Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of chemical production, and particularly relates to an ultrafiltration membrane alkali washing system for treating polymerization centrifugal mother liquor water. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production process of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) suspension polymerization, a large amount of centrifugal mother liquor water is generated, which is a liquid containing high-concentration small particles and dissolved substances obtained by using a centrifuge to separate the mixed liquid after reaction, but polymer particles of all sizes cannot be completely removed in the centrifugal separation stage, and a small amount of residual polymer particles remain in the mother liquor water. If the mother liquor water is directly discharged without effective treatment, it will cause serious pollution to the environment. Therefore, the polymerization centrifugal mother liquor water usually needs to be purified by effective treatment processes, such as biochemical treatment, membrane separation, chemical precipitation, etc., to meet the environmental discharge standards or achieve the resource utilization of wastewater.

[0003] At present, ultrafiltration membranes are widely used to separate the centrifugal mother liquor water. However, due to the high frequency of use, various pollutants in the used ultrafiltration membranes accumulate on the membrane surface or in the internal channels, resulting in a decrease in membrane flux and a decrease in interception rate, which makes it difficult for the ultrafiltration device to meet the design requirements of water production, and even eventually loses the filtration function. In order to ensure the treatment capacity of the centrifugal mother liquor water, the ultrafiltration membrane tube needs to be frequently replaced and cleaned. The original acid washing method has no obvious effect on the cleaning of the polymerization centrifugal mother liquor ultrafiltration, and at the same time, it has a negative effect on the ultrafiltration membrane, resulting in the scrap of the membrane tube, affecting the treatment capacity of the centrifugal mother liquor water, and causing serious waste of water resources and great economic losses.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0016] like Figure 1As shown, an ultrafiltration membrane alkaline washing system for treating polymer centrifugal mother liquor is characterized by comprising a washing tank 1, a security filter 7, and an ultrafiltration membrane 13. The washing tank 1 and the security filter 7 are connected by a washing water pipe 3, which is connected to the bottom inlet of the security filter 7. The security filter 7 and the ultrafiltration membrane 13 are connected by an ultrafiltration water inlet pipe 8, one end of which is connected to the top outlet of the security filter 7, and the other end of which is connected to the inlet of the ultrafiltration membrane 13.

[0017] The ultrafiltration membrane 13 has a product water outlet connected to a product water pipe 9, a product water valve 10 on the product water pipe 9, a product water return pipe 12 on the product water pipe 9, the other end of the product water return pipe 12 is connected to the cleaning tank 1, and a product water return valve 11 is provided on the product water return pipe 12.

[0018] The concentrate outlet of the ultrafiltration membrane 13 is connected to a concentrate drain pipe 14, a concentrate drain valve 15 is provided on the concentrate drain pipe 14, and a concentrate return pipe 18 is also provided on the concentrate drain pipe 14. The other end of the concentrate return pipe 18 is connected to the cleaning tank 1, and a concentrate return valve 17 is provided on the concentrate return pipe 18.

[0019] The drain outlet of the ultrafiltration membrane 13 is connected to a drain pipe, and a bottom drain valve 16 is provided on the drain pipe for draining after daily cleaning. During cleaning, the pH value of the drained water is measured through the bottom drain valve 16.

[0020] The cleaning tank 1 is also connected to a feeding pipe 19, a steam heating pipe 20, and a thermometer 21.

[0023] In use, open the valve of the feed pipe 19 and add 5% alkali solution (sodium hydroxide) to the cleaning tank 1. When the liquid level reaches 70% in the cleaning tank 1, close the valve of the feed pipe 19 and open the valve on the steam heating pipe 20 at the bottom of the cleaning tank to start heating the alkali solution in the cleaning tank 1. Observe the temperature of the alkali solution with the thermometer 21 until it reaches 40℃. Close the clear water valve 6, product water valve 10, and concentrate drain valve 15.
