1. The necessity of waste ultrafiltration membranes.
Ultrafiltration membrane is a kind of membrane separation equipment made of polymer materials widely used in water treatment, environmental protection, food and other fields. With the passage of time, the ultrafiltration membrane will lose its original filtration performance due to wear, aging, pollution and other reasons, and needs to be replaced. If these replaced waste ultrafiltration membranes are not properly disposed of, they will cause certain pollution to the environment. Therefore, the reuse of waste ultrafiltration membranes is very necessary.
Second, the technology of waste ultrafiltration membrane.
At present, the best technologies of waste ultrafiltration membranes mainly include physical cleaning, chemical cleaning and heat treatment.
1.Physical cleaning.
Physical cleaning is mainly the removal of dirt and contaminants from the surface of ultrafiltration membranes by mechanical force. This method is suitable for ultrafiltration membranes with a low degree of contamination and can effectively restore the filtration performance of ultrafiltration membranes. Commonly used physical cleaning methods include hydraulic backwashing, gas-liquid backwashing, brushing, etc.
2.Chemical cleaning.
Chemical cleaning mainly uses chemical reagents to react with the dirt and pollutants on the surface of the ultrafiltration membrane, so as to remove the dirt and pollutants. This method is suitable for ultrafiltration membranes with heavy contamination and can effectively restore the filtration performance of ultrafiltration membranes. Commonly used cleaning chemicals include acids, alkalis, oxidants, etc.
3.Heat treatment.
Heat treatment mainly decomposes and burns the dirt and pollutants on the surface of the ultrafiltration membrane through high temperature, so as to remove the dirt and pollutants. This method is suitable for ultrafiltration membranes that cannot be cleaned by physical and chemical methods, and can effectively restore the filtration performance of ultrafiltration membranes. Commonly used heat treatment methods include incineration, high temperature and high pressure treatment, etc.
3. Practical cases of waste ultrafiltration membranes.
In practical applications, the reuse of waste ultrafiltration membranes has been widely used. For example, a water treatment company in the Netherlands reused waste ultrafiltration membranes through physical and chemical cleaning, which not only restored the filtration performance of ultrafiltration membranes, but also reduced environmental pollution. In a food company in China, they reused waste ultrafiltration membranes through heat treatment, and also achieved good results.
IV. Conclusions. With the continuous improvement of environmental awareness, the reuse of waste items has become a very important topic. The reuse of waste ultrafiltration membranes can not only reduce environmental pollution, but also save resources, and has very high economic and environmental value. In the future, we need to further strengthen the research and application of waste ultrafiltration membrane technology to make greater contributions to promoting sustainable development.
