Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water treatment technology, specifically to a coating device for the production of salt separation nanofiltration membranes. Background Technology

[0002] Nanofiltration is a pressure-driven membrane separation process that falls between reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration. Research on nanofiltration membranes began in the 1970s and evolved from reverse osmosis membranes. It has several key characteristics: First, the pore size of nanofiltration membranes is around a few nanometers, and the molecular weight cutoff is between that of ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis, approximately 200-1000. Second, their surfaces are generally charged, repelling inorganic ions of the same charge, especially high-valence ions, where the sieving effect is significant. Third, the operating pressure is low, generally less than 1 MPa, offering advantages in energy consumption and equipment investment. Nanofiltration membranes are widely used in water softening and advanced drinking water treatment, separation, purification, and concentration of animal and plant products, wastewater treatment combined with biochemical methods, and the concentration and purification of chemical and pharmaceutical products.

[0003] Currently, in the production of salt-separating nanofiltration membranes, a polymer solution needs to be coated onto the surface of a nonwoven fabric carrier, and the polymer solution is then precipitated in a non-solution environment to produce the base membrane. However, to facilitate uniform coating, the polymer solution concentration is often reduced, causing it to spread during transport after coating on the carrier surface. This results in variations in the thickness of the base membrane, affecting the stability of salt-separating nanofiltration membrane production. Therefore, a coating device for salt-separating nanofiltration membrane production is proposed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a coating device for producing salt separation nanofiltration membranes, including a fixed frame 1, a coating roller 2, a solution tank 3, a guide roller 4, and a drying chamber 5. The inner wall of the fixed frame 1 is provided with a rotatably connected guide roller 4, which consists of an upper roller 6 and a lower roller 7. The upper roller 6 and the lower roller 7 are longitudinally staggered. The side wall of the upper roller 6 is provided with the coating roller 2. The solution tank 3 is provided below the coating roller 2. The right side wall of the solution tank 3 is provided with a liquid injection pipe 8. The top of the fixed frame 1 is fixedly connected to the drying chamber 5. The inside of the drying chamber 5 is fixedly connected with a fan 9, a heating coil 10, and an air guide plate 11. The fan 9 is fixedly connected above the heating coil 10. The air guide plate 11 is provided below the heating coil 10. The lower surface of the air guide plate 11 is provided with an air outlet 12.

[0021] In a further improvement, a coating sleeve 13 is sleeved and connected to the surface of the coating roller 2. The surface of the coating sleeve 13 is provided with uniformly distributed bristles 14. By sleeved and connected to the surface of the coating roller 2 with a coating sleeve 13 with bristles 14, it is convenient to apply the solution to the surface of the carrier, which facilitates the formation of a film of a certain thickness. The design of the replaceable coating sleeve 13 also meets the convenience of adjustment under different production needs.

[0022] In a further improvement, the central axis of the guide roller 4 is connected to the through fixed frame 1, and a drive motor 15 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed frame 1. The output end of the drive motor 15 is fixedly connected to the central axis of the guide roller 4. By fixing the drive motor 15 to the side wall of the fixed frame 1, it is convenient to drive the guide roller 4 to rotate, which facilitates the movement of the carrier.

[0023] In a further improvement, the central shaft of the coating roller 2 passes through the fixed frame 1 and is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 1. A synchronous wheel 16 is fixedly connected to the central shaft of the coating roller 2, and a synchronous wheel 17 is fixedly connected to the end of the central shaft of the guide roller 4. A synchronous belt 18 is provided between the synchronous wheel 16 and the synchronous wheel 17. By providing a synchronous wheel 16 on the central shaft of the coating roller 2, and cooperating with the synchronous wheel 17 on the surface of the central shaft of the guide roller 4, the coating roller 2 can rotate synchronously with the guide roller 4, which facilitates the coating of the solution onto the surface of the carrier.

[0024] Specifically, a scraper roller 19 is provided at the connection between the solution tank 3 and the coating roller 2. The scraper roller 19 is rotatably connected to the solution tank 3. By providing the scraper roller 19 on the surface of the solution tank 3, it is convenient to scrape off excess solution from the surface of the coating roller 2, which facilitates the control of the coating thickness of the coating roller 2.

[0025] In use, a carrier such as nonwoven fabric is passed through guide roller 4, and a polymer solution of a certain amount of melt is injected into solution tank 3. Guide roller 4 drives the carrier to move, and coating roller 2 rotates accordingly, so that the polymer solution in solution tank 3 is evenly coated on the surface of the carrier. After coating, the carrier passes through drying box 5, where hot air at a constant temperature is blown out by fan 9 and heating coil 10 to facilitate drying of the polymer solution, increase the concentration of the polymer solution, prevent the polymer solution from spreading on the surface of the carrier, and ensure that the polymer solution has a certain thickness when it is sent to the non-solvent for precipitation, thereby improving the stability of base film production.

[0026] This invention addresses the problem that in the production of salt-separating nanofiltration membranes, a polymer solution needs to be coated onto the surface of a nonwoven fabric carrier, and then the polymer solution precipitates out in a non-solvent environment to produce a base membrane. Because the polymer solution is often diluted to facilitate uniform coating, it tends to spread during transport after coating the carrier surface, causing variations in the base membrane thickness and affecting the stability of salt-separating nanofiltration membrane production. This invention utilizes a coating device consisting of a fixed frame 1, a coating roller 2, a solution tank 3, a guide roller 4, and a drying chamber 5. This facilitates the guiding and transport of the carrier while uniformly coating the polymer solution onto its surface. The drying chamber 5, fixedly connected at the top, allows for rapid drying and setting of the solution, enabling the polymer solution to quickly precipitate out after immersion in a non-solvent environment to form a base membrane of a certain thickness, thus improving the stability of salt-separating nanofiltration membrane production.
