Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water treatment equipment, and in particular to a ceramic flat sheet membrane. Background Technology

[0002] Membranes are materials with selective separation capabilities. The process of separating, purifying, and concentrating different components of a liquid using the selective separation capabilities of membranes is called membrane separation. It differs from traditional filtration in that membranes can separate at the molecular level, and this process is a physical process that does not require phase changes or the addition of additives. Based on the material, membranes can be divided into inorganic and organic membranes. Common organic membranes, such as hollow fiber membranes, have short lifespans and poor fouling resistance, while inorganic membranes, such as ceramic flat sheet membranes, are generally microfiltration membranes, but they offer high separation efficiency, good chemical stability, high mechanical strength, good regeneration performance, and a simple separation process. Current ceramic flat sheet membranes can retain high-molecular-weight particles, but low-molecular-weight substances can still pass through. Furthermore, ceramic flat sheet membranes have poor ductility and are prone to cracking under high temperature, high pressure, or strong acid and alkali corrosion. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention aims to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a ceramic flat sheet membrane that can effectively trap large molecular particles and decompose low molecular weight substances, while also exhibiting good ductility and a long service life.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A ceramic flat sheet membrane includes a front membrane layer, a support layer, and a rear membrane layer. The support layer includes support components and support layer filler. Multiple support components are spaced apart within the support layer filler. The front membrane layer is disposed on the front surface of the support layer, and the rear membrane layer is disposed on the rear surface of the support layer.

[0006] The contact surface between the front surface of the support layer and the rear surface of the front film layer is an arc-shaped toothed surface.

[0007] The contact surface between the rear surface of the support layer and the front surface of the rear film layer is an arc-shaped toothed surface.

[0008] The supporting component is filled with particles formed by high-temperature sintering of alumina, and the minimum diameter of the particles is smaller than the pores between the filler material in the supporting layer.

[0009] The support layer filler is a nano-catalyst, including one or both of silicon dioxide and titanium dioxide.

[0010] Both the front and rear film layers are fine powders with a particle size of less than 1 micrometer, and the particle size of the rear film layer is smaller than that of the front film layer.

[0011] The pore size of the support layer filler is larger than that of the front and rear membrane layers, and the support layer filler traps and decomposes low molecular weight substances with a diameter larger than that of the untreated front membrane layer.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The support component of the support layer of this utility model is filled with particles, which can reduce the damage to the ceramic flat sheet membrane when the ceramic membrane is subjected to collision or vibration, and improve the life of the flat sheet membrane. The filler of the support layer effectively traps and decomposes low molecular weight substances. The contact surfaces between the front membrane layer and the support layer and between the support layer and the rear membrane layer are arc-shaped toothed surfaces, which avoid cleaning dead corners, effectively reduce the residue of acid and alkaline substances, thereby delaying corrosion and extending the service life of the flat sheet membrane.

[0016] The following will describe in detail the embodiments of this utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0018] A ceramic flat sheet membrane includes a front film layer 1, a support layer 2, and a rear film layer 3. The support layer 2 includes a support member 21 and a support layer filler 22. Multiple support members 21 are spaced apart in the support layer filler 22. The front film layer 1 is disposed on the front surface of the support layer 2, and the rear film layer 3 is disposed on the rear surface of the support layer 2.

[0019] The contact surface between the front surface of the support layer 2 and the rear surface of the front film layer 1 is an arc-shaped toothed surface.

[0020] The contact surface between the rear surface of the support layer 2 and the front surface of the rear film layer 3 is an arc-shaped toothed surface.

[0021] The support component 21 is filled with particles formed by high-temperature sintering of alumina, and the minimum diameter of the particles is larger than the pores between the support layer filler 22.

[0022] The support layer filler 22 is a nano-catalyst, including one or both of silicon dioxide and titanium dioxide.

[0023] Both the front film layer 1 and the rear film layer 3 are fine powders with a particle size of less than 1 micrometer, and the particle size of the rear film layer 3 is smaller than that of the front film layer 1.

[0024] The pore size of the support layer filler 22 is larger than that of the front film layer 1 and the rear film layer 3. The support layer filler 22 retains and decomposes low molecular weight substances with a diameter larger than that of the untreated front film layer 1.

[0025] In operation, wastewater enters the ceramic flat sheet membrane from the outside. First, it passes through the front membrane layer 1, where large molecules are trapped. Then, it enters the support layer 2. Because the front membrane layer 1 is composed of fine powder smaller than 1 micrometer, substances smaller than 1 micrometer are trapped and processed there. The remaining low-molecular-weight substances, excluding the trapped large molecules, are trapped and decomposed by the support layer filler 22 in the support layer 2. The support component 21 in the support layer 2 is filled with granules formed by high-temperature sintering of alumina. The granules help reduce damage to the ceramic flat sheet membrane when subjected to impacts or vibrations. The trapped and decomposed low-molecular-weight substances then enter the rear membrane layer 3, where they are degraded into even smaller molecules and trapped for further processing. The contact surface between the front membrane layer 1 and the support layer 2 is an arc-shaped toothed surface, which improves compressive strength while avoiding cleaning dead zones and reducing the residue of acidic and alkaline substances. Only after being treated by the front membrane layer 1, support layer 2, and rear membrane layer 3 can the fluid pass through the ceramic flat sheet membrane and enter the water collection pipe.
