Therefore, the existing iron phosphate yellow material washing process not only consumes a large amount of water resources, but also generates a large amount of high-salinity wastewater, resulting in high wastewater treatment costs and high environmental protection costs.

[0062] S13, backwashing: when the pressure of the pressure sensor 15 rises by 0.1-0.2 MPa or the dilute water flow monitored by the second flow sensor 11 decreases by one-third, the control device controls the entry into backwashing (for example, when the initial flow is 3 m³ / h and it decreases to 2 m³ / h, the control device controls the closing of the membrane concentration pipeline and the connection of the backwashing pipeline to enter backwashing); through the control device to connect the backwashing pipeline, switch the first valve 12, the second valve 13 and the third valve 14 to carry out backwashing, the iron phosphate suspension from the outlet pipe 4 of the pulper 1 and the dilute chamber inlet pipe 24 is pumped into the membrane module 5 by the lining diaphragm pump 18 at a pressure of 1.0 MPa from the dilute chamber inlet 503; at this time, the concentrated chamber outlet 502 is dilute water, and the dilute chamber outlet 504 is concentrated water, the dilute water at the concentrated chamber outlet 502 enters the dilute water tank 7 through the second concentrated chamber outlet pipeline 22, and the concentrated water at the dilute chamber outlet 504 enters the concentrated water tank 6 through the second dilute chamber outlet pipeline 23; the backwashing time is 60 seconds; after backwashing, switch the first valve 12, the second valve 13 and the third valve 14 to continue membrane concentration,
