Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The outlet 5 of the pretreatment device is connected to the drug inlet 12 of the heat exchanger via a first pipeline 22. The nanofiltration device includes a nanofiltration membrane element 17 and a membrane housing 16. The nanofiltration inlet 18 of the nanofiltration membrane element 17 is connected to the drug outlet 15 of the heat exchanger via a second pipeline 23. The concentrated liquid outlet 20 of the nanofiltration membrane element 17 is connected to a third pipeline 24. The third pipeline 24 is connected to the interior of the pretreatment device via a reflux port 25 located at the top of the pretreatment device. The membrane housing 16 has a permeate outlet 19 on its side.
[0023] like Figure 1As shown in the utility model desalination concentration system, the coolant inlet and outlet of the pretreatment device are connected with the coolant inlet and outlet of the heat exchanger through the coolant production device 27 and the pipeline to form a coolant circulation flow. The specific path is: the coolant production device 27 outputs the coolant from the fourth pipeline 28, then the coolant flows into the pretreatment device through the coolant inlet of the pretreatment device, and the coolant is used for cooling treatment of the liquid medicine in the device. After that, the coolant flows out from the coolant outlet of the pretreatment device, and enters the heat exchanger through the fifth pipeline 29 at a certain flow rate and pressure, and then the coolant is used for further cooling of the cooled liquid medicine. After completing heat exchange, the coolant is heated and flows back to the coolant production device 27 through the sixth pipeline 30 from the coolant outlet of the heat exchanger, to form a coolant circulation flow. In the desalination concentration system, the coolant provided by the coolant production device 27 is generally cooling water.
[0024] As Figure 1 shown, the pretreatment device of the desalination concentration system of the utility model includes a liquid medicine tank 2 and a tank body 1, the liquid medicine tank 2 is wrapped by the tank body 1, a cavity 3 for coolant circulation is formed between the liquid medicine tank 2 and the tank body 1, the bottom of the tank body 1 is provided with a coolant inlet cavity 4, and the side wall of the tank body is provided with a coolant outlet cavity 7. The heat exchanger generally adopts a column type heat exchanger 11. The first pipeline 22 is provided with a thermometer 8, a booster pump 9 and a pressure gauge 10, and the booster pump 9 is located between the thermometer 8 and the pressure gauge 10. The third pipeline 25 is provided with a pressure valve 21 for controlling the pressure of the whole system. The offline electric conductivity instrument 26 extends to the inside through the backflow port 25 arranged at the top of the pretreatment device to detect the electric conductivity of the liquid medicine after desalination and concentration in real time. The bottom of the pretreatment device is provided with a liquid discharge port 6 for discharging the liquid medicine after desalination and concentration.
[0025] As Figure 1As shown, first, the medicine liquid is preliminarily cooled: the traditional Chinese medicine extract is injected into the medicine liquid tank 2, at the same time, the refrigerant flows out from the refrigerant production device 27, enters the cavity 3 through the fourth pipeline 28 and the refrigerant inlet cavity port 4 at the bottom of the tank body 1, and cools the medicine liquid. Then, the heat exchange process is entered: the refrigerant in the cavity 3 enters the column heat exchanger 11 through the fifth pipeline 29 and the refrigerant inlet heat exchanger port 13; the cooled medicine liquid in the medicine liquid tank 2 is pressurized by the booster pump 9 through the liquid outlet 5, enters the column heat exchanger 11 through the first pipeline 22 and the medicine liquid inlet 12; in the column heat exchanger 11, the medicine liquid and the refrigerant are heat exchanged, the warmed refrigerant enters the refrigerant production device 27 through the sixth pipeline 30 and the refrigerant outlet heat exchanger port 14 to realize the circulation of the refrigerant, and the cooled medicine liquid flows out from the medicine liquid outlet 15 of the column heat exchanger 11. Subsequently, the nanofiltration operation is started: the fully cooled medicine liquid enters the nanofiltration inlet 18 of the nanofiltration membrane element 17 through the second pipeline 23, the pressure regulating valve 21 starts desalination and concentration, the permeate is collected from the permeate liquid outlet 19, and the concentrated liquid is recovered to the medicine liquid tank 2 through the third pipeline 24 for circulation treatment. The whole process is monitored and controlled in real time by the thermometer 8, the pressure gauge 10 and the offline electric conductivity meter 26: the thermometer 8 ensures that the temperature of the medicine liquid is appropriate to avoid affecting the quality; the pressure gauge 10 monitors the pressure to prevent fluctuations; the offline electric conductivity meter 26 is monitored in real time, and when the electric conductivity of the medicine liquid is reduced to the production index, the pressure regulating valve 21 is adjusted to collect the medicine liquid from the liquid outlet 6.
[0026] Nanofiltration principle: nanofiltration technology is the core technology of the system and plays a key role in the desalination and concentration process. Nanofiltration removes monovalent inorganic salts, small molecule organic substances and solvents through pore size screening, charge and solubility diffusion effects. Specifically, the pore size screening effect screens the substances in the medicine liquid according to the pore size of the nanofiltration membrane, so that small molecule solvents and part of the effective components permeate, and macromolecular substances and monovalent inorganic salts such as potassium ions are retained; the charge effect is based on the charge characteristics of the membrane surface, which enhances the repulsion of charged ions and further improves the removal efficiency of potassium ions; the solubility diffusion effect promotes the permeation of solvents and small molecule substances.
[0027] In the actual application of traditional Chinese medicine injection, the nanofiltration membrane element 17 adopts a roll-type nanofiltration membrane. The nanofiltration membrane has a molecular weight cut-off between reverse osmosis membrane and ultrafiltration membrane, about 200-1000 Da. The optimal molecular weight cut-off is 200 Da. The roll-type nanofiltration membrane is usually installed in the nanofiltration membrane element 17 in a roll structure, and the medicine liquid enters the membrane assembly under the action of pressure and flows along the membrane surface. Under the joint action of screening and charge effects, part of the medicine liquid permeates the membrane to become the permeate and flows out from the permeate liquid outlet 19; the retained substances form the concentrated liquid and flow out from the concentrated liquid outlet 20, realizing desalination and concentration. In the production of other traditional Chinese medicine injections, different molecular weight cut-off roll-type nanofiltration membranes can be selected according to the needs, or multiple roll-type nanofiltration membranes can be assembled to achieve the purposes of separation, concentration and purification, etc.
[0028] In summary, the desalination and concentration system has significant technical advantages and economic value, and is suitable for the production field of traditional Chinese medicine injection.
