Description

Reduced pressure multi-effect membrane distillation method and device thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a membrane distillation method and a device thereof, in particular to a pressure reduction multi-effect membrane distillation method and a device thereof for high-salinity wastewater concentration treatment and industrial material separation and concentration.
Background
The membrane distillation technology is a novel liquid separation technology combining the membrane technology and the traditional distillation technology, and compared with a common evaporator, the most obvious characteristic of the membrane distillation is that the effective evaporation area in a unit volume is large, so that the device can efficiently operate in the evaporation process at normal pressure and lower temperature, and the equipment adopts plastic materials, thereby avoiding the corrosion problem of metal materials in the process of treating high-salinity materials. The membrane distillation is a membrane separation process which adopts a hydrophobic microporous membrane and takes the steam pressure difference at two sides of the membrane as the driving force for mass transfer. Driven by the steam pressure difference at the two sides of the microporous hydrophobic membrane, water steam passes through the hydrophobic membrane from the heated feed liquid side and is condensed into liquid. Because of the hydrophobic nature of the membrane, only water vapor can pass through the membrane pores, and feed liquid and non-volatile solutes dissolved therein cannot pass through the membrane pores, the membrane distillation process can theoretically achieve 100% removal of ions, macromolecules, colloids, cells and other non-volatile species. The microporous hydrophobic membrane plays a role in supporting and shielding between two phases in the membrane distillation process. The membrane distillation process can be carried out for treating water solution with extremely high concentration, as long as proper steam partial pressure difference is maintained on two sides of the membrane, and cheap energy sources such as solar energy, terrestrial heat, hot springs, factory waste heat, warm industrial wastewater and the like can be utilized.
Five common membrane distillation modes of operation have been developed, namely direct contact membrane distillation, air gap membrane distillation, air swept membrane distillation, vacuum membrane distillation and absorption membrane distillation. However, the membrane distillation technology has the problem of high energy consumption until now because of the phase change process in the separation process. The phase transformation heat of the water vapor in the membrane distillation process is about 2500kJ/kg and is far larger than the specific heat of the water, namely 4.2kJ/kg. Therefore, the membrane distillation process requires not only an external heat source but also a large amount of external cooling water to condense the vapor of the membrane distillation. Therefore, the recovery of the phase change heat of the water vapor in the membrane distillation process in a proper manner, the application of the phase change heat to the heating of the feed liquid and the reduction of the consumption of cooling water are one of the key problems to be solved for realizing the industrial application of the membrane distillation technology.
