Abstract

[0002] An ultrafiltration device utilizes an ultrafiltration membrane for separation and purification. Its operating principles are based on sieving theory and adsorption bridging. Ultrafiltration membranes have pore sizes ranging from nanometers to micrometers, allowing water and small molecules to pass through while retaining particles larger than the membrane pore size, bacteria, viruses, colloids, and some organic macromolecules. Driven by a certain pressure, the aqueous solution to be treated passes through the ultrafiltration membrane. Small molecules and solvent molecules within the solution pass through the membrane surface, while larger particles are retained upstream of the membrane, achieving solid-liquid separation and purification.
[0003] During the operation of chemical water treatment plants, especially during the cold winter months in northern China, the ultrafiltration inlet water temperature is too low, causing a decrease in the permeation flux of the ultrafiltration membrane. The permeation flux of the membrane is closely related to its temperature. Low inlet water temperature reduces the water output of the ultrafiltration membrane and may lead to problems such as reduced separation efficiency, increased energy consumption, and shortened membrane life, resulting in increased production and operating costs.
