Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water treatment technology, specifically relating to a high-efficiency organic membrane separation device. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial wastewater zero-discharge projects, treating organic matter in high-salinity wastewater presents numerous technical challenges. Firstly, the use of RO / NF membrane technology to treat wastewater salinity leads to an increase in COD concentration as the membrane concentrates, resulting in severe RO / NF membrane fouling, frequent chemical cleaning, a significantly shortened membrane lifespan, and a surge in operating and maintenance costs. Furthermore, when the membrane concentrate enters the evaporation and crystallization system, the high organic matter concentration increases the impurity salt rate and causes mist entrainment, affecting condensate quality. Therefore, the treatment of organic matter in high-salinity wastewater from zero-discharge projects is particularly critical.
[0003] Existing COD treatment methods each have their drawbacks. While ozone oxidation has strong oxidizing properties and no secondary pollution, the ozone generator requires high power, consumes a lot of electricity, and is costly. Furthermore, its COD removal rate in highly saline water is only 20%-30%. Fenton oxidation is simple to operate and requires less investment. It can remove COD using hydroxyl radicals under acidic conditions, but if the raw water is neutral or alkaline, acid must be added, requiring large amounts of hydrogen peroxide and ferrous sulfate, resulting in high reagent costs and the generation of iron sludge causing secondary pollution, thus limiting its application in wastewater treatment. Electrochemical methods utilize electrocatalytic active anodes to generate hydroxyl radicals, but the use of precious metal electrodes leads to high initial investment, high energy consumption, and persistently high costs. Therefore, a high-efficiency organic matter membrane separation device is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-efficiency organic membrane separation device to solve the problems of low removal rate, high reagent cost and easy secondary pollution, large initial investment and high energy consumption in the existing ozone oxidation, Fenton oxidation and electrochemical methods for treating COD in industrial high-salt wastewater.

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0019] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. The conditions in the embodiments can be further adjusted according to specific conditions, and simple improvements to the method of the present invention under the premise of the concept of the present invention are all within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
[0020] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a high-efficiency organic membrane separation device, comprising an inlet tank 1, a precision filter 3, an organic separation membrane 5, and a tubular membrane electrode 6 connected in sequence. An inlet pump 2 is installed on the first connecting pipe 71 connecting the inlet tank 1 and the precision filter 3. A circulation pump 4 is installed on the second connecting pipe 72 connecting the precision filter 3 and the organic separation membrane 5. An outlet pipe 75 is connected to the organic separation membrane 5. An acid dosing device is installed on the third connecting pipe 73 connecting the organic separation membrane 5 and the tubular membrane electrode 6. The tubular membrane electrode 6 is connected to the inlet tank 1 through a fourth connecting pipe 74.
[0021] A level gauge is installed on the water inlet tank 1. When the liquid level is high, the water intake will stop, and when the liquid level is low, the system will shut down.
[0022] The inlet pump 2 is a variable frequency pump. Since the flow rate needs to be calculated and confirmed based on the recovery rate of the organic separation membrane 5, the head is determined by comprehensively considering the pressure difference of the precision filter and the osmotic pressure of the organic separation membrane. Given the unstable osmotic pressure of the organic separation membrane, the inlet pump 2 needs to be frequency-controlled in order to ensure that it can accurately adapt to changes in operating conditions.
[0023] The precision filter 3 has a filter accuracy of 5μm, which can effectively remove suspended solids and impurities in the water. Pressure gauges are installed at the inlet and outlet. When the pressure difference is greater than 0.1MPa, the filter element needs to be replaced.
[0024] The head of the circulating pump 4 is determined based on the pressure difference of the organic separation membrane. Due to the instability of the flow rate, frequency conversion is required, so a frequency converter pump is used.
[0025] The concentrate from the organic separation membrane 5 is divided into two paths: one path is connected to the No. 2 connecting pipe 72 connected to the inlet of the organic separation membrane 5, and the other path is connected to the tubular membrane electrode 6. Since the inlet flow rate of the organic separation membrane 5 is determined according to the number of membranes in the organic separation membrane 5, the inlet flow rate of each membrane is kept constant, which can reduce the risk of scaling. The part with insufficient inlet flow rate is supplemented with concentrate to increase the inlet flow rate of the organic separation membrane 5 and ensure that the inlet flow rate of each membrane is kept constant.
[0026] Pressure transmitters are installed on the No. 2 connecting pipe 72 connected to the inlet of the organic separation membrane 5 and the No. 3 connecting pipe 73 connected to the outlet of the organic separation membrane 5. When the pressure difference of the organic separation membrane 5 reaches 0.3MPa, it needs to be cleaned.
[0027] A cleaning water inlet pipe 81 is provided on the first connecting pipe 71, a first cleaning water outlet pipe 82 is provided on the third connecting pipe 73, and a second cleaning water outlet pipe 83 is provided on the outlet pipe 75; cleaning water is injected through the cleaning water inlet pipe 81, and after flowing in the system, the cleaning water is discharged from the first cleaning water outlet pipe 82 and the second cleaning water outlet pipe 83.
[0028] The concentrated water after organic matter separation membrane 5 has a high COD content, approximately four times that of the influent, providing favorable conditions for the tubular membrane electrode 6. The concentrated water is acidified to adjust the pH to 5-6 before entering the tubular membrane electrode 6 for COD removal. The tubular membrane electrode 6 mainly consists of a pair of perforated cathodes and a metal oxide-coated microporous anode. As reactants flow through the electrode with the water, each pore of the tubular microporous electrode acts as numerous miniature reactors, thereby improving the efficiency of the electrochemical reaction. The COD removal rate of the tubular membrane electrode 6 reaches 60%. The effluent enters the influent tank 1 for circulation. After several circulations, the system reaches equilibrium, achieving a comprehensive COD removal rate of 65%.
[0029] With the organic separation membrane 5 having a recovery rate of 80%, the tubular membrane electrode 6 can process only 20% of the raw water, greatly reducing the amount of chemicals (acid) required, thus resulting in low operating costs per ton of water.
[0030] Example: Industrial wastewater, influent COD: 400 mg / L, product COD: 140 mg / L, flow rate: 10 m³ 3 / h.
[0031] Equipment configuration:
[0032] Water inlet tank 1:1 unit, V=10m3;
[0033] 2:1 inlet pump, Q=15m 3 / h, H=0.7MPa;
[0034] Precision filter 3: 1 unit, Q = 15m 3 / h, filtration accuracy 5μm;
[0035] Circulating pump 4: 1 unit, Q = 30m 3 / h, H=0.5MPa;
[0036] Organic separation membrane 5:1 set, Q output = 10m 3 / h, recovery rate 80%;
[0037] Tubular membrane electrode 6: 1 set, Q = 3m 3 / h;
[0038] The inlet flow rate of water tank 1 is maintained at 10m³ / h. 3 / h, when the water level in the tank is greater than 1m, start the inlet pump 2 to pump into the precision filter 3, and start the circulation pump 4 to enter the organic separation membrane 5. The recovery rate of the organic separation membrane 5 is set to 80%. In the first 5 minutes after startup, the product water cannot reach COD ~140mg / L, so open the discharge valve 51 to discharge into the ditch. After 5 minutes, the product water COD reaches 140mg / L, and close the discharge valve 51; concentrate flow ~2.5m 3 The pH is adjusted to 5.5 by adding acid per hour, and then the water enters the tubular membrane electrode 6. The effluent COD is ~700mg / L and enters the inlet tank 1 for circulation.
