Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water treatment, in particular to a turbulence type gas gap membrane distillation assembly with membrane support. BACKGROUND
[0002] Membrane distillation is a new separation process combining heat method and membrane method, and its advantage is that it can regenerate wastewater by using industrial waste heat. In the membrane distillation process, the hydrophobic membrane is used as the gas-liquid barrier, and the water in the feed liquid evaporates and vaporizes into water vapor at the contact interface between the feed liquid and the membrane. The water vapor driven by the saturation vapor pressure difference of the distillation membrane passes through the dry membrane hole, and is condensed and enriched on the cold side, so as to realize separation. Due to the hydrophobicity of the membrane, the salt in the feed liquid cannot pass through the hydrophobic distillation membrane, and the water vaporized by phase change passes through the distillation membrane and condenses on the other side, so as to achieve the purpose of material separation, concentration or purification.
[0003] The driving force of membrane distillation is the saturation vapor pressure difference caused by temperature difference, so temperature is the main factor affecting the performance of membrane distillation. Since the saturation vapor pressure of the feed liquid increases exponentially with temperature, the higher the effective temperature of the membrane surface, the greater the water production flux of the membrane distillation. However, the temperature polarization phenomenon directly affects the temperature of the membrane surface. Due to the continuous evaporation of volatile substances on the feed liquid side, the temperature of the feed liquid near the membrane surface is actually lower than that of the main body of the feed liquid, which is the temperature polarization phenomenon. The higher the temperature of the feed liquid, the faster the evaporation speed, and the more obvious the influence of temperature polarization effect.
[0004] In addition, the saturation vapor pressure is also affected by the concentration of the feed liquid. The greater the concentration of the feed liquid, the fewer the activated water molecules, and the more difficult it is for the activated water molecules in the feed liquid to escape the gas-liquid cross section, resulting in a decrease in the saturation vapor pressure of water in the feed liquid, which leads to a decrease in the water production flux of the membrane distillation and a decrease in the thermal efficiency. The essence of the membrane distillation process is the phase change and migration of water molecules, so the evaporation of water will lead to an increase in the concentration of solutes in the feed liquid, and the feed liquid near the membrane surface will continuously evaporate, so its concentration is higher than that of the main body of the feed liquid, which is the concentration polarization phenomenon.
[0005] The existing membrane distillation device is still seriously affected by the temperature polarization phenomenon and the concentration polarization phenomenon, and its performance is not very ideal. In addition, in the process of industrial application, the internal structure of the flow channel of the membrane distillation is not clear, and in order to make full use of heat in the industrialization process, a long flow channel is generally used. How to increase the turbulence degree of the feed liquid in the large space long flow channel while reducing the flow dead angle is a problem to be solved in the application process of membrane distillation.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0047] In view of the fact that the thin-film distillation device in the prior art is still seriously affected by temperature polarization and concentration polarization, resulting in less than ideal thin-film distillation performance, how to increase the turbulence of the feed liquid and reduce the dead flow angle in a large space and long flow channel is an urgent problem to be solved in the application of thin-film distillation. The present invention provides a turbulent air gap thin-film distillation assembly with membrane support, including a cover plate, a plate frame, a condenser plate, an air gap partition and a membrane, and further including a membrane support element and a few turbulence disturbance elements.
