Description

Water purifier and method based on dielectrophoresis nano-membrane and electrodialysis
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of multi-stage purification and decontamination of tap water, wastewater or sewage, in particular to a water purifier and a method based on dielectrophoresis nano-membranes and electrodialysis.
Background
Water is an important substance which is necessary for life and production activities of human beings and is an irreplaceable important natural resource on the earth. With economic development, population growth and improvement of human cultural levels, water demand is increasing around the world. The total amount of water resources in China is rich, but all people have little water and are not distributed uniformly. At present, the fresh water resource available for cities is very little. The contradiction between the shortage of urban water resources and the water demand for urban economy and cultural development is increasingly prominent, and the situation of urban water shortage is more and more severe, and becomes an important factor for restricting the development of urban socioeconomic development.
Tap water contains substances such as heterochrosis, peculiar smell, residual chlorine, ozone hydrogen sulfide, bacteria, viruses, heavy metals and the like, and can cause serious influence on cells and organs of a human body and even have the risk of carcinogenesis when being directly drunk. Therefore, the drinking water needs to be purified and then output, viruses and bacteria in the tap water are removed, and the foreign color, peculiar smell, residual chlorine, ozone hydrogen sulfide and heavy metals in the tap water are filtered; the suspended particles are blocked to improve the water quality, and trace elements beneficial to human bodies are kept at the same time, so that the standard of directly drinking healthy water published by the world health organization is completely met.
Dielectrophoresis refers to the directional migration of polarized particles in aqueous solution under the action of a non-uniform electric field. The movement direction of the particles depends on the polarizability between the particles and the medium solution, and when the polarizability of the particles is larger than that of the medium solution, the particles move towards the direction with large electric field intensity, which is called positive dielectrophoresis; the reverse is called negative dielectrophoresis. Lower dielectrophoresis is less suitable because it requires a larger non-uniform electric field, has a small particle size, is difficult to manipulate, and is costly.
Electrodialysis refers to a phenomenon in which charged solute particles in a solution migrate through a membrane when separating different solute particles by the selective permeability of a semipermeable membrane under the action of an electric field. The method is mainly applied to the fields of electrodialysis desalination, seawater desalination, electroplating waste liquid treatment and the like. However, electrodialysis is prone to polarization during application, so that a part of electric energy is wasted on water ionization, and current efficiency is reduced; scaling and precipitation in the electrodialysis device can greatly affect the performance of the membrane, increase the resistance of the membrane, reduce the mechanical strength and shorten the service life of the membrane.

In one embodiment, the nanoporous membrane 3 divides the negative dielectrophoresis purification device 2 into an upper half and a lower half, the inlet pump 1 is located in the upper half of the device to pump purified tap water into the device, the first outlet 4 is located in the upper half of the device to discharge filtered impurities, and the second outlet 14 is located in the lower half of the device to feed filtered tap water to the electrodialysis device 7.
In one embodiment, the nanoporous membrane 3 is located in the middle of the dielectrophoresis purification device, the section of the nanopore in the nanoporous membrane is in two symmetrical circular arcs, and the pore diameter is monotonically decreased from top to bottom, so as to ensure that a non-uniform electric field with small electric field intensity and large electric field intensity is formed in the nanopore after the upper and lower polar plates of the dielectrophoresis device are electrified. The nano film can filter a part of pollutants due to the advantage of small size; secondly, when pollutants with the polarizability less than that of water enter the nano-pores, the electric field intensity is low due to the non-uniform electric field in the nano-pores, namely the pollutants directionally move above the nano-membrane and are discharged out of the nano-membrane, so that the pollutants cannot pass through the nano-membrane, and the purification effect on tap water is realized.
In one embodiment, the first outlet 4 can be opened after the dielectrophoresis purification device filters more pollutants to discharge the pollutants outside the dielectrophoresis device, so that the dielectrophoresis device is cleaned, and the service life of the dielectrophoresis device and the nano-membrane is prolonged.

In one embodiment, the number of the inlets and outlets of the electrodialysis device 7 can be determined according to actual conditions, the outlets are generally alternately distributed as concentration outlets and desalination outlets, and the distribution condition is related to the distribution of the positive and negative electrodes and the anion and cation membranes 13. During electrodialysis, the transport number of counterions in the membrane is greater than the transport number in the solution, resulting in ion deficit at the interface between the membrane and the solution in the desalination channels. When the current density is too high, polarization occurs, and water is electrolyzed to carry current. To prevent polarization, an ammeter 15 for detecting the current is installed in the circuit, and the current density in the electrodialysis unit 7 is constantly monitored and controlled below the limit current density in cooperation with the power supply 5.
In one embodiment, the electrodialysis device 7 is externally connected with an electrode reversing module in a circuit to prevent precipitation and scaling in the device, so that good performance and mechanical strength of the membrane are maintained, and the service life of the membrane is prolonged.

In one embodiment, the nanoporous membrane 3 divides the negative dielectrophoresis purification device 2 into an upper half and a lower half, the inlet pump 1 is located in the upper half of the device to pump water to be purified into the device, the first outlet 4 is located in the upper half of the device to discharge filtered impurities, and the second outlet 14 is located in the lower half of the device to send filtered water to the electrodialysis device 7.

The second outlet 14 is followed by a valve to regulate the flow of water to ensure that the appropriate flow is passed to the various inlets of the electrodialysis unit 7.
In one embodiment, the current density in the electrodialysis unit 7 is monitored at all times by means of an ammeter 15 for detecting the current in the circuit of the electrodialysis unit 7, and the current density in the electrodialysis unit 7 is controlled to be below the limit current density in cooperation with the power supply 5. When the electrodialysis device 7 works normally, the drain outlet 9 is controlled to be closed through the three-way valve 10, and the fourth outlet 11 is opened to collect purified water; when the electrodialysis device 7 is cleaned, the polarity reversing module 6 is used for periodically replacing the positive polarity and the negative polarity of the electrode plate, the fourth outlet 11 is controlled to be closed through the three-way valve 10, and the sewage discharge port 9 is opened for discharging sewage.
In one embodiment, tap water mainly containing impurities such as chlorine, organic pollutants, bacteria, heavy metals and the like is pumped into the negative dielectrophoresis purification device 2 by the inlet pump 1, and due to a non-uniform electric field formed in the nano porous membrane 3, polarized particles such as chlorine, organic pollutants, bacteria and the like move directionally but cannot permeate through the membrane, so that the first-step purification is realized; the purified water mainly containing impurities such as heavy metals is introduced into the electrodialysis device 7 through the second outlet 14 at a proper flow rate, and metal ions in the tap water are removed due to the directional movement of the anions and the cations under the action of the electric field and the selective permeability of the anion membrane 8 and the cation membrane 13, so that the tap water is further purified.
