a connecting curved guide channel is formed between the multi-membrane core sleeve 30 and the refractory baffle 70, between the refractory baffles 70 and between at least two horizontal partition baffles 90 of two adjacent layers. In the specific implementation process, the refractory baffle 70 may also include the following Figure 5 The body 72 and the connecting portion 73 are shown, wherein the body is the main part thereof and is used for isolation and drainage, and the connecting portion 73 is used for fixing it.

[0029] The utility model provides a manufacturing method for a ceramic hollow fiber membrane industrial component with a refractory and high-efficiency feed as follows: first, a single hollow fiber membrane is encapsulated to prepare a hollow fiber membrane core with a one-way opening, the hollow fiber membrane core is installed in a membrane core casing with a consistent opening shape, the open casting end of the hollow fiber membrane core is fixed with an upper pressure plate and a lower pressure plate, and finally, the hollow fiber membrane core is sealed on all sides.

[0030] In at least one embodiment, a barrier layer 100 is formed between the outside of the multi-membrane core sleeve 30 and the inside of the membrane assembly housing 10, and a barrier layer inlet 31 and a barrier layer outlet 32 ​​are respectively provided near the top and bottom positions of the multi-membrane core sleeve 30 located on the barrier layer 100; and water vapor is introduced into the barrier layer 100 for heating.

[0031] In at least one embodiment, the membrane assembly housing 10 is located at the top or bottom of the hollow fiber membrane core 20, and an upper pressure plate 50 and a lower pressure plate 40 are respectively provided on the top, and the upper pressure plate 50 and the lower pressure plate 40 provide fixed support points for the hollow fiber membrane core 20 so as to fix the hollow fiber membrane core 20 in the multi-membrane core sleeve 30.

[0032] In at least one embodiment, one end of the deflection baffle 70 is connected to the lower pressure plate 40 or fixes the horizontal partition baffle 90, and the other end of the deflection baffle 70 is suspended in the air, thereby forming a bending point of the guide channel with the horizontal partition baffle 90 or the lower pressure plate 40.

[0033] In at least one embodiment, the deflection baffle 70 is provided with a plurality of through holes 71 near the free end to accelerate the diversion rate and improve the turbulent characteristics of the liquid near the bending portion. Due to the presence of the through holes, the material that has just been turned back at the free end flows in a direction parallel to the hollow fiber membrane core 20 and is impacted by a water flow in a vertical direction, thereby further enhancing the turbulence at the bending position and avoiding the deposition of pollutants in the dead corners at the bending position caused by the diversion of the water flow.

One end of the drainage plate 80 is located on the horizontal partition baffle 90, and the other end is provided on the deflection baffle 70. Such a structure changes the nearly vertical dead angle between the horizontal partition baffle 90 and the deflection baffle 70, so that in the process of liquid deflection, it is not easy to form a dead angle where the flow slows down and causes the deposition of solutes, etc. In the specific implementation process, the drainage plate can be fixed in this position or can be placed movably. The specific shape is mainly based on the position away from the bottom of the hollow fiber membrane core 20 where impurities are easily deposited and accumulated, or it can be based on the bottom of the hollow fiber membrane core 20 near the middle layer to collect accumulated impurities for easy cleaning.

[0035] The outer diameter of the hollow fiber membrane core 20 is 6.5 cm and the length is 40 cm. It contains 34 four-channel hollow fiber composite membranes, wherein the support layer is α-Al2O3, the separation layer is NaA molecular sieve membrane, and the hollow fiber membrane tube is glaze sealed.

Upper and lower baffles are located on either side of the membrane core casing to control the flow direction of the liquid. A baffle is placed between the two layers of hollow fiber membrane cores to form a diversion channel sandwich, guiding the flow of the liquid.

[0038] In at least one embodiment, the number of deflection baffles 70 provided between any two layers of the hollow fiber membrane cores 20 is 2-5, thereby effectively increasing the reaction time and area of ​​the hollow fiber membrane cores 20, thereby improving their efficiency.
